objective: maintaining the health of oral tissues is a major goal in dentistry. however, limitations in dental materials, instruments, procedures and medications prevent achievement of this goal. advances in nanotechnology have paved the way to approach this goal. this study reviews the advances on nanotechnology in dentistry. review of literatures: in this review study, google scholar, pubmed,...

Abstract The rheological properties of cement pastes prepared using kenaf-plant cellulose microfibers (CMFs), which was incorporated for the purpose internal curing, were investigated. main test variables are length and mass fraction CMFs. CMFs lengths 400 ?m 5 mm included in mixtures at 0.3, 0.6, 1, 2 wt.% cement. Dry CMF particles wetted with water to fiber saturation point vacuum filtration ...

A variety of agents, e .g. colchicine, that are known to affect mitosis are also of value in providing information about motility of and within the cell . Cytochalasins isolated from yeast by W . B . Turner, and shown by Carter and others to inhibit motility and to block cell division, may be classified as another antimotility group (1) . One unique feature of this compound is that it may be sp...

BACKGROUND Hydrophobic biopolymers such as polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA, 85:15) have been extensively explored as scaffolding materials for tissue engineering applications. More recently, electrospun microfiber-based and nanofiber-based scaffolds of PLGA have received increased attention because they act as physical mimics of the fibrillar extracellular matrix. However, the hydrophobicity of ...

Abstract Cellulose and chitosan have been studied for wound dressing due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, lower antigenicity, renewability. The functional structural characteristics of such biopolymers can be dramatically improved by transformation into fibrous bioaerogels outstanding as low density, high porosity, large specific surface area. Producing aerogels in the form fibers t...
