The Effect of Shear Bond Strengths and the Mode of Bond Failure in Metal and Ceramic Brackets Bonded with Fluoride Releasing Composites: An in vitro Comparative Study
Abstract: One of the standard measures in the prevention of enamel demineralization is the use of Fluoride. Fixed orthodontic attachments act as a retentive area for plaque accumulation that leads to development of white spot lesions (WSLs). Incorporation of fluoride into adhesives for bracket bonding inhibitsdemineralization during fixed orthodontic treatment. However, the addition of fluoride into orthodontic adhesives may affect the mechanical properties such asshear bond strength (SBS). The present study …

Generative Design of Bioactive Orthopedic Composites for Fracture Repair Using an Integrated Conditional GAN–Transformer Framework: A Multi-Objective Approach
Abstract: Orthopedic composite implants for fracture repair must simultaneously satisfy conflicting mechanical and biological demands: high fracture toughness, sufficient compressive stiffness, and bioactive surface chemistry enabling osteoblast adhesion and mineralization. Existing design approaches rely on trial-and-error experimentation, yielding sub-optimal trade-offs between these objectives. This paper presents an integrated conditional Generative Adversarial Network–Transformer (cGAN-T) framework for fully computational, multi-objective generative design of hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced polymer composite microstructures targeting Orthopedic fracture repair. A …
