microleakage is a main cause of restorative treatment failure. in this study, we compared occlusal and cervical microleakage of two self-adhesive cements after 24 hours and two months.in this in-vitro experimental study, class ii inlay cavities were prepared on 60 sound human third molars. composite inlays were fabricated with z100 composite resin. the teeth were randomly assigned to six groups...

backgrounds the degree of microleakage is one of the main criteria in evaluating the restorative materials such as glass ionomer (gi) restoratives, which are available in two forms: loose powder and liquid form to be hand-mixed or pre-proportioned in a capsule to be mixed mechanically. objectives this study was conducted to compare the microleakage of encapsulated gi restoratives with their han...

background and objective: given the widespread use of paraffin in the treatment of constipation in chil-dren and the possibility of long duration of drug use and the risk of drug leakage, the risk of urinary infection in these patients is considerable. the aim of this study was to determine the association between leakage of paraf-fin and the presence or exacerbation of the urinary infection an...

background and aims. newer curing units such as plasma arc can polymerize the sealants in much shorter curing times. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two different curing units on the micro-leakage of a fissure sealant material. materials and methods. sixty two extracted premolars without caries were randomly divided into two groups of 31 samples. occlusal surfaces of all teet...

objectives : the aim of this in-vitro experimental study was to assess the effect of application of a desensitizing varnish on the enamel and dentin marginal seal. materials and methods: seventy-two freshly extracted, intact human premolar teeth were divided into four groups (n=18). class v cavities (3mm in length, 2mm in width and 2mm in depth) were prepared on the buccal surface of each tooth...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of dentin bonding agents in root canals obturated with gutta-percha and mta. methods: forty-five single rooted human premolar teeth were decoronated so that remaining root portions were 12 mm in length. the samples were divided randomly into three experimental (n=13) and two control groups (n=3). all teeth were instrume...

The literature on leakage-resilient cryptography contains various leakage models that provide different levels of security. In this work, we consider the bounded leakage and the continual leakage models. In the bounded leakage model (Akavia et al. – TCC 2009), it is assumed that there is a fixed upper bound L on the number of bits the attacker may leak on the secret key in the entire lifetime o...

background and aims. various materials and methods have been introduced for obturating cleaned and shaped root canal systems. this in vitro study aimed to evaluate the sealing ability of single-cone obturation technique with mineral tri-oxide aggregate and calcium-enriched mixture based on bacterial leakage approach. materials and methods. sixty-four single-canal teeth were prepared and randoml...

This work reports the use of nasal leakage to achieve the pressure difference for voicing in utterance-initial Spanish stops. Multiparametric aerodynamic and acoustic data were analyzed for six Spanish speakers. Two main patterns of prenasalization were identified in postpausal voiced stops: (i) delayed nasal closure relative to the oral closure and (ii) a momentary nasal opening (nasal burst) ...
