Rheological and drug release properties of oil gels containing colloidal silicon dioxide.

The rheological properties of oil gels prepared by dispersing colloidal silica in n-dodecane and 1-dodecanol were examined. The differences in gel strength using these two media were accounted for by the difference in the extent of hydrogen bond formation between the silanol groups on the silica surface. The incorporation of methyl salicylate further modified the rheological properties of the gels. The drug was capable of hydrogen bonding with silanol groups in the n-dodecane gels, which increase gel strength at low concentrations; at high concentrations, the drug acted as a plasticizer. In 1-dodecanol systems, the drug acted solely as a plasticizer. Adsorption studies showed that methyl salicylate was adsorbed only on the silica particles in the n-dodecane medium. Interaction of the drug with the silanol groups in the n-dodecane systems did not appear to effect methyl salicylate release from the gels.

Dental materials: 1995 literature review.

This critical review of the published literature on dental materials for the year 1995 has been compiled by the Dental Materials Panel of the United Kingdom. It continues the series of annual reviews started in 1973 and published in the Journal of Dentistry. Emphasis has been placed upon publications which report upon the materials science or clinical performance of the materials. The review has been divided by accepted materials classifications (fissure sealants, glass polyalkenoate cements, resin composites, dentine bonding, dental amalgam, endodontic materials, casting alloys, investment materials, resin-bonded bridges and ceramo-metallic restorations, all ceramic restorations, denture base and soft lining materials, impression materials, dental implants, orthodontic materials and biomechanics). Three hundred and thirty articles published in 68 titles have been reviewed.

Measurement of misfit at the implant-prosthesis interface: an experimental method using a coordinate measuring machine.

Measurement of misfit at the implant-prosthesis interface is a difficult procedure. One factor common to all methods that attempt to measure 3-dimensional distortion to the micron level is the difficulty in providing verifiably consistent reference points between individual measurement sets. Consequently, the majority of studies use a relative distortion model in which the coordinate reference system is integral to the framework, thus limiting the value of the data gathered. In the method described, the datum plane and the coordinate reference system were set up external to the framework and could be re-established between measurement sets in a verifiable manner.

Effects of electrobrightening on the fit surface of cobalt-chromium RPD frameworks.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare 3 different electrobrightening techniques and 3 electrolytic solutions in their effects upon the fit surface of cast cobalt-chromium frameworks. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty cast cobalt-chromium frameworks, which were subsequently divided into batches of 10, were prepared according to a standard protocol. Three electrobrightening techniques were tested initially using a single brand of electrolyte (Croform) and a batch of 10 frameworks per technique. The loss of metal by weight was determined from the fit surface of each casting. The least corrosive technique of these 3 was used again with 2 other brands of electrolyte (Nobilium and E501) in a repetition of the protocol. The fit surfaces of 8 random samples cut from each batch of electrobrightened castings were viewed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS: Statistical analysis applying a one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni's multiple comparison of means test demonstrated that one immersion of the framework for 10 minutes at 1 amp when used in conjunction with Nobilium electrolyte removed the least metal (P = 0.001). The SEM study suggested that the Nobilium electrolyte also produced the smoothest surface. CONCLUSION: Electrobrightening techniques affect the amount of metal removed, and the electrolytic solution used influences the resultant surface.
