White coat hypertension (WCHT) and white coat effect (WCE) are often thought to be of the same entity. They are in fact different conditions which carry distinctive definitions and prognostic significance. WCHT is diagnosed when office blood pressure (OBP) is ≥140/90 mmHg on at least 3 occasions, while the average daytime or 24-hour blood pressure is <135/85 mmHg. It is common with 15% prevalen...

Reinforcement corrosion causes destruction to the steel by a loss in cross section and rib height, which can affect bond between concrete. During repair of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete members, protective coating is usually applied cleaned corroded steel. There is, however, little information available on performance coatings. Furthermore, effect their thickness other parameters like r...

A systematic review was performed to compare the human dentin microtensile bond strength of universal adhesives with 10-MDP when used as total-etch and self-etch strategies. Literature search done on October 2019 without limitations language publication, in four databases: PubMed, Web Science, Scopus, EBSCO. Additional manual for grey literature articles: OpenGrey OpenThesis. Studies that evalu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of the resin-coat technique used in cavity preparation to protect dentin before impression taking and final cementation and its effect on the tensile bond strength of indirect restorations after thermal and load cycling. METHODS Occlusal enamel was removed from 25 third molars to expose flat dentin. Teeth were divided into 5 groups (n=5): G1, receiving no den...
