Adhesives have played and will continue to play an important role in the efficient utilization of wood resources. Early Egyptians used adhesives to attach rare veneers to wood furniture. Today, adhesives play a vital role in allowing almost all types and sizes of wood to be converted to functional products. For centuries, wood was bonded using biobased adhesives. In the 20th century, synthetic ...

Gastrointestinal perforation, anastomotic leak, stricture and fistula remain a therapeutic challenge because open surgical approaches have been associated with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and repeat recurrences. Various endoscopic technique using tissue adhesives, electrocautery, sclerosants, stenting, clipping and OTSC have been reported. Now we introduce these methods for management o...

As new orthodontic resin adhesives continue to be marketed, rapid and sensitive tests for examining their toxic effects at the ‘ cell and tissue level ’ are needed because patient safety has been identifi ed as a legal concept. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and degree of monomer conversion of orthodontic adhesives over different time periods. Seven adhesive...

INTRODUCTION  Fibrin tissue adhesive, which has applications in several areas of medicine, can be prepared by different methods. AIM  To compare fibrin tissue adhesives prepared by 3 different methods. METHOD  In this prospective experimental laboratory study, fibrin tissue adhesives prepared by the use of plasma fibrinogen (group 1), cryoprecipitation (group 2), and precipitation by ammoni...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to verify the hypothesis that no difference in biocompatibility exists between different orthodontic adhesives. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty male Wistar rats were used in this study and divided into five groups (n=6): Group 1 (control, distilled water), Group 2 (Concise), Group 3 (Xeno III), Group 4 (Transbond XT), and Group 5 (Transbond plus Se...

Soy-based adhesives have attracted much attention recently because they are environmentally safe, low cost, and readily available. To improve the gluability and water resistance of soy-based adhesives, we prepared an enzyme-treated soy-based adhesive modified with an epoxy resin. We investigated the wet shear strength of plywood bonded with the modified adhesive using the boiling-water test. Fo...
