Curing Methods

380
Concrete members with a small surface-to-volume ratio are cured by oiling and moistening the forms before casting the concrete member. These forms can be left in place for a prolonged period to prevent moisture loss, and can be wetted if made of a material suitable for wetting. If the forms are removed early, the concrete member is moistened and covered with polythene sheets to maintain moisture. For large horizontal concrete surfaces exposed to dry weather, a temporary covering is suspended...

Accelerated Curing of Concrete01:25

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

614
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Clinical Dentistry

    Background:

    • High-quality restorative care depends on understanding light-curing units (LCUs) and resin-based composite (RBC) polymerization.
    • Existing research indicates knowledge gaps among dental professionals, impacting clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess knowledge gaps and clinical practices concerning LCUs and RBC polymerization.
    • The study focused on dental students, general dentists, specialists, and consultants in Saudi Arabia.

    Main Methods:

    • A validated electronic questionnaire was used to gather data.
    • Data collected included demographics, LCU/RBC selection, polymerization knowledge, and clinical practices.

    Main Results:

    • A significant percentage of participants (63.9%) were unaware of their LCU irradiance, and 52.6% lacked knowledge of the emission spectrum.
    • Clinical practices, including maintenance and infection control, were suboptimal; only 7.9% performed daily irradiance checks.
    • While specialists showed better knowledge than students and general dentists, gaps persisted across all groups. 81% desired further education.

    Conclusions:

    • Deficiencies in LCU selection, photoinitiator compatibility awareness, and maintenance were prevalent.
    • Competency-based education and standardized protocols are vital for enhancing polymerization quality and restorative success.
    • Addressing these gaps is essential for safeguarding patient care in restorative dentistry.
