AI Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how oxidation heat treatment (OHT) and dual opaquing techniques affect the bond strength between metal and ceramic in dental materials.
- Eighty samples were created, divided into two main groups based on oxidation treatment, and further categorized by single or double layers of opaque porcelain, followed by flexural strength testing.
- Results showed that the combination of OHT and double layering (group A2) resulted in the highest bond strength, highlighting the significance of these techniques in enhancing ceramo-metal restorations.
Article Abstract
Background: This research aims to assess the impact of oxidation heat treatment (OHT) and dual opaquing techniques on enhancing the bond strength between metal and ceramic.
Material And Method: Eighty rectangular patterns with dimensions of 0.5x3x25 mm (according to ISO 9693-2012) were fabricated in a custom-made silicon mold by using auto-polymerized pattern resin material. These rectangular patterns were cast using base metal alloys. The samples were split into two primary groups: group A, subjected to OHT, and group B, without oxidation treatment. Each primary group was then split up into subgroups according to the application of single layers (group A1, B1) or double layers (group A2, B2) of opaque porcelain. After pre-surface treatment and Ceramco 3 paste opaque application, dentin porcelain (Ceramco 3) was applied to the mid-region of the samples, followed by firing to achieve a standardized thickness. Flexural strength determination was conducted via a three-point bend test performed on the universal testing machine (UTM) (Instron Corp., Model 2519-107, USA), adhering to ISO standard 9693. Post-testing failure types were analyzed by morphological assessment of debonding surfaces via a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 16, incorporating ANOVA for intergroup analysis and independent t-tests for intragroup comparisons.
Results: Group A2 exhibited the highest mean flexural bond strength (P<0.05) at 41.85 MPa when compared to group A1 at 37.60 MPa, group B2 at 35.47 MPa, and group B1 with the least mean flexural bond strength at 30.41 MPa. SEM observations revealed cohesive bond failure for groups A1, A2, and B2 and adhesive bond failure for groups B1.
Conclusion: It is evident that OHT and opaquing technique are important factors in determining the bond strength of ceramo-metal restorations. When combined, these techniques greatly increase the overall success and durability of metal-ceramic restorations, underscoring their significance in contemporary dental prostheses.

Objectives This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength of three resin cements (light-cured resin cement, pre-heated composite resin, and dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) when bonding to lithium disilicate discs. Materials and methods Thirty-six discs made of lithium disilicate were fabricated and etched with 9.5% (HF), and 36 human premolars were collected and immersed in the acrylic molds, then randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 12): Group 1: light-cured resin cement, Group 2: pre-heated resin composite, and Group 3: dual-cured resin cement.

The cross-linking reagent has been proposed as a means of modifying dentin collagen, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase activities, and enhancing bond durability during dentin bonding procedures. This study aimed to synthesize an operation-friendly dual cross-linking reagent-3-(4-formyphenoxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate (FPA)-to assess its ability to cross-link dentin collagen and reduce enzymatic activity at the bonding interface. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by a cell counting kit-8 test and calcein AM/propidium iodide assay.

Using an interatomic potential that can capture the tetrahedral configuration of water molecules (HO) in ice without the need to explicitly track the motion of the O and H atoms, coarse-grained (CG) atomistic simulations are performed here to characterize the structures, energy, cohesive strengths, and fracture resistance of the grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline ice resulting from water freezing. Taking the symmetric tilt grain boundaries (STGBs) with a tilting axis of ⟨0001⟩ as an example, several main findings from our simulations are (i) the GB energy, , exhibits a strong dependence on the GB misorientation angle, θ. The classical Read-Shockley model only predicts the - θ relation reasonably well when θ < 20° or θ > 45° but fails when 20° < θ < 45°; (ii) two "valleys" appear in the -θ landscape.

Purpose: This in-vitro study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) crowns on Corticobasal® implant abutments, evaluating the effects of two surface treatments and two luting agents.
Materials And Methods: Thirty Co-Cr crowns were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology with a direct metal laser sintering process and divided into three groups based on surface treatment: Group I (untreated), Group II (sandblasted with 50 μm Al₂O₃), and Group III (Er: YAG laser etching). Each group was further subdivided based on luting cement: Sub group A (GC Fuji Plus) and Sub group B (Rely X U200).

Introduction: The aim of this review was to identify, collect, appraise, and synthesise research profiling paramedic job tasks, injuries sustained, and current fitness levels, to guide optimal workplace performance and enhance injury mitigation efforts.
Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Scoping Reviews, four databases (PubMed, SPORTdiscus, CINAHL, and Embase) were searched using key search terms (derivatives of 'paramedic' and 'injury', 'physical fitness' and 'tasks'). Identified records were screened against eligibility criteria with remaining studies critically appraised.
