Evaluation of Color Stability of a Composite Resin Using Different Instrument Lubricants After One Month of Water Storage [PDF]
Journal of Kerman University of Medical SciencesBackground: Clinicians use several lubricants to reduce composite sticking to instruments and facilitate composite modeling. This study evaluated the effect of instrument lubricants on the color stability of a resin composite after one month of water ...

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
