OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in dentinal permeability (i.e. hydraulic conductance) after prophylactic treatment performed using prophy-powders with air-polishing system or prophy-pastes applied on exposed middle dentine. The changes in dentine morphology were evaluate by SEM. STUDY DESIGN Several prophylactic pastes or air-polishing powders were tested in t...

Nanocrystalline titanium (iv) oxide paste has been deposited on Fluorine doped tin oxide glass substrate by the blade method. The deposited film was subjected to thermal treatment to obtain an electrode foe a photo-electrochemical cell. The electrode was sensitized with prophyrin dye which was a local dye extracted from carica papaya leaves. Avaspec 2.1 spectrophotometer was used to obtain the ...

Introduction Bacteria and their products play a primary etiological role in the initiation and perpetuation of pulpoperiapical pathosis. Intracanal medication is important for endodontic success as it eliminates microorganisms that persist after chemomechanical preparation. Aim To compare antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide powder, triple antibiotic paste, calcium hydroxide with 2% ch...

In fiber concretes, microcracks in the boundary area between the cement paste and the surface of aggregates or fibers are higher. Natural and artificial pozzolans can be used for reinforcing this area. In this research, the combination of glass fiber, zeolite, and nano silica particles were used in lightweight self-compacting concrete containing scoria. Fiber volume fractions between 0% to 1.5%...

Low-melting glass with an optimal composition should be developed for application to Cu electrodes in multilayered ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). This study evaluated the transition temperature, plating solution resistance, and wettability of melts on substrates low-melting a conventional compositions BaO, TiO2, ZnO, V2O5 added 46SiO2/27B2O3/27Na2O (mol%). Moreover, we produced electrode paste MLC...
