EFFECT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ON OPTICAL AND SURFACE PROFILOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF A UNIVERSAL SINGLE SHADE DENTAL COMPOSITE: AN IN-VITRO STUDY

Effect of alcoholic beverages on optical and surface profilometric properties of a universal single shade dental composite: an in-vitro study

This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the changes in color stability and surface roughness of a universal single-shade dental composite, Omnichroma on immersion in different alcoholic beverages.Eighty-four Palfique Omnichroma (Tokuyama Dental Corporation, Japan) dental composite discs were fabricated and categorized into three groups according to t

Differential expression and function of PDE8 and PDE4 in effector T cells: Implications for PDE8 as a drug target in inflammation.

Abolishing the inhibitory signal of intracellular cAMP is a prerequisite for effector T (Teff) cell function.The regulation of cAMP 15-eg2373cl within leukocytes critically depends on its degradation by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs).We have previously shown that PDE8A, a PDE isoform with 40-100-fold greater affinity for cAMP than PDE4
