Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights the importance of identifying periodontal phenotypes in clinical practice, as tissue thickness affects responses to inflammation and surgical outcomes.
  • The research was conducted using non-invasive methods like Colorvue® probes and iTero® scanners to assess gingival tissue, comparing them with traditional methods.
  • Results showed that non-invasive techniques not only provided significant color perception differences but also reduced patient anxiety and pain levels, especially with intraoral scanning.

Local Khulays clay was modified to prepare polystyrene clay nanocomposite (PCN) coatings on carbon steel. The PCN coatings were added to microcapsules (MCs) loaded with the corrosion inhibitor PCN(MC). The microcapsules were prepared by the encapsulation of rare-earth metal Ce ions and isobutyl silanol into polystyrene via the double emulsion solvent evaporation (DESE) technique.

Article Synopsis
  • * The fabrication of standard samples for testing was done using aluminum molds, and techniques like sonication and silane coupling were used to ensure uniform dispersion of the components in the epoxy matrix.
  • * Results showed dramatic improvements in the tensile and yield strength of the composite, highlighting the benefits of combining Zr and SiO with microfillers, making the material suitable for construction applications where strength and adhesion are key.
