Background Recently patients need faster treatments, and delaying restoration is not possible following bleaching treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of antioxidants, namely 10% sodium ascorbate, 10% alpha-tocopherol, 10% green tea and 10% Aloe vera extract on the shear bond strength of…

Industrial oxygen-delignified and fully-bleached hardwood kraft pulps were treated with chemicals to provoke carbohydrates depolymerisation: ozone, hypochlorous acid, and cellulase. The degrees of polymerisation (DP) of cellulose obtained by pulp viscosity measurement in Cuen and by size-exclusion chromatography after…

A systematic review was performed to evaluate whether whitening toothpastes promote tooth whitening when compared to the use of conventional (nonbleaching) dentifrices. This review was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42017065132) and is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.…

'Junji Tagami'] Title: Abstract This in vitro study evaluated the effect of sodium fluoride (NaF) on the bleaching efficacy using an artificial discolored bovine tooth model. Twenty specimens were prepared from bovine teeth by staining with black tea extract and were divided into two groups (n = 10). In control group…

'Hosein Bagheri' 'Fatemeh Namdar' 'Salehe Sekandari'] Objective Tooth bleaching may negatively affect the enamel surface properties, such as reduction in hardness values, and remineralizing agents can reverse these effects. This study evaluated the effect of remineralizing agents before, during, and after the bleaching…

Decontamination of surfaces and items plays an important role in reducing the spread of infectious microorganisms in many settings including hospitals and research institutes. Regardless of the location, appropriate decontamination procedures are required for maintaining biosafety and biosecurity. For example…

'Carlos Enrique Cuevas-Suárez' 'Adriana Fernandes da Silva' 'Evandro Piva' 'Rafael Guerra Lund'] To evaluate the bleaching ability, the effect on enamel surface and cytotoxicity of novel tooth-whitening formulations containing papain, ficin, or bromelain. Forty bovine dental discs (6 cm ×4 cm) were pigmentated and…

Given that the dearth of new antibiotic development loads an existential burden on successful infectious disease therapy^1^, health organizations are calling for alternative approaches to combat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Here, we report a drug-free photonic approach to eliminate…

The characterization of tissues using multiple different primary antibodies detected by secondary antibodies, each possessing a different colored fluorophore (multiplex immunofluorescence), is a powerful technique but often impaired by endogenous autofluorescence present in the specimen. Our current research involves…

Fluorophore brightness and photostability continue to be limiting factors in fluorescence microscopy. Several buffers that enhance these properties have been identified to date, though they do not work for all dyes, may require harmful components, or have limited storage lives. We have identified a simple…

Tissue clearing is a fundamental challenge in biology and medicine to achieve high-resolution optical imaging of tissues deep inside intact organs. The clearing methods, reported up to now, require long incubation time or physical/electrical pressure to achieve tissue clearing, which is done by matching the refractive…

Variation in fluorescence intensity from rhodamine 6G dye was investigated. A small volume of dye solution was optically excited with a 400 µW, 532nm wavelength cw-laser light. The dye was dissolved in methanol and glycerol for a concentration of 10mg/ml. With the optical excitation, initially the fluorescence…
