Accelerated Curing of Concrete01:25

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

548
Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

Temperature Measurement Sites

3.9K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

1.9K
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study found that LED curing lights can increase tooth pulp temperature during composite resin polymerization. The temperature rise depends on the light unit, resin presence, and exposure time.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Dental composite resins are polymerized using light-curing units (LCUs).
  • The exothermic reaction during polymerization can potentially cause thermal damage to dental pulp.
  • Understanding temperature changes is crucial for patient safety and restorative success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the thermal effects on tooth tissues from two different LED curing units during composite resin polymerization.
  • To test the hypothesis that no significant temperature increase occurs in the dental pulp.

Main Methods:

  • An in vitro study using human molars with thermocouples placed in the pulp chamber.
  • Temperature measurements were recorded on intact teeth and during composite resin curing with two LED LCUs.
  • Statistical analysis included ANOVA, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, and Pearson's chi-squared tests.

Main Results:

  • A significant temperature increase was observed in the pulp chamber when using composite resin compared to no resin.
  • One LED curing unit (Starlight PRO) demonstrated a lower temperature increase than the other (Valo lamp) under similar conditions.
  • Temperature increases were higher during polymerization than in control groups without resin.

Conclusions:

  • LED curing units can induce a temperature rise in the dental pulp during composite resin polymerization.
  • The extent of temperature increase is influenced by the polymerization rate, exothermic reaction, LCU energy output, and exposure duration.
  • Clinical protocols should consider these thermal effects to prevent potential pulpal damage.
