introduction in this study, we have investigated the effect of using phosphoric acid on bonding efficacy of an all-in-one adhesive system, after salivary contamination of dentin. methods and materials eighty-four extracted human molars were prepared for their superficial dentins to be exposed. the molars separated into 7 groups. group 1 specimens were not contaminated. in groups 2-4, samples we...

About a decade ago, carbohydrate mouth rinsing was shown to enhance endurance exercise performance. This improvement was more pronounced in a fasted compared to a fed state, suggesting that the ergogenic effect of carbohydrate mouth rinse is dependent on endogenous carbohydrate storage. Hence, indirectly highlights the potential use of carbohydrate mouth rinse as a potential strategy to mitigat...

1 Purpose. To investigate pH and osmolality changes in the solutions stored in 2 contact lens cases, when different case rinsing and drying methods are used on 3 a daily basis. 4 Methods. Four multipurpose solutions (Opti-Free Express, Solo-Care Aqua, 5 Re-Nu Multiplus and Complete) and two hydrogen peroxide systems 6 (AOsept and Oxysept) were studied. Cases were filled with the solutions and 7...

BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective placebo-controlled pilot study was to evaluate short-term effects of a mouthrinse containing aluminium triformate (ATF) on gingival inflammation and plaque formation in periodontal patients who are in the maintenance phase. ATF has styptic (astringent) and anti-inflammatory effects. METHODS Forty non-smoking periodontal patients with modified sulcus blee...

The batch rinsing process developed by our company, called Bleachstar, has given excellent results in industrial practice, especially in the bleaching of tubular knit goods. As compared with optimized conventional processing, in Colorstar machines equipped with this system considerable amounts of water and heating energy are saved and the amount of waste water appreciably reduced. In this artic...

Benefits are presented for primary teeth from a schoolbased weekly ~]uoride rinsing program using a neutral 0.2 pereen t NaF solution in a fluoride-deficien t community. Children in grades three and four at the time of the last dental examination rinsed an average of 77 times during three school years. Rinsing was done under the supervision of classroom teachers. Compared with baseline caries s...

C4d deposition in peritubular capillaries is a specific marker for the presence of antidonor antibodies in renal transplant recipients and is usually associated with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in conventional allografts. In ABO-incompatible grafts, however, peritubular capillary C4d is often present on protocol biopsies lacking histologic features of AMR; the significance of C4d in this ...

This study investigated the effect of rinsing alginate impressions using acidic electrolyzed water on the dimensional change and deformation of stone models. Two brands of alginate impression materials were used. The impressions were rinsed using tap water or acidic electrolyzed water with a pH of 2.3, an oxidation-reduction potential of 1,230 mV, and a residual chlorine concentration of 45.0 p...

PURPOSE 1) To evaluate the effects on the conjunctival flora of gentamicin ophthalmic eye drops 0.3%, given four times in 45 minutes, and a conjunctival rinse with 10 ml chlorhexidine 0.05% solution. 2) To investigate retrospectively the rate of endophthalmitis after cataract operations when these antimicrobials were applied preoperatively. METHODS Seventy-six patients undergoing standard pha...
