Objective: One complication of fixed orthodontic treatment in patients with poor oral hygiene is development of demineralized enamel lesions compromising esthetics. This study aimed to review preventive measures and treatment of white spot lesions (WSLs) in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Review of Literature: In this review study, PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched ...

Incorporating fibers into asphalt mixtures as additives and stabilizers can significantly enhance the performance of pavements. This study aimed to analyze impact using basalt bamboo modifiers on properties mastics. The effects different types rutting resistance, fatigue elastic recovery, low-temperature cracking were tested frequency scanning, linear amplitude scanning (LAS), multiple stress c...

Asphalt modification/reinforcement has received considerable attention as viable solutions to enhance flexible pavement performance. This is mainly prompted by the unsatisfactory performance of traditional road materials exposed to dramatic increases and changes in traffic patterns. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue behaviour of nano reinforced Stone Mastic Asphalt mixtures. Fatigue...

Viscoelastic characterisation of asphalt mixtures is an important component for modelling and performance prediction flexible pavements. In this study, using spherical indentation testing measuring the viscoelastic properties explored. Indentation may provide interesting alternative to existing experimental techniques, as it capable characterising small material volumes. Thus, become a useful t...
