This study aimed to evaluate the tensile and transverse bond strength of chairside reline resins (Tokuyama Rebase II, Mild Rebaron LC) to a thermoplastic acrylic resin (Acrytone) used for non metal clasp denture. The results were compared with those of a conventional heat polymerized acrylic resin (Paladent 20) and a thermoplastic polyamide resin (Biotone). The failure sites were examined by sc...

This in vitro study performed elemental analysis of the ions absorbed into the salivary coat covering the surfaces of S-PRG resin blocks and assessed the adherence of Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus mutans to these saliva-coated S-PRG resin blocks. Elemental analysis of ions absorbed into the salivary coat of resin blocks exposed to the saliva was performed using an inductive coupled ...

Catechol-type chitosan resin and salicylic acid-type chitosan resin were easily synthesized for use in estimating the adsorption behavior of 34 elements at pH 1 - 7 in aquatic media. The catechol-type chitosan resin could adsorb Cu(II) at pH 3 - 7, In(III) at pH 4 - 6, Pb(II) and lanthanoids at pH 5 - 7, and U(VI) at pH 4 - 7 more effectively than the salicylic acid-type chitosan resin and the ...

The Wang Tiles method is a successful and effective technique for the representation of 2D-texture or 3D-geometry. In this paper we present a new method to fill Wang tiles with a 2D-FON distribution or a 3D-geometry in order to achieve a more efficient runtime. We extend the Wang Tiles method to include information about their position. We further demonstrate how the individual tiles are filled...

We consider local minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional

Dominoes is a popular and well-known game possibly dating back three millennia. Players are given a set of domino tiles, each with two labeled square faces, and take turns connecting them into a growing chain of dominoes by matching identical faces. We show that singleplayer dominoes is in P, while multiplayer dominoes is hard: when players cooperate, the game is NP-complete, and when players c...

The purpose of this study was to confirm the dimensional accuracy of a newly developed injection pressing method for resin polymerization by making use of the internal electric resistance of resin to determine the optimal timing for resin injection. A new injection pressing polymerization pot with a built-in system to measure the internal electric resistance of resin was used for resin polymeri...

The penetration coefficients (PC) and tensile bond strengths of two pit and fissure sealants and a low viscosity bonding resin were evaluated. The penetration coeftYcients of the resin systems were determined at 22°C. Five determinations were done with each resin. Bonded test specimens were loaded to failure in the tensile mode in an Instron testing macl~’ne. Ten specimens were prepared with ea...
