The aim of this study was to assess the acceptability and effectiveness of ART restorations placed without tooth surface conditioning on occlusal caries in the permanent dentition in a primary oral health care centre in Nigeria. A total of 93 ART restorations were placed without tooth conditioning in children and adolescents aged 13.1 (±3.0) years by a dentist trained in the ART approach. This ...

Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate adhesion ability of resin-modified glass ionomer adhesive (Vitrebond) to ethanol-saturated dentin following two different surface conditioning regimes in term of microtensile bond

The initial deposition of bacteria in most aquatic systems is affected by the presence of a conditioning film adsorbed at the liquid-solid interface. Due to the inherent complexity of such films, their impact on bacterial deposition remains poorly defined. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the effect of a conditioning film on the deposition of motile and nonmotile Pseu...

The aim of the study was to compare the behavior of seeded cells on synthetic and natural aortic valve scaffolds during a low-flow conditioning period. Polyurethane (group A) and aortic homograft valves (group B) were consecutively seeded with human fibroblasts (FB), and endothelial cells (EC) using a rotating seeding device. Each seeding procedure was followed by an exposure to low pulsatile f...

The use of resin-based composite materials in operative dentistry is increasing, including applications in stress-bearing areas. However, composite restorations, in common with all restorations, suffer from deterioration and degradation in clinical service. Durable repair alternatives by layering a new composite onto such failed composite restorations, will eliminate unnecessary loss of tooth t...

in this study, effect early age feed restriction and thermal conditioning on growth ,carcass characteristics broiler chickens subjected to heat stress was evaluated. three hundred chicks (cobb500) were randomly divided into four equal groups as treatments including thermal conditioning group (tc), feed restriction-thermal conditioning group (tcfr), feed restriction group (fr) and control group ...

effects of intra-central amygdala administration of l-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, and ng-nitro-l-arginine methyl-ester (l name), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, on the morphine-induced sensitization and also on the expression of morphine-induced place conditioning in rats were studied. subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of morphine (2.5, 5 and 7.5 mg/kg) induced place conditioning. r...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of computer aided design/computer aided machined ceramic (CAD/CAM), pressable ceramic, and milled metal implant copings on abutment and the effect of surface conditioning on bonding strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 test samples were fabricated on three titanium abutments. Among 90 test samples, 30 cop...

this review based upon studies searched from the major scientific libraries has the objective of clarifying what is fitness training in modern days, the implications that it has on health in both youth and elderly and finally discuss fitness training practical implications.the prisma statement was partially adopted and a number of 92 items were selected, according to the inclusion criteria. res...
