Relative reactivities of potassium persulfate (KPS) and ferrous ammonium sulfate-potassium persulfate (FAS-KPS) systems, in aqueous medium, as initiators for grafting of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto chitin, were studied. ...

A major problem on modern dentistry is the recovery of bone defects of different etiologies. Biomaterials are used to improve the repair of these defects. Previous studies have shown positive effects of Laser Photobiomodulation ...

Polypropylene (PP) was functionalized in solution by grafting with monomethyl itaconate (MMI) by using xylene and decalin as solvents and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-buthylperoxy)hexane (Lup. 101) as radical initiator. The ...

Maxillomandibular reconstructions are traditionally performed by means of autogenous bone grafts collected from intraoral donor areas and extraoral donor areas such as clavicle, iliac bone, rib, and tibia. The calvarial ...

Grafting of polypropylene was carried out in both boiling xylene and decalin as solvent medium with itaconic acid (2-methylenesuccinic acid) as functional polar monomer using 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexane ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of the effect of nicotine on autogenous bone block grafts and to describe events in the initial healing phase and the differences in the ...
