Experimental Composite Resin with Myristyltrimethylammonium Bromide (MYTAB) and Alpha-Tricalcium Phosphate (α-TCP): Antibacterial and Remineralizing Effect.

The aim of this study was to develop an experimental composite resin with the addition of myristyltrimethylammonium bromide (MYTAB) and α -tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) as an antibacterial and remineralizing material. Experimental composite resins composed of 75 wt% Bisphenol A-Glycidyl Methacrylate (BisGMA) and 25 wt% Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) were produced. Some 1 mol% Trimethyl benzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide (TPO) was used as a photoinitiator, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BTH) was added as a polymerization inhibitor.

Physicochemical and biological evaluation of a triazine-methacrylate monomer into a dental resin.

Objectives: This study aimed to (1) formulate blend resins with 2.5 or 5 wt.% of the methacrylate monomer 1,3,5-triacryloylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine (TAT), and (2) to evaluate the blend resins regarding the physicochemical and biological properties.

Titanium dioxide nanotubes with triazine-methacrylate monomer to improve physicochemical and biological properties of adhesives.

Objective: Formulate experimental adhesives containing titanium dioxide nanotubes (nt-TiO) or titanium dioxide nanotubes with a triazine-methacrylate monomer (nt-TiO:TAT) and evaluate the effect of these fillers on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the adhesives.

Methods: First, nt-TiO were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The nt-TiO were mixed with a triazine-methacrylate monomer (TAT) to formulate nt-TiO:TAT, which were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Wollastonite as filler of an experimental dental adhesive.

Objective: The aim of this study was to formulate experimental dental adhesives with wollastonite and evaluate the physical, chemical, and bioactivity properties of the resins.

Methods: Wollastonite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray and laser diffraction analyses, and scanning electronic microscopy. An experimental adhesive resin was formulated, and wollastonite was used as filler at 0 (control group), 0.

Nutritional composition of and its association with the observed antimutagenic effects.

is an Ethiopian native grass plant ( or family) whose importance as a crop grain has increased in recent years. The aim of this study is to analyze the nutritional composition of its seeds and the mutagenic/antimutagenic activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of the seed flour. Chemical elements (colloquially known as minerals) were determined using Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS), while the content of amino acids (aminogram) and fatty acids (profile of fatty acids) were quantified by HPLC.
