Other people won’t notice that you have a filling, especially for teeth that are close to the front of your mouth. White…

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the long-term performance of resin based fissure sealants applied in a general dental practice. To do this it set out to evaluate sealant retention and failure rates. This study took place in a general dentistry practice located in the Netherlands. The group studied consisted of regularly attending patients who visited the practice for routine exams during the period from July 2006 until November 2007. Patients that had one or more resin-based sealants…

Wisdom teeth received their name because they erupt much later in life than other teeth. Despite what their name suggests, though, wisdom teeth are neither wise nor superior to other molars.

Wisdom Teeth are Prone to Tooth Decay Thanks to their location in the very back of your mouth, wisdom teeth are difficult to clean properly.…

Knee Wraps: The Benefits and Drawbacks What are knee wraps? The knee wrap is similar to the wrist wrap regarding the logic that applies to both. Knee wraps are also to an “Ace” bandage, except that they are much thicker and stronger. The elastic material that is used to make the knee wrap is the same found in wrist wraps. The allowed width for knee wraps is 8 cm (3 inches), although they can sometimes be 2.0 meter, 2.5 meters or even 3.5 meters long. Advantages of using knee wraps The primary…

and steel is a major to transfer the load to any structure. The decrease in bond strength between the concrete and steel leads to the failure of the structural member. Lap splice of steel is the common connection n to transfer the loads from one steel bar to another to which it is connected. Fiber reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. In structural members like a beam, columns and slab…

Aeronautical materials must possess a high Young’s modulus to prevent shape deformation under stress, high resistance to chemical and thermal degradation, high glass transition temperature (Tg), impact strength, amongst numerous others which are more task specific.3 Advancements in polymer chemistry have resulted in a large number of aircraft moving from metallic materials to composite for their primary structures. The definition of a composite states that it is a new material with superior…
