We also show examples of their potential applications, including lossy image ...

A simple procedure for the measurement of submicrogram quantities of protein is described which can be used without interference from most common reagents. Protein-containing solutions are spotted on glass fiber filters, washed with trichloroacetic acid, and stained with Coomassie blue. The filters are destained, and the protein-bound colorant is eluted and measured in a spectrophotometer at 59...

Although there is considerable infor-mation about the adherence of Candida albicans to buccal epithelial cells and prosthetic materials, there is very little infor-mation available about th...

BACKGROUND The biocompatibility of resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGIs) as a lining material is still under question. The present study evaluated the response of the pulp-dentin complex following application of resin-modified glass-ionomer cement, calcium hydroxide and conventional glass-ionomer in deep cavities prepared in human teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this controlled clinical trial...
