The aim of this study was to evaluate the time elapsed bond strength of the CAD/CAM resin block (CRB) to bovine dentin after alumina blasting. CRB (KATANA AVENCIA BLOCK) slices were ground with #600-SiC paper and divided into three groups according to alumina blasting pressure-0.1 MPa, 0.2 MPa or untreated-and then divided into two subgroups according to the time elapsed after alumina blasting-same-day or one-week "dry-storage" at controlled laboratory conditions before cementation. The CRB slices were then cemented to bovine dentin with Panavia V5 (Kuraray Noritake Dental), and divided into two subgroups-light curing or chemical curing. After 24 h storage in distilled water at 37°C, the specimens were then subjected to micro-tensile bond strength (µTBS) testing. One-week group showed a significant decrease in µTBS. The µTBS values showed that CRBs must be cemented with light curing immediately after alumina blasting at 0.1 or 0.2 MPa to obtain a stable adhesion.
Although the early deterioration of concrete exposed to petroleum products has being observed yet, the behavior of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) being exposure to oil products is still unknown. In the present investigation, the mechanical and physical properties of hardened SCC cyclically being exposed to oil products (crude oil, gas oil, motor oil and fuel oil) have tested and discussed. The numbers of exposure cycles are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Each exposure cycle consists of twenty days immersion in water or different oil products followed by air drying at ambient temperature for a period of ten days. The results have been compared to other specimens cured in water or continuously exposed to oil products for the same period. The results show that the effect of continuous exposure to oil products on the mechanical properties is more severe than that of cyclic exposure of SCC specimens. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture, and static modulus of elasticity of SCC specimens have slightly deteriorated until the fifth cycle of exposure for all types of oil products comparing to reference specimens (cured in water). Eventually at the sixth cycle all properties have decreased.
