Statement Of Problem: Intraoral repair techniques prevent unnecessary replacement of ceramic restorations, thereby increasing the survival rate. However, adhesion between ceramics and the composite resin is challenging and how different protocols influence adhesion is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the influence of different protocols on repairing glass-ceramic surfaces with composite resins.
Material And Methods: PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and Embase electronic databases were searched to select studies comparing bond strength values or survival rates of glass-ceramic repaired with composite resins using different surface treatment protocols. No publication year or language restriction was applied. Data sets were extracted from all included studies, and the mean differences calculated. A 95% confidence interval was calculated by using the random effect model (Rev Man 5.4).
Results: The search identified 5037 studies, and 165 were assessed for eligibility. Finally, 123 in vitro studies were included in the systematic review and 48 in the meta-analysis. Considering different glass-ceramics, bond strength tests, and aged or not aged specimens, 37 meta-analyses found the effect of repair protocols: only adhesive, silane plus adhesive alone or preceded by hydrofluoric (HF) acid, airborne-particle abrasion (APA) with AlO particles, silica-coated APA (SCAPA), diamond rotary instrument (DRI), and laser irradiation (LI).
Conclusions: For feldspathic porcelain, HF acid, APA, SCAPA, or DRI improved the repair micromechanical retention; applying silane is essential to HF-conditioned surfaces but the use of adhesive is optional when silane is applied. Results for leucite and lithium disilicate were inconclusive in terms of suggesting a treatment other than HF acid plus silane and adhesive applications.

Mechanoresponsive molecular devices are capable of exhibiting dynamic responses to external mechanical stimuli, enabling applications in smart materials, nano-devices, and flexible electronics. However, energy conversion induced by mechanical stimuli requires efficient energy dissipation mechanisms. Traditional methods often involve bond breaking or incomplete energy release, which can lead to device failure during continuous operations.

Adhesives are important in creating multilayer products, such as in packaging and construction. Most current hot-melt adhesives such as poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) and polyurethanes lack chemical recyclability and do not easily de-bond, complicating recycling. Here, we achieved tunable adhesive properties of chemically recyclable polyolefin-like multiblock copolymers through regulating the incorporation of crystalline hard blocks, amorphous soft blocks, and ester content highlighted by adhesive strengths up to 6.

This study aimed to determine the influence of air abrasion on the shear bond strength (SBS) of universal adhesives when using different abrasive powders. The AquaCare Twin served as the injection device. The prepared bovine dentin specimens were air- abraded with alumina particles or bioactive glass before applying the universal adhesive (All Bond Universal, Clearfil Universal Bond Quick ER, or Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive).

Photophysical studies on the interaction of small molecules with various forms of nucleic acids are attracting attention nowadays in order to delineate the molecular level mechanism of various biological processes occurring in vivo. Herein, we employed vivid steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to elucidate the detailed characterization of the binding interaction of a biologically active cationic dye thioflavin T (ThT) with double and triple helical forms of RNA - A.U duplex and U.

Aiming at the problems such as large dust in each production process of open-pit mines, insufficient water resistance of the curing layer of dust control materials, and poor mechanical strength, this research applied the network generated by Schiff base reaction between oxidized starch (OS) and gelatin (GEL) as the basis, and combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and calcium chloride (CaCl). This material improves the problem of poor dust suppression effect caused by the environment of open-pit coal mines. It was found that the large number of amino groups contained in GEL attack the carbon atoms in the carbonyl group of OS to form carbon-nitrogen double bonds, generating Schiff bases as the crosslinking network, which enhanced the water resistance of the polymers.
