Objective: Acrylic denture base fracture is a common mode of failure. Heat-cured, auto-polymerized, visible light-cured, and microwaveable acrylic resins have been used as repair materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of two microwaveable resins (Acron MC and Justi) and one auto-polymerizing acrylic resin (ProBase Cold) as denture repair materials as opposed to a heat-cured one using the non-flasking procedure after thermocycling and photoaging.

Material And Methods: Ninety cylindrical specimens were made using the Vertex Rapid Simplified heat-cured acrylic resin. Each repair acrylic resin was poured on the specimen's surface using a cylindrical rubber mold with an internal diameter of 8.5 mm. Thirty specimens for each repair material were made. The control group consisted of 10 specimens from each group which were stored in water for 24 h at 37 degrees C; another 10 specimens from each group were subjected to a thermocycling procedure (5-55 degrees C for 1,000 cycles), while the remaining 10 specimens were subjected to a photoaging procedure. Shear bond strength was measured on a universal testing machine and mode of bond failure was examined under a stereomicroscope. Two-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc test were performed to identify statistical differences at alpha = 0.05.

Results: Justi's shear bond values were significantly inferior to those of ProBase Cold (p <0.05) and Acron MC (p <0.05). ProBase Cold and Acron MC acrylic resins exhibited similar values (p >0.05) of shear bond strength. Thermocycling and photoaging did not affect the shear bond values of any of the materials under investigation (p >0.05).

Conclusions: ProBase Cold and Acron MC exhibited similar shear bond values. Justi repair material exhibited inferior bond strength compared with that of ProBase Cold and Acron MC. Aging procedures did not affect the bonding properties of any of the repair materials.

Background: The quality of Acipenser sinensis deteriorates significantly during frozen storage due to its high water, protein, and unsaturated fatty acid content. Conventional freezing methods are insufficient to preserve it effectively. This study investigated the effects of liquid nitrogen freezing (LNF) on the quality and myofibrillar protein (MP) characteristics of A.

Impact of surface conditioner phytic acid (IP6) Er,Cr:YSGG laser (ECYL) methylene blue photodynamic therapy (MB-PDT) on the microleakage and shear bond strength (SBS) of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) to primary sound dentin. Overall, 80 extracted sound primary molars were collected followed by their submergence in self-cure acrylic resin. The dentin surface was exposed and made flat and was assigned into four groups based on the surface conditioning.

Background: Resin cements often require substrate-specific pretreatment. Recently, universal adhesive systems have been introduced, simplifying procedures by eliminating the need for multiple adhesives and offering options that do not require light curing. This study investigated the bonding performance of universal adhesive systems combined with dual-polymerising resin cements on enamel, dentin, zirconia, lithium disilicate ceramics (LDS), and resin blocks.

Polydopamine (PD), inspired by the wet adhesion mechanism of mussel foot proteins, has emerged as a promising adhesive material with wide-ranging applications. This study aimed to compare the adhesive properties of PD and Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) on enamel and dentin substrates, evaluating PD's potential as an alternative adhesive in dental practice. A total of 120 human premolars were prepared, with 80 teeth allocated for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and 40 teeth reserved for shear bond strength testing.

The iron-regulated surface determinant protein B (IsdB) has recently been shown to bind to toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), thereby inducing a strong inflammatory response in innate immune cells. Currently, two unsolved questions are (i) What is the molecular mechanism of the IsdB-TLR4 interaction? and (ii) Does it also play a role in nonimmune systems? Here, we use single-molecule experiments to demonstrate that IsdB binds TLR4 with both weak and extremely strong forces and that the mechanostability of the molecular complex is dramatically increased by physical stress, sustaining forces up to 2000 pN, at a loading rate of 10 pN/s. We also show that TLR4 binding by IsdB mediates time-dependent bacterial adhesion to endothelial cells, pointing to the role of this bond in cell invasion.
