Camphorquinone is the most conventionally used photoinitiator in Dentistry. Although different alternative photoinitiators have been proposed, no photoinitiator was capable of completely substituting camphorquinone. The combination of photoinitiators has been considered the best alternative. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of combining Norrish type I and II photoinitiators on the cure efficiency of dental resin-based composites. Methodology: Experimental composites were produced containing different ...

This study investigates the in-depth polymerization of dual-cured resin cement (Enforce; Dentsply, shades A2, B1, and opaque). Cylindrical specimens are obtained by photo-activation through ceramic. Control samples are light-cured without using ceramic. Samples are tested after 15 min or 24 h. Knoop hardness readings are made at 100, 300, 500, and 700 μm depth. Hardness is generally dependent on the mode of activation and post-cure time. Shades A2 and B1 show higher hardness values than opaque resin. ...

The authors present a study of the XY chiral model on a Cayley tree in the presence of an external uniform magnetic field. They calculate the phase diagram at zero temperature from a corresponding 1D mapping. Ferromagnetic commensurate and incommensurate modulated phases as well as chaotic structures are present in the zero temperature limit. In this case they also obtain a devil's staircase and determine the route to chaos, which is in agreement with Feigenbaum's scenario. For finite temperatures, ...

Bone integrity depends on a finely tuned balance between bone synthesis by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. The secretion capacity of mature osteoblasts requires strict control of proteostasis. Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) prevents the accumulation of unfolded ER proteins via dislocation to the cytosol and degradation by the proteasome. The ER membrane protein, homocysteine-inducible endoplasmic reticulum protein with ubiquitin-like domain 1 (HERPUD1), is a key component ...
