background and aims. anterior esthetic restoration is challenging in pediatric dentistry, due to limited durability and poor retention of the restoration.this study assessed the effect of air abrasion on tensile failure load of composite class iii restorations using different preparation techniques. materials and methods. 100 extracted human anterior primary teeth were divided, based on the pre...

an experimental program was carried out to investigate the behavior of steel, fiber reinforced concrete (sfrc) under abrasion and cycles of freeze and them. compression and flexural tests were also performed in order to reach a comprehensive conclusion of the response. in total, over 200 specimens were tested the test variables included two concrete strength., (i. e., 28 mpa as normal strength ...

the aim of this research work was to investigate on the ball filling estimation of miduk semi-autogenous (sag) mill via an utilized method. miduk copper concentrator is located in kerman province, iran, and its size reduction stage includes one gyratory crusher which feeds one sag mill (9.75 dia.(m)*3.88 length(m)) following two parallel ball mills (5dia.(m)*7lenght(m)). after sag mill, a tromm...

Mycological examination is still the cornerstone for the diagnosis of onychomycosis for many dermatologists, but sampling technique interferes on its sensitivity and specificity. Nail abrasion may be used to reach the most proximal part of the lesion and can be easily accomplished with an electric abrasor. We suggest nail plate dermoscopy to identify the best location for localized abrasion to ...

AIM Aim of this experiment is the efficacy evaluation of three different types of surface preparation techniques by microleakage assessment of two different sealing materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty teeth were used for the experiment: half were treated with Admira seal (Voco) and the remaining half with Delton FS+ (Dentsply). Each group was then divided into three subgroups, which underw...

The engineering properties of the lunar regolith reflect aspects of the original parent rock and the consequences of hypervelocity meteor bombardment. Compared to the Earth the geologic nature of the lunar regolith is quite distinct. On scales relevant to machinery, heterogeneity with respect to size and composition is much higher. But the total range in composition is much more restricted. Bot...

Wear maps were developed following a series of micro-abrasion-corrosion testing during idealised hip contact conditions for a CoCrMo alloy in a foetal calf serum solution. The main aim of the study was to characterise wear-corrosion or bio-tribocorrosion regimes of the alloy over a range of applied loads and applied potentials. The transitioning micro-abrasion-corrosion mechanisms, synergisms a...

[1] Bed load sediment particles supplied to channels by hillslopes are reduced in size by abrasion during downstream transport. The branching structure of the channel network creates a distribution of downstream travel distances to a given reach of river and thus may strongly influence the grain size distribution of the long-term bed load flux through that reach. Here we investigate this hypoth...
