AIM Aim of this experiment is the efficacy evaluation of three different types of surface preparation techniques by microleakage assessment of two different sealing materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty teeth were used for the experiment: half were treated with Admira seal (Voco) and the remaining half with Delton FS+ (Dentsply). Each group was then divided into three subgroups, which underw...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal seal of four temporary filling materials, coltosol, zonalin, zamherir, and intermediate restorative material (irm) by the india ink dye penetration test. materials and methods: endodontic access preparations were prepared in 120 extracted intact human premolars. the teeth were randomly divided into six groups including ...

The aim of this laboratory study was to compare the interfacial adaptation of an epoxy-resin and a self-etch sealer in mesial root canals of mandibular molars filled using the System-B/Elements Obturation Unit. Sixty mesial root canals of mandibular molars were prepared using the K3 rotary system up to 35.04 instrument and then filled with the aid of the System-B/Elements Obturation Unit using ...

This investigation examined the marginal characteristics of the collarless metal ceramic restoration made with two commonly used direct-lift techniques: (1) a porcelain/wax paste and (2) a porcelain/liquid slurry. The metal copings touched the shoulder in half of the groups and were left 0.5 mm short in the other half to comprise the four experimental groups. Marginal seal was evaluated at faci...

Experimental marginal leakage of high- and low-Cu amalgam restorations placed in acrylic teeth, where the cavities were untreated or painted with denatured collagen and/or a CaP slurry, was assessed after specimens were stored in a 1% NaCl solution for ten days and for one yr. All specimens stored for ten days showed severe marginal leakage. High- and low-Cu amalgam restorations placed in untre...

This case report is about a rare disease with unusual presentation. Failure to recognise atypical presentation may lead to error in managing the patient and cause disastrous complications. Here we highlight a case of Terrien Marginal Degeneration in both eyes with atypical presentation; namely pseudopterygium. A 22 year old man was referred to our centre for iatrogenic right eye corneal perfora...

Prosthodontic treatment sometimes requires a long-term interim fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) until the definitive restoration can be cemented. However, some interim materials are weak and do not have an adequate marginal seal. The CAD/CAM systems have developed considerably, offering accuracy and more options than previously. It can be envisioned that CAD/CAM technology developments will contin...

BACKGROUND The recent seal death epizootic prompted interest in their immune system, for which no current morphological data were available. METHODS Lymph nodes from adult harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) were investigated by light microscopy, electron microscopy, and lectin histochemistry. RESULTS No significant differences in the lymph node morphology were...
