Context: Effect of adhesion boosters on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets.

Aim: The aim is to evaluate the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (ARI) score of new brackets bonded to a debonded tooth surface with and without the use of adhesion boosters.

Settings And Designs: comparative study.

Materials And Methods: Adhesion boosters: Enhance LC (Reliance, Itasca III) All Bond 2 (Bisco, Schaumsburg) and the Composite adhesives Transbond XT (3M UNITEK) Enlight (ORMCO) were used in this study. One hundred and eight extracted maxillary first premolar teeth were bonded with light cure composite to etched tooth surface. The brackets were then debonded with debonding pliers after 1 week and it was polished with low speed tungston carbide bur and rubber cup. The teeth were divided into six groups and they were etched, washed, and dried again. New brackets were rebonded to the tooth surface using composites with or without adhesion boosters. Then, the shear bond strength value was calculated for each bracket with a universal testing machine. ARI scores were also evaluated.

Statistical Analysis Used: One-way ANOVA and least significant difference test was used for the association between variables. Probability value ( < 0.05) was considered statistically significant.

Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference between the groups with a < 0.001. There was no significant difference in ARI scores between the groups ( = 0.15).

Conclusions: Both the adhesion boosters significantly improved the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets. There was no statistically significant difference in the ARI scores.

Anti-IgLON5 disease was identified 10 years ago, thanks to the discovery of IgLON5 antibodies and the joint effort of specialists in sleep medicine, neuroimmunology, and neuropathology. Without this collaboration, it would have been impossible to untangle fundamental aspects of this disease. After the seminal description in 2014, today there is growing evidence that most patients present a chronic progressive course with gait instability, abnormal movements, bulbar dysfunction, and a sleep disorder characterized by nonrapid eye movement and REM parasomnias, and obstructive sleep apnea with stridor.

Integrating molecular-caged nano-hydroxyapatite into post-crosslinked PVA nanofibers for artificial periosteum.

Artificial periosteum is deemed a novel strategy for inducing endogenous bone regeneration, but ideal periosteum substitutes achieved by orchestrating a biomimetic microenvironment for bone regeneration remain a significant challenge. Here, we design and fabricate a hybridized nanofiber-based artificial periosteum with boosted osteoinduction properties. Via a "molecular cage" biomineralization strategy, nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) with a controllable size (∼22 nm) and excellent dispersion serves as unique nano-additives for water-soluble polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA)-based artificial periosteum.

The development and growth of fish farming are hindered by viral and bacterial infectious diseases, which necessitate effective disease control measures. Furunculosis, primarily caused by Aeromonas salmonicida, stands out as a significant bacterial disease affecting salmonid fish farms, particularly rainbow trout. Vaccination has emerged as a crucial tool in combating this disease.

Adhesive capsulitis following vaccination is a rare complication secondary to improper intramuscular (IM) deltoid vaccine administration. It is considered a subset of the broad category known as shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). SIRVA typically results from improper shoulder anatomic localization prior to injection, leading to erroneous placement of the needle into the glenohumeral joint capsule or subacromial space.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on how microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) interact with polymeric additives in an air lime matrix to improve mortar properties.
  • Two types of PCMs with melting points of 18 °C and 24 °C were tested alongside additives like a starch-derived adhesion booster and a superplasticizer (polycarboxylate ether).
  • Results showed that while the superplasticizer helped maintain dispersion and overcome water demand issues, the starch-based additive led to clumping, prompting the researchers to find the best formulation for using PCMs in lime-based mortars to enhance adhesion and reduce cracking.
