In dentistry, acrylates have been used for preparing denture bases for 50 years. Although polymethylmethacrylates (PMMA) are known to be an ideal base material, they possess some undesirable mechanical properties, especially their impact strength and tensile strength, which appear to be unsatisfactory for some applications. Additives and fibers have therefore been used to enhance and improve th...

OBJECTIVE The reattachment of the crown fragment to a fractured tooth is a conservative treatment that should be considered for young patients with crown-root fractures to the maxillary incisors if the subgingival fracture can be exposed to provide isolation. Gingivectomy, the surgical or orthodontic extrusion of the apical fragment is necessary to expose the subgingival fracture. This report d...

We propose a novel approach of wet electrospinning to yield fiber-reinforced polymer ceramic composites, where reactive precursor gel is used as collector. illustrate our by generating polyethylene oxide (PEO) fibers in potassium silicate gel; the later activated using metakaolin ceramic-0.5 wt% PEO fiber composite. An increase 29% and 22% recorded for fabricated composites terms indentation mo...
