ABSTRACT
Marginal integrity is one of the most crucial aspects involved in the clinical longevity of resin composite restorations.Objective To analyze the marginal integrity of restorations produced with a model composite based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS).Material and Methods A base composite (B) was produced with an organic matrix with UDMA/TEGDMA and 70 wt.% of barium borosilicate glass particles. To produce the model composite, 25 wt.% of UDMA were replaced by POSS (P25). The composites P90 and TPH3 (TP3) were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Marginal integrity (%MI) was analyzed in bonded class I cavities. The volumetric polymerization shrinkage (%VS) and the polymerization shrinkage stress (Pss - MPa) were also evaluated.Results The values for %MI were as follows: P90 (100%) = TP3 (98.3%) = B (96.9%) > P25 (93.2%), (p<0.05). The %VS ranged from 1.4% (P90) to 4.9% (P25), while Pss ranged from 2.3 MPa (P90) to 3.9 MPa (B). For both properties, the composite P25 presented the worst results (4.9% and 3.6 MPa). Linear regression analysis showed a strong positive correlation between %VS and Pss (r=0.97), whereas the correlation between Pss and %MI was found to be moderate (r=0.76).Conclusions The addition of 25 wt.% of POSS in methacrylate organic matrix did not improve the marginal integrity of class I restorations. Filtek P90 showed lower polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress when compared to the experimental and commercial methacrylate composite.

Objetivo: avaliar a influência de forças laterais aplicadas sobre os pilares em relação aos dois tipos de parafusos utilizados (com e sem DLC), de um mesmo sistema de implante. Material e métodos: neste trabalho, 20 parafusos protéticos de titânio sem tratamento de superfície (Neodent, Curitiba-PR, Brasil) e 20 parafusos com tratamento de superfície à base de carbono (Neotorque/Neodent, Curitiba-PR, Brasil), submetidos ou não a uma pré-carga inicial, foram comparados quanto à sua resistência in vitro através da aplicação de força perpendicular ao pilar do tipo reto (máquina universal de ensaios mecânicos modelo EMIC DL100), fixado ao análogo do implante hexágono externo. Resultados: os resultados foram submetidos a testes estatísticos (Kruskal-Wallis), demonstrando não haver evidências para rejeitar a hipótese de igualdade entre os valores médios da força (N) entre os grupos (p-valor=0,2879). Uma grande variabilidade (desvio-padrão) entre as amostras pôde ser observada nos grupos dos parafusos Neotorque, onde o maior desvio-padrão foi encontrado no grupo dos parafusos Neotorque com pré-carga (99,89 N). O valor máximo de resistência foi verificado no grupo dos parafusos Neotorque com pré-carga (561,74 N). Conclusão: não há grande relevância clínica para a escolha de determinado parafuso, diante das forças perpendiculares aos componentes protéticos.
Objective: to evaluate the influence of preload and lateral forces on two abutment screw types. Material and methods: Twenty titanium prosthetic screws (non-DLC, Neodent) and (DLC-coated, Neotorque) were fastened to a external hexagon implant analog and submitted or not to an initial preload. After, their in vitro resistance were verified under perpendicular loading (universal testing machine - EMIC DL100). Results: the Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated no differences between DLC and non-DLC groups (p=0.2879). A considerable standard deviation value was observed at the Neotorque screws, mainly for groups with applied preload (561.74N). Conclusion: within the limits of this study, the choice of prosthetic screw has no clinical implications based on perpendicular forces.
