The physical properties of silicone prostheses can be influenced by materials used for aesthetic detailing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two pigments and one opacifier on hardness, absorption, ...

Objective: The effect of artificial ageing on the hardness, absorption, solubility, and colour of soft denture liners was investigated.Materials and methods: Liner materials based on acrylic resin (Trusoft) or silicone ...

Soluble and bound peroxidases were isolated from the pulp of ripening papaya fruit. During papaya ripening, soluble and bound peroxidase activities increased 2.5- and 4.2-fold, respectively. Soluble peroxidase was purified ...

Aim: To evaluate antibiofilm activity against Enterococcus faecalis, pH and solubility of AH Plus, Sealer 26, Epiphany SE, Sealapex, Activ GP, MTA Fillapex (MTA-F) and an experimental MTA-based Sealer (MTA-S). Methodology: ...

Apoptosis mediated by the Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) has been implicated in rejection of solid organ allografts and it has been recently proposed that soluble forms of Fas could interfere with this interaction, blocking apoptosis. ...

Pharmaceutical cocrystals have emerged as a useful strategy to improve the aqueous solubility of poorly water soluble drugs by aiming to enhance their oral absorption and bioavailability. Aqueous cocrystal solubility can ...

Brazilian soils predominantly consist of iron and aluminum oxides and have a low phosphorus content. The present study was carried out in order to assess the status of phosphate fractions in pasture, forest and agricultural ...

This study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP) with and without fluoride (F) on the concentration of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and F in hydroxyapatite (HA). Synthetic HA ...
