TL;DR: Comparing the water sorption and modulus of elasticity of five experimental neat resins of increasing hydrophilicity, as ranked by their Hoy's solubility parameters and five commercial resins found all resins stored in water exhibited a time-dependent decrease in modulus that was proportional to their degree of water Sorption.

TL;DR: Adverse chemical interaction between catalytic components of chemically-cured composite and the tested single-step, self-etching adhesive was the major cause of reductions in bond strength, while adhesive permeability was a minor cause of bond strength reduction.

TL;DR: The extent of organic solvent and water retention in comonomer blends with different hydrophilicity after solvent evaporation is examined, and the extent of tracer penetration in polymerised films prepared from these resins is examined.

TL;DR: In the present review, skin anatomy and its barriers along with skin infection are discussed, and potential strategies for designing antimicrobial microneedles and their targeted therapy are outlined.

TL;DR: It was showed that significant dentoskeletal changes and improvements in dentofacial profile resulted from 6 months of treatment with maxillary expansion and protraction, which could be used in preorthopedic treatment planning.
