Objectives: To compare the effects of airborne-particle abrasion (APA) and tribochemical silica coating (TSC) surface treatment methods on the shear bond strength of zirconia ceramics systems, resin cements and tooth sur...

Abstract Residues of pharmaceuticals are gradually accumulating in surface water resources because of the disposal of wastewater effluent. For the present study, four surface water resources (rivers and streams) that rec...

Aims: Assessing the effect of different surface pretreatments, that is, sulfuric acid (SA), air-particle abrasion (APA), Er, Cr: YSGG laser, and nonthermal plasma (NTP)on the push-out bond strength (PBS) and surface roug...

Nanofilled composite resin is one of restorative materials with some weaknesses, such as changes of colour and surface roughness. These weaknesses are attributed to some factors, including frequent consumption some bever...

Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a leading cause of mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and the accurate classification of renal pathological subtypes is crucial for reducing mortality rates ...

Background and purpose: Bilateral breast or chest wall and regional nodal irradiation involves large treatment volumes adjacent to multiple critical organs. The feasibility and normal tissue sparing of proton arc therapy...

The growth and ordering of the anodic aluminum oxide layer depend strongly on the initial roughness of the substrate and consequently on the different pretreatment stages. The objective of this study was to select the b...

The detrimental effects of biofilms are a cause of great concern in medical, industrial and environmental areas. In this study, we proposed a novel eradication strategy consisting of the combined use of micropatterned su...

Objective: To develop an antimicrobial and anti-adherent thymol (TOH)-containing coating on titanium (Ti) by a bioinspired one-step biocompatible method. Methods: A nanolayer of adsorbed TOH (TOH-NL-Ti) was formed by an ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), pristine and subjected to treatments, are comparatively characterized from N2 and Kr (77 K) adsorption measurements. The CNTs are lab-synthesized by in situ chemical vapour depositio...

Background and purpose: Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can depict flap applicators of High-Dose-Rate (HDR) surface brachytherapy. Evaluating criteria for catheter ...

To address the challenges of membrane fouling, short service life, and unstable performance associated with PVDF membranes in wastewater treatment and reuse, this study proposes a multi-dimensional collaborative optimiza...

Rice protein isolates (RPI) are promising plant-protein sources but present low solubility and poor surface activity in neutral conditions. Improving these characteristics is a crucial challenge to capitalize on them. Th...

Artificial teeth elements are essential components of removable dentures. Inadequate cleaning can lead to the accumulation of microorganisms, which may cause denture stomatitis. Alkaline peroxide effervescent tablets are...

Waste shredder blades operate under abrasive contact and intermittent impacts from heterogeneous materials, making surface hardness a key property for maintaining cutting performance and reducing premature dulling. This ...

Slot bracket base is one important element to enable sliding movement of the archwire. Bracket reconditioning by means of burning changes the surface roughness of slot bracket base. The heat above 450 °C shows microstru...

Nanohybrid composite resin is well-known because of its good aesthetic properties. It has high water sorption, allowing various coloring substances such as papaya juice to penetrate. Papaya juice enzymes may also cause a...

The surface roughness of an implant material (titanium alloy) is an important factor in optimizing osseointegration. Various efforts have been made to optimize the roughness of implant materials, such as acid etching. Pr...

During the processing and production of semiconductors, a large amount of copper-containing desmear wastewater with strong chelating properties is generated. The effects of four different treatment processes, namely the ...

In a hydrothermal preparation of crystalline magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, the influence of the experimental parameters (initial molar ratio of ferrous/ferric ions, initial concentration of ferrous ions, and heating t...

Enterococcus faecalis adalah bakteri yang paling banyak terdapat pada infeksi saluran akar yang telah dirawat endodontik. Chlorhexidine mempunyai daya anti bakteri spektrum luas dan telah digunakan dalam endodontik seb...

Soft liners are recommended in denture stomatitis, yet they are prone to microorganism colonization. Modification of soft liners can be done by adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) because they induce photocatalytic production...

A method for the polymerization modification of nanoscale fumed silica by crosslinking a lignin layer adsorbed on a nanosilica surface under a gas dispersion medium is described. A mixture of phenol and formaldehyde in t...

The effects of post-deposition heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of boron nitride thin films deposited on 316L stainless steel substrates via radio frequency magnetron sputteringwere investig...
