A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the bond strength of composite resin bonded to porcelain surfaces by use of a variety of treatment regimens with the All-Bond 2 adhesive system. There were significant differences in the 24-hour bond strengths between several of the surface treatment methods. The mean shear bond strength after 24 hours of water storage ranged from 10.6 +/- 2.3 MPa to 25.0 +/- 4.4 MPa. Nine of the surface treatment methods showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in bond strengths after 3 months of water storage and thermocycling. After 3 months, the bond strengths ranged 0.1 +/- 0.1 MPa to 17.4 +/- 2.0 MPa. Porcelain surface treatment with aluminum oxide air abrasion followed by hydrofluoric acid, a silane coupling agent, and an unfilled resin produced a bond strength after 3 months' water storage and thermocycling that was significantly greater (p < 0.05) than the other nine porcelain surface-treatment techniques. Visual examination of the debonded specimens generally showed cohesive failures in porcelain for the treatment groups with a mean bond strength above 13 MPa.

BACKGROUND Indirect ceramic restorations often need multiple firings to match the shade of natural teeth or need after-correction and ceramic addition during the clinical trial stage. Many studies have examined how multiple firings affect the mechanical characteristics of zirconia-veneered prostheses. The effect of firing number on adhesion between these core and heat-pressed lithium disilicate veneering ceramics is unclear.

This study aimed to compare the bonding efficacy three bioactive self-adhesive restorative systems to dentin. A total of 80 permanent human molars were utilized in this study. The occlusal enamel was removed to exposed mid-coronal dentin; 40 molars were used for microshear bond strength testing, while the remaining molars were used for micromorphological analysis of restoration/dentin interface.

This study investigates camel milk protein structural dynamics during digestion using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Two-Dimensional Infrared (2D-IR) homo-correlation and hetero-correlation analysis. The synchronous 2DIR homo-correlation map reveals that NH bending and C-N stretching vibrations (amide II) are sensitive to digestion, indicating significant impacts on secondary structures. The asynchronous 2DIR homo-correlation indicates a stepwise process, where initial disruptions in NH interactions precede changes in CO stretching vibrations (amide I), highlighting the sequence of structural alterations during protein unfolding and degradation.

Why does silicon have an indirect band gap?

Mater Horiz

Department of Materials Science, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA.

It is difficult to intuit how electronic structure features-such as band gap magnitude, location of band extrema, effective masses, -arise from the underlying crystal chemistry of a material. Here we present a strategy to distill sparse and chemically-interpretable tight-binding models from density functional theory calculations, enabling us to interpret how multiple orbital interactions in a 3D crystal conspire to shape the overall band structure. Applying this process to silicon, we show that its indirect gap arises from a competition between first and second nearest-neighbor bonds-where second nearest-neighbor interactions pull the conduction band down from Γ to X in a cosine shape, but the first nearest-neighbor bonds push the band up near X, resulting in the characteristic dip of the silicon conduction band.
