The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of three resin cements to Vita Mark II ceramics under different pretreatments of the ceramic surface and to examine whether simplified pretreatment procedures would result in satisfying results compared to the state of the art. RelyX Unicem (RXU), Calibra (CAL), and Variolink II (VAR) were used as resin cements and bonded to machine milled feldspatic disks, pretreated in five different ways. (1) no pretreatment of the ceramic surface; (2) surface etched with hydrofluoric acid (HF); (3) ceramic surface silanized; (4) ceramic surface etched (HF) and silanized, (5) ceramic surface etched (HF), silanized, and covered with Heliobond. The shear bond strengths were measured initially, after 5000 and 10,000 thermocycles (TC). After 10,000 TC for CAL only procedure 5 resulted in a reliable adhesion median value of 10.7 MPa. VAR showed median values of 24.6, 17.2, and 18.1 MPa for pretreatments 5, 3, and 4, respectively. RXU performed 25.9, 22.0, and 11.0 MPa for procedures 5, 4, and 3, respectively. For procedure 2, RXU revealed the significantly highest value with 15.4 MPa (U-test, p = 0.05). Only RXU-luted specimens of procedure 1 survived the 10,000 thermocycles. The results revealed that a simplification of the ceramic pretreatment for VAR and RXU might be possible.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.
Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2.

The term "aerophilic surface" is used to describe superhydrophobic surfaces in the Cassie-Baxter wetting state that can trap air underwater. To create aerophilic surfaces, it is essential to achieve a synergy between a low surface energy coating and substrate surface roughness. While a variety of techniques have been established to create surface roughness, the development of rapid, scalable, low-cost, waste-free, efficient, and substrate-geometry-independent processes for depositing low surface energy coatings remains a challenge.

The application of physical fields is crucial for droplet generation and manipulation, underpinning technologies like printing, microfluidic biochips, drug delivery, and flexible sensors. Despite advancements, precise micro/nanoscale droplet generation and accurate microfluidic reactions remain challenging. Inspired by the liquid ejection mechanisms in microscopic organisms, an electrostatic manipulator for the precise capture, emission, and transport of microdroplets is proposed.

The both-sides machining method can obtain high precision cylindrical rollers, but there is a drawback that the lapping plate is easy to wear, which restricts further improvement in the quality of rollers machining. Aiming to solve this problem, a both-sides machining method using hard ceramic lapping plate is proposed. Friction and wear experiments with different lapping plate materials, along with the corresponding comparative machining experiments, demonstrated the superior performance of AlO ceramic lapping plate in terms of roundness (0.
