Effect of dentifrice and toothbrushing on weight and color of castable ceramic in vitro
(Boston University, 1985)A new all-ceramic crown system called Dicor uses an external coloring technique to match the specific tooth shade. The thickness of the external coloring porcelain is 25-40 um. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ... -
The effectiveness of a rotary action powered electric toothbrush vs. a manual toothbrush on plaque control in orthodontic patients
(Boston University, 1991)The purpose of this study was to compare a rotary action powered electric toothbrush to a manual toothbrush in effectiveness on plaque control in orthodontic patients. Thirty patients were selected from orthodontic patients ... -
The effect of peer familiarity on the behavior of preschoolers during their introduction to the dental situation
(Boston University, 1974)This study is designed to scientifically evaluate in a controlled situation the effects of one child's behavior on another's behavior during dental treatment, it is not designed to show the dental practitioner how to better ... -
Effects of hydrolysis on physical properties of the low-fusing and heat-pressed ceramics
(Boston University, 1999)The purpose of this investigation was to study the resistance to acid degradation of four low-fusing ceramic materials (Duceram-LFC, Finesse, Vita Omega900, and Sensation), two heat-pressed ceramic materials (Cerpress SL ... -
In vitro effect of chemo-mechanical caries removal on bond-strength and microleakage of restorative materials in primary teeth
(Boston University, 1989)The objective of this in vitro study is to determine the bond strength and assess the microleakage of two posterior composites and a glass ionomer, after chemo-mechanical removal of caries with the Caridex system on primary teeth. -
Colorimetric and optical properties of new luting resin cements
(Boston University, 1995)All-ceramic crowns and laminated-veneer crowns have been used in clinical dentistry because these prostheses exhibit excellent esthetics. Their high translucency which is due to the lack of a metal frame, enables them to ... -
In vitro estrogenic activity of leachable components from dental sealants and composites
(Boston University, 1999)There has been some concern over the estrogenicity of monomers leached from dental composites and sealants. The aim of this study was to test the estrogenic activity of bisglycidyl dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA), bisphenol-A ... -
Fatigue of dental restorative materials
(Boston University, 2001)Statement of problem: Dental restorative materials are subject to premature clinical failure under repetitive and constant occlusal loads. Exposure to aqueous environment has been found to degrade the strength of dental ... -
The effect of eugenol and non-eugenol endodontic sealers on the retention of three pre-fabricated posts cemented with a resin composite cement
(Boston University, 1999)The effects of eugenol-containing endodontic sealer on the retention of posts cemented with resin cement are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retentive strengths of ParaPost XH dowels ... -
Bonding orthodontic brackets to porcelain : an in vitro assessment of the shear bond strength to feldspathic porcelain subjected to etching and/or to pretreatment with two silane coupling systems
(Boston University, 1991)Six groups of nine feldspathic porcelain buttons embedded in acrylic were randomly subjected to different surface regimens: no surface treatment, chemical treatment with two different silane systems, mechanical retention ...
