Inhibitory effects of compounds isolated from on IL-4 production and β-hexosaminidase release in RBL-2H3 cells.

This study aimed to investigate the anti-allergic activity of compounds isolated from Maxim. and to suggest potential therapeutic agents for allergies. Nine compounds were isolated from an ethanolic extract using chromatographic methods and identified chemically and by spectroscopic analysis.

Effects of heat treatment on the microstructure, residual stress, and mechanical properties of Co-Cr alloy fabricated by selective laser melting.

The mechanical properties and residual stress of dental Co-Cr-Mo (CCM) alloy depend on the manufacturing and post-processing methods, which affect the prognosis of dental prostheses. Two CCM alloys manufactured by casting and selective laser melting (SLM) were compared, and the effect of heat treatment temperature for CCM alloys manufactured by SLM method was evaluated. Specimens were fabricated by casting (Cast Co-Cr) and SLM (SLM Co-Cr).

Impact of Surface Chemistry Modifications on Speed and Strength of Osseointegration.

Purpose: To compare the bone responses of chemically modified implants using the plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition method with those of blasted implants.

Materials And Methods: The titanium implants were blasted with resorbable blasting media (RBM) and designated as controls. The ion-implanted implants were divided into two test groups, namely, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) implants.

Rehabilitation of a patient with non-syndromic partial oligodontia.

Oligodontia is defined as a congenital tooth agenesis with the absence of six or more permanent teeth. This clinical report describes a patient with non-syndromic partial oligodontia, with retained deciduous teeth and the absence of 16 permanent teeth. Anterior esthetic problems were caused by interarch tooth size discrepancy, interdental space, aberrant tooth dimensions, and the absence of centric contacts of the anterior teeth.
