Abstract

To compare the retentive ability and deformation of Acetal resin with Cobalt-Chromium clasps via Insertion Removal apparatus after subjecting them to stimulate clinical use. Materials used for this study are commercially available Cobalt-Chromium alloy namely Wironit, Bego, Germany and Acetal resin namely Biodentaplast, Bredent, Germany. The test samples were divided into two major groups based on the type of materials used in the study. Each major group is further subdivided into two sub groups based on the retentive undercut depths used to engage the clasps. So a total of 20 specimens were prepared, comprising of 5 specimens in each sub group. Then the specimens were tested for retention force and deformation. The results of this study indicate that acetal resin clasps are resistant to deformation and may offer a clinical advantage over the conventional metal clasps. The retentive force of acetal resin clasps did not decrease over the cycling periods. This would be attributed to the resilient nature of acetal resin. Under the conditions of the present study cobalt chromium clasps lost retentive force within 730 cycles of placement and removal and continued to lose retentive force during the remaining test period. This invitro...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
