Influence of prefabricated post material on restored teeth: fracture strength and stress distribution.
2006
This work studied how prefabricated intraradicular post material affects the mechanical performance of restored teeth. The effect of using two different materials (glass fiber and stainless steel) with significantly different elastic moduli was studied.A combined theoretical and experimental method was used: first, an experimental fracture strength test was performed on 60 extracted human maxillary central incisors. The teeth were decoronated, treated endodontically and restored, 30 with glass fiber posts and 30 with stainless steel posts. The data were recorded and the results compared using an ANOVA test. Then, the finite element technique was used to develop a model of the restored tooth…
Influence of prefabricated post dimensions on restored maxillary central incisors
2007
summary The aim of this study was to test the following hypothesis: biomechanical performance (fracture strength and stress distribution) of restored teeth is less sensitive to post diameter and post length when using glass fibre posts than when using stainless steel posts. First, an experimental fracture strength test was performed on 80 extracted human maxillary central incisors. Teeth were decoronated, treated endodontically and restored (40 with glass fibre posts and 40 with stainless steel posts), and the length and diameter of the posts varied uniformly. Failure loads were recorded and results were compared using an ancova analysis. Secondly, the finite element technique was used to …
Premolars restored with posts of different materials: fatigue analysis
2011
Previous works studied the effect of the material and the dimensions of the post on the biomechanical performance (fracture strength and stress distribution) of restored teeth, under static loads. The aim of this work was to study the effect of the post material (glass fibre and stainless steel) on restored teeth, which have the final crown, under dynamic conditions. The use of a biomechanical model, including a fatigue analysis from FEA, is presented as a powerful method to study the effect of the material of the intraradicular post. The inclusion of the fatigue analysis allows for a more realistic study that takes into account the dynamic nature of masticatory forces. At the same time, th…
Influence of material and diameter of pre-fabricated posts on maxillary central incisors restored with crown.
2009
Summary Numerous research works have studied the effect of post-design parameters on the mechanical behaviour of restored teeth without reaching any clear conclusions. Previous works by the authors ascertained the effect of material and post-dimensions for non-crowned restored teeth. The aim of this work was to study the effect of post-material and diameter for crowned teeth. First, an experimental fracture strength test was performed on eighteen extracted human maxillary central incisors. Teeth were decoronated, treated endodontically and restored (nine with glass fibre posts and nine with stainless steel posts). Several post-diameters were used. The final crown restoration was carried ou…
Multiple Roles of Isocyanides in Palladium-Catalyzed Imidoylative Couplings: A Mechanistic Study
2016
International audience; Kinetic, spectroscopic and computational studies examining a palladium-catalyzed imidoylative coupling highlight the dual role of isocyanides as both substrates and ligands for this class of transformations. The synthesis of secondary amides from aryl halides and water is presented as a case study. The kinetics of the oxidative addition of ArI with RNC-ligated Pd-0 species have been studied and the resulting imidoyl complex [(ArC=NR)Pd(CNR)(2)I] (Ar=4-F-C6H4, R = tBu) has been isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The unprecedented ability of this RNC-ligated imidoyl-Pd complex to undergo reductive elimination at room temperature to give the amide in the p…
Rehabilitation of the severely atrophied dentoalveolar ridge in the aesthetic region with corticocancellous grafts from the iliac crest and dental im…
2016
Background The aim of this study was to assess changes in bone volume after block bone augmentation and placement of dental implants and further evaluate the aesthetic outcome of the treatment. Material and Methods 9 Patients with atrophied anterior maxilla were included in this study. They received total of 21 implants. Dimensions of the alveolar ridge were measured from cone-beam computed tomography x-rays. The bone level at the implant sites was analysed from intraoral x-rays and the aesthetic outcome was assessed from clinical photographs using a pink aesthetic score (PES) scaling. Results The mean gained horizontal bone width at the marginal crest and 5 mm apically was accordingly 2.7m…
Fine slicing of the value chain and offshoring of essential activities: empirical evidence from European multinationals
2014
The offshoring of more advanced activities is increasing and a debate about the limits of offshoring has emerged. Companies are fine-slicing their value chains, and moving beyond the offshoring of peripheral and non-core activities to the offshoring of advanced and essential activities that are closer to their core (e.g. research, design and product development). The challenge is to understand the limits of offshoring and the most appropriate modes of offshoring. The purpose of this paper is to analyze what activities are offshorable and how best to govern offshored activities. We argue that companies are redefining their core activities and in this process, some essential activities previo…
El proceso actual de la situación de los derechos humanos en Corea del Norte a partir de los años 90
2023
Esta tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo analizar el origen sobre el entendimiento de los derechos humanos de la República Democrática Popular de Corea cuyo interés de esta temática se despertó en la década de los noventa con la muerte de Kim Il-Sung y la posterior crisis alimentaria que se convirtió en una fatalidad a nivel estatal provocando la deserción masiva de sus ciudadanos a terceros países, fundamentalmente pasando por la República Popular de China. A raíz de la indagación sobre el tema de Corea del Norte se puede ver qué conclusiones hay sobre los diversos aspectos de derechos humanos cuyos documentos relacionados con la infracción sistemática practicada por el régimen norcoreano h…
Tectonometamorphic evolution of high-pressure rocks from the island of Amorgos (Central Aegean, Greece)
2007
Structural and metamorphic data from the island of Amorgos (central Aegean Sea) show evidence for the existence of two distinct high-pressure units, the Metabasite Unit and the Basal Conglomerate Unit. These are exposed at the base of a thick marble sequence and overlying flysch deposits. The Metabasite Unit is characterized by a mineral assemblage of blue amphibole, garnet and clinopyroxene, indicating P – T conditions of 500–600 °C and >13 kbar. It is juxtaposed below carpholite-bearing metaconglomerates and quartz-rich micaschists of the Basal Conglomerate Unit, for which metamorphic conditions of 300–450 °C and 10–14 kbar are estimated. The contact between the two units is interpreted a…
Preparation of Hg2+ selective fluorescent chemosensors based on surface modified core–shell aluminosilicate nanoparticles
2010
A synthetic procedure for the preparation of functional structured inorganic–organic hybrid materials consisting of boehmite-silica core–shell nanoparticles and anthracene-containing amines covalently attached to the nanoparticles surface is reported. The system functionalised with the monoamine chain shows a very high sensing performance for Hg2+ detection in pure water reaching a detection limit of 0.2 ppb. Two additional advantages of these systems are their stability over a wide pH window and the feasibility to be recovered by a simple procedure.
