Background Dental impressions are used to record anatomy of teeth and surrounding oral structures. Impression materials become contaminated with saliva blood requiring disinfection, which may have negative impact on dimensional stability materials. Objective Comparatively evaluate linear changes synthesized Tetra-functional (dimethylsilyl) orthosilicate (TFDMOS) containing Polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) following sodium hypochlorite disinfection. Methods Percentage three commercial PVS (Elite HD...
This study aimed to determine the frequency of middle mesial canal in mandibular first molars and its association with various anatomical features. Two experienced endodontists evaluated 149 CBCT images, containing n = 298 second molars. Binary logistic regression was used explore relationship between presence other independent variables. The found 7.7% (n 23) 11.4% which exhibited adjacent C-shaped an molar associated a 3 times increased likelihood finding (P 0.048, OR: 3.108) is uncommon...
This study aims to compare the hardness, sorption and solubility of commercially available tissue conditioner [TC] modified with chitosan [CS] synthesized oligosaccharide [COS] in antifungal concentration. COS was by acid hydrolysis characterized FTIR XRD. Experimental materials were formulated incorporating each per gram TC powder effective concentration 1.02 mg (Group 1: TC-CS) 0.51 2: TC-COS). A used as control 0: CTC). Shore hardness test performed according ASTM D 2240-05 (2010)...
