OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of the addition of glass flakes on physical properties of conventional heat cure denture base resins and to compare it with a high impact strength denture base resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Test specimens were divided into Group 1 - poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (Trevalon), Group 2 - Trevalon HI, Group 3 -5% glass flake +95% PMMA (Trevalon), Group 4 -10...

Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate adhesion ability of resin-modified glass ionomer adhesive (Vitrebond) to ethanol-saturated dentin following two different surface conditioning regimes in term of microtensile bond

Highly-ordered, pore-modified with amine groups, and glass-like mesoporous silicon oxynitride thin films were prepared by heat treatment of as-synthesized mesoporous silica thin films in a flowing ammonia environment at high temperatures.
