Objective: To assess the impact of a novel touch-cure polymerization of dual-curing resin cement on the push-out bonding strength (PBS) of the conventional prefabricated glass fiber-reinforced composite (GFRC) and custom-made glass fiber (GF) posts at different root sections.
Methods: Forty single-root mandibular first premolars were treated endodontically and prepared for receiving the posts, the prepared roots were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group I: A prefabricated (GFRC) post was cemented by G-CEM ONE resin cement with adhesive-enhancing primer (AEP). Group II: A prefabricated (GFRC) post was cemented by G-CEM ONE without AEP. Group III: A customized (GF) post was cemented by G-CEM ONE with AEP. Group IV: A customized (GF) post was cemented by G-CEM ONE without AEP. (n = 10 for each group). The PBS was tested with a universal testing machine, and the values were analyzed with (ANOVA) and Tukey's post hoc test at a ≤ 0.05 significance level.
Results: Group III revealed the greatest PBS values, followed by Group IV, Group I, and finally, Group II showed the lowest PBS values. The coronal root slices showed the highest PBS in comparison with the middle and apical third.
Conclusion: The touch-cure polymerization improved the PBS of the prefabricated and customized fiber posts. Therefore, ‟touch and cure" cement may be considered a clinical alternative to conventional types of resin cement. The customized (GF) posts exhibited a higher PBS than the prefabricated (GFRC). The combination of customized posts and G-CEM ONE with AEP is recommended as a new strategic approach to improve interfacial adhesion.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.
Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.
A deep understanding of the mechanical properties of weakly cemented sandstones in coal-bearing strata is crucial for ensuring the safety of coal mining operations. This study addresses this problem by investigating the deformation characteristics of such rocks through triaxial compression tests, and a novel piecewise constitutive model was developed, integrating the Double-strain Hoek model (TPHM) and statistical damage theory. The outcomes highlight several key findings: (1) The experiments revealed a distinct compaction stage in weakly cemented sandstone, which becomes shorter with an increase in confining pressure, highlighting a significant mechanical property of these rocks.

Life Cycle Assessment is an essential tool for evaluating the environmental impacts of products over their entire lifecycle. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, buildings consume the most energy throughout their lifespan. Cleanrooms, crucial in industries like biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, require significant energy, impacting ecosystems, resources, and human health.

Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of metal brackets to glazed lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia according to various surface treatment protocols.
Methods: A total of 240 lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) and 240 zirconia (Zr) blocks were randomly divided according to sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, universal primer use, and the adhesive system applied. A maxillary canine metal bracket was bonded to each sample with resin cement (Transbond XT, TXT).

Statement Of Problem: Excess cement in implant-supported restorations can lead to peri-implant diseases, and its removal remains a clinical challenge. The optimum method of minimizing excess cement is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare 3 cementation techniques and 3 cement types and measure excess cement.
