The aim of this work is to identify a substitute for imported standardized sand for determining the strength class of cements using local sands. To this end, three (03) local sands (Manga, Kaya and Dori) were characte...
This work was devoted to the study of the physico-chemical properties of two clay minerals from the Mountain District (West Côte d'Ivoire) referenced ME1 and ME2. These samples were characterized by the experimental t...

This study investigated the osteogenic performance of new brushite cements obtained from Li+-dopedβ-tricalcium phosphate as a promising strategy for bone regeneration.Lithium(Li+)is a promising trace element to encou...
The formation of polyacids in a glass-ionomer cement was computationally modeled. The polyacid modelled is an oligomer made up of three molecules: acrylic acid, itaconic acid and an additional molecule that acts as a ...
Lateral root perforations are unfortunate procedures during endodontic treatment and often lead to tooth extraction. Conditioning factors such as time, size, location, inappropriate disinfection and sealing, are indis...
In the EU’s long and complicated history,a common fi nancial policy is one of the most sensitive issues as its member states have different agendas and interests to defend.When the EU Special Summit started in Brusse...
