Biochemical and molecular characterization of human high molecular weight salivary mucin MGI and its protein complexes
(Boston University, 1997)Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins which are secreted by epithelial cells throughout the gastrointestinal, respiratory and urogenital tracts in human body and play a major role in the non-immune defense of ... -
In vivo study of biphasic bioactive glasses
(Boston University, 2005)Objectives: This study investigated the biphasic bioactive glass, which contained standard melt-derived bioactive glass (BG) and sol-gel glass (SG), by assessing the in vivo effects on bone formation, bone strength, material ... -
Multidimensional antimicrobial profiles of human salivary histatins
(Boston University, 1994)Histatins are a family of small cationic proteins in human salivary secretions, abundant in histidine residues. The recently reported sequence led to the investigation of functional relationships of these proteins. Among ... -
Mechanical properties of dental restorative materials
(Boston University, 2006)In our experiment we tested the mechanical properties for veneering restorative dental materials. 15 conventional veneering materials, which are prepared using powder-slurry technique, and used to veneer metal-, alumina-, ... -
The regulation of lysyl oxidase by bFGF and TGF-B1 in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 Cells
(Boston University, 1995)Lysyl oxidase catalyzes the enzymatic step that is limiting for collagen and elastin crosslinking. As a crosslinked collagenous extracellular matrix is required for bone formation, mineralization and structural integrity, ... -
The dissolution of calcium and silicon ions from mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and two modified versions of MTA in culture medium
(Boston University, 2006)The hypothesis of this study was that [Ca2+] and [Si4+] ions might dissolve from Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) which enhances hard tissue formation. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the dissolution of ... -
Effect of particle size on physical and chemical properties of experimental mineral trioxide aggregate
(Boston University, 2009)Mineral Trioxide Aggregate has gained popularity among clinicians, in respect to other endodontic materials, due to the superiority of its biological and physical properties. However, the main disadvantage of MTA is its ... -
Effect of ascorbic acid in a diet high in sucrose on the mandible of the young rat
(Boston University, 1981)The purpose of this study was to determine the effect(s) of a high sucrose (marginal in protein) diet, supplemented with ascorbic acid on the growth and development of tissues. The primar tissues examined were the mandible, ... -
Rebonding strength of orthodontic brackets
(Boston University, 1986)Clinicans have been advised to replace failing orthodontic brackets by repeating the original bonding procedure. However, the rebonding of a bracket to a resin-covered enamel may be different. The purpose of this study has ... -
Assessing the feasibility of improving resin adhesive performance by incorporating tetramethyl orthosilicates (TMOS)
(Boston University, 2002)Current dentin bonding formulations depend on the infusion of low viscosity monomers into demineralized dentin to form the so-called “hybrid layer". It has been suggested that hybrid layer durability can be improved by ...
