Abstract Background Bacterial microleakage is an important cause of apical periodontitis and endodontic treatment failure. This study aimed to assess the bacterial microleakage of nano-mineral trioxide aggregate (nano-MTA) as a sealer, Endoseal MTA, and GuttaFlow Bioseal sealers in atmospheric pressure, and simulated underwater diving and aviation conditions. Methods In this in vitro, experimental study, 180 extracted single-rooted teeth were cleaned and shaped, and were then randomly divided into three groups for single-cone obturation using Endoseal MTA, GuttaFlow Bioseal, or nano-MTA as a sealer. Each group was then randomly divided into three subgroups, and subjected to ambient atmospheric pressure, 2 atm pressure (to simulate underwater diving), and 0.5 atm pressure (to simulate aviation) using a custom-made pressure chamber. The teeth then underwent microbial leakage test using Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), and the percentage of samples showing microleakage was recorded for up to 1 month, and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results The three sealer groups were significantly different regarding bacterial microleakage (P < 0.05). The nano-MTA group showed significantly higher microleakage after 15 days than the other two groups (P = 0.006). The effect of pressure on bacterial microleakage was not significant in any sealer group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Within the limitations of this in vitro study, it may be concluded that single-cone obturation technique using nano-MTA as a sealer results in lower resistance to bacterial microleakage compared with the use of GuttaFlow Bioseal, and Endoseal MTA. Pressure changes in simulated underwater diving and aviation conditions had no significant effect on bacterial microleakage. Trial Registration Number This is not a human subject research.

<p><strong>ABSTRACT. </strong><em><strong>Background:</strong></em> The root canal filling technique named Hybrid-Mixed Condensation, combines the advantages of cold lateral and warm vertical condensation. The ability of avoiding microbial microleakage has not been proven. <em><strong>Purpose:</strong></em> To evaluate the differences of microbial microleakage using <em>Enterococcus faecalis</em>, in canals obturated with five different techniques: lateral, warm vertical, WaveOne® single cone, Guttacore®, and Hybrid-mixed condensation. <em><strong>Methods:</strong></em> 50 single-rooted human premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons were biomechanical prepared with primary file of WaveOne® system. Teeth were divided into 5 groups using different obturation techniques: single cone with WaveOne® Primary, lateral condensation using 2 % gutta-percha cones, Guttacore® 30, warm vertical condensation using down packing in a WaveOne® Primary cone and backfill with alpha gutapercha of Beefill®, and the hybrid mixed condensation modifying the lateral condensation with heat and a backfill using Beefill®. <em>Enterococcus faecalis</em> was inoculated in the coronal third and apices were immersed in brain heart infusion broth with phenol red incubated at 37 °C for 12 weeks. Microfiltration was determined with color change and turbidity of the medium. Specimens were observed by scanning electron microscopy. <em><strong>Results:</strong></em> Only 11 teeth (22 %) were positive for leakage. 46 % with single cone, 30 % with Guttacore®, 20 % with lateral condensation, 10 % with warm vertical condensation and no microleakage was found for Hybrid-Mixed Technique over the period of 12 weeks of study. <em><strong>Conclusion:</strong></em> Hybrid Mixed Technique showed to be the most efficient technique to get three-dimensional seal and prevent microbial contamination of canals in the endodontic therapy.</p>

SUMMARYThere is growing evidence that ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths play an important role in avian mate choice. One of the first experiments to support this idea showed that female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) prefer UV-reflecting males to males whose ultraviolet reflection has been removed. The effect was very strong despite little or no UV reflection from several plumage areas. However, it is not clear how the importance of the UV waveband compares to other regions of the bird-visible spectrum. We tested whether the response of female zebra finches to the removal of male UV reflection is greater than to the removal of other wavebands. We presented females with a choice of males whose appearance was manipulated using coloured filters. The filters removed single blocks of the avian visible spectrum corresponding closely to the spectral sensitivities of each of the zebra finch’s single cone classes. This resulted in males that effectively had no UV (UV−), no short-wave (SW−), no medium-wave (MW−) or no long-wave (LW−) plumage reflection. Females preferred UV− and SW− males. LW− and MW− males were least preferred, suggesting that female zebra finches show the greatest response to the removal of longer wavelengths. Quantal catches of the single cone types viewing body areas of the male zebra finch are presented for each treatment. Our study suggests it is important to consider the role of the UV waveband in avian mate choice in conjunction with the rest of the avian visible spectrum.

The synchronizer mechanism represents the essential component in manual, automatic manual, and dual-clutch transmissions. This paper describes a multibody dynamic model for analysis of a synchronizer mechanism subjected to different operational conditions. The three-dimensional multi-dynamic model is developed to predict the dynamic response of synchronizer, especially for calculation of synchronization time. For the purpose of validation, three different synchronizers (single-cone, double-cone, and triple-cone synchronizers) were used on the test rig machine. For the purpose of synchronizing time estimation, an analytical formulation is proposed. The results of the analytical and multibody dynamic analyses were compared with the experimental data, showing a good agreement. The results of analytical and numerical approaches show that the predicted time of synchronization is more precise than previous works. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the single-cone synchronizer, and the effect of tolerance dimension on the dynamic behavior of the synchronizer was reported.
