Many techniques have been used in repair and strengthening of
reinforced beam, among which are external steel beams, external
pre- stressing, epoxy injection, additional concrete overlay, external
steel plates, additional longitudinal and transver
se - steel bars.
Fifteen R.C. beams were tested until failure and the deflection,
surface strains, internal steel strains, external steel strains and crack
patterns were measured, the results were analyzed and conclusions
were summarized. Finally, the recommendations were stated with
the needed future work.
The aim of this study was to compare microleakage of resin-based
sealant Helioseal F with or without bonding agent. Fifty-six sound
human maxillary first premolar teeth were collected which were
extracted for orthodontic purpose, then the teeth we
re randomly divided
into two main equal groups; group (1) and group (2), the first group was
treated with Tetric N Bond bonding agent, whiles the second group
without.
The aim of this study To compare in vitro shear bond strength (SBS) of different
orthodontic adhesives in and rebonding metal brackets after preparing their bases
mechanically.
Material and methods:Sample consisted of 40 extracted first premolars,
randomly
divided into two groups (n=20),.Adhesive removed by tungsten carbide bur later the
brackets were rebonded. The tests were performed in a tecnotest (6kN) SBS testing
machine, at a speed of 1 mm/min.
It was found that the mean shear bond strength of Reseliencewas 19.25 MPa and that
of Heliosit orthodontic was 10.25MPa.We foundthat the mean shear bond strength of
rebonding forReselience was 13.70 and 7.95 forHeliosit.The t-test revealed that there was a
significant difference between the shear bond strength of the two groups.
We found a significant difference between bonding and rebondingfor
Reselience,while there was no significant difference between bonding and rebonding for
Heliosit.
Porcelain Laminate Veneers have shown promising results recently
when used as an alternative to metal ceramic restorations for the
anterior teeth. Long-term success for any restoration depends on the
marginal fit, because marginal gaps increase pl
aque accumulation
and causing periodontitis. The aim of this study was to Asses
marginal fit changes according to were curing the bond agent before
or after cementation.
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of dentinal region on shear
bond strength by comparing the shear bond strength between root and coronal dentin when using a nanoionomer
material (Ketac N100,3M Espe) and a fifth generation bondin
g material (Excite,Vivadent)
applied with a resin composite (Tetric-ceram,Vivadent).
The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond
strength to root dentin of a nano- ionomer material (Ketac N100,3M) and a
fifth generation bonding material (Excite,Vivadent) applied with a resin
composite (Tetric-ceram,Vivadent), in order to determine the material of
choice for restoring root extended lesions.
