    • Snusbruk blant avgangselever ved videregående skoler i Tromsø 

      Jakobsen, Sandra Marie; Hansen, Katrine Gullhav; Johansen, Werner; Johansen, Lisa Søreide (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-16)
      Bakgrunn I perioden 1995-2005 økte markedsandelen for snus fra 5 % (286 tonn) til 11 % (587 tonn) av den totale tobakksomsetningen i Norge (1). I 2004 ble røyking på offentlig sted forbudt i Norge, og kan ha bidratt til økt bruk av snus. Produksjonen av snus har også forandret seg, og stadig flere produkter av typen porsjonssnus, med ulik størrelse, smak og innpakning har kommet på markedet, og ...

      Pedersen, Camilla; Steffenakk, Siv; Henriksen, Sara Anette; Thon, Elizabeth (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-29)
      Intraoral radiographs are important tools for diagnosing, monitoring and evaluating the treatment of infrabony lesions. However, different beam angulations between exposures may give a wrong interpretation when evaluating them. A technique that is useful for monitoring bone loss and regeneration is the use of subtraction radiography. This technique is also very sensitive for changes in projection ...

    • Suboptimal light curing and direct exposure to water of two contemporary composites: degree of conversion, sorption, solubility, and Knoop hardness 

      Wikant, Aksel; Ørtengren, Ulf Thore; Hakeberg, Magnus; Gedde, Ulf Wiel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-18)
      The water sorption and solubility of two polymer resin‐based dental composite materials were assessed in order to evaluate the effects of immediate post‐cure water exposure on the water sensitivity of the composites. Each material was tested with two different light curing setups. The radiant exposure of the two curing setups differed by a factor of 5. After exposure to water and subsequent drying, ...
