“…The evolution of techniques, new technologies, and materials used in orthodontics reflects a continuous quest to optimize treatment efficacy, patient comfort, and biocompatibility. Shellac, a natural resin secreted by the female lac bug on trees in the forests of India and Thailand, exemplifies this progression [1]. Historically, shellac found early dental applications in the 19th century, particularly within prosthodontics for denture bases, prized for its ease of manipulation and acceptable aesthetics [2].…”

Background: This review examines the application of shellac in orthodontics, focusing on its properties, advantages, and potential as an alternative to conventional materials. In orthodontics, where bond strength, ease of application, and removal are paramount, shellac’s capabilities meet these needs while supporting environmentally friendly practices. Methods: With objectives centered on evaluating shellac’s effectiveness, biocompatibility, and impact on patient outcomes, a comprehensive search across multiple databases was conducted, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. This study’s selection criteria targeted studies assessing shellac’s use in orthodontic applications, measuring treatment effectiveness, biocompatibility, and patient satisfaction while excluding those not directly involving orthodontic applications or lacking empirical data. Results: Through a qualitative synthesis of the extracted data—encompassing study design, sample size, treatment outcomes, and adverse effects—the findings reveal shellac’s potential benefits in orthodontics, such as enhanced patient comfort and comparable treatment outcomes to traditional materials. However, the review also notes variability in study designs and outcomes, indicating the need for further research. Conclusions: This study concluded that shellac presents a promising alternative in orthodontic materials, recommending additional studies to standardize assessment methodologies and confirm its long-term advantages.

“…The definitions of the FAO cover data on the resource of wood processing residues by differentiating in two assortments: (1) wood chips and particles and (2) wood residues [17]. Wood industrial residue includes those materials derived from a manufacturing process, those derived from a logging process, and those that are reused or recycled from a harvest and manufacturing process, those derived from a logging process, and those that are reused or recycled [17][18][19].…”

Pellets have become an important renewable energy source. Aiming to contribute for diversifying the Brazilian energy matrix, the goals of this work were to evaluate the quality of the pellets of lignocellulosic residues (Eucalyptus and corn) produced with the addition of different percentages of Kraft lignin. For the production of pellets, mixtures of wood with bark of a Eucalyptus urophylla and Eucalyptus grandis, and corn residue were used as raw material. The proportions of corn residue in the mixture were 0, 20, 25, and 30% (w/w). Except for the control (0% lignin), 2 and 5% (w/w) Kraft lignin were added to a dry mass of raw material in the 4 different mixtures. Pellets were produced in a laboratory press pelletizer with horizontal circular array. The following properties of the pellets were evaluated: proximate analysis, high heating value (HHV), elementary analysis, energy density, bulk density, diameter and length, hardness, mechanical durability, and fine content. The pellets were classified according to European marketing standards. The addition of Kraft lignin to eucalyptus and corn residue pellets contributed to improving the physical and mechanical pellet properties, as regards the bulk density, mechanical durability, and fine content, allowing the transportation of a greater amount of mass and energy, besides maintaining the integrity of the biofuels during handling and use. The mixing of eucalyptus with corn residue is an effective way to optimize properties of biomass solid fuel. The treatment with higher corn addition, in relation mechanical properties, showed a better performance in accordance with the European standards. The mechanical properties were above to 97.5%, besides that has no impact from the addition of Kraft lignin. The addition of up to 20% of corn residue has the potential to improve physical and mechanical pellet quality, with or without Kraft lignin addition. Thus, similar amounts to that of the treatment with the proportion of 80% eucalyptus and 20% corn residue can be a viable alternative to the production of pellets.
