Characterization of a novel light-cured star-shape poly(acrylic acid)-composed glass-ionomer cement: fluoride release, water sorption, shrinkage, and hygroscopic expansionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study evaluated the fluoride release, water sorption, curing shrinkage, and hygroscopic expansion of a novel experimental light-cured glass-ionomer cement. The effects of glycidyl methacrylate (GM) grafting, polymer : water (P : W) and powder : liquid (P : L) ratios were investigated. Commercial Fuji II and Fuji II LC cements were used as controls for comparison. All the specimens were conditioned in deionized water at 37°C before testing. The results demonstrated that the experimental cement showed lower burst and slower bulk fluoride release than Fuji II and Fuji II LC. The experimental cement absorbed more water t...

Signal transduction and gene transcription induced by TFF3 in oral keratinocytesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study aimed to identify novel functions of TFF3 in oral keratinocytes. To achieve this, we used phosphoprotein and messenger RNA (mRNA) arrays to compare TFF3-treated and untreated oral keratinocytes. Analysis of the phosphoprotein array indicated that TFF3 signals through the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2), and through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB) pathway. Microarray analysis of mRNA showed that TFF3 stimulation induced changes in the expression of genes functionally related to cell death/s...

Degree of conversion and interfacial nanoleakage expression of three one-step self-etch adhesivesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study was performed to determine the degree of cure within the hybrid layers produced by three one-step self-etch adhesives in situ using Raman microspectroscopy and to investigate nanoleakage expression. Dentin disks were bonded with AdheSE One, Adper Prompt L-Pop, or iBond. Composite layers of 2-mm thickness were built up in bulk on the polymerized adhesive surfaces and then the adhesive[ndash]dentin interfaces were exposed to a micro-Raman beam. Adhesive penetration was calculated using the relative intensities of bands associated with mineral and adhesive, and the degree of conversion (DC) was evaluated. Interfaci...

This study investigated the effect of resin coating and occlusal loading on adhesion and microleakage of all-ceramic crowns. Molars were prepared for an all-ceramic crown and were divided into two groups: non-coated (control) and resin-coated with Clearfil Tri-S Bond. Crowns were fabricated using CEREC 3 and cemented using Clearfil Esthetic Cement. After 24 h of storage in water, the restored teeth in each group were divided into two subgroups: unloaded, or loaded while stored in water. Mechanical loading was achieved with an axial force of 80 N at 2.5 cycles s[minus]1 for 250,000 cycles. After immersion in Rhodamine B, th...
