The osteogenic effect of mineral trioxide aggregate and modified-mineral trioxide aggregate on normal human osteoblast cells
(Boston University, 2005)Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), a relatively new material, has been widely used for root-end fillings, Pulp capping, perforation repairs and other endodontic procedures. Many studies have reported the biocompatibiIity ... -
Pulpal reactions to a glass-ionomer (chembound) in monkeys
(Boston University, 1979)The glass ionomer cement developed by Wilson and Kent (1971, 1972, 1973) and clinically applied by McLean and Wilson is an extension product resulting from the experiments done with silicates, composite resins, and ... -
In vitro evaluation of an air-abrasion cavity preparation system (KCP 2000) for bonded restorations
(Boston University, 1995)This study tested a new air-abrasive system (KCP 2000, American Dental Technologies, Troy, MI) as a substitute for acid etching to condition enamel and dentin surfaces for sealants and bonded composite restorations. Thirty ... -
Effect of formula, pressing technique, and location within the block on mechanical properties of dental zirconia
(Boston University, 2008)Statement of problem: Different chemical formulations, pressing techniques and sintering protocoIs have been applied to manufacture zirconia-based ceramic core materials. Little is known about the effect of each one of ... -
The thermo-mechanical properties of gutta-percha
(Boston University, 1976)Gutta-percha is the natural form of transpolyisoprene and exists in several crystalline states. It has been known to dentistry for about 125 years, gaining greater popularity with its use in the various endodontic ... -
Allergenicity of gutta-percha and the potential sensitization from latex products : (an animal study)
(Boston University, 2003)Introduced in dentistry more than 100 years ago, gutta-percha is the material of choice for root canal obturation, demonstrating minimal toxicity and tissue irritation. With the erupting incidences of latex allergies, there ... -
Chemical assay of present dental gutta percha and formulation of new compositions of dental gutta percha
(Boston University, 1979) -
In vitro elution of leachable components from dental sealants
(Boston University, 1997)Recent concerns have been raised about estrogenic chemicals, mainly bisphenol-A (BPA), being leached out of dental seaIants. The aim of this in vitro study was to identify and quantify BPA and other components released ... -
Effect of primer on the bond strength of resin cement to zirconium oxide ceramic
(Boston University, 2010)Statement of problem: Zirconium oxide (zirconia) ceramics have low surface energy and smooth intaglios, Which can create insufficient retention and prosthetic restoration loss. Newly introduced primers may enhance the ... -
Fabrication and analysis of a multiple-phase infused ceramic matrix
(Boston University, 2001)In-Ceram is an all-ceramic restorative material with improved resistance to crack propagation. Ceramics of various compositions are widely used as restorative materials in dentistry. In-Ceram has an alumina core that is ...
