objective: the aim of this study is to measure the effect of different condensation pressure on the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta).  methods: this study was an invitro study. a total of 55 single rooted straight-canal human extracted sound teeth free of cracks or calcification were selected. teeth were sectioned from cej region at 3 mm above the root apex. remaining specimens ...

microleakage is a main cause of restorative treatment failure. in this study, we compared occlusal and cervical microleakage of two self-adhesive cements after 24 hours and two months.in this in-vitro experimental study, class ii inlay cavities were prepared on 60 sound human third molars. composite inlays were fabricated with z100 composite resin. the teeth were randomly assigned to six groups...

background and objective: given the widespread use of paraffin in the treatment of constipation in chil-dren and the possibility of long duration of drug use and the risk of drug leakage, the risk of urinary infection in these patients is considerable. the aim of this study was to determine the association between leakage of paraf-fin and the presence or exacerbation of the urinary infection an...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of dentin bonding agents in root canals obturated with gutta-percha and mta. methods: forty-five single rooted human premolar teeth were decoronated so that remaining root portions were 12 mm in length. the samples were divided randomly into three experimental (n=13) and two control groups (n=3). all teeth were instrume...

The literature on leakage-resilient cryptography contains various leakage models that provide different levels of security. In this work, we consider the bounded leakage and the continual leakage models. In the bounded leakage model (Akavia et al. – TCC 2009), it is assumed that there is a fixed upper bound L on the number of bits the attacker may leak on the secret key in the entire lifetime o...

background and aims. various materials and methods have been introduced for obturating cleaned and shaped root canal systems. this in vitro study aimed to evaluate the sealing ability of single-cone obturation technique with mineral tri-oxide aggregate and calcium-enriched mixture based on bacterial leakage approach. materials and methods. sixty-four single-canal teeth were prepared and randoml...

The restoration of teeth utilising composites still presents a myriad of clinical challenges for the dental clinician. This is especially true for extensively broken down teeth and as well, those teeth which have been accessed endodontically. Fibre posts such as the quartz Macro-Lock Illusion X-RO post (Recherches Techniques Dentaires—RTD) UniCore Fiber post (Ultradent), and DT Light-Post (RTD)...

This work reports the use of nasal leakage to achieve the pressure difference for voicing in utterance-initial Spanish stops. Multiparametric aerodynamic and acoustic data were analyzed for six Spanish speakers. Two main patterns of prenasalization were identified in postpausal voiced stops: (i) delayed nasal closure relative to the oral closure and (ii) a momentary nasal opening (nasal burst) ...

Conventional leakage reduction techniques focus primarily on sub-threshold leakage mitigation, while neglecting the effect of gate leakage current. This work focuses on understanding gate leakage current and developing circuit techniques for total leakage minimization. We present an efficient technique for gate leakage of CMOS circuits. Input vector control and circuit reconfiguration technique...
