Post-orthodontic relapse of lower incisors is a common phenomenon. Sometimes a bonded retainer is fitted to prevent this relapse. In this article, we suggest a handy clinical technique of fitting a lower bonded retainer, which is convenient and easy to carry out.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the microtensile bond strengths (μ TBS) of three core materials with one lithium disilicate reinforced ceramic using two resin cements. Methods: Three core materials (Nulite F® (Biodental Technologies), Filtek Z250® (3M-ESPE), Prettau-Anterior® (Zirkonzhan, Germany)) were prepared as blocks (10×10×4 mm3) according to the manufacturer’s instruction...

in  this  study,  amino  functional  groups  were  chemically  bonded  to  the  surface  of  newly synthesized  kit-6  mesoporous  magnetite  nanoparticles  (mmnps)  by  post-toluene  reflux synthesis method.  this method  treats  calcined mesoporous  nanoparticles with  the  functional organosilanes.  physical  and  chemical  structures  of  the  synthesized  mesoporous  magnetite nanoparticle...

to calculation non-bonded interaction of the [cocl6]3- complex embedded in nano ring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride b18n18 nano ring. thus, the geometry of b18n18 nano ring has been optimized by b3lyp method with epr-ii (electron paramagnetic resonance) basis set and geometry of the [cocl6]3- complex has been optimized at b3lyp method with aldrich’s vtz basis set and stuttgart rsc 1...

Introduction In the 1970s, exterior bonded steel reinforcement was used sporadically to reinforce bridges to attain higher service load capacities. This steel post-strengthening system consisted of steel straps bonded with epoxies to the exterior of concrete beams. An alternative to the steel retrofit is woven carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabric applied in the same manner as steel. Carbon fi...
