Quest For Excellence: The Arthur A. Dugoni Story, Martin Brown

University of the Pacific Books

Born in San Francisco in 1925, Art Dugoni's immigrant parents and grandparents taught him that in America, the "impossible" was always possible.

With an early life shadowed by the Great Depression and the Second World War, he entered the Navy's V-12 officer's program at Gonzaga University as a pre-dent student, in 1943. There, he met a strikingly: beautiful seventeen-year-old named Katherine Groo. For Art, it was love at first sight.

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Objectives: The purpose of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the effects of three different surface preparation methods on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded to zirconia and determine the most appropriate method. Methods: 45 zirconia and 30 leucite-reinforced porcelain mandibular premolar crowns were divided into 5 groups and received the following surface preparations: 37% phosphoric acid and non-hydrolyzed silane, 4% hydrofluoric acid and hydrolyzed silane, microetch with 50μ Al ₂ O₃ particles. A universal adhesive primer containing MDP was applied and the brackets were bonded with a bis-GMA composite resin. Shear bond strength (SBS) at bond …

Gene Expression Profiles Of Cytokines During Osteogenic Differentiation Of Human Gingiva Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Reem Almashat

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

A thesis submitted to the College of Dental Medicine of Nova Southeastern University of the degree of Master of Science in Dentistry.

Background: Therapeutic management of bone loss in the craniofacial region as a consequence of trauma, surgery or congenital malformations presents a clinical challenge. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), due to their inherent plasticity, are potential candidates for cell based therapies for the repair and reconstruction of craniofacial bone tissue. Guided differentiation of stem cells to osteogenic precursors is marked by spatio-temporally regulation of gene expression profiles including that of transcription factors, cytokines, extracellular matrix proteins, enzymes and several signaling …

Effect Of 35% Sodium Ascorbate On Microtensile Bond Strength Of Composite Resin Immediately After Bleaching, Eman Ismail

Student Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Objective: to assess the effect of 35% sodium ascorbate (SA) (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) on microtensile bond strength of dentin immediately after bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide (Pola Office/SDI). Methods: Twenty-five sound human 3rd molars were collected in order to obtain one hundred twenty five specimens. Teeth were randomly divided into five groups: Grp1 …
