Purpose: This study compared the efficacy of 5% Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics (EMLA) cream at application times of 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes to determine the most effective duration of topical anesthetic application on normal mucosa. A special instrument was used to apply pressure on the gingiva to obtain a threshold discomfort level in grams before and after the topical delivery.
Methods: Twenty mL of EMLA cream or a placebo was placed on the maxillary anteriorregion using Beckman paper wicks in the form of discs.
Statement Of Problem: Flowable composite is used in a variety of clinical applications; however, the capacity of these materials to resist crack propagation is not well understood.
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the resistance to crack propagation of 9 flowable composites as measured by the fracture toughness.
Material And Methods: The composites studied include AeliteFlo, Crystal Essence, Flow-it, FloRestore, Permaflo, Revolution, Tetric Flow, VersaFlo, and Wave.
