Influence of simplified, higher-concentrated sodium ascorbate application protocols on bond strength of bleached enamel
2019
Background Bleaching procedures performed before restorative procedures, due to the oxygen released, affects the quality of bonding restorations. The application of an lower-concentrated antioxidant for one-hour or more can reversal the compromised bonding to bleached enamel, but it was not effective according to the bleaching concentrations applied. The aim of the present study was to evaluate simplified protocol of higher-concentrated sodium ascorbate (35%SA) in bond strength values of enamel bleached with 10%, 16%, 22% carbamide peroxide (CP) or 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP). Material and Methods Three hundred and forty enamel surfaces of 85 human third molars were used, divided into 17 gro…
Bond strength and elemental analysis of oxidized dentin bonded to resin modified glass ionomer based restorative material
2019
Background This study aimed to investigate the influence of hesperidin application on the bonding of resin-modified glass ionomer-based restorative material to dentin treated with oxygen-induced endodontic irrigants. Material and Methods One hundred human permanent molars were categorized into five groups (n= 20/group), treated with various irrigants as follows: Group C; distilled water (control group), Group SH; 5.25% NaOCl, Group SH+H; 5.25% NaOCl + 5 % hesperidin, Group HP; 10% H2O2, Group HP+H; 10% H2O2 + 5 % hesperidin. Specimens were bonded with RMGI based restorative material. For each group, half of the specimens were evaluated for µSBS by a universal testing machine and the other h…
Assessment of shear bond strength and microleakage of fissure sealant following enamel deproteinization : an in vitro study
2020
Background To evaluate the effect of two different deproteinizing agents (5.25% sodium hypochlorite and Papacarie®) prior to acid etching on the shear bond strength and microleakage of a fissure sealant material. Material and methods A total of 123 extracted noncarious human third molar teeth were randomly divided into three groups for each test: acid etching alone (control) (C), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and Papacarie Duo® (PC). The shear bond strength tests were performed using a universal testing machine, and microleakage was evaluated using a dye penetration method. Results The mean shear bond strength values obtained in Group C were significantly lower than those of Group NaOCl and …
Influence of the volume of restorative material on the concentration of stresses in the restorative interface.
2020
Background To evaluate the microtensile strength in the adhesive interface depending on the volume of the composite resin used to restore class I cavities. Material and Methods Forty-eight human third molars received a standardized class I cavity preparation and they were separated into six experimental groups: G1 - single-bottle adhesive system; G2 - bonding system with load; G3 - single-bottle adhesive associated with low-viscosity composite resin; G4 - loaded adhesive associated with low-viscosity composite; G5 - resin-modified glass ionomer associated with single-bottle adhesive; and G6 - resin-modified glass ionomer associated with loaded adhesive. All cavities were restored with a uni…
Durability of solvent-free one-step self-etch adhesive under simulated intrapulpal pressure
2015
Background: There are different solvents presented in simplified adhesives. Bond-1 SF has been developed, which contains neither water nor organic solvents, in order to eliminate technical issues in terms of evaporation of solvents and concerns for the durability of resin-dentin bond. Thus this study was conducted to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of solvent-free and ethanol-based one-step self-etch adhesives to dentin under simulated intrapulpal pressure (IPP). Material and Methods: Occlusal surfaces of human molars were prepared to expose mid-dentin depth. Bond-1SF Solvent-Free SE [SF] and Adper TM easy one [AE] adhesives were applied on dentin specimens. Resin composite b…
The effect of bacterial cellulose nanocrystals on the shear bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer cement to dentin
2020
Background The present study aimed to investigate the effect of bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNC) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) to dentin. Material and Methods A total of 48 freshly extracted intact third molars were randomly divided into four main groups with three different concentrations (0.3%, 0.5% and 1% wt) of BCNC with RMGIC and control group without BCNC. These specimens were kept in distilled water at 37° C for 24h. Shear bond strength was examined, using the universal testing machine. Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn`s post-hoc test were applied for analysis of data. P<0.05 was considered as the level of significance. Results The…
The Many Faces of a Translation
2000
First-order translations have recently been characterized as the maps computed by aperiodic single-valued nondeterministic finite transducers (NFTs). It is shown here that this characterization lifts to "V-translations" and "V-single-valued-NFTs", where V is an arbitrary monoid pseudovariety. More strikingly, 2-way V-machines are introduced, and the following three models are shown exactly equivalent to Eilenberg's classical notion of a bimachine when V is a group variety or when V is the variety of aperiodic monoids: V-translations, V-single-valued-NFTs and 2-way V-transducers.
Molecular Phylogeny of Eumetazoa: Genes in Sponges (Porifera) Give Evidence for Monophyly of Animals
1998
At present, the universal phylogenetic tree exhibits a tripartite division of the living world and includes Bacteria (“eubacterial”), Archaea (“archebacterial”), and Eucarya (“eukaryotic”) branches (Woese et al. 1991) with the Progenote as the common ancestor (Woese 1987). It is difficult to assess the timely appearance of the first living organism. Some first decipherable evidence of early life has apparently been identified in Swaziland (South Africa) and Pilbara Supergroup (Western Australia) sediments, and dates back 3550 to 3000 Ma (million years) ago; these are stromatolites (see Walter 1996), microfossils, and particulate organic matter (reviewed in Schopf 1994). Eucarya are roughly …
Nationalism and Power behind the Communitarian Premises: a Critique from Habermas’ Cosmopolitanism
2016
In order to endorse political cosmopolitanism we will undertake a critical analysis of the main four premises that support communitarianism: the ontological one, the instrumental one, the ethical one, and the moral-psychological one (1). Then, we warn that communitarianism usually serves as support for nationalist theoretical proposals that just care about the socio-economic interests of their own countries (2). In response to communitarianism, we offer some answers from a cosmopolitan moral approach. However, we conclude that this approach is also insufficient (3). In conclusion, we argue that only a legal and political cosmopolitanism could honor moral universalism (4). Normal 0 21 false …
Metadata-Oriented Language Model in Translingual Retrieval of Digital Data
2015
Translingual retrieval relies on processing a source language to retrieve digital document content in a target language. From the perspective of successful browsing digital catalogues, probability of retrieving the full text document in a language other than the query language is close to zero owning to the fact that it is not only the library collection, but especially a problem of matching the index terms with the query keywords which are assumed to be their translation equivalents. In addition, hardly any digital library system is incorporated with a translation component. As a result, such a matching is rather coincidental. Our approach to the translingual document retrieval problem is …
