ABSTRACT

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the microhardness, diametral tensile strength, compressive strength and the rheological properties of self-adhesive versus conventional resin cements. Methods: Specimens of a conventional (RelyX ARC) and 3 self-adhesive (RelyX U200, Maxcem Elite, Bifix SE) types of resin cements were prepared. The Knoop test was used to assess the microhardness, using a Microhardness Tester FM 700. For the diametral tensile strength test, a tensile strength was applied at a speed of 0.6 mm/minute. A universal testing machine was used for the analysis of compressive strength and a thermo-controlled oscillating rheometer was used for the Rheology test. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05) were used for data analysis. Results:According to microhardness analysis, all the cements were statistically similar (p>0.05), except for Maxcem that presented lower hardness compared with the other cements in relation to the top surface (p<0.05). In the diametral tensile strength test, Relyx U200 and RelyX ARC cements were statistically similar (p>0.05), presented higher value when compared to the Maxcem and Bifix cements (p<0.05). The compressive strength of RelyX ARC and Maxcem Elite cements was statistically higher than RelyX U200 and Bifix cements (p<0.05). Regarding the rheology test, Maxcem Elite and RelyX ARC cements showed a high modulus of elasticity. Conclusions: The self-adhesive cements presented poorer mechanical properties than conventional resin cement. Chemical structure and types of monomers employed interfere directly in the mechanical properties of resin cements

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Debris buildup on the bracket-wire interface can influence friction. Cleansing brackets with air-powder polishing can affect this process. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frictional force and amount of debris remaining on orthodontic brackets subjected to prophylaxis with air-powder polishing. Methods: Frictional force and debris buildup on the surface of 28 premolar brackets were evaluated after orthodontic treatment. In one hemiarch, each bracket was subjected to air-powder polishing (n = 14) for five seconds, while the contralateral hemiarch (n = 14) served as control. Mechanical friction tests were performed and images of the polished bracket surfaces and control surfaces were examined. Wilcoxon test was applied for comparative analysis between hemiarches at p < 0.05. Results: Brackets that had been cleaned with air-powder polishing showed lower friction (median = 1.27 N) when compared to the control surfaces (median = 4.52 N) (p < 0.01). Image analysis showed that the control group exhibited greater debris buildup (median = 2.0) compared with the group that received prophylaxis with air-powder polishing (median = 0.5) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Cleansing orthodontic brackets with air-powder polishing significantly reduces debris buildup on the bracket surface while decreasing friction levels observed during sliding mechanics.


RESUMO Introdução: o acúmulo de detritos na interface braquete-arco pode influenciar no atrito, mas a limpeza dos braquetes usando jatos de bicarbonato de sódio pode interferir nesse processo. Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a força de atrito e a quantidade de detritos remanescentes em braquetes ortodônticos submetidos à profilaxia com jatos de bicarbonato de sódio. Material e Métodos: avaliou-se, ao final do tratamento ortodôntico, a força de atrito e o acúmulo de detritos na superfície de 28 braquetes de pré-molares. Em uma hemiarcada, os braquetes foram jateados com bicarbonato de sódio (n = 14) por 5 segundos, enquanto a hemiarcada contralateral serviu de controle (n = 14). Foram realizados ensaios mecânicos de atrito e análise imagiológica dos braquetes de ambas as hemiarcadas, a jateada e a controle. O teste de Wilcoxon foi utilizado para a análise comparativa entre as hemiarcadas, com p < 0,05. Resultados: os braquetes submetidos à limpeza com jatos de bicarbonato de sódio apresentaram menor atrito (mediana = 1,27N), quando comparados aos do lado controle (mediana = 4,52N) (p < 0,01). A análise imagiológica demonstrou que o grupo controle apresentou maior acúmulo de detritos (mediana = 2,0), em comparação ao grupo que recebeu profilaxia com jatos de bicarbonato (mediana = 0,5) (p < 0,05). Conclusão: a limpeza dos braquetes ortodônticos por meio do jateamento com bicarbonato de sódio reduz significativamente o acúmulo de detritos na superfície deles, bem como os níveis de atrito observados durante a mecânica de deslizamento.
