BACKGROUND We studied the biological safety, biomechanics, and tissue compatibility of calcium phosphate cement and Polymethyl Methacrylate composite bone cement mixed in different ratios. MATERIAL/METHODS CPC and PMMA were mixed in different ratios (3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20). PMMA solvent is a general solvent containing a dissolved preparation of the composite bone cemen...

The preparation, characterization, and in vitro release of aspirin from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/silica composites prepared via a sol-gel route are reported. The in vitro drug release test revealed that the release rate of aspirin in PBS increased with the silica content in the composites; on the contrary, the increase of the content of 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MSMA), a cou...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Some clinical situations may require the repair of a secondary polymerized or aged composite. The higher indirect resin conversion rate may prove to be a disadvantage if a repair procedure based on covalent bonding from unreacted methacrylate groups is attempted. PURPOSE This study evaluated the effectiveness of different combinations of surface treatments and 2 bonding a...

objectives: to assess the effect of lactic acid (la) on microleakage of silorane-based composite restorations and methacrylate-based composites with self-etch and etch-and-rinse bonding systems. materials and methods: class v cavities were prepared in 120 extracted human teeth, divided into four groups and restored as follows: 1. silorane-based composite+p90 adhesive system (p90); 2. filtek z25...

Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) is the most common material used in Prosthodontics. Several studies indicate a breakdown of the number of very high resin bases after 2 to 3 years to avoid breaking bass and several attempts have been made, such as altering the chemical structure of resin by adding causes cross linking or copolymerization. The innovative method for improving the physical properti...

the aim of this study was to assess the effect of 30% hydrogen peroxide on the microleakage of class v cavities restored with either a silorane-based composite or two methacrylate-based composites.a total of 96 standard class v cavities (1.5 × 2 × 3 mm) were prepared on the buccal surface of sound extracted human premolars with both enamel and dentin margins and randomly assigned into three gro...

Early tooth-colored restorative materials were weak and only suitable for anterior teeth. Over time, composites were developed that offered improved properties enabling their use in posterior teeth where subject to occlusal loading and forces of mastication. Secondary caries is the main reason for failure of both amalgam and composite restorations. Amalgam restorations offer ease-of-use but poo...

BXFL (bagasse xylem ferulate)-g-AM (acrylamide)/MAA (methyl methacrylate) was synthesized based on bagasse xylan(BX)-g-AM/MAA in 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim] Cl) ion solution with Ferulic Acid (FL) as esterification agent. The various factors that were investigated influenced carboxylic acid ester substitution degree (DSC) of BXFL-g-AM/MAA. The structures of BXFL-...
