MID is of utmost importance in today's dental practice as it focuses on least invasive treatment options possible in order to minimize the tissue loss and patient discomfort. So MID is the key principle in remineralization of early carious lesions non invasively by advocating a therapeutic or biological approach rather than traditional surgical approach for early surface lesions. The aim of thi...

Dental traumatic fractures are the common reason for seeking dental care and coronal fractures being the frequent type of dental trauma encountered in the permanent dentition. The acid etch adhesive technique may be used to restore function and esthetics of fractured anterior teeth. But whenever the fractured fragment is available, re-attachment will be a viable option as it offers certain adva...

PURPOSE Root fracture is a common and serious cause of abutment tooth loss. No studies to date have comprehensively assessed the individual contributions of the factors that increase stress on abutment teeth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the stress distribution in abutment teeth based on a three-dimensional finite element model and to analyze the factors that affect stress distribut...

Retrieval studies have indicated that debonding of the stem cement interface in total hip arthroplasty precedes clinical failure of femoral components. This study addressed the mechanisms that play a role in the debonding process by analyzing how debonding is likely to proceed in the course of time. It was investigated whether debonding is an immediate process or if it is likely to develop slow...

Debonding of films attached to substrates as well as fibers embedded in matrices typically involves initiation, steady-state propagation and a final transient as the debond converges on an edge or another debond. The emphasis in this paper is on the mechanics of the transient. Under most circumstances, a converging debond crack is characterized by an energy release rate that approaches zero, ca...

The aim of the present study was to compare area and volume remaining cement after lingual buccal multibracket appliance debonding. Further, enamel were also analyzed using a morphometric digital measurement technique. Ten 10 appliances cemented in 20 extracted teeth embedded into an epoxy resin model simulating dental arch. models scanned before bonding appliances, debonding polishing cement. ...

The study of debonding is of importance in providing a good understanding of the bonded interfaces of dissimilar materials. The problem of debonding of an arbitrarily shaped rigid inclusion in an infinite plate with a point dislocation of thin plate bending is investigated in this paper. Herein, the point dislocation is defined with respect to the difference of the plate deflection angle. An an...

Both the flexural and shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be substantially enhanced using externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Failures of such FRP-strengthened RC beams often occur by debonding of the FRP plate from the RC beam in a number of forms. Despite numerous theoretical and experimental studies on debonding failures of FRP-strengthened RC beams...
