Objective: Since the post-rinsing time is inconsistently recommended, this study aims to investigate the effect of post-rinsing time on the flexural strength and cytotoxicity of an stereolithographically (SLA) printed orthodontic splint material.
Methods: SLA-printed specimens were ultrasonically rinsed with isopropanol (IPA) for 5 min, 12 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 h, and 12 h, respectively. Surface characterization was conducted by scanning electron microscopy and roughness measurements. Flexural strength was evaluated using a three-point bending test. Cytotoxicity was determined by direct contact test and extract test. For both tests, cell viability (live/dead staining) and cell metabolic activity (CCK-8 assay) were evaluated. Additionally, water sorption and water solubility were tested to analyze the mass loss from immersion.
Results: No apparent surface alterations could be detected on the samples post-rinsed for less than 1 h. In contrast, when the post-rinsing time was prolonged to 12 h, surface fissures could be observed. Flexural strength linearly decreased with increasing post-rinsing time. All post-processed specimens did not show an obvious cytotoxic effect.
Significance: The removal of cytotoxic methacrylate monomers by post-rinsing with IPA could be achieved in 5 min. Extending post-rinsing time could not improve the cytocompatibility of the SLA-printed orthodontic splint material, and may result in a decrease in flexural strength.

Ammonia (NH) has been shown to be a key biomarker for a wide variety of diseases, such as hepatic and chronic kidney diseases (CKD), and cancers. It also has relevance to the oral health research area, and, hence, its determination in appropriate biofluids and tissues is of much importance. However, since it contains exchangeable >N-H protons, its analysis via H NMR spectroscopy, which is a widely employed technique in untargeted metabolomic studies, is rendered complicated.

Objective: In this study, the in-vivo effect of an antiseptic mouth rinse with Octenisept plus phenoxyethanol (OCT + PE) on the oral SARS-CoV-2 load was investigated.
Material And Methods: In eight COVID-19 patients, saliva samples were obtained before mouth rinsing and at five time points post rinsing with OCT + PE ( = 47 saliva samples in total). SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected and quantified by RT-qPCR and virus isolation in cell culture was performed to assess for infectivity.

Purpose: This study investigates the effect of different post-rinsing times and methods on the trueness and precision of denture base resin manufactured through stereolithography.
Materials And Methods: Ninety clear photopolymer resin specimens were fabricated and divided into nine groups (n = 10) based on rinsing times and methods. All specimens were rinsed with 99% isopropanol alcohol for 5, 10, and 15 min using three methods-automated, ultrasonic cleaning, and hand washing.

Oily water production is one of the many drawbacks of petroleum and several other industries. Finding effective ways for the treatment of produced water remain one of the main areas of interest in membrane sciences. Albeit the many advantages of membrane technology, they suffer from the unavoidable problem of fouling, which results from the accumulation of dispersed materials at the surface of membranes.
