The effects of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics and biofilm formation

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess the impact of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics (surface roughness and wettability) and biofilm formation (viability and mass). Materials and Methods Titanium discs were obtained from pre‐milled abutment blanks made of titanium‐6aluminum‐7niobium alloy.

Effect of denture cleansers and surface treatments on the color stability, gloss, and wettability of CAD‐CAM denture bases

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the impact of surface treatments and chemical denture cleansers on the surface color stability, gloss, and wettability of compression‐molded, 3D‐printed, and milled denture base materials. Materials and Methods Specimens (12 × 16 × 7 mm) were fabricated from a standardized STL file in three denture base materials ...

A simple levitated-drop tensiometer [PDF]

, 2019
A reliable, simple, and affordable liquid tensiometer is presented in this paper. The instrument consists of 72 ultrasonic transmitters in a tractor beam configuration that levitates small liquid samples (droplets) in air. Under operation, the instrument

A case study in tensiometer interpretation: Centrifuge modelling of unsaturated slope behaviour

, 2006
Progress made over the past decade on the direct measurement of suction has clarified the design requirements of high capacity tensiometers and the procedures surrounding the rather difficult process of tensiometer saturation.

Microbial Strategies for the Degradation of Spent Lubricating Oil: A Comparative Study of Isolate Bacterium and Consortium Cultures

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This show the biodegradation of spent lubricating oil by Bacillus sp. and a marine bacterial consortium. The consortium showed higher growth, biosurfactant production and oil removal efficiency than the isolated strain, highlighting its potential for bioremediation ABSTRACT Spent automotive lubricating oil contains complex hydrocarbons and heavy metals,
