premii Ad Astra

Asociația Ad Astra a anunțat câștigătorii Premiilor Ad Astra 2022: http://premii.ad-astra.ro/. Proiectul și-a propus identificarea și popularizarea modelelor de succes, a rezultatelor excepționale ale cercetătorilor români din țară și din afara ei.

Asociatia Ad Astra a cercetatorilor romani lanseaza BAZA DE DATE A CERCETATORILOR ROMANI DIN DIASPORA. Scopul acestei baze de date este aceea de a stimula colaborarea dintre cercetatorii romani de peste hotare dar si cu cercetatorii din Romania. Cercetatorii care doresc sa fie nominalizati in aceasta baza de date sunt rugati sa trimita un email la cristian.presura@gmail.com

Rezumat:

Sealant materials are typically employed in dentistry in order to prevent the development of cavities on the teeth. They prevent bacterial adhesion to enamel, thus arresting the development of demineralization and of caries. In this study the critical zone of the interface between different sealant materials and the results of the dental work for the teeth processed were investigated ex vivo using Swept Source (SS) Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Optical inspection and X-ray investigation revealed no defects, while SS-OCT proved capable to asses exactly the position, the nature, and the dimensions of each type of these defects. Specifically, different failures were targeted into the structure of pit and fissure sealants, including bubbles, internal cracks, structural defects of sealant material, and structural defects of enamel with uncovered sealant material and enamel-sealant interface (marginal integrity and marginal adaptation of dental sealant). The investigation of the possible types of defects that may appear into this dental interface was thus accomplished – for the dental practitioner.
