While dynamic channel bonding (DCB) is proven to boost the capacity of wireless local area networks (WLANs) by adapting bandwidth on a per-frame basis, its performance tied primary and secondary selection. Unfortunately, in uncoordinated high-density deployments where multiple basic service sets (BSSs) may potentially overlap, hand-crafted spectrum management techniques perform poorly given com...

Forming a bond to dentin has been a great challenge. Dentin is a vital tissue composed of organic material and water in addition to the inorganic content. Operative procedures on dentin produce a loosely-bound surface of unorganized material known as the "smear layer". For optimum bonding to occur, this layer needs to be removed or altered. A dentin bonding agent should be biocompatible and sho...

The efficacy of marketed and experimental self etching dentin primers which contained dicarboxylic acids or their esterified salts diluted in 35% hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) solution were studied by measuring the wall-to-wall polymerization contraction of the light curing composite in the cylindrical dentin cavity and the tensile bond strength to the flat dentin surface. In both of the meas...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate tensile bond strengths of 2 dentin bonding agents containing solvents on Nd:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG laser-etched dentin surface. METHOD AND MATERIALS Occlusal enamel of 146 molars was removed, and exposed surfaces were ground with a diamond bur to produce bur-cut dentin surfaces. Of those teeth, 120 were assigned to 3 groups of 40 samples in which dentin was conditioned with ...

Clearfil DC Bond (DC) is a new single-step, dual-cure bonding agent. In this study, the shear bond strengths of a core build-up composite to dentin used with four bonding systems [DC, Unifil Core Self-Etching Bond (UC), Clearfil SE Bond (SE) and Cleafil tri-S Bond (TS)] were measured. The bonding ability after 7 days of storage and in vitro durability following 20,000 thermocycles were also eva...
