ABSTRACT

Objective: this in vitro study compared the adhesive strengths of the resin sealant with the Giomer technology sealant under salivary contamination. Materials and Methods: fifty-two bovine incisors were randomly divided into four groups (n=13): GI, a resin sealant (Fluroshield®) without salivary contamination (control of GII); GII, Fluroshield sealant + salivary contamination; GIII, a Giomer technology sealant (BeautiSealant®) without salivary contamination (control of GIV); and GIV, BeautiSealant® sealant + salivary contamination. In the salivary contamination groups, artificial saliva was used through a pipette, and after 20 s, it was air-dried and the sealant was applied. Shear strength tests were performed using a universal testing machine. One-way ANOVA variance and Tukey's test were used for multiple comparisons. The fracture types were analyzed using a stereomicroscope with 40X magnification. Results: the means and standard deviations (SD) of adhesion for Fluroshield® and BeautiSealant® in the group without salivary contamination were 15.27 (±0.96) and 11.90 (±0.94), and for the group with salivary contamination, 13.14 (±1.03) and 8.95 (±1.33), respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference between GI and GII p=0.020, GIII and GIV p=0.041. Mixed failures were detected in GI (38%), GII (44%), GIII (38%), and GIV (62%). Conclusion: there was a statistically significant decrease in the adhesive strength values in the groups with salivary contamination for both the sealants studied. However, no significant difference was observed between the two sealants when the materials used were compared.


Objetivo: este estudo in vitro comparou as forças adesivas do selante resinoso com o selante da tecnologia Giomer sob contaminação salivar. Materiais e Métodos: cinquenta e dois incisivos bovinos foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos (n=13): GI, um selante resinoso (Fluroshield®) sem contaminação salivar (controle do GII); GII, selante Fluroshield + contaminação salivar; GIII, um selante com tecnologia Giomer (BeautiSealant®) sem contaminação salivar (controle do GIV); e GIV, selante BeautiSealant® + contaminação salivar. Nos grupos de contaminação salivar, a saliva artificial foi utilizada por meio de uma pipeta e, após 20 s, foi seca ao ar e aplicado o selante. Os testes de resistência ao cisalhamento foram realizados usando uma máquina de teste universal. A variância ANOVA de uma via e o teste de Tukey foram usados para comparações múltiplas. Os tipos de fratura foram analisados em estereomicroscópio com aumento de 40X. Resultados: as médias e desvios padrão (DP) de adesão para Fluroshield® e BeautiSealant® no grupo sem contaminação salivar foram 15,27 (±0,96) e 11,90 (±0,94), e após contaminação salivar foram 13,14 (±1,03) e 8,95 (±1,33), respectivamente, indicando haver diferença estatisticamente significante entre GI e GII p=0.020, GIII e GIV p=0.041. Falhas mistas foram detectadas em GI (38%), GII (44%), GIII (38%) e GIV (62%). Conclusão: houve diminuição estatisticamente significativa dos valores de resistência adesiva nos grupos com contaminação salivar para ambos os selantes estudados. No entanto, não foi observada diferença significativa entre os dois selantes quando comparados os materiais utilizados.

ABSTRACT

O Bruxismo é um comportamento da musculatura mandibular, caracterizado pelo apertamento e/ou rangimento dental, tanto em estado de vigília quanto no sono, que pode acarretar na Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM). Altamente prevalente em crianças e etiologia multifatorial, destacam-se os aspectos psicossociais, principalmente o estresse e ansiedade. A necessidade de distanciamento social durante a pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe consequências para as crianças e fez surgir novos formatos de ações na Odontologia. Esse estudo avaliou a influência do autocuidado nas manifestações do Bruxismo/DTM em crianças que estavam em tratamento, antes da pandemia, no Serviço de Atendimento de Bruxismo e DTM na Infância (SABDI) da FORP/USP, por meio de intervenções assistidas, implementadas remotamente, de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PICs). Previamente às intervenções (T0), os pais responderam o questionário (Q1) sobre a criança (no formato Google Forms, enviado por WhatsApp e e-mail). As práticas propostas foram explicadas em reuniões virtuais (Google Meet) e foram realizadas durante 21 dias, registradas em um "Diário de Controle". Um novo questionário (Q2) foi preenchido para análise comparativa após as intervenções (T1). Das 37 crianças que estavam em tratamento, a amostra final das 18 que concluíram todas as etapas propostas apresentou diferença quantitativa nos itens: "dor na boca/rosto quando mastiga"; "dor ou dificuldade de abrir e fechar a boca"; "acorda com dor no rosto ou dor de cabeça" e, "dor de cabeça durante o dia ou à noite", "range os dentes em vigília"; "frequência que range os dentes em vigília"; "range os dentes enquanto dorme" e, "frequência que range os dentes enquanto dorme", "sono agitado"; "pesadelo" e "insônia". Observou-se evidência de diferença estatística com valor P<0,05, no item "aperta os dentes em vigília" (p=0,0057). Conclui-se que as intervenções propostas influenciaram as manifestações do Bruxismo favorecendo o seu controle.


Bruxism is a behavior of the mandibular muscles, characterized by clenching and/or dental grinding, both in wakefulness and in sleep, which can lead to Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Highly prevalent in children and possessing a multifactorial etiology, psychosocial aspects stand out, especially stress and anxiety. The need for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has had consequences for children and has given rise to new formats of actions in Dentistry. This study evaluated the influence of self-care on the manifestations of Bruxism/TMD in children who were undergoing treatment, before the pandemic, Care Center for children with Bruxism and TMD, whose acronyms in Portuguese is SABDI, located in Ribeirão Preto School of Dentistry (FORP-USP), through assisted interventions, implemented remotely, of Complementary and Integrative Therapies (CIT). Prior to the interventions (T0), the parents answered the questionnaire (Q1) about the child (in Google Forms, sent by WhatsApp and e-mail). The proposed practices were explained in virtual meetings (Google Meet) and performed for 21 days and recorded in a "Control Diary". A new questionnaire (Q2) was completed for comparative analysis after the interventions (T1). Of the 37 children who were undergoing treatment, the final sample of 18 who completed all the proposed steps showed a quantitative difference in the items: "pain in the mouth/face when chewing"; "pain or difficulty opening and closing the mouth"; "waking up with pain in the face or headache" and "headache during the day or night"; "grinding teeth while awake"; "frequency grinding teeth while awake"; "grinding teeth while sleeping"; "frequency grinding teeth while sleeping"; "restless sleep"; "nightmare"; and "insomnia". Evidence of statistical difference was observed with a P value <0.05, in the item "clenches teeth while awake" (p=0.0057). It is concluded that the proposed interventions influenced the manifestations of Bruxism, favoring its control.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: In this study, we evaluated the knowledge, attitudes, and psychosocial impacts among Brazilian pediatric dentists during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional study with primary data collection was carried out using an online structured questionnaire. Data were submitted to descriptive analysis by using absolute and relative frequencies. A chi-square test was used for association analysis and log-linear regression models to estimate the prevalence ratio (5%). The population comprised mostly women and knowledge regarding COVID-19 was satisfactory (above 80% in most items). N95 masks and faceshields were used, albeit 64.22% reported difficulty in providing dental care to children due to the need for extra Personal Protective Equipment. Thirty eight percent provided urgency/emergency dental care, 59.78% performed invasive procedures, 59.56% used high speed handpieces, 8.44% started using cariostatics, and 6.22% introduced the use of chemomechanical caries removal agents. Fear for the future (PR = 1.21) and use of medications (for anxiety, depression, or insomnia) increased (PR = 1.16) among the ones who had wage losses. Brazilian pediatric dentists have knowledge about COVID-19, and attitudes in their clinical routines changed due the pandemic. Financial life was harmed and a negative impact of the pandemic in psychosocial aspects of workers was found.

ABSTRACT

Abstract In the routine clinical situation, the contamination by blood and/or saliva in restorative procedures can be happen in non-cooperation of the patient in dental office. The aim of the study was to assess in vitro shear bond strength of a resin sealant associated with two types of adhesives contaminated with saliva and blood. Healthy human molars were used and the specimens and the crowns were sectioned in the bucco-lingual direction, thus obtaining two segments of similar proportions (mesial and distal), totaling 60 surfaces, and the surfaces were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 15). Group I (control) received no type of contamination and the sealant was applied. In group II, the surfaces were contaminated with 10 µl of saliva/blood and the sealant was applied. In group III, the surfaces were contaminated with 10 µl of saliva/blood and the Single Bond total-etch adhesive system was applied followed by application of sealant. In group IV, the surfaces were contaminated with 10 µl of saliva/blood and the Prime & Bond NT total-etch adhesive system was applied followed by the application of sealant. Samples were tested in the universal testing machine and the analysis of shear bond strength was performed. A difference between Group I (12.61MPa) and the other groups was found; Group II (2. 28MPa) was different than Groups III (7.07MPa) and IV (7.79MPa), but Groups III and IV were similar. The application of an adhesive system when there is contamination with saliva/blood is required prior to application of pit and fissure sealants. (AU)


Resumo Na situação clínica de rotina, a contaminação por sangue e/ou saliva em procedimentos restauradores pode ocorrer em pacientes que não colaboram no consultório odontológico. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a resistência ao cisalhamento in vitro de um selante de resina associado a dois tipos de adesivos contaminados com saliva e sangue. Foram utilizados molares humanos saudáveis e os espécimes e as coroas foram seccionados na direção bucal-lingual, obtendo assim dois segmentos de proporções semelhantes (mesial e distal), totalizando 60 superfícies, e as superfícies foram divididas aleatoriamente em 4 grupos (n = 15). O Grupo I (controle) não recebeu nenhum tipo de contaminação e o selante foi aplicado. No grupo II, as superfícies foram contaminadas com 10 µl de saliva / sangue e o selante foi aplicado. No grupo III, as superfícies foram contaminadas com 10 µl de saliva / sangue e o sistema adesivo Single-Bond foi aplicado seguindo a aplicação de selante. No grupo IV, as superfícies foram contaminadas com 10 µl de saliva / sangue e o sistema adesivo de ataque total Prime & Bond NT foi aplicado seguido da aplicação de vedante. As amostras foram testadas na máquina de ensaio universal e a análise da resistência à ligação ao cisalhamento foi realizada. Uma diferença entre o Grupo I (12,61MPa) e os outros grupos foi encontrada; O Grupo II (2,28 MPa) foi diferente dos Grupos III (7,07MPa) e IV (7,79 MPa), mas os Grupos III e IV foram semelhantes. A aplicação de um sistema adesivo quando existe contaminação com saliva / sangue é necessária antes da aplicação de selantes de fissura e fissura.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study evaluated shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI) and fracture mode of chemically and mechanically retained ceramic brackets bonded with different composite resins and irradiated with CO2 laser. The null hypothesis was that ceramic brackets bonded with different composite resins and irradiated with CO2 laser would have similar SBS values. Ninety human premolars were divided into four experimental groups according to the combination of type of composite resin (Transbond XT and Z 250) and type of ceramic bracket (Fascination and Mystique), and two control groups (n=15). In the four experimental groups, the brackets were irradiated with CO2 laser at 10 W for 3 seconds before SBS testing. Enamel surface ARI was calculated after debonding under electron microscopy scanning. ANOVA and the Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis. The laser groups had lower SBS values than the non-irradiated groups (control) (p<0.05). The mechanically retained brackets (Mystique) had the higher (p<0.05) and Z250 had the lower SBS values after CO2 laser irradiation. The groups bonded with Z250 had the highest ARI. Adhesive fractures were the most prevalent. The null hypothesis was rejected. CO2 laser decreased SBS efficiently and facilitated debonding of mechanically and chemically retained ceramic brackets.


Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a resistência de união ao cisalhamento da colagem (RCC), o índice de remanescente de adesivo (IRA) e o modo de fratura de bráquetes cerâmicos com retenção química e mecânica colados com diferentes compositos e irradiados com laser de CO2. A hipótese nula testada foi que bráquetes colados com diferentes compósitos e irradiados com laser de CO2 apresentam valores semelhantes de RCC. Noventa pré-molares humanos foram divididos em 6 grupos (n=15): 2 controles e 4 experimentais que se diferenciaram pelo tipo de bráquete ceramic (Fascination and Mystique) e pelo compósito de fixação (Transbond XT e Z 250). Nos quatro grupos experimentais, os bráquetes foram irradiados com laser de CO2 com 10W por 3 segundos anteriormente ao teste de RCC. O IRA das superficies de esmalte foram avaliados após a descolagem e submetidos a análise em microscopia electrônica de varredura (MEV). Para análise estatística foram utilizados ANOVA e o teste de mann-Whitney. Os grupos laser mostraram valores de RCC menores que os grupos não irradiados (controles) (p<0.05). Os bráquetes com retenção mecânica (Mystique) mostraram alta RCC (p<0.05) e o compósito Z 250 obteve os mais baixos valores de RCC após irradiação com laser. Os grupos colados com o compósito Z 250 apresentaram os mais altos escores do IRA. O modo de fratura mais prevalente foi a adesiva. A hipótese nula foi rejeitada. O laser de CO2 foi eficaz para diminuir os valores de RCC e facilitou a descolagem dos bráquetes cerâmicos de retenção química e mecânica

ABSTRACT

Abstract Literature has reported positive results regarding the use of lasers in the control of erosive lesions; however, evaluating whether they are effective in the control of the progression of erosive/abrasive lesions is important. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Er:YAG laser irradiation in controlling the progression of erosion associated with abrasive lesions in enamel. Material and methods Bovine incisors were sectioned, flattened and polished. Forty-eight enamel slabs were subjected to treatment in an intraoral phase. Twelve volunteers used an intraoral appliance containing one slab that was irradiated with an Er:YAG laser (5.2 J/cm2, 85 mJ, 2 Hz) and another non-irradiated slab on each side of the appliance, during one phase of 5 d, under a split-mouth design. Devices were subjected to erosive challenges (1% citric acid, 5 min, 3 times a day) and abrasive challenges one h after (brushing force of 1.5 N for 15 s) randomly and independently on each side of the device. Measurements of enamel loss were performed via 3D optical profilometry (μm). We analyzed data using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests and morphological characteristics via scanning electron microscopy. Results Following erosive and abrasive challenges, the group that was irradiated with the Er:YAG laser presented less loss of structure than the non-irradiated group. The group that underwent erosion and irradiation did not exhibit a significant difference from the non-irradiated group. Conclusion Irradiation with the Er:YAG laser did not control the loss of structure of enamel subjected to erosion but did control abrasion after erosion.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess in vitro the influence of the CO2 laser and of the type of ceramic bracket on the shear bond strength (SBS) to enamel. METHODS: A total of 60 enamel test surfaces were obtained from bovine incisors and randomly assigned to two groups, according to the ceramic bracket used: Allure (A); Transcend (T). Each group was divided into 2 subgroups (n = 15): L, laser (10W, 3s); C, no laser, or control. Twenty-four hours after the bonding protocol using Transbond XT, SBS was tested at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min in a universal testing machine. After debonding, the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) was evaluated at 10 x magnification and compared among the groups. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s, Mann-Whitney’s and Kruskal-Wallis tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Mean SBS in MPa were: AL = 0.88 ± 0.84; AC = 12.22 ± 3.45; TL = 12.10 ± 5.11; TC = 17.71 ± 6.16. ARI analysis showed that 73% of the specimens presented the entire adhesive remaining on the tooth surfaces (score 3). TC group presented significantly higher SBS than the other groups. The lased specimens showed significantly lower bond strength than the non-lased groups for both tested brackets. CONCLUSION: CO2 laser irradiation decreased SBS values of the polycrystalline ceramic brackets, mainly Allure.


RESUMO OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro a influência do laser de CO2 sobre a resistência ao cisalhamento da colagem (RCC) no esmalte dentário, usando diferentes tipos de braquetes cerâmicos. MÉTODOS: no total, 60 superfícies de esmalte de incisivos bovinos foram obtidas e aleatoriamente divididas em dois grupos, de acordo com o braquete cerâmico utilizado: Allure (A) e Transcend (T). Cada grupo foi dividido em dois subgrupos (n = 15): L, laser (10W, 3s); C, sem laser, ou controle. Vinte e quatro horas após a colagem dos braquetes com o sistema Transbond XT, foi realizado o teste de resistência ao cisalhamento, com velocidade de 0,5 mm/min, em máquina universal de ensaios mecânicos. Após a descolagem, o Índice de Remanescente de Adesivo (IRA) foi avaliado com aumento de 10X e comparado entre os grupos. Os dados foram analisados pelo ANOVA one-way, testes de Tukey’s, Mann-Whitney’s e Kruskal-Wallis (α = 0,05). RESULTADOS: as médias da RCC em MPa foram: AL = 0,88 ± 0,84; AC = 12,22 ± 3,45; TL = 12,10 ± 5,11; TC = 17,71 ± 6,16. A análise do IRA mostrou que 73% dos corpos de prova apresentaram todo o compósito remanescente aderido à superfície do esmalte (escore 3). O grupo TC apresentou valor significativamente maior de RCC do que os outros grupos. Os corpos de prova dos grupos com laser obtiveram valores adesivos significativamente menores do que os corpos de prova dos grupos sem laser, com ambos os tipos de braquetes. CONCLUSÃO: a irradiação com laser de CO2 diminuiu os valores de RCC dos braquetes policristalinos testados, principalmente do Allure.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors - 2% (CHX) and sodium fluoride (NaF) (5000 ppm) - on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of composite resin to Er:YAG laser-irradiated dentin after chemical degradation of the bond interface. The occlusal surface of forty sound human molars was removed exposing the dentin surface (n=10), which was polished, irradiated with Er:YAG laser, acid etched and dried. Twenty specimens were rewetted with 2% CHX (control group) and 20 were rewetted with NaF (5000 ppm). The adhesive system was applied and a 4-mm-high plateau of light-cured composite resin was built up. Resin-dentin sticks were obtained with a rectangular cross-sectional area (0.8-1 mm2) and were either stored in water at 37 ?#61616;C for 24 h or submitted to chemical degradation. For chemical degradation, they were immersed in 10% NaOCl aqueous solution for 5 h and rinsed in water for 1 h. The sticks were submitted to microtensile test in a mechanical testing machine at 0.5 mm/min until failure. Fracture pattern was analyzed using SEM. μTBS values were calculated in MPa and submitted to analysis of variance ANOVA (α=0.05). The variance analysis showed that the 'MMP inhibitor' and 'degradation' factors (p=0.214 and p=0.093, respectively) and interaction between the factors were not statistically significant (p=0.143). Mixed failure predominated in all groups. In conclusion, the 2% CHX and NaF 5000 ppm presented similar μTBS of composite resin to laser-irradiated dentin before and after chemical degradation.


Resumo Este estudo avaliou o efeito dos inibidores de metaloproteinase, clorexidina 2% e fluoreto de sódio (5000 ppm), na resistência de união entre a dentina irradiada por laser Er:YAG e a resina composta após a degradação química da interface de união. A superfície oclusal de quarenta molares humanos hígidos (n=10) foi removida expondo uma superfície de dentina, que foi polida, irradiada com laser Er:YAG, condicionada com ácido e seca. Vinte espécimes foram re-umedecidos com clorexidina 2% (Grupo controle) e 20 com fluoreto de sódio (5000 ppm). O sistema adesivo foi aplicado e um platô de resina composta fotopolimerizável de 4 mm de altura foi construído. Palitos de resina-dentina foram obtidos com secção transversal retangular (0,8-1 mm2). Eles foram armazenados em água (24 h a 37 ?#61616;C) ou submetidos a degradação química. Para a degradação química, foram imersos em solução aquosa de hipoclorito de sódio a 10% durante 5 horas e lavados em água durante 1 h. Os palitos foram submetidos ao teste de microtração em uma máquina de ensaios mecânicos a 0,5 mm/min até a fratura. O padrão de fratura foi analisado em MEV. Os valores de resistência de união foram calculados em MPa e submetidos à análise de variância ANOVA (α=0,05). A análise de variância mostrou que os fatores inibidor de metaloproteinases e degradação (p=0,214 e p=0,093, respectivamente), e a interação entre os fatores não foram estatisticamente significantes (p=0,143). A predominância de falha mista foi detectada para todos os grupos. Em conclusão, a clorexidina a 2% e fluoreto de sódio (ppm 5000) apresentaram resistência de união entre dentina irradiada e resina composta semelhante antes e após a degradação química.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Dental sealants are important for prevention of carious lesions, if they have good shear strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of two sealants to saliva-contaminated and non-contaminated enamel with and without an intermediate adhesive layer underneath the sealant. Ninety flat enamel surfaces from human third molars were randomly assigned to 6 groups (n=15): F (control): Fluroshield(tm) sealant; EWB (control): Embrace(tm) WetBond(tm); SB/F: Single Bond adhesive system + F; SB/EWB, s-SB/F and s-SB/EWB. In the s-SB/F and s-SB/EWB groups, the acid-etched enamel was contaminated with 0.01 mL of fresh human saliva for 20 s. Sealant cylinders were bonded to enamel surface with and without an intermediate adhesive system layer. The shear tests were performed using a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min). Data were analyzed statistically by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (α=0.05). F presented higher mean SBS than EWB in all experimental conditions. The lowest SBS mean was obtained for EWB on contaminated enamel (p<0.05). In conclusion, an adhesive system layer should be used prior to sealant placement, in both dry and saliva-contaminated enamel. F had the best performance in all experimental conditions. EWB sealant showed very low results, but an adhesive layer underneath the sealant increased its SBS even after salivary contamination.


Resumo Selantes dentários são importantes para a prevenção de lesões de cárie desde que tenham boa resistência ao cisalhamento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resistência ao cisalhamento (SBS), de dois selantes em esmalte contaminado e não contaminado com saliva, com e sem uma camada adesiva intermediária sob o selante. Noventa superfícies de esmalte de terceiros molares humanos foram planificadas e divididas aleatoriamente em 6 grupos (n=15): F (controle): selante Fluroshield(tm); EWB (controle): Embrace(tm) WetBond(tm); SB/F: sistema adesivo Single Bond + F; SB/EWB, s-SB/F and s-SB/EWB. Nos grupos s-SB/F e s-SB/EWB, a contaminação do esmalte condicionado foi obtida com 0,01 mL de saliva humana fresca durante 20 s. Cilindros de selante foram colocados sobre a superfície do esmalte com e sem uma camada de sistema adesivo intermediária. Os ensaios de cisalhamento foram realizados utilizando uma máquina universal de ensaios (0,5 mm/min). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney (?#61537;=0,05). F apresentou valores médios de SBS maiores do que EWB em todas as condições experimentais. O menor valor médio de SBS foi obtido pelo EWB em esmalte contaminado (p<0,05). Em conclusão, uma camada de sistema de adesivo deve ser utilizada antes da colocação do selante, tanto em superfície seca quanto contaminada por saliva. F teve o melhor desempenho em todas as condições experimentais. O selante EWB apresentou resultados insatisfatórios, porém o uso de uma camada adesiva abaixo do selante aumentou sua SBS, mesmo após a contaminação salivar.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine varnish on the reduction of caries incidence during fixed orthodontic treatment. The literature searches involved The Cochrane Library, Medline, Scopus, OpenSigle databases and manual searches. The search on OpenSigle did not produce any additional articles. Clinical studies conducted in patients with orthodontic fixed appliances that used professional application of chlorhexidine varnish were included. The effect-size was calculated and a meta-analysis was performed. From 182 abstracts, a total of six articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. After reading the full articles, one was excluded because of lack of a control group. Three articles were used for continuous data analysis, and two articles were used for the dichotomous data analysis. The pooled meta-analysis with continuous data demonstrated chlorhexidine varnish effectiveness on caries reduction (p = 0.003), with a mean difference and confidence interval of −1.49 [−2.47, −0.51]. On the basis of the pooled meta-analysis of continuous data, we were able to conclude that professional application of chlorhexidine varnish is effective in caries incidence reduction during fixed orthodontic treatment.

ABSTRACT

Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS), also known as Williams syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder involving cardiovascular problems, mental retardation, distinctive facial features and tooth anomalies. It is caused by the submicroscopic deletion of 1.5 to 1.8 Mb on chromosome 7q11.23. This paper reports the dental care to a 7-year-old child with WBS syndrome. The interview also revealed visual impairment, sensorineural hearing loss, hyperacusis, photophobia and hoarse voice. The intraoral clinical examination showed anterior open bite, tongue thrusting, excessive interdental spacing, enamel hypomineralization of the incisors, hypoplasia and caries lesions. The dental treatment included: modulating sessions to control aversion to noises, the photophobia, and the dental fear and anxiety because of his reduced visual acuity; oral hygiene instructions, dietary and daily use of a 0.05% sodium fluoride mouthwash; the permanent mandibular left first molar was treated endodontically, and maxillary and mandibular first molars were restored with amalgam. Due to the patient's heart defect, a prophylactic antibiotic regimen was prescribed prior to the dental procedures. This patient has been followed up for 4 years and this case report underscores the importance of early dental evaluation and counseling for parents of WBS patients.


A Síndrome de Williams-Beuren (SWB), também conhecida como síndrome de Williams, consiste em uma desordem congêntica rara a qual apresenta problemas cardiovasculares, retardo mental, alterações faciais e anomalias dentárias. É causada pela microdeleção de 1,5 a 1,8 Mb no cromossomo 7q11.23. Este trabalho relata o tratamento odontológico de uma criança de 7 anos com a síndrome. Durante a anamnese constatou-se deficiência visual, perda auditiva neurossensorial, hiperacusia, fotofobia e voz rouca. O exame clínico intra-oral revelou mordida aberta anterior, deglutição atípica, espaçamento interdental excessivo, hipomineralização dos incisivos, hipoplasia e lesões de cárie. O tratamento dentário incluiu: sessões de condicionamento comportamental afim de controlar a aversão a ruídos, a fotofobia e o medo e a ansiedade frente ao tratamento odontológico, provocadas principalmente por sua reduzida acuidade visual; instruções de higiene oral, dieta e uso diário de bochechos de fluoreto de sódio a 0,05%; endodontia do primeiro molar permanente inferior esquerdo e restaurações de amálgama nos primeiros molares superiores e inferiores. Devido ao defeito cardíaco do paciente, antibioticoterapia profilática foi realizada antes dos atendimentos odontológicos. Este paciente está em acompanhamento há 4 anos e este relato ressalta a importância da avaliação odontológica precoce e do aconselhamento aos pais dos pacientes com SWB.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of industrialised foods and drinks on primary tooth enamel previously eroded with hydrochloric acid (HCl). The crowns of one hundred two specimens were subjected to an erosive challenge with HCl and randomly divided into six groups (n = 17): Chocolate Milk (Toddynho® - Pepsico) - negative control; Petit Suisse Yogurt (Danoninho® - Danone); Strawberry Yogurt (Vigor); Apple puree (Nestlé); Fermented Milk (Yakult® - Yakult); and Home Squeezed Style Orange Juice (del Valle) - positive control. The 28-day immersion cycles for the test products were performed twice daily and were interspersed with exposure of the test substrate to artificial saliva. Measurements of enamel surface microhardness (SMH) were performed initially, after immersion in HCl and at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of experimentation. A two-way ANOVA, according to a split-plot design, followed by the sum of squares decomposition and Tukey’s test, revealed a significant effect for the interaction between Foods and Drinks and Length of Exposure (p < 0.00001). Orange juice resulted in greater mineral loss of enamel after 28 days. None of the test products was associated with recovery of tooth enamel microhardness.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated, in vitro, the erosive potential of pediatric liquid medicines in primary tooth enamel, depending on the exposure time. Sixty deciduous incisors were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=15), according to the immersion solutions: guaifenesin; ferrous sulfate; salbutamol sulfate and artificial saliva. The immersion cycles in the medicines were undertaken under a 1-min agitation, which wasperformed three times daily, during 28 days. Surface microhardness was measured at 7,14, 21 and 28 days. The titratable acidity and buffering capacity of the immersion media were determined. Data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Salbutamol sulfate caused a gradual loss in enamel microhardness deciduous, observed at all times (p<0.005). Exposure to guaifenesin or ferrous sulfate resulted in significant decrease of enamel microhardness only after 28 days (p<0.005). In the control group (artificial saliva), microhardness did not changed (p>0.005) at any of the studied times. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images revealed that after 28 days the surfaces clearly exhibited structural loss, which was unlike those immersed in artificial saliva. Erosion of deciduous enamel was dependent on the type of medicine and exposure time.


Este estudo avaliou, in vitro, o potencial erosivo de medicamentos líquidos pediátricos em esmalte de dentes decíduos, em função do tempo de exposição. Sessenta incisivos decíduos foram divididos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos (n=15), de acordo com a solução de imersão: guaifenesina, sulfato ferroso, sulfato de salbutamol e saliva artificial. Os ciclos de imersão nos medicamentos foram realizados sob agitação por 1 min, três vezes ao dia, durante 28 dias. As medidas de microdureza superficial foram realizadas após 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias. A acidez titulável e capacidade tampão dos meios de imersão foram determinadas. Os dados foram submetidos à Análise de Variância e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). O sulfato de salbutamol causou uma perda gradual na microdureza do esmalte decíduo, em todos os tempos verificados (p<0,005). A exposição à guaifenesina ou ao sulfato ferroso levou à diminuição significante da microdureza do esmalte, apenas após 28 dias (p<0,005). No grupo controle (saliva artificial) não houve alteração (p>0,005) da microdureza em nenhum dos tempos estudados. As imagens de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) revelaram que após 28 dias, as superfícies expostas aos medicamentos apresentaram perda estrutural, diferindo dos que foram imersos em saliva artificial. A erosão do esmalte decíduo foi dependente do tipo de medicamento e do tempo de exposição.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the effectiveness of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser combined or not with fluoride application on the surface microhardness of enamel adjacent to orthodontic brackets. Fifteen human molars were selected from which 30 enamel fragments measuring 4 mm2 were obtained. The fragments were embedded in PCV tubes with acrylic resin and prepared using water abrasive paper, felt disks and alumina. Orthodontic brackets cut in half were bonded to enamel and 3 microhardness readings were performed on the adjacent surface, as follows: initial, after cariogenic challenge and final. The specimens were divided into the following 3 groups (n=10): Group C: control, Group L: irradiated with CO2 laser, and Group FL: topical fluoride application and CO2 laser irradiation. After initial reading, the specimens were placed in a demineralizing solution for 32 h and the second reading was to verify if demineralization was uniform in all groups. After the treatments, the specimens were submitted to DES-RE cycling for 8 days followed by final surface microhardness reading. The data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA and Duncan test (α=0.05). At the final measurement Group FL obtained higher microhardness value than Groups C and L (p<0.05). Groups L and FL were statistically superior to Group C (p<0.05). Irradiation with CO2 laser around orthodontic brackets combined or not with topical fluoride application was effective to increase the surface microhardness of enamel.


Este estudo avaliou a eficácia do laser de CO2, associado ou não à aplicação de flúor na microdureza superficial do esmalte dentário adjacente a bráquetes ortodônticos. Foram selecionados 15 molares humanos, dos quais 30 fragmentos de esmalte com 4 mm2 foram obtidos. Os fragmentos foram incluídos em tubos de PVC, contendo resina acrílica, preparados usando lixas d'água e discos de feltro e alumina. Bráquetes ortodônticos cortados ao meio foram colados no esmalte e 3 leituras de microdureza foram realizadas na superfície adjacente: inicial, após desafio cariogênico e final. Os espécimes foram divididos em 3 grupos (n=10): Grupo C - Controle, Grupo L - irradiado com laser de CO2 e Grupo FL - aplicação tópica de flúor e irradiação com laser de CO2. Após leitura inicial, os espécimes foram colocados em solução desmineralizadora por 32 h e a segunda leitura foi realizada para verificar se desmineralização foi uniforme em todos os grupos. Após os tratamentos, os espécimes foram submetidos a ciclagem DES-RE durante 8 dias seguida da leitura da microdureza superficial final. Os dados foram analisdos estatisticamente utilizando ANOVA e o teste de Duncan (α=0,05). Na mensuração final o grupo FL obteve maior valor de microdureza que os grupos C e L (p<0,05). Os grupos L e FL foram estatisticamente superiores ao grupo C (p<0,05). A irradiação de laser de CO2 ao redor de bráquetes ortodônticos combinadas ou não à aplicação tópica de flúor foi eficaz no aumento da microdureza superficial do esmalte.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated in vitro the influence of thermocycling and water storage (WS) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of composite resin in cavities prepared in primary tooth enamel with conventional bur or Er:YAG laser. The test surfaces were obtained from 48 primary molars and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n=24), according to cavity preparation: A: bur-preparation and B: Er:YAG laser irradiation. The specimens were restored with an etch-and-rinse adhesive system and composite resin. Each group was divided into 4 subgroups (n=6) according to WS duration and number of thermal cycles (TCs): I: 24 h WS/no thermocycling; II: 7 days WS/500 TCs; III: 1 month WS/2,000 TCs; IV: 6 months WS/12,000 TCs. The specimens were tested to failure in shear strength at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. SBS means (S.D.) in MPa were: AI: 17.45 (2.03), AII:16.38 (1.49), AIII: 6.88 (0.66), AIV: 7.77 (1.53), BI: 12.32 (0.99), BII: 15.37 (2.24), BIII: 15.05 (2.01) and BIV-5.51 (1.01). WS duration and number of TCs influenced significantly the SBS values only for BIV (p<0.05). AI presented the highest SBS value, which was statistically similar to those of AII, BII and BIII. In conclusion, the adhesion of an etch-and-rinse adhesive to Er:YAG laser-irradiated primary tooth enamel was affected by the methods used to simulate degradation of the adhesive interface only when 6 months WS/12,000 TCs were employed.


Este estudo avaliou in vitro a influência da termociclagem (TC) e do armazenamento em água (AA) na resistência ao cisalhamento de resina composta ao esmalte de dentes decíduos preparados com broca convencional e laser Er:YAG. As superfícies de trabalho foram obtidas de 48 molares decíduos e divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos (n=24), de acordo com o tipo de preparo cavitário: A - preparo com broca; B - irradiação com laser Er:YAG. Os espécimes foram restaurados com um sistema adesivo etch-and-rinse e resina composta. Cada grupo foi dividido em 4 subgrupos (n=6) de acordo com o tempo de armazenamento em água (AA) e o número de termociclagens (TCs): I - 24 h AA/0 TCs, II - 7 dias AA/500 TCs; III - 1 mês AA/2000 TCs; IV - 6 meses AA/12000 TCs. O teste de cisalhamento foi realizado em máquina de ensaio universal a uma velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste ANOVA a dois critérios e teste de Tukey. As médias de resistência ao cisalhamento (D.P.), em MPa, foram: AI: 17,45 (2,03), AII: 16,38 (1,49), AIII: 6,88 (0,66), AIV: 7,77 (1,53), BI: 12,32 (0,99), BII: 15,37 (2,24), BIII: 15,05 (2,01) e BIV-5,51 (1,01). O tempo de armazenamento em água quanto a termociclagem influenciou significativamente os valores de resistência ao cisalhamento só para o grupo BIV (p<0,05). AI apresentou o maior valor de SBS, que foi estatisticamente semelhantes aos de AII, BII e BIII. Em conclusão, a adesão de um sistema adesivo etch-and-rinse ao esmalte de dente decíduo irradiado com Er: YAG foi afetada pelos métodos empregados para simulação da degradação da interface adesiva somente quando armazenamento em água por 6 meses e 12.000 ciclos de termociclagem foram empregados.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate in vivo the failure rate of metallic brackets bonded with two orthodontic composites. Nineteen patients with ages ranging from 10.5 to 38.7 years needing corrective orthodontic treatment were selected for study. The enamel surfaces from second premolars to second premolars were treated with Transbond Plus-Self Etching Primer (3M Unitek). Next, 380 orthodontic brackets were bonded on maxillary and mandibular teeth, as follows: 190 with Transbond XT composite (3M Unitek) (control) and 190 with Transbond Plus Color Change (3M Unitek) (experimental) in contralateral quadrants. The bonded brackets were light cured for 40 s, and initial alignment archwires were inserted. Bond failure rates were recorded over a six-month period. At the end of the evaluation, six bond failures occurred, three for each composite. Kaplan-Meyer method and log-rank test (Mantel-Cox) was used for statistical analysis, and no statistically significant difference was found between the materials (p=0.999). Both Transbond XT and Transbond Plus Color Change composites had low debonding rates over the study period.


O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar in vivo a taxa de falha de braquetes metálicos colados com dois compósitos ortodônticos. Dezenove pacientes com idades entre 10,5 e 38,7 anos, que necessitavam de tratamento ortodôntico corretivo, foram selecionados para estudo. As superfícies de esmalte de segundos pré-molares a segundos pré-molares foram tratadas com Transbond Plus Self-Etching Primer (3M Unitek). Em seguida, 380 bráquetes foram colados nos dentes superiores e inferiores, como segue: 190 com compósito Transbond XT (3M Unitek) (controle) e 190 com Transbond Plus Color Change (3M Unitek) (experimental), em quadrantes contralaterais. Os bráquetes colados foram fotopolimerizados por 40 s e arcos de alinhamento inicial foram inseridos. As taxas de insucesso na adesão foram registrados durante um período de seis meses. No final da avaliação, seis falhas de adesão ocorreram, três para cada composto. Para a análise estatística foram utilizados os testes de Kaplan-Meyer e log-rank (Mantel-Cox), e não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os materiais (p=0,999). Ambos compósitos, Transbond XT e Transbond Plus Color Change, tiveram baixas taxas de descolagem durante o período de estudo.

ABSTRACT

Frente à dificuldade de controlar processos de desmineralização do esmalte, novas tecnologias vêm sendo estudadas como o emprego da irradiação com laser de CO2. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma revisão de literatura crítica do laser de CO2 no controle da desmineralização do esmalte, abordando seu mecanismo de ação em esmalte, parâmetros de utilização para a estrutura dental e sua associação a agentes fluoretados. O laser de CO2 parece ser um método promissor no controle da desmineralização do esmalte, porém, mais estudos são necessários para empregabilidade clínica. O efeito sinérgico com flúor, mesmo com diferentes agentes fluoretados, revelou resultados positivos no controle da desmineralização do esmalte.

ABSTRACT

Nas últimas décadas, um declínio na prevalência da doença cárie tem sido constatado nos países industrailizados, no entanto, ainda representa umas das doenças que mais acomete os seres humanos, sendo considerada um problema de saúde pública. Uma nova visão da Odontologia, denominada Intervenção Mínima, tem determinado novas tendências no sentido de abranger procedimetos mais biológicos, preventivos e menos invasivos, visando a preservação de tecidos dentais. Essa filosofia é dependente de um diagnóstico precoce. Assim, como o diagnóstico difedigno do processo de cárie por inspeção visual é limitado, existe a necessidade de detectar a doença no seu estágio mais inicial, a fim de apoiar as decisões de tratamento. Dessa forma, nos últimos anos têm surgido métodos auxiliares de diagnóstico da doença e consequente aumento do interesse por analisar a eficácia desses métodos, uma vez técnicas baseadas apenas no exame visual e radiográfico não são tão eficazes em detectar níveis iniciais de perdas minerais do esmalte dental. O laser diodo para diagnóstico de cárie foi introduzido há alguns anos. Esses sistemas baseados na autofluorescência dos tecidos dentais parecem oferecer maior eficácia na realização de diagnóstico confiável e preciso das primeiras fases da desmineralização do esmalte dental. Para tanto, esta revisão avalia criticamente o diagnóstico de cárie por fluorescência a laser.


In recent decades, a decline in the prevalence of caries has been observed in industrialized countries, yet it represents one of the most common diseases in man and is considered a public health problem. A new approach or the treatment of dental caries is advocated by Mininmal Intervention Dentistry. It emphasizes a more biological preventive and less invasive procedures, in order to preserve more dental tissue. This philosophy dependents on early diagnosis. Since a reliable diagnosis of dental caries by visual inspection and radiographic examination is limited there is a need to detect the disease in its earlist stage, to suport treatment decisions. The diode laser for caries diagnosis was introduced some years ago. These systems are based on self-fluorescence of the tissues and appear to offer greater efficacy in achieving a reliable and occurate diagnosis of earlu stages of enamel demineralization. Thus, this rewiew critically evaluares caries diagnosis using laser flueorescence.

ABSTRACT

The goal of this research was to assess whether there was a change in the profile of dental procedures performed in the Pediatric Dental Clinic at the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto at University of São Paulo during the period between the years 1980 to 2004. Using the dental records of 3,484 pediatric patients attended at the Pediatric Dental Clinic, we conducted a survey of clinical procedures performed by undergraduate students in the years 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004. The following procedures, performed in deciduous and permanent teeth in children from 1 to 12 years, were: topicalapplications of fluoride, pit and fissure sealant applications, silver amalgam and composite resin fillings, pulpotomy and tooth extraction. The numeric values obtained for each procedure were converted into percentages, and data were analyzed using Fisher Exact or qui-square tests (α = 0.05). The results revealed the occurrence of a significant increase (p < 0.01) in percentage of topical fluoride applications (increase of 18.9%) and sealants applications (increase of 11.2%). On the other hand, the percentage of performance of silver amalgam and composite resin fillings, pulpotomies and tooth extraction showed a significant decline of 16.0, 6.0 and 16.1%, respectively (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that there was a decline of restorative, surgical and conservative endodontic procedures, with a concomitant increase of preventive procedures.

ABSTRACT

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders characterized by marked fragility of the skin and mucous membranes in which vesiculobullous lesions occur in response to trauma, heat or no apparent cause. The recessive form of EB presents the greatest oral alterations including repeated blistering and scar formation leading to limited oral opening, ankyloglossia, tongue denudation, microstomia, vestibule obliteration and predisposition to oral carcinoma. Routine dental care may cause bullae formation on the lips and oral mucosa. Together with the ingestion of soft and frequently carbohydrate food, these anomalies lead to a high caries risk. This paper documents a case of a child diagnosed with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB); describes the phases and difficulties of dental treatment and the measures that dentists and health care providers should adopt in order to provide a safe and effective dental treatment as well as earlier prevention to these patients.


Epidermólise bolhosa compreende um grupo heterogêneo de desordens genéticas raras caracterizadas pela fragilidade da pele e do tecido mucoso, nos quais surgem lesões bolhosas em resposta à injúrias traumáticas, ao calor ou até mesmo sem causa aparente. Na forma recessiva da doença, repetidos episódios de bolhas e formação de tecido cicatricial nos tecidos orais acabam por tornar a mucosa atrófica causando microstomia, anquiloglossia, desnudamento da língua e predisposição a desenvolvimento de carcinomas. Os simples cuidados rotineiros com a saúde bucal podem levar a formação das bolhas na mucosa bucal e nos lábios. A falta de higiene adequada associada a um consumo elevado de carboidratos e alimentos mais pastosos aumentam o risco de cárie nestes pacientes. Este relato documenta o caso de uma criança com diagnóstico de epidermólise bolhosa distrófica recessiva, descrevendo as dificuldades e as fases do tratamento odontológico realizado, enfatiza as medidas adotadas pelos profissionais de saúde para propiciar um tratamento seguro e efetivo, bem como a importância de se instituir um programa de prevenção bucal o mais precoce possível.
