Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on creating new chitosan hydrogels loaded with silver nanoparticles and ampicillin to prevent the early formation of biofilms, which can lead to infections.
  • Various characterization techniques were used to analyze these hydrogels, revealing their physical properties and effectiveness against drug-resistant pathogens.
  • Results showed that specific formulations could inhibit biofilm formation in some bacteria and demonstrated anticoagulant effects, suggesting potential use in preventing complications for patients with central venous catheters.

Glass coatings to enhance the interfacial bond strength between veneering ceramic and zirconia.

Odontology

July 2020

Oral Biochemical Microbiology and Pathology Laboratory, Faculty of Stomatology, Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, Av. Dr. Manuel Nava No. 2. Zona Universitaria, 78290, San Luis Potosí, SLP, Mexico.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the tensile bond strength (TBS) and shear bond strength (SBS) between a zirconia core and fluoroapatite-pressed ceramic after the application of glass 46SP6 and AP40 via the ISO-17095:2013 methodology. Sintered zirconia beams (n = 120) were divided into four groups: (a) control: no treatment; (b) ZirL: IPS-E max ceram ZirLiner coating; (c) glass AP40 coating; and (d) glass 46SP6 coating. A fluoroapatite ceramic (IPS e.
