In this article, we review the recent history of the development of dental CAD/CAM systems
for the fabrication of crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs), based on our 20 years of …

During the past decade, zirconia-based ceramics have been successfully introduced into
the clinic to fabricate fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), along with a dental computer-aided/…

Differently substituted flavanones were isolated from Leguminosae and their antibacterial
activity was comparatively studied against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)…

Long-term potentiation (LTP) at glutamatergic synapses is considered to underlie learning
and memory and is associated with the enlargement of dendritic spines. Because the …

Long-term potentiation of synapse strength requires enlargement of dendritic spines on
cerebral pyramidal neurons. Long-term depression is linked to spine shrinkage. Indeed, spines …

In Synechococcus PCC7942 cells grown in the dark, the concentrations of NAD(H) and
NADP(H) were 128 ± 2.5 and 483 ± 4.0 μm, respectively, while those in the cells under light …

Hf isotope compositions, coupled with Pb‐Sr‐Nd isotopes and trace element compositions,
for the Miocene to the Quaternary volcanic rocks from the NE Japan arc have documented …

We recently reported that the serum levels of indoxyl sulfate, a dietary protein metabolite, are
increased in both uremic rats and patients, and that the administration of indoxyl sulfate to …

We have recently demonstrated that indoxyl sulfate promotes the progression of glomerular
sclerosis in uremic rats. In the present study, we determined whether an oral adsorbent (AST-…

The present study assessed the mechanical properties of dental thermoplastic materials in
a simulated intraoral environment. Eight dental thermoplastic products – EVA (Bioplast), PE (…
