Aim: This study compared the effectiveness of several techniques in restoring compromised bonding to recently bleached enamel.
Methods: Seventy-five healthy bovine incisors were divided into five groups (n = 15). Fifteen teeth (Group 1) remained intact, whereas 60 (Groups 2 to 5) underwent at-home bleaching with 16% carbamide peroxide.
Background: Drought is a major abiotic stress that restricts plant growth and efficiency although some nutrients such as silicon improve drought tolerance by regulating the biosynthesis and accumulating some osmolytes. In this regard, a completely randomized factorial design was performed with three factors including two genotypes ('Maragheh' and 'Kashan'), three concentrations of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO-NPs) (0, 50, and 100 mg L), and five concentrations of PEG (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 g L) with three replications.
Results: The findings showed that drought stress decreased protein content and it was improved by SiO-NPs, so the genotype of 'Maragheh' treated with 100 mg L SiO-NPs had the highest protein content.
In this study, starch-based films incorporating metal oxide (MO ) nanoparticles (NPs) of TiO and SiO (at a concentration of 1 to 4 wt. %) were produced by solution casting method. In order to exhibit antimicrobial properties, MO NPs were modified by synthesizing silver (Ag) ions over the NPs using cationic adsorption method.
