The bactericidal activity of a general purpose disinfectant consisting of 25% sodium-o-phenylphenolate and 75% sodium-4- and 6-chloro-2-phenylphenolate was evaluated by a simulated in-use, surface-square dilution method. Common floor (asphalt, rubber, and unglazed tiles) and wall (stainless steel tile, ceramic tile, and painted wood) surfaces of various porosities and compositions were selected...

We propose a method for simulating glazed frost by computing heat transfers between water droplets and the surrounding air. Motions of air and water droplets are computed based on a FLIP (Fluid-Implicit-Particle)based fluid solver. Glazed frost is a crystal clear ice and formed from supercooled raindrops that freeze when they hit object surfaces. We propose a method to create an animation of gl...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different porcelain polishing techniques on the color change and surface roughness of feldspathic porcelains and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic system. 80 porcelain specimens were divided into two subgroups, each subgroup was divided into 4 groups of 10 specimens. Surfaces were polished with different ceramic polishers. VITA Easyshade spectr...

The inspiration and background research for this project is based upon Egyptian Faience because there is an interesting and coincidental synergy between the material properties of ancient Egyptian Faience and the material requirement for the successful 3D printing of ceramic powders. Originating in the 5th Millennium BC, Egyptian Faience was not made from clay, but instead composed of quartz an...

Background: This study sought to assess the effect of glazing and polishing surface treatments on the optical behavior of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics thermocycled in different solutions. Methods:Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing ceramics (VITA Suprinity) were cut into samples (n=104) measuring 1.5x14x10 mm according to t...

Bu çalışmada Amorium Kenti kazılarında tespit edilen ve toplamda 35 adet ağız kaide parçasından oluşan sırlı seramik buluntusu ele alınmıştır. Söz konusu buluntular, 2020-2021 yılları arasında kentin Yukarı Şehir bölümünde yer alan İç Sur alanında edilmiştir. çalışma ile buluntularının tanımlanması tarihlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. buluntuları, üretim teknikleri göz önünde bulundurularak tek ren...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of accelerated aging on surface properties of glazed CAD/CAM resin blocks using a 2D surface profilometer and a 3D non-contact optical profilometer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of CAD/CAM resin restorative materials, LAVA Ultimate (3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA), VITA Enamic (Vita Zahnfabrik H. Rauter, Bad Säckingen, Germany), and Cerasmart (GC Corparation,...
