High‐Concentration Hydrogen Peroxide Gels Containing Calcium Polyphosphate Associated With Violet Led Light: Bleaching Efficacy and Effects on Enamel Properties

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effect of violet LED light (VL) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) in‐office bleaching gels supplemented with calcium polyphosphate (CaPP) or calcium gluconate (GU): Materials and Methods Bovine enamel blocks (n = 10) were randomly assigned: commercial HP gel, commercial HP gel with GU, or experimental 35% HP with or without

Influence of Airborne‐Particle Abrasion and Thermal Cycling on Enamel Bond Strength and Roughness of Lithium Disilicate Treated With a Self‐Etching Ceramic Primer

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This in vitro study investigated the effect of a self‐etching ceramic primer (Monobond Etch & Prime [MEP]), with or without aluminum oxide airborne‐particle abrasion, on the surface roughness, and microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of lithium disilicate bonded to enamel, compared with the conventional hydrofluoric acid plus silane (HF

Experiences and Perspectives of Perinatal Care for Women of Refugee Background, Interpreters, and Care Providers: A Scoping Review

Journal of Midwifery &Women's Health, EarlyView.
Introduction Women of refugee backgrounds who are pregnant continue to face significant challenges after migration, including barriers to accessing adequate perinatal care, resulting in higher risks for poor perinatal outcomes. To address these barriers and reduce these risks, it is imperative to understand the viewpoints of those involved in perinatal

Effectiveness of self‐etching ceramic primer on the bond strength of dental glass ceramics: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of in vitro studies on feldspathic and leucite‐reinforced ceramics

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the bond strength effectiveness of a self‐etching ceramic primer, specifically Monobond Etch & Prime (MEP), compared to hydrofluoric acid with silane (HF+S) in feldspathic and leucite‐reinforced dental glass‐ceramics (DGCs). Materials and Methods This study followed PRISMA‐p guidelines

Apoptosis kinetics of purified and PBMC‐associated lymphocytes after photopheresis‐like 8‐methoxypsolaren/UVA treatment

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) induces apoptosis in circulating immune cells, but its kinetics vary slightly depending on the cell type. We compared the progression of apoptosis in PBMCs versus highly purified T cells exposed to 8‐methoxypsoralen and ultraviolet A.

Limit elastic speeds of functionally graded annular disks [PDF]

FME Transactions, 2018
Based on Variational principle, the limit elastic angular speed of rotating disk made of functionally graded material is reported. Assuming a series approximation following Galerkin's principle, the solution of the governing equation is obtained based ...
