Antimicrobial Efficacy of Irreversible Hydrocolloid Impression Impregnated with Silver Nanoparticles Compared to Surface Disinfected Impressions - An Study.

Background: Routine disinfection procedures have shown to cause incomplete disinfection and detrimental effects on dimensional properties of the impression. Hence, self-disinfecting impression materials impregnated with antimicrobial agents were developed.

Purpose: The purpose is to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) impregnated in irreversible hydrocolloid (IH) impression material in conditions.

Effect of forging parameters on low cycle fatigue behaviour of Al/basalt short fiber metal matrix composites.

This paper deals with metal matrix composites (MMCs) of Al 7075 alloy containing different weight percentage (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10) basalt short fiber reinforcement and unreinforced matrix alloy.
