Introduction: Due to undeniable effect of surface treatment on restoration bond strength, this study was conducted to measure and compare the shear bond strength of hybrid ionomer and compomer using the three different methods of surface conditioning. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 72 samples were prepared from hybrid ionomer (Vitremer-3M) and compomer (Compoglass-Vivadent) re...

the purpose of this study was to compare shear bond strength (sbs) of orthodontic brackets bonded to enamel prepared by er:yag laser with two different powers and conventional acid-etching.forty-five human premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes were randomly assigned to three groups based on conditioning method: group 1- conventional etching with 37% phosphoric acid; group 2- irradiation ...

The dependence on ionic strength of protonation of L-aspartic acid and its complexation withdioxouranium(VI) is reported in sodium perchlorate solution as a background salt. The measurementshave been performed at 25 ± 0.1 °C and various ionic strengths in the range 0.1 to 1.0 mol dm-3, using acombination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. The overall analysis of the present an...

In this work, we studied the effect of carboxylic acid on the rheological properties of a high-alumina cement mortar (CH45) produced by the Algerian firm REFRACTAL.The investigated properties are setting time, water consumption, electrical conductivity, pH, density and the compressive strength. The results show a setting time of about 200 min for the acid...

introduction :the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the in vitro effect of the erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser with different radiation distances and high-speed rotary treatment on the shear bond strength of flowable composite to enamel of human permanent posterior teeth . methods : freshly extracted human molar teeth with no caries or other surface defects were ...

Crushed stone bases are widely used for low-volume roads. However, shear strength of the crushed stone materials can be vastly improved by confining the material in geocellular confinement systems or geocells. Geocells are 3-dimensional honeycomb-like structures. The objective of this study was to test a geocell design with crushed stone (AB-3) in-fill and a thin hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surface l...
