ABSTRACT
The clinical success of tooth-colored indirect restorations has been confirmed in several studies. However, inlays and onlays restorations in Class II cavities with deep gingival margins can still be considered a clinical challenge. With the purpose of facilitating the execution of the operative procedures in intrasulcular margins and reducing the risk of restorative failures, the technique of cervical margin relocation has been explored as a noninvasive alternative to surgical crown lengthening. This work aims at discussing through a case report the biomechanical, operative and biological aspects in the treatment of teeth with deep gingival margins. Therefore, given the therapy applied in the clinical case presented, it is concluded that the cervical margin relocation with composite resin is advantageous since it eliminates the need for surgery, allowing the implementation of indirect restorations in fewer clinical sessions, not causing damage to periodontal tissues once it provided good finishing and polishing with the establishment of a correct emergence profile, allowing flawless maintenance of gingival health after one year.

Sucesso clínico das restaurações indiretas livres de metal tem sido confirmado em diversos estudos. No entanto, restaurações parciais indiretas em cavidades do tipo classe II com margens profundas ainda podem ser consideradas um desafio clínico. Com a proposta de facilitar a execução dos procedimentos operatórios em margens intra-sulculares e reduzir a ocorrência de falhas, a técnica de elevação da margem gengival em resina composta tem sido explorada como alternativa não invasiva à cirurgia de aumento de coroa clínica. Este trabalho tem a intenção de discutir através de um relato de caso clínico os aspectos biomecânicos, operatórios e biológicos no tratamento de dentes com margens cervicais profundas. Sendo assim, conclui-se que a técnica de elevação da margem gengival com resina composta é vantajosa, pois elimina a necessidade de cirurgia permitindo a execução de restaurações indiretas em menos sessões clínicas, não gerando danos aos tecidos periodontais, desde que haja um bom acabamento e polimento, com estabelecimento de um correto perfil de emergência.

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength (BS) of glass fiber posts (GFP) luted to oval and circular-shaped root canals rehabilitated using varying post techniques, at different intraradicular levels. Ninety 16-mm-long roots of human mandibular premolars, classified either as having oval or circular-shaped canals, were endodontically treated and prepared for restoration using one of three different post techniques (n=15): 1) single GFP; 2) resin-relined GFP; 3) main GFP associated with accessory posts. GFPs were luted with a dual polymerizing resin cement (RelyX ARC) after the canal had been treated with a 3-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system (Adper Scothbond Multipurpose). The samples were sectioned into three 1-mm-thick sections, which were differentiated by the root level (cervical, middle and apical) and tested for push-out BS. Assessment of failure mode was made under a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using repeated measures three-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. The root canal cross-section had a significant influence on BS (p<0.001), with the lowest values being observed in oval-shaped canals. The post technique also significantly affected the BS (p=0.018), with the resin-relined GFPs providing the highest BS values in both oval and circular-shaped canals. Irrespective of the cross-section of the root canal and post technique, there was no significant difference in BS in the cervical, middle and apical third of the root canal (p=0.084). In oval-shaped canals, the BS to intraradicular dentin at cervical, middle or apical level could be increased when the GFPs posts were relined.
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a resistência de união (RU) de pinos de fibra de vidro (PFV), cimentados a condutos com secção transversal ovalada ou circular reabilitados com diferentes técnicas de restauração com PFVs, em função do nível intrarradicular. Noventa raízes de pré-molares inferiores humanos, com 16 mm de altura, classificadas como possuindo canais ovais ou circulares, foram tratadas endodonticamente e preparadas para serem reabilitadas com uma das três técnicas de restauração com PFVs (n=15): 1) PFV único, 2) PFV reembasado com resina composta, e 3) PFV principal associado a pinos acessórios. Os PFVs foram cimentados com um agente resinoso de polimerização dupla (RelyX ARC), após o canal ter sido tratado com um sistema adesivo de condicionamento total de três passos (Adper Scothbond Multiuso). As amostras foram seccionadas em três fatias de 1 mm de espessura, de acordo com o nível da raiz (cervical, médio e apical)e foram submetidas ao teste de RU por push-out. A análise do modo de falha foi realizada com auxílio de um estereomicroscópio. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se a ANOVA a três critérios para medidas repetidas e o teste de Tukey. A secção do conduto apresentou influência na RU (p<0,001), com os menores valores sendo observados nos condutos ovalados. A técnica de restauração com PFVs afetou significativamente a RU (p=0,018), tendo o PFV reembasado proporcionado os maiores valores de RU, tanto em condutos ovais quanto circulares. Independentemente da secção transversal do conduto radicular e da técnica de restauração com PFV, não houve diferença significativa na RU nos terços cervical, médio e apical (p=0,084). Nos canais de secção transversal ovalada, a RU à dentina intrarradicular nos níveis cervical, médio ou apical aumentou com o emprego de PFVs reembasados.

Objetivo: avaliar o grau de conhecimento dos cirurgiões-dentistas que atuam na atenção básica do município de Patos (PB) sobre os bifosfonatos e sua repercussão no tratamento odontológico. Material e métodos: neste estudo observacional transversal, 34 cirurgiões-dentistas responderam ao questionário sobre conhecimentos gerais dessa medicação. Resultados: os resultados do estudo evidenciaram um baixo conhecimento acerca dos bifosfonatos (52,9%). De modo geral, o estudo apontou o desconhecimento acerca da droga e sua repercussão no tratamento odontológico pelos cirurgiões-dentistas do município de estudo. Conclusão: é necessária a aquisição de conhecimentos por parte dos profi ssionais da Odontologia em relação a esses fármacos, a fi m de oferecerem aos seus pacientes um tratamento mais amplo e completo, com todas as informações e alternativas necessárias

Objective: The objectives of this research were to evaluate the effect of periodontal therapy in moderately compensated and decompensated type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and periodontal disease were selected and divided into two groups (based on HbA1c level): Group 1: Moderately compensated; Group 2: Decompensated. The analyses including clinical periodontal parameters and the quantification of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), the IL1-β expression in the GCF and Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting glucose (FG) from venous blood were performed at 0, 3, and 6 months. Results: Both groups presented improvement in all clinical periodontal parameters as well as quantification of gingival crevicular fluid and in the expression of IL-1ß present in the fluid after 6 months. However, no statistically significant difference was found in the levels of HbA1C in the group 1 after 6 months, although a significant increase was found after six months in the group 2. While in relation to the FG, a great improvement was found in the group 1 and a significant increase in the group 2 after six months. Conclusions: It was possible to observe that conventional periodontal treatment (scaling and root planning) is more effective for moderately compensated type 2 diabetic patients’ glycemic control rather than for the decompensated patients.
