The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of staining solutions by spectrophotometric method on color stability of the commercially available acrylic denture base resins polymerized by different methods of cure, materials, and immersion periods. Commercially available heat cure resin (Travelon) and self cure resin (RR repair material) were selected for the study. In ca...

background: a few studies have investigated the effect of the activation mode of adhesive systems on bond strength of fi ber posts to root canal dentin. this study investigated the push-out bond strengths of a glass fi ber post to different root canal regions with the use of two adhesives with light- and dual-cure polymerization modes. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 40 maxillary...

introduction: in orthodontic therapy ,different materials are used and their presence in oral cavity may modify their properties. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct and indirect biocompatibility of three orthodontic composite resins on culture of human oral fibroblasts. methods: this was an interventional experimental study. the biocompatibility of three orthodontic composite ...

Within the past decade, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have emerged as a viable mechanism to enhance novices' development of scientific reasoning and process skills in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. Recent evidence within the bioeducation literature suggests that student engagement in such experiences not only increases their apprecia...
