Orthodontic bracket bond strength and resin composite adhesive degree of conversion associated with type of curing unit and total energy
(2013)
type. Based on an analysis of variance (α=.05), there was no significant effect of type of curing source on shear bond strength; however, there was a significant effect of total energy, with shear bond strength encreasing as energy increased across...
Effect of Delayed Polymerization Time and Bracket Manipulation on Orthodontic Bracket Bonding
(2014)
This study examined the effect of bracket manipulation in combination with delayed polymerization times on orthodontic bracket shear bond strength and degree of resin composite conversion. Orthodontics brackets were bonded ...

(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
This investigation surveyed general dentists from Kansas and Missouri to identify
factors which may impact how likely they are to refer to periodontists. The web-based
survey probed areas of clinician demographics, ...
Effect of Radiotherapy on Nano-Mechanical Properties and Chemical Composition of Tooth Enamel and Dentin
(2015)
The purpose of this study was to understand radiotherapy-induced dental lesions characterized by enamel delamination near the dentin-enamel junction (DEJ) by evaluating enamel and dentin nano-mechanical properties and ...
Characterization of the Organic Matrix of Mature Human Tooth Enamel: Structure, Macromolecular Composition and Effect of Radiotherapy
(2014-09-30)
Mature human tooth enamel contains a small amount of organic matrix locally concentrated within its innermost region, which is tougher and more crack resistant than the outer bulk phase. Although the enamel organic matrix ...
