To Study the Effect of Different Core Thickness on the Flexural Strength of Zirconia and Feldspathic Ceramics. Bilayered Zirconia-Feldspathic Samples of Three Commercial Brands were Made in Three Different Thickness(n=10): 0.5 Mm, 0.8 Mm and 1.0 Mm Respectively. on Zirconia Core Specimens of each Thickness, Feldspathic Dentin Porcelain was Added to Reach a Total Crown Thickness of 2 Mm. Samples were Stored in Artificial Saliva with Neutral Ph for 10 Days at 37°C. Flexural Strength was Conducted with 3-Point Bending Test. Data were Analyzed by One-way ANOVA, and Multiple Comparisons were Performed Using Student-Newman-Keuls Test(α=0.05). the Measurement of 1.0 Mm Group was Higher than the other Groups, and 0.5 Mm Group was the Lowest(P<0.05), Regardless of any Commercial Brand. Commercial Dental Zirconia Blocks had Varied Flexural Strength, Zirkonzahn Expressed Highest Value in any Thickness Group Compared with the other Materials. Moreover, the Fracture Mode of Zirconia Bilayered Composites was Different in this Study, 0.5 Mm and 0.8 Mm Groups Exhibited Higher Number of Fragments and Appeared to Delamination Compared with 1.0 Mm Group. so we Infer that the Thickness of Core can have an Effect on the Flexural Strength of Bilayered Zirconia-Feldspathic Crown, as well as Different Kinds of Materials.

Commercial dental zirconia blocks had varied flexural strength, Zirkonzahn expressed highest value in any thickness group compared with the other materials. Moreover, the fracture mode of zirconia bilayered composites was different in this study, 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm groups exhibited higher number of fragments and appeared to delamination compared with 1.0 mm group. So we infer that the thickness of core can have an effect on the flexural strength of bilayered zirconia-feldspathic crown, as well as different kinds of materials.

Aloe vera (Aloe Vera L.) is a plant which commonly used by local people as moisturizer. The usage of aloe vera can be applied in form of peeled off gel mask with polyvinyl alcohol as gelling agent. The goal of this research is to determine the influence of increase of polyvinyl alcohol as gelling agent to the formulation of peeled off mask from aloe vera juice. The formulation was made in a few concentration, 10%, 12%, and 14% by adding 0,5% of aloe vera juice. After that, the formulation evaluated for 4 weeks about the organoleptics, homogenity, pH, drying time and viscosity. The date of pH test and drying time analyzed by using one way ANOVA statistically and then followed by Tukey HSD test and the viscosity analyzed by using Kruskall Wallis statistically which result in the significantcy less than 0,05 that mean there are difference in drying time and viscosity, on the other hand there is no difference in pH.

Objectives: Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is routinely placed as a restorative material in dentistry. However, due to its poor physical properties, its use is limited to cases where the level of stress on restoration is minimal. Improved formulations of GIC have been developed to overcome these drawbacks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate flexural strength of a conventional GIC (Fuji IX) against a newly developed glass carbomer cement (GCP). Materials and Methods: For Fuji IX and GCP, a total of 80 blocks were prepared and divided into 16 groups (n = 5). These groups were further categorized according to the storage medium (artificial saliva and Vaseline) and time intervals (24 h and 1, 2, and 4 weeks). A 3-point bending test was carried out, and statistical analysis was done using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. Results: Fuji IX showed a mean flexural strength of 25.14 ± 13.02 versus 24.27 ± 12.57 MPa for GCP. There was no significant statistical difference between both materials when compared under storage media. Both materials showed the highest value for flexural strength at 2 weeks of storage and lowest at 4 weeks. Conclusion: The storage media do not affect the flexural strength of the specimens with reference to time. Time is the unique factor with relative influence on mean resistance to fracture. Further testing is required to evaluate the true potential of the newly developed GCP.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low shrinkage monomers on physicochemical properties of dental resin composites. Two low shrinkage resin composites: one with a crosslink branching monomer (Kalore, GC Corp) and a novel monomer (Venus Diamond, Heraeus Kulzer) were compared to a conventional resin composite formulation (Filtek Z250, 3M/ESPE). The volumetric shrinkage was evaluated by µCT analysis (n=5) and the physicochemical properties by degree of C=C conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS) and Young's modulus (YM) (n=10). All samples were light cured by a LED device (Radii, SDI) with 16 J/cm2. The results were analysed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey test for multiple comparisons (α=0.05). No statistical difference was found between µCT shrinkage values to Kalore (1.8%) and Venus Diamond (1.7%) (p≥0.05); Z250 presented statistical highest shrinkage value (2.0%). Kalore presented higher statistical DC (60.8%) than Venus Diamond (49.5%) and Z250 (49.6%). No statistical difference was found between FS or YM properties to Venus Diamond and Z250; Kalore presented statistical lowest FS and YM properties (p≥0.05). Conclusion: Using novel monomers seem to reduce polymerization shrinkage without affecting the physicochemical properties evaluated of resin composites rather than using crosslink branching monomers.

This study investigates the flexural performance of RC beams under the effects of a tropical climate. Effects from the tropical climate, such as heat and rain throughout the year, may cause deterioration to the surface of concrete. Concrete will gradually erode and may expose the steel inside the beam. If the steel is exposed, it may be oxidized, thus decreasing the strength of the RC structure. To avoid this situation from happening, the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) method of strengthening may be applied as an alternative. Three beams with the size of 125 mm x 300 mm x 1800 mm (width; height; length) were constructed for this study. The first one is a beam without strengthening, while the other two beams were strengthened with CFRP plate horizontally positioned on the tension zones, where one beam is placed under room temperature conditions, while the other is left to endure the conditions of the tropical climate for a period of 6 months. All three beams were then tested under a four-point bending test. Results show that the strengthened beam placed under room temperature conditions has 1% more flexural strength compared to the exposed beam. The exposed beam, however, has 21% more flexural strength compared to the control beam. Thus, NSM is proven to strengthen beams even in a tropical climate.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) incorporation on the physicochemical properties of a methacrylate-based dental adhesive. EGCG was added to Adper Easy One (3M-ESPE) except in control group, to obtain concentrations of 0.01% w/w and 0.1% w/w of EGCG-doped adhesives. For water sorption (WS) and solubility (SL) surveys, resin discs were assayed following ISO recommendations (n=10). The degree of conversion (DC) was analyzed by FTIR whereas flexural strength (FS) was tested by three-point bending with bar specimens (n=10). Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). No significant difference in the DC, WS and FS were found between the different concentrations of EGCG (p>0.05). Adhesives containing 0.1% or 0.01% of EGCC demonstrated similar values of SL (p>0.05) and higher than those found for adhesive without EGCC (p<0.05). In conclusion, the addition of EGCC to adhesive reduced the solubility without affecting the other evaluated properties.

 The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of post-polymerization heat on the flexural strength of direct composites. Direct composite specimens (n=10), measuring 25×2×2 mm (Z-250 and P-60), were polymerized by 3 methods: (1) light-polymerized for 40 seconds, (2) (1) + post-polymerization in an oven at 120ºC for 20 minutes, and (3) (1) post-polymerization in an autoclave at 120ºC for 20 minutes. Specimens (n=10) of the indirect composite Artglass (control group) were polymerized in a UniXS oven. Specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 hours at 37ºC and then submitted to a flexural 3-point bending test with a universal testing machine. Flexural strength (MPa) data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey´s multiple comparison test (α=.05). Results showed that (1) additional heat polymerization in an oven provided significantly (p<.05) higher flexural strengths (Z250: 158.85 MPa and P60: 147.10 MPa) than that of the Artglass resin (121.52 MPa); (2) with additional heat polymerization in an autoclave, these direct resins presented mean flexural strengths (Z250: 134.54 MPa and P60: 130.18 MPa) similar to that of Artglass (P>.05); (3) groups that were only light-polymerized (Z250: 124.75 MPa and P60: 128.96 MPa) were similar to Artglass (P>.05). When composites were only light-polymerized, they showed a flexural strength behavior similar to that of the indirect composite Artglass. The post-polymerization heat do not enhanced the resistance of the Filtek P60, but increased the strength of the Filtek Z250 when additional heat polymerization in a oven

ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the degradation of strength of elastomeric chains submitted to different levels of salivary pH and exposed to mouthrinses with and without fluoride. Materials and methods Seven groups of chain elastics (n = 18) mounted on test devices that remained immersed in artificial saliva were tested. Group 1 (pH 5 and without fluoride), 2 (pH 5 and with fluoride), 3 (pH 6 and without fluoride), 4 (pH 6 and with fluoride), 5 (pH 7.5 and without fluoride) and 6 (pH 7.5 and with fluoride) and 7 (control group). The test groups were exposed to mouthrinses twice a day for 30 seconds, with an interval of 12 hours between one exposure and the other. A control group was immersed in distilled water. The strength of samples was gauged with a dynamometer. Six measurements of strength were made in the following time intervals: initial (0), 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The force values were submitted to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test to determine whether there were statistical differences between each group. The level of significance adopted was 5% (α = 0.05). Results When the groups were evaluated individually, comparing the factor time in the initial period, the force was statistically higher than that in all the other experimental time intervals (p < 0.05). From the 7th day up to day 28, no statistical differences were found among the groups (p > 0.05). The factors pH and the presence of mouthwash with or without fluoride did not interfere in the results among the groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion The presence or absence of fluoride in the mouthrinses used in the study made no difference to the force degradation of the chain elastics, as the test groups obtained similar results among them in the studied time intervals.

BACKGROUND Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a versatile restorative cement in paediatric dentistry. Due to its less flexural strength, alternative materials have been developed. Cention N is one such material, but since it’s a new material evidence is lacking regarding its physical properties, especially flexural strength for evaluating its clinical outcome. We wanted to compare the flexural strength of glass ionomer cement and Cention N stored in artificial saliva and its variation over different time intervals, i.e., after 24 hours, 1 week and 4 weeks. METHODS A total of 30 specimens were prepared for GIC (Fuji IX) and Cention N and were further categorized according to the duration of storage time of 24 hours, 1 week and 4 weeks (N = 10). A 3 - point bending test using a universal testing machine was used to evaluate the flexural strength. RESULTS GIC Fuji IX showed a mean flexural strength of 35.296 ± 1.61 Mpa at the end of 24 hours, 47.234 ± 4.12 after 1 week and 66.039 ± 11.05 Mpa at the end of 4 weeks. GIC showed a statistically significant increase of flexural strength from 24 hours to one week and a further increase after 4 weeks of storage. The flexural strength of Cention N at 24 hours was 175.985 ± 22.11 Mpa, at the end of one week was 163.486 ± 17.55 MPa, and after 4 weeks was 175.437 ± 27.22 Mpa. Cention N did not show any statistically significant change in flexural strength value from 24 hours to 4 weeks. Cention N showed highly significant difference between flexural strength compared to GIC at all - time intervals. CONCLUSIONS Cention N has a superior flexural strength compared to GIC at all - time intervals. KEY WORDS Cention N, Flexural Strength, Glass Ionomer Cement

The order and modalities of cross-member state redistribution as well as the net financial position of the member states are one of the most widely discussed aspects of European integration. The paper addresses selected issues in the current debate on the EU budget for the period 2007 to 2013 and introduces four scenarios. The first is identical to the European Commission's proposal; the second is based on reducing the budget to 1% of the EU's GNI, as proposed by the six net-payer countries, while maintaining the expenditure structure of the Commission's proposal. The next two scenarios represent radical reforms: one of them also features a '1% EU GNI'; however, the expenditures for providing 'EU-wide value-added' are left unchanged and it is envisaged that the requisite cuts will be made in the expenditures earmarked for cohesion. The other reform scenario is different from the former one in that the cohesion-related expenditures are left unchanged and the expenditures for providing 'EU-wide value-added' are reduced. After the comparison of the various scenarios, the allocation of transfers to the new member states in terms of the conditions prevailing in the different scenarios is analysed.
