Objective: To evaluate the shade-matching ability of single-shade resin-based composite restorations in different thicknesses using both instrumental and visual techniques.
Methods And Materials: Cavities with 4 mm diameter and 2 mm (n=96) or 3 mm (n=96) depth were prepared in acrylic incisor teeth of shades A2, A3, B3, and C2 and restored with three single-shade resin composites, Omnichroma (Tokuyama Dental America, Encinitas, CA, USA [OM]), Vittra APS Unique (FGM Dental Group, Joinville, SC, Brazil [VU]), Zenchroma (President Dental, Allershausen, Germany [ZC]), and a microhybrid resin composite (Filtek 3M Z250 3M ESPE, St Paul, MN, USA [FZ]) of A2, A3, B3, and C2 shades. Readings were obtained using VITA Easyshade V spectrophotometer for the teeth and restorations.
Article Synopsis
- The study synthesized a bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligand from thiosemicarbazide and a specific ketone through a condensation reaction.
- Metal complexes of this ligand were created using various metal salts, with their structures analyzed through multiple techniques like elemental analysis and spectroscopy.
- Molecular docking studies indicated that the ligand and its Ni and Cu complexes showed strong inhibitory potential against key enzymes, particularly the L-Ni(II) complex for acetylcholinesterase and the L-Cu(II) complex for glutathione-S-transferases.

In this study, bioaccumulation and temporal trends of some trace elements (arsenic: As, cadmium: Cd, copper: Cu, mercury: Hg, lead: Pb, and zinc: Zn) in edible abdomen muscle of crayfish from Keban Dam Lake (Elazığ, Turkey) were investigated for the 2006-2012 period.

It is, however, unclear if these materials are harmful to aquatic animals. In this study, the sub-lethal effects of exposure of low and high concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) on goldfish () were investigated.
