ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of surface changes in composite resins, when subjected to surface treatment by polishing and artificial accelerated aging. Methods: The changes were quantified through rugosimetric analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Five composite resins were used (Charisma, Herculite, TPH, Z-250 and Supreme) and for each one, 32 samples were made, which were subdivided into four groups according to the surface treatment received: polished and aged, polished not aged, unpolished and aged and unpolished but not aged (control). The samples were obtained through a Teflon matrix with a diameter of 9 mm and height of 2 mm. For the polishing, the Sof-Lex Pop-On system (3M) was used and to execute the artificial accelerated aging, the Artificial Aging Machine (Comexim) was used, in which a 192 hours cycle was established, corresponding to an aging of five years. The Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses were performed under magnifications of 250x, 500x, 1000x and 2000x. All 120 samples were subjected to rugosimetric analysis through three parallel readings of each sample surface.ResultsThe Kruskal Wallis statistical test showed statistically significant differences (p <0.05) only between the type TPH composite resins, polished and either with or without aging, for the average surface roughness.ConclusionThe results showed that, for surface roughness, only the polished TPH resin showed significant differences when comparing aged and non- aged specimens. In addition, all the composite resins showed lower measurements of surface roughness when subjected to polishing treatment and higher when subjected to Artificial Aging.
Objetivo: Avaliar a ocorrência de alterações superficiais em resinas compostas quando submetidas a tratamento superficial de polimento e envelhecimento artificial acelerado. Métodos: As alterações foram quantificadas através de análise rugosimétrica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Foram utilizadas cinco resinas compostas (Charisma, Herculite, TPH, Z-250 e Supreme), e para cada uma delas confeccionados 32 corpos de prova que foram subdivididos em quatro grupos de oito de acordo com o tratamento superficial que receberam, sendo: polidos envelhecidos, polidos não envelhecidos, não polidos envelhecidos e não polidos não envelhecidos (controle). Os corpos de prova tinham dimensões de 9mm de diâmetro por 2mm de altura e foram obtidos através de uma matriz de teflon. Para o polimento empregou-se o sistema Sof-Lex Pop-On (3M) e para a realização do envelhecimento artificial utilizou-se a Máquina de Envelhecimento Artificial C-UV da Comexim na qual foi fixado um ciclo de 192 horas, que corresponde a cinco anos de envelhecimento. As análises ao Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura foram realizadas com magnificações de 250x, 500x, 1,000x e 2.000x. Os 120 corpos de prova foram submetidos à análise rugosimétria através de três leituras paralelas na superfície de cada amostra. Resultados: O teste estatístico de Kruskal Wallis mostrou diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p<0,05) somente entre as resinas compostas do tipo TPH polidas com ou sem envelhecimento para a rugosidade superficial média. Conclusão: Os resultados permitiram concluir que na rugosidade superficial somente a resina TPH com polimento, mostrou diferenças significantes quando comparada envelhecida e não envelhecida e que todas as resinas compostas apresentaram medidas menores de rugosidade superficial, quando submetidas a polimento e maiores quando submetidas a Envelhecimento Artificial.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar la influencia del Envejecimiento Artificial Acelerado sobre la resistencia a compresión de tres resinas compuestas. Los especimenes fueron confeccionados con auxilio de una matriz de nylon utilizando la técnica incremental, en cuanto a la manipulación se siguieron las instrucciones del fabricante , en total fueron confeccionados 48 especimenes utilizando las resina compuestas Filtek Supreme (3M-ESPE), Charisma (Heraeus-Kulzer) e Filtek Z-250 (3M-ESPE). Transcurridas 24 horas, 24 especimenes, 8 de cada material, fueron sometidos a ensayos mecánicos de compresión en la Máquina Universal de Ensayos (EMIC DL-2000) con una célula de carga de 2000Kgf y velocidad de 0,05mm/min. Los otros 24 cuerpos de prueba fueron sometidos a envejecimiento artificial acelerado en la máquina de C-UV Sistema Acelerado de Envejecimiento para no metálicos - ASTM-G-53 por 192 horas, lo que equivale a aproximadamente 5 años de envejecimiento en condiciones clínicas normales, posteriormente sometidas a ensayos mecánicos de compresión. Se realizo el análisis estadístico comparativo entre los resultados obtenidos utilizando el test de ANOVA/Tukey (P<0,05) y fue verificado que no hubo diferencia estadística en la resistencia a compresión entre las resinas Z-250 y Filtek Supreme envejecidas y no envejecidas. Entretanto se presento diferencia estadística entre las muestras confeccionadas con la resina Charisma envejecida y no envejecida
The objective of this work was to verify the influence of the Sped up Artificial Aging in the compressive strength of 3 composed resins. It was used a matrix of nylon for confection of 48 bodies of test with 8,0mm of height and 4,0mm of width, having been 16 with the Filtek resin Supreme(3M), 16 with Charisma (Heraeus Kulzer) and 16 with Filtek Z-250(3M). For the confection of the test bodies the incremental technique was used respecting the time of curing indicated for the manufacturers. Passed 24 hours, half of the bodies of test of each material was submitted to the compressive assay in the Universal Machine of Assays (EMIC DL-2000) with load cell of 2000Kgf and speed of 0,05mm/min. To another half it was submitted to the artificial aging sped up in the C-UV machine Sped up System of Aging for not metallic - ASTM-G-53 for 192 hours that is equivalent approximately the 5 years of aging and later submitted to the compressive assay. Analysis was become fullfilled comparative statistics between the gotten results using ANOVA/Tukey (P<0.05). It was verified that it did not have difference statistics in the compressive strength between the resins aged and not aged Z-250 and Filtek Supreme. However difference occurred statistics between aged and not aged the Charisma resin
