SHEAR BOND STRENGTH OF STAINLESS STEEL BRACKETS BONDED TO PORCELAIN SURFACE TREATED WITH 1.23% ACIDULATED PHOSPHATE FLUORIDE GEL COMPARED TO HYDRO FLUORIC ACID WITH SILANE COUPLING AGENT (IN VITRO COMPARATIVE STUDY)

Shear bond strength of stainless steel brackets bonded to porcelain surface treated with 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel compared to hydro fluoric acid with silane coupling agent (In vitro comparative study)

Background: With the increasing demands for adult orthodontics, a growing need arises to bond attachments to porcelain surfaces.Optimal adhesion to porcelain surface should allow orthodontic treatment without bond failure but not jeopardize Night Moisturizers porcelain integrity after debonding.The present study was carried out to compare the shear

The Characteristics of Chemosensory and Opsin Genes in Newly Emerged and Sexually Mature Agrilus planipennis, an Important Quarantine Forest Beetle

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is a highly destructive quarantine pest.The olfactory and visual systems of A.planipennis play different but critical roles at newly emerged and sexually mature stages; however, the molecular basis underlying these differences remain unclear.Consequently, based on deep transcriptome sequencing, we e
