The goal study is benchmarking flexural strength FS of compressive strength CS, compression diametrical DTS (diametrically tensile strenght) and Vickers hardness for two nanocomposites experimental AD1 and AD3 achieved within the Research Institute in Chemistry Raluca Ripan Cluj Napoca and for the commercial product of the Kerr Premise company �. Electron microscopy aspects pre- and post-fracturing are also shown to highlight the structure of materials and spread
The purpose of this study was: Structural characterization of two commercial nanocomposite materials (Premise /Kerr Corp and Tetric EvoCeram�/ Ivoclar-Vivadent); Evaluation of the marginal adaptation and adhesive interface achieved with two commercial adhesive systems (Optibond SoloPlus /Kerr Corp and G-Bond /GC). Investigation was done using electronic scanning microscopy (SEM).
A biomaterial must be biologically compatible, mechanical, functional, corrosion resistant and easily adapt to clinical and laboratory technologies. Dental biomaterials are materials used to replace a part of a living system or to work closely with living tissue. Many scientific articles present different polymeric biocomposites with possible application in dentistry and this is a proof of the opportunity of a research in a field in full ascent and with great availability in the promotion of materials destined to �work under biological constraint� and which must also meet the functional requirements of a dental implant. The objectives of this research were to obtain and to comparatively evaluate different polymeric microparticles that can be used in dentistry. The samples based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and respectively polyurethane microparticles were characterized by pH and Zetasizer measurements, and in vitro cytotoxicity assays. The results indicate the obtaining of particles with a neutral pH, medium homogeneity, and with different tendencies to form agglomerations. Their low cytotoxicity, tested on the primary human gingival fibroblasts by MTT and LDH techniques, indicates that these microparticles are safe to be tested in further clinical evaluations.
Health education is a key element in health promotion and requires strong planning based on theories of medical behavior. The study was conducted over a period of three years, January 2015 - December 2017, by means of an 11 items questionnaire anonymous applied to dentists or medical staff. Seven questions were multiple choice to allow a broader discussion of the results and the rest were one answer. The time of dental practitioners is limited, so their view of the duration of a possible dental health program is essential. Hours per week volunteered, vary from one doctor to another: from 1-3 hours or less to 3-5 hours or as needed. Assessing the willingness to engage (82%) and the time allocated to the dentists surveyed (44% between 1 and 3 hours per week and 51% over 3 hours per week), we can say that we have human resources for implementing an oral health project. The workforce in the field of oral health would like to be involved in such a program and believes that it could benefit from such a program and the construction of appropriate working mechanisms, especially designed for different regions, rural areas and diverse demographic of social categories.
At the beginning of the 90 s on the market of dental restoration materials appeared compomers, polyacid modified composite resins (PMC). The term compomer suggests a combination of glass-ionomer and composite technology. This has led to confusion about how it relates to dental structures. The properties and adhesion of compomers to dental structures suggest a closer connection with composites than with glass ionomers. They do not have direct chemical adhesion to any tooth structure it adheres similar to the composites through a separate binding agent. However, their proximity to composites does not make them substitutes of composites. Compomers are a versatile class of dental restorative biomaterials, whose clinical benefits are particularly useful in pediatric dentistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
