A protocol to expose bare fibers on the composite surface by eliminating resin rich area is presented. The fibers are exposed during fabrication of the composites, not by the post surface treatment. The exposed carbon composites exhibit high electrical conductivity in the through-thickness direction and high mechanical property.

Source: Schaeffer, J. W., Chandler, et al. Detection of Viruses from Bioaerosols Using Anion Exchange Resin. J. Vis. Exp. (2018).This video demonstrates the detection of viruses from bioaerosols using an anion exchange resin. A liquid impinger containing the resin is used to capture viruses from the air. The resin is collected and treated with a virus lysis buffer containing carrier RNA. The lysate is transferred to a microcentrifuge tube for viral RNA isolation, followed by qRT-PCR to amplify...
FAQs
Light activation converts the material’s monomers into a hardened polymer network. This transformation changes the placed composite from a shapeable material into a restoration capable of supporting repaired tooth structure and restoring function. Adequate polymerization is therefore central to maintaining the intended contour and mechanical integrity after placement.
The resin matrix provides the continuous material that undergoes polymerization, while glass or ceramic filler particles reinforce that matrix. Their combination produces a tooth-colored restorative material that can be shaped to replace damaged structure. This composition supports both functional repair and the esthetic goals associated with preserving a natural-looking tooth.
Incremental placement allows the clinician to build the restoration in manageable portions rather than shaping the entire material at once. Each addition can be adapted and contoured before the final form is completed. This approach helps improve adaptation to the prepared tooth structure and supports more controlled development of the restoration’s contour.
The clinician first places the material against the damaged tooth structure, then shapes and adapts it, commonly in increments. Light activation polymerizes the monomers into a hardened network. After placement, the restoration is finished and polished, producing its final contour and surface appearance while completing the functional and esthetic repair.
The adhesive interface must bond the composite to both enamel and dentin, creating the connection between the restoration and natural tooth structure. Moisture control supports this bonding process because contamination can compromise the interface. Since long-term performance depends on bonding and moisture control, these conditions are important for maintaining the restoration over time.
This treatment can support conservative management of caries as well as rehabilitation of fractured or otherwise damaged teeth. Its long-term performance depends on the quality of bonding, control of moisture during placement, occlusal forces acting on the restoration, and ongoing maintenance. These factors influence whether the repaired tooth continues to function and retain its appearance.
