A Comprehensive Review of Thermosensitive Hydrogels: Mechanism, Optimization Strategies, and Applications

Gels
Thermosensitive hydrogels undergo reversible sol-gel phase transitions in response to changes in temperature. Owing to their excellent biocompatibility, mild reaction conditions, and controllable gelation properties, these hydrogels represent a promising

Maternal Lead Exposure Induces Glandular Alterations in the Salivary Glands of Rat Male Offspring

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lead (Pb) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant that is highly noxious due to its toxicokinetic characteristics. Pb exposure can damage vital organ systems, including the central nervous and stomatognathic systems. As salivary glands play an important role in oral homeostasis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal ...

Fracture load and three‐dimensional internal void analysis of direct composites used to restore worn molars

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated (1) the load‐bearing capacity of molars restored with direct occlusal veneers fabricated either from short‐fiber‐reinforced composite (SFRC) or particulate‐filled composite (PFC) and the presence of internal voids within the materials, and (2) effect of water storage on the fracture load and correlation between internal ...
