This study compared the adhesive shear bond strength of three selected impression materials with that of thermoplastic and acrylic resin tray materials as a function of surface preparation. Polyether (Impregum), polyvinylsiloxane (Reprosil), and polysulfide (Permlastic) impression materials were evaluated on smooth, rough, and contaminated tray surfaces. Smooth surface samples were formed against glass and served as the control groups. Experimental groups consisted of samples contaminated with artificial saliva and rough surface samples that were abraded with 110 microns of Al203. A total of 126 samples were subdivided into 18 groups of seven specimens each. Each sample consisted of a 1 inch square, 3 mm thick mass of an impression material sandwiched between the prepared surfaces of a pair of resin plates. Each specimen was tested in a universal testing machine for adhesive shear bond strength. Data were analyzed with three-way analysis of variance and Scheffe's test. The results indicated that the thermoplastic resin material had better adhesive properties than the acrylic resin. For both tray materials mean adhesive shear bond strengths for Impregum and Reprosil were significantly greater than those of Permlastic. Tray surface contaminated with saliva decreased the adhesive shear strength at the tray adhesive impression interface.

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.
