Clinical study on resin composite and glass ionomer materials in II class restorations in permanent teeth
2020
Background Glass ionomer cements (GIC) used for restoration of missing dental structures have high biocompatibility and remineralization potential. However, low mechanical resistance excludes their use for long-term restorations of extensive lesions, particularly on approximal surfaces in permanent dentition. GIC with increased viscosity have much better physical properties, which involves better bonding and wear resistance, so they can be considered as an alternative to composite resin materials. The aim of this study was to perform a clinical and radiological assessment of restorations in permanent teeth, made with an increased viscosity GIC - Equia Fil (Ivoclar Vivadent) with Equia Coat …
Pathogenesis of circulatory reactions triggered by nervous reflexes during the implantation of bone cements.
1983
Circulatory and respiratory reactions during the implantation of joint endoprostheses have been observed for years. The components of the bone cements used for anchoring (methyl methacrylate monomer) or the outpour of bone marrow substances from the affected bone marrow cavity are thought to be chiefly responsible for these effects. However, our previous investigations demonstrated unambiguously that reactions of this type can be attributed to direct nervous-reflex mechanisms triggered by the pressure rise in the medullary canal, and that, in addition, bone marrow embolism plays a part in serious circulatory incidents. The investigations on which the present paper is based have confirmed th…
Solidification of ion exchange resins saturated with Na+ ions: Comparison of matrices based on Portland and blast furnace slag cement
2017
International audience; Ion exchange resins (IERs) are widely used by the nuclear industry to decontaminate radioactive effluents. After use, they are usually stabilized and solidified by encapsulation in cementitious materials. However, for certain combinations of cement and resins, the solidified waste forms can exhibit strong expansion, possibly leading to cracking of the matrix. In this work, the behaviour of cationic resins in the Na$^+$ form is investigated in Portland cement (CEM I) or blast furnace slag cement (CEM III/C) pastes at early age in order to have a better understanding of the swelling process. The results show that during the hydration of the CEM I paste, the resins exhi…
In vitro investigation of the impact of remaining tooth structure on the tensile failure loads of overdenture copings
2019
Background The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the impact of the remaining tooth structure on the retention of overdenture cast metal copings. Material and Methods A freshly extracted intact mandibular human canine (length 25 mm) was selected and endodontically treated. An incisal reduction of 4 mm with no ferrule preparation was performed and a post space of 12 mm was created. By using polyvinyl siloxane duplication material and autopolymerizing polymethylmethacrylate resin, ten resin teeth analogs (control group) were obtained. A second set of ten resin teeth analogs (group 1) was created by preparing on the original natural tooth a 360o ferrule design of 1 mm in height and…
Fiber Post Removal: Comparative Study Using a New Post Concept
2009
Objectives: To evaluate the time required to remove endodontic posts made of quartz and glass fibers, and compare them to a new glass fiber post designed for easy removal on the basis of efficiency and tooth damages. Methods: 40 human single-rooted teeth were treated endodontically and randomly assigned to four fiber posts groups: 1) was restored with Premier#90 (Innotech); 2) with DT#2 Lightpost (Dentsply); 3) with Unicore#3 (Ultradent); 4) with a special, soft-cored “S” glass fiber post ER-Prosthetic#3 (Overfibers). An impression of the canal was taken prior post cementation. The posts were luted with Panavia F and adhesive (Kuraray). All the specimens were mounted in a dental simulation …
Gli spazi persi. Cementificazione e inquinamento delle aree agricole
2012
Gli spazi dell’agricoltura in Europa stanno subendo una lenta e inesorabile riduzione. Secondo le ultime relazioni dell’UE, a partire dal 1990 a oggi sono andati persi circa 1.000 km2 l’anno di suolo fertile. Il «consumo del suolo» ha effetti diretti e indiretti su molti aspetti non prettamente agricoli: modificazione e perdita della biodiversità, impoverimento del tessuto imprenditoriale, scomparsa di tradizioni culturali e manutentive, modificazione del paesaggio, alterazioni dell’assetto idrogeologico.
Immunohistochemical evaluation of matrix molecules associated with wound healing following treatment with an enamel matrix protein derivative in huma…
2003
Application of enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) onto a debrided and conditioned root surface has been shown to promote periodontal regeneration in animals and humans. However, until now there is virtually no information from humans describing the expression of different matrix molecules in the newly formed periodontal tissues following treatment with EMD. This study investigated immunohistochemically in humans the expression of matrix molecules associated with periodontal tissues reformed after treatment with EMD. Eight patients with intrabony defects were treated with EMD. Six months after surgery teeth together with some of their surrounding soft and hard tissues were removed, fixed…
Identification of binding peptides on calcium silicate hydrate: a novel view on cement additives.
2014
Cement is the most used industrial product in the world. Although the chemical composition of the material has stayed more or less the same since its discovery by the Romans around 2000 years ago, [ 1 ] the performance has been increased by chemical additives. Spectacular buildings like the Willis Tower in Chicago, Taipei 101 or lately the over 800 m high Burj Khalifa in Dubai were realizable thanks to the development of high performance building materials. [ 2 ] Not only for such prestige objects but also in daily building processes, the trend goes towards always higher buildings because of the continued urbanization which was identifi ed already in 1982 as one of the so-called “megatrends…
Controlled Synthesis of Multi-Arm Star Polyether-Polycarbonate Polyols Based on Propylene Oxide and CO2
2013
Multi-arm star copolymers based on a hyperbranched poly(propylene oxide) polyether-polyol (hbPPO) as a core and poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) arms are synthesized in two steps from propylene oxide (PO), a small amount of glycidol and CO2 . The PPC arms are prepared via carbon dioxide (CO2 )/PO copolymerization, using hbPPO as a multifunctional macroinitiator and the (R,R)-(salcy)CoOBzF5 catalyst. Star copolymers with 14 and 28 PPC arms, respectively, and controlled molecular weights in the range of 2700-8800 g mol(-1) are prepared (Mw /Mn = 1.23-1.61). Thermal analysis reveals lowered glass transition temperatures in the range of -8 to 10 °C for the PPC star polymers compared with linear …
