Various grinders (diamond and carbide burs, and soflex disks) were used in polishing the composite filling surfaces. Polishing was carried out 10 minutes and 14 days after the material polymerization. The ground surface was then observed by a scanning electron microscope and the surface roughness expressed in [xm. Better surface polish and lower de­ gree of roughness were observed when polishin...

China has developed into an industry for which polishing is an important step in production. The housings of mobile phones, computers, video cameras and similar consumer goods all need polishing before they can be used and China is a global center for the manufacturing of these parts. When we talk about almost one billion of those parts manufactured in China every year it is clear that even ski...

To date, KEK has developed cleaning techniques for superconducting niobium RF cavities. These include: electro-polishing (EP), buffered chemical polishing (BCP) barrel polishing (BP), high pressure rinsing (HPR), megasonic ]lot water rinsing, degassing water, ozonated water cleaning, waste water treatment, and so oil. In this paper, we present findings from electro-poloishing of cavities, which...

Background and Aim: Discoloration is a major concern with regard to the use of tooth-colored restorations. Type of restorative material and surface treatment are believed to play a role in this regard. This study sought to compare the color change of glazed and polished dental porcelain after 30 days of immersion in chlorhexidine (CHX). Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental s...

BK7 glass is widely used in various optical instruments as a common ceramic material. However, there are still several difficulties the polishing process due to its material properties. Ultrasonic vibration–assisted (UVAP) for excellent removal few researches on model of UVAP tilted. Therefore, this paper investigates problem. A was established titled column polishing; The pressure distribution...

Background and Aim: Color match between prosthetic restorations and natural teeth is challenging in dentistry. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of accelerated aging on color stability of two silica-based ceramics with leucite and lithium disilicate crystalline phases after glazing and polishing surface treatments. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 30 disc-...

ABSTRACT: The paper describes an advanced control technique that uses a self-adjusting controller. The technique allows changing control parameters of the manipulator according to different technological forces and disturbances acting to the end-effector of the manipulator while performing surface treatment construction operations such as cleaning and polishing. The system is asymptotically sta...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains or seeds are known to lose much of their nutrient and antioxidant contents, following polishing. The current study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the carbohydrate content and antioxidant parameters in the unpolished and polished seeds of three edible indica rice cultivars, namely Swarna (SW), the most popular indica rice cultivar in India and aromatic or sc...

Aim: To compare the effect of four different polishing systems on color stability of two Nano composite resins immersed in four beverages (Coffee, Tea, Cola and Fanta). Methods: Eighty disc shaped specimens of 10 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness were prepared for each of the two Nano composite resins (Tetric N Ceram; Estelite alpha). The specimens of each material were divided into four groups (n...

Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films grown by chemical vapour deposition have an intrinsic surface roughness, which hinders the development and performance of the films' various applications. Traditional methods of diamond polishing are not effective on NCD thin films. Films either shatter due to the combination of wafer bow and high mechanical pressures or produce uneven surfaces, which ha...
