immediate restoration after vital pulp therapy is essential in order to create and maintain effective coronal seal.the aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of recently used pulp capping materials: white mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), and calcium enriched mixture cement (cem) to composite resin with the use of etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesive systems and compare them...

Background:Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus express a myriad of adhesive surface proteins that play important role in colonization of the bacteria on nasal and skin surfaces, beginning the process of pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to screen several of the Microbial Surface Components Recognizing Adhesive Matrix Molecules (MSCRAMMs) genes among the isolate of S. a...

This review discusses current progress and future challenges in the numerical modeling of targeted drug delivery using functionalized nanocarriers (NC). Antibody coated nanocarriers of various size and shapes, also called functionalized nanocarriers, are designed to be injected in the vasculature, whereby they undergo translational and rotational motion governed by hydrodynamic interaction with...

background and aims: new dentin bonding agents and techniques have been developed to reduce microleakage and create higher bond strength. this in-vitro study compared the microleakage of three resin-based adhesives versus a gic-based adhesive on class v composite restorations.  materials and methods: class v cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 72 sound premolars, randomly assigned ...

Mucoadhesion is a field of current interest in the design of drug delivery systems. Mucoadhesion is commonly defined as the adhesion between two materials, at least one of which is a mucosal surface. Mucoadhesive drug delivery system may be designed to enable prolonged residence time of the dosage form at the site of application or absorption and facilitate an intimate contact of the dosage for...

A transdermal patch is a medicated adhesive that applied to the skin contains medication intended be absorbed into bloodstream. This frequently encourages healing of body part has been hurt. Transdermal delivery allows for regulated drug release patient, resulting in less systemic side effects and, certain cases, increased efficacy over other dose forms. an advantage types such as oral, topical...

OBJECTIVES To design an in-situ gelling hydrogel capable of solidifying rapidly under physiologic conditions into a hydrogel capable of adhering tissue surfaces together. DESIGN Multifunctional polymers containing covalently bound peptide substrates of transglutaminase were designed. EXPERIMENTAL VARIABLE Enzyme cross-linked hydrogels were compared with commercial fibrin tissue adhesive. ...

multiple adhesive coating is a controversial topic, especially in primary dentition that should be clarified. we evaluated the effect of multiple consecutive adhesive resin coatings on the microshear bond strength (μsbs) of composite resin to primary tooth dentin utilizing a filled (adper single bond plus) and an unfilled (adper single bond) adhesive resin.thirty extracted primary canines were ...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dilution and curing methods of an etch-and-rinse adhesive and a self-etching primer from the same manufacturer at early exposure time on cytotoxicity of primary hu-man gingival fibroblasts. materials and methods. primary human gingival fibroblasts were exposed to different dilutions of adper single bond (asb) and adper pro...
