introduction : furcal perforations are one of the most challenging causes of endodontic failures. several materials including mta have been used for non surgical repair of these perforations. the aim of this study was to compare treatment outcome of furcal perforation treatment in primary molars using root mta and proroot mta. materials and methods: this in vitro study was conducted on 54 prima...

Trenchless technologies lie in the deposition, fixing or renovation of underground infrastructure with a little or even zero digging operations. Fixing operations are a special case of renovation, when the technical capacity of the pipelines is restored through sealing or local repairs. A sealing up operation lies in filling undug or leaking places with a sealing material or injecting liquid se...

To improve the effect of gas drainage, with aim overcoming problem air leakage conventional sealing materials, this study proposed concept drainage borehole active support and developed a new type material properties permeability, fluidity, expansibility, early strength compressive resistance through orthogonal tests. Using specially designed testing device, analyzed development law fracture un...

There were several materials used to seal different types of perforation defects. MTA is one of these restorative materials that is considered the most effective, biocompatible, non-toxic, and non-irritant; promote bone healing and cementum regeneration. The objective of this article was to review and summarize the sealing ability of MTA compared with the other materials used for sealing differ...

In this study cross section geometry and material of gasket in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells have been investigated to achieve optimized fuel cell in terms of energy efficiency. The role of gaskets in fuel cells is sealing of gas flow channels and preventing from combination of them. In a PEM stack, gasket with approved geometry that suffers more stress has better sealing. For this ...

introduction: endodontic treatment in pulpless immature teeth is challenging due to the lack of an apical stop. insertion of an apical plug is an alternative to conventional long-term apexification with calcium hydroxide. the aim of this study was to compare the apical microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement as apical plugs with three different...

Gas transport mechanisms that characterize the hermetic behavior of MEMS packages are fundamentally different depending upon which sealing materials are used in the packages. In metallic seals, gas transport occurs through a few nanoscale leak channels (gas conduction) that are produced randomly during the solder reflow process, while gas transport in polymeric seals occurs through the bulk mat...

A review of endodontic and periodontal aspects on the prognosis, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of accidental root perforations is presented. Successful treatment depends mainly on proper diagnosis and immediate sealing of the perforation to eliminate risk of infection. A classification of root perforations is presented in the review to assist the clinician in making a proper choice of tr...
