Properties of the "Orgamax" osteoplastic material made of a demineralized allograft bone

We investigated properties of the “Orgamax” osteoplastic material, which was produced from a demineralized bone, in the treatment of extensive caries, in particular chronic pulpitis of the permanent teeth with unformed roots in children. The “Orgamax” osteoplastic material consists of demineralized bone chips, a collagen additive, and antibiotics. The surface morphology of the “Orgamax” osteoplastic materialis macroporous, with the maximum pore size of 250 [mu]m, whereas the surface morphology of the major component of “Orgamax”, demineralized bone chips, is microporous, with a pore size of 10-20 [mu]m. Material “Orgamax” is used in the treatment of complicated caries, particularly chronic pulpitis of permanent teeth with unformed roots in children. “Orgamax” filling a formed cavity exhibits antimicrobial properties, eliminates inflammation in the dental pulp, and, due to its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, undergoes gradual resorption, stimulates regeneration, and provides replacement of the defect with newly formed tissue. The dental pulp viability is completely restored, which ensures the complete formation of tooth roots with root apex closure in the long-term period

VISCOSITY OF TERNARY SOLUTIONS COMPOSED OF PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ETHANOL AND WATER

This paper presents the experimental data on the kinematic viscosity of water / ethanol / propylene glycol solutions that are prospective as coolants. An experimental setup with capillary viscometers was used to measure the kinematic viscosity of samples in the temperature range from 243K to 303K and in the wide range of mass fractions of components. Experimental uncertainty of the obtained experimental data does not exceed 0.4 %. Solutions compositions were chosen according to needs of the refrigeration industry in order to provide a possibility of their application at temperatures 233 K and higher. The new model for prediction of the kinematic viscosity of coolants within wide interval of reduced temperatures 0.1 ≤   ≤ 0.6 (  is the pseudocritical temperature) based on the limited experimental data both for pure substances and aqueous solutions of mono- and polyalcohols is presented in paper. </em
