ABSTRACT

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the enamel microhardness, surface roughness, and chemical composition after microabrasion technique, followed by polishing and different immersion times in artificial saliva. Materials and methods: Ninety enamel blocks (25mm2) from bovine incisors were divided into two groups (G1 and G2), and then subdivided in five subgroups (n = 9) according to their microabrasion treatment and polishing with a diamond paste: 35% phosphoric acid and pumice (H3PO4+Pum) and polishing; just H3PO4+Pum; 6.6% hydrochloric acid and silica (HCl+Sil) and polishing; just HCl+Sil; and control (no treatment). For G1, roughness and microhardness analyses were performed before (L1) and after (L2) microabrasion. After 15 (L3) and 30 (L4) days of immersion in artificial saliva, microhardness analysis was also performed. After (L4) analysis, the specimens were subjected to SEM analysis. G2 was used for the chemical analysis using energy dispersion testing (EDS). The data was subjected to statistical analysis (α = 5%). For roughness, L2 presented higher values than L1, except for the polished groups. For microhardness, L2 presented higher values than L1, except for unpolished groups. The L3 and L4 did not differ and were higher than L1. RESULTS: No changes were observed in the phosphorus concentrations of the microabrasioned enamel. However, the specimens treated with HCl+Sil were observed as having decreased calcium and increased chlorine and silica on the EDS test. Conclusion: Microabrasion followed by polishing and immersion in artificial saliva for 15 days is enough to increase the microhardness of microabrasioned enamel surfaces, although the microabrasion procedure can alter the mineral content of the enamel.

ABSTRACT

O desgaste irregular dos dentes, especialmente dos anteriores, além de uma diversidade de formatos anatômicos, pode acarretar em desarranjos estéticos do sorriso. Dessa forma, o contorno cosmético é um procedimento estético que implica em desgaste irreversível da estrutura dentária com pontas diamantadas e discos de acabamento, visando corrigir os parâmetros de estética e reflexão da luz dos dentes anteriores e pré-molares. Nesse sentido, todos os passos para a realização do contorno cosmético são críticos e de extrema importância. O objetivo desse artigo é apresentar, através do relato de um caso clínico, a confecção de uma remodelação cosmética do sorriso guiada por princípios de ilusão de óptica baseados em mínimos desgastes em esmalte dentário, garantindo uma previsibilidade estética do sorriso


Irregular dental wear, especially from the anterior teeth, and the various anatomic shapes can lead to an esthetic breakdown of the smile. So, cosmetic contouring is an esthetic approach which implies irreversible dental abrasion by diamond burs and fnishing disks in order to correct the esthetic parameters and light reflection of anterior teeth and pre-molars. In this sense, all steps for the cosmetic contouring procedure are critical and very important. The aim of this work was to present a case report that shows the cosmetic smile remodeling guided by principles of optical illusion based on minimal dental abrasion, ensuring a predictable esthetic smile.

ABSTRACT

A valorização da estética do sorriso favorece o interesse pelos materiais cerâmicos na reabilitação dental, em função de resultados naturais e fáceis de ser alcançados. As propriedades ópticas semelhantes às da estrutura dentária, associadas à capacidade mecânica proporcionada pelas cerâmicas reforçadas (metal free), têm possibilitado resoluções estéticas sem comprometimento funcional. Dessa forma, este relato de caso clínico tem por objetivo descrever uma resolução estética com indicação de coroas cerâmicas metal free para resolução estético-funcional do sorriso, discutindo indicações e características, assim como as técnicas empregadas para o uso desses materiais


The appreciation of the smile esthetics favors the interest for ceramic materials used oral rehabilitation, since the clinician can achieve natural, esthetic results. Optical properties similar to tooth structure in association with the mechanical strength provided by reinforced all-ceramic restorations produce esthetic results without functional impairment. Thus, the aim of this case report is to describe an esthetic indication of all-ceramic crowns to reach esthetic, functional smile resolution and to discuss its indications and characteristics, and the technique used to these materials

ABSTRACT

O desgaste dos dentes anteriores pode acarretar desarranjos funcionais, assim como desarmonia estética. Devido a suas ótimas propriedades ópticas e biomecânicas, as cerâmicas dentais têm sido cada vez mais utilizadas na resolução de problemas relacionados à estética do sorriso. As cerâmicas reforçadas por dissilicato de lítio são opções viáveis para esse tipo de reabilitação. Nesse sentido, todos os passos para realização da restauração indireta cerâmica são críticos e de extrema importância. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar, por meio do relato de um caso clínico, a confecção de restaurações de dentes ântero-superiores com severo desgaste, com coroas totais em cerâmica reforçada por dissilicato de lítio. Para a realização de casos com previsibilidade e sucesso, as diferentes etapas de confecção são detalhadas e minuciosamente discutidas, e demonstram-se os pontos chave desse procedimento...


Wear of anterior teeth can cause functional disorders, and esthetic disharmony. Due to their excellent optical and biomechanical properties, dental ceramics are increasingly used to solve esthetic problems. Reinforced ceramics, e.g. those composed by lithium disilicate, are feasible options for this type of rehabilitation. Therefore, every step involving the fabrication of indirect ceramic restorations is critical. This article presented a case report of the restoration of maxillary anterior teeth with severe wear, using full crowns fabricated with lithium disilicate reinforced ceramics. The steps are described in detail and thoroughly discussed, demonstrating key concepts to achieve predictable, successful results...

ABSTRACT

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different mouthwashes on superficial roughness and Knoop hardness of two resin composites. Eighty specimens (6 mm Ø and 2 mm height) were prepared and divided into eight experimental groups (n = 10) according to the resin composites (4 Seasons and Esthet X), and storage solutions (G1 - Distilled water; G2 - Colgate Plax Overnight; G3 - Colgate Plax Alcohol Free; and G4 - Colgate Plax Whitening). The initial hardness and roughness readings (T1) were measured and then the specimens were stored in 2 mL of mouthwash for 12 h (T2) and 24 h (T3). The data were analyzed with repeat-measures two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 5 percent). Regardless of the type of solution and time of exposure, there was no statistical difference for roughness between the resins (p = 0.44). G4 and G8 presented higher roughness means than G1, G3, G5 and G7, after 12 and 24 hours of immersion. For Knoop microhardness analysis, there was a significant reduction for all groups after 12 hours and 24 hours. We conclude that the mouthwashes containing hydrogen peroxide and/or alcohol decrease the microhardness of the resins tested; however, the mouthwash containing hydrogen peroxide had a higher deleterious effect on roughness.

ABSTRACT

O protocolo restaurador direto com resina composta para dentes anteriores fraturados é um desafio na Odontologia Adesiva atual, já que existem vários compósitos à disposição no mercado, com características ópticas e mecânicas cada vez mais semelhantes às da estrutura dentária. Dessa forma, a técnica de estratificação em camadas de resina composta torna-se eficiente para uso na clínica odontológica. Nesse artigo, o caso clínico apresentado abordará a restauração estética de um incisivo medial fraturado, com o procedimento de estratificação de resina composta, trabalhando os conceitos de translucidez e opacidade para uma adequada reabilitação dentária de forma estética e funcional.
