ABSTRACT
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different polishing protocols on surface roughness and morphology of lithium disilicate ceramics (IPS e.max CAD). Fifty ceramic bars (2.0x3.0x2.5 mm) were produced and randomly divided into five groups (n=10), according to surface treatments: C: Control; Cer: Ceramaster (60 s); CW: cloth wheel with large-grit diamond (30 s) + cloth wheel with fine-grit diamond paste (30 s); E: grey Exa-Cerapol (20 s) + pink Exa-Cerapol (20 s) + Cerapol Super (20 s); F: Felt wheel with large-grit diamond paste (30 s) + Felt wheel with fine-grit diamond paste (30 s). The samples were evaluated quantitatively for surface roughness (Ra) and qualitatively by SEM, at different moments: initial (prior to roughening), after roughening and after polishing procedures. Ra means were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p<0.05). After the different polishing protocols, no statistically significant differences were observed between the Cer and E groups (p=0.6347), E and CW groups (p=0.1366), and CW and FW groups (p=0.5433). Comparing different stages in the same group, it was possible to observe that CW (p<0.0001) and FW groups (p<0.0001) showed significant differences. SEM analysis revealed that both Cer and E groups exhibited a surface morphological pattern similar to that of control group. All polishing systems were effective in reducing the surface roughness of the studied ceramic type.
Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes protocolos de polimento sobre a rugosidade e morfologia superficial de uma cerâmica à base de dissilicato de lítio (IPS e.max CAD). Foram confeccionadas 50 barras cerâmicas (2,0x3,0x2,5 mm), separadas aleatoriamente em cinco grupos (n=10), conforme os tratamentos de superfície: C: Controle; BC: Borracha Ceramaster (60 s); RP: Roda de pano impregnado granulação grossa (30 s) + Roda de pano impregnado granulação fina (30 s); BE: Borracha Exa-Cerapol cinza (20 s) + Borracha Exa-Cerapol rosa (20 s) + Borracha Cerapol Super (20 s); RF: Roda de feltro com pasta diamantada grossa (30 s) + roda de feltro com pasta diamantada fina (30 s). As amostras foram avaliadas quantitativamente quanto à rugosidade superficial (Ra) e qualitativamente em MEV, em diferentes momentos: inicialmente (antes da asperização), após asperização e após os polimentos. As médias de Ra foram submetidas aos testes estatísticos ANOVA (two-way) e Tukey (p<0,05). Após os diferentes protocolos de polimento, não foi possível observar diferenças significativas entre os grupos BC e BE (p=0,6347), entre BE e RP (p=0,1366) e RP e RF (p=0,5433). Comparando as diferentes etapas de um mesmo grupo foi possível observar que os grupos RP (p<0,0001) e RF (p<0,0001) apresentaram diferenças significativas. Em MEV, os grupos BC e BE apresentam um padrão morfológico superficial semelhante ao grupo controle. Todos os sistemas de polimento foram efetivos na redução da rugosidade de superfície para o mesmo padrão de cerâmica.

The aim of this study was to report two cases of orthodontic extrusion performed prior to dental implant placement. The first one reports the case of a 57 year-old-female who presented internal root resorption in the left central incisor, and orthodontic extrusion of this element was indicated. The treatment lasted 24 weeks. At the end of this period, the dental implant was placed. The second clinical event refers to a patient of 66 years of age who had vertical fracture in the left central incisor. In this case, the orthodontic extrusion was conducted in 12 weeks. At the end of this period, the dental implant was placed and also the temporary crown, but without occlusal contact. Both cases reported consisted of the involvement of the left central incisor in the aesthetic area and low bone density. The cases reported demonstrated that orthodontic extrusion is a viable alternative to the aesthetic and functional reconstruction with prosthesis over dental implants...
A extrusão ortodôntica é um procedimento clínico utilizado no decorrer dos anos com a finalidade, dentre outras, de preservação e ganho de tecido ósseo para permitir a restauração estética e funcional. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo relatar dois casos de extrusão ortodôntica realizada previamente à colocação do implante dentário. O primeiro deles relata o caso de uma paciente de 57 anos de idade que apresentou reabsorção interna no incisivo central esquerdo sendo indicada a sua extrusão ortodôntica. O tratamento durou 24 semanas. Ao final deste período foi colocado o implante no local. O segundo caso clínico refere-se a um paciente de 66 anos de idade que apresentou fratura vertical no incisivo central esquerdo. Optou-se por realizar extrusão ortodôntica, por um período de 12 semanas. Finalizado este período, foi realizada a colocação de implante e provisório sem contato oclusal. Observou-se nestes relatos que ambos os casos apresentados consistiram no comprometimento do incisivo central esquerdo, em área estética e de pouca densidade óssea. Esses dois casos demonstraram a extrusão ortodôntica como uma alternativa viável para a reconstrução estética e funcional com prótese sobre implante...

Aim: Compare the effect of three post designs on the fracture resistance and failure modes of composite core - fiber post - crownless tooth sets. Materials and Methods: Ninety bovine incisors were selected and divided into nine groups of 10 specimens. The teeth were assigned to three groups based on the post design: Cylindrical, tapered, and double-tapered. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups in accordance with the diameter of the post: Small (No.1), medium (No.2), and large (No.3). The Panavia F system was used for post cementation. The specimens were mounted in acrylic resin blocks with a layer of silicone rubber covering the roots. A universal testing machine compressively loaded the specimens from the palatal side at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min and at an angle of 135Ί to the long axis of the teeth, until failure occurred. The failure mode was determined by a stereomicroscope inspection of all the specimens. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey test (P < 0.05). Results: The fracture resistance was affected by the type of post (P < 0.0001). A narrower diameter for all of the post systems allowed for higher resistance. The main failure mode in the large cylindrical group was catastrophic fractures, while the main failures in the other eight groups were favorable. Conclusion: Narrower diameter posts showed higher fracture resistance. The dominant failure pattern was repairable fracture, except for those with large cylindrical groups.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 percent peracetic acid for the disinfection of gutta-percha cones contaminated in vitro with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans and Bacillus subtilus (in spore form). Two hundred and twenty-five gutta-percha cones were contaminated with standardized suspensions of each microorganism and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The cones were divided into 10 experimental groups (n = 15), according to the microorganism tested and disinfection testing times. The disinfection procedure consisted of immersing each cone in a plastic tube containing the substance. The specimens remained in contact with the substance for 1 or 2.5 minutes. Afterwards, each cone was transferred to a 10 percent sodium thiosulphate solution (Na2S2O3) to neutralize the disinfectant. Microbial biofilms adhering to the cones were dispersed by agitation. Aliquots of 0.1 ml of the suspensions obtained were plated on Sabouraud dextrose agar, or brain and heart infusion agar, and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The results were expressed in colony forming units (CFU/ml) and the data were submitted to the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (level of significance at 0.05). A significant reduction was observed, after 1 minute of exposure, in the test solution for C. albicans (p = 0.0190), S. aureus (p = 0.0001), S. mutans (p = 0.0001), B. subtilis (p = 0.0001), and E. coli (p = 0.0001). After 2.5 minutes of exposure, 100 percent of the microbial inocula were eliminated. It was concluded that the 2 percent peracetic acid solution was effective against the biofilms of the tested microorganisms on gutta-percha cones at 1 minute of exposure.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência de dispositivos de microtração sobre a resistência coesiva de blocos de resina acrílica. Vinte blocos de resina acrílica termopolimerizável (Onda-Cryl Clássico) foram confeccionados e distribuídos em 4 diferentes grupos experimentais (n=5) de acordo com o dispositivo de microtração empregado: G1: Paquímetro modificado; G2: Dispositivo de Andreatta Filho; G3: Dispositivo de Borges; G4: MT-jig. Os blocos foram seccionados em palitos de lmm2 e submetidos ao teste de microtração (EMIC DL 1000). Os dados foram avaliados pela Análise de Variância e pelo Teste de Tukey, a 5% de significância. Os menores valores de resistência mecânica foram obtidos com os dispositivos de Andreatta Filho (34,22 MPa) e de Borges (34,49 MPa), e os maiores valores com o Paquímetro modificado (49,44 MPa) e o MT-jig (48,40 MPa). Concluiu-se que os valores de resistência mecânica são influenciados pelos dispositivos de microtração utilizados e que não podem ser comparados entre si.
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of different devices on microlensile strength of acrylic resin blocks. Twenty thermo polyrnerized acrylic resin blocks (Onda-Cryl Clássico) were produced and divided into four experimental groups (n=5) according to microtensile device used: G I: Modified caliper; G2: Andreatta Filhos device: G3: Borges' device: G4: MT-jig. Blocks were sectioned into sticks with a crosssection of I rnm2- and tested to failure in tension mode (EMIC DL 1000). The data were submitted to l-way analysis of variance (AOVA), followed by Tukeys test (a=.05). The lowest mean microtensile strengths were obtained with Andreatta Filhos (34.22 MPa) and Borges' (34.49 MPa) devices. Paquimeter (49.44 MPa) and MT-jig (48.40 MPa) promoted the highest mean microtensile strengths, 1t was concluded that microtensile devices influence mechanical strength values.
