ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the color stability and the surface roughness of different composites brushed with toothpastes presenting different levels of abrasivity. Thirty discs of each material were obtained using michohybrid composites (Brilliant NG and Charisma Diamond) and a nanocomposite (Filtek Z350XT). The initial color (CIELab) and surface roughness (confocal laser scanning microscopy) of resin discs were evaluated. Afterwards, 10 specimens per group were brushed with the following dentifrices: Maximum Cavity Protection, Sensodyne Repair & Protect and Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief. Brushing was performed with an electric toothbrush equipped with soft bristle head, with standard power and weight, for 30 minutes. Every 30 seconds, 1.0 ml of the slurry was injected between the bristles of the brush and the specimen. After abrasive challenge, the samples had their color and roughness reevaluated. Data were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test (color change) or the t-test (surface roughness). The level of significance was 5%. Results: Brushing did not significantly change the color of the composites tested in the study herein . On the other hand, the surface roughness of the composites was significantly affected by the abrasive challenge, regardless of the toothpaste used. The surface roughness change was similar for all the composites. The abrasive challenge with the toothpastes Maximum Cavity protection, Sensodyne Repair & Protect and Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief was not able to significantly change the color of the composite resins. Nevertheless, the abrasive challenges significantly altered the surface roughness of all the evaluated composites. However, the changes in surface roughness were statistically similar in the microhybrid and nanofilled composites. (AU)


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a estabilidade de cor e a rugosidade superficial de diferentes resinas compostas escovadas com dentifrícios de diferentes níveis de abrasividade. Trinta discos de cada material foram obtidos utilizando compósitos micro-híbridos (Brilliant NG e Charisma Diamond) e um nanocompósito (Filtek Z350XT). A cor inicial (CIELab) e a rugosidade superficial (microscopia confocal de varredura a laser) dos discos de resina foram avaliadas. Em seguida, 10 amostras por grupo foram escovadas com os dentifrícios Máxima Proteção Anticáries, Sensodyne Repair & Protect e Colgate Sensitive Pro-Alívio. A escovação foi realizada com uma escova elétrica com cabeça de cerdas macias, com potência e peso padronizados, durante 30 minutos. A cada 30 segundos, 1,0 ml da pasta era injetada entre as cerdas da escova e a amostra. Após o desafio abrasivo, as amostras tiveram sua cor e rugosidade reavaliadas. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de Kruskal-Wallis (alteração de cor) ou ao teste t (rugosidade da superfície) (α=5%). A escovação não alterou significativamente a cor dos compósitos. Por outro lado, a rugosidade superficial dos compósitos foi significativamente afetada pelo desafio abrasivo, independentemente do dentifrício utilizado. A alteração da rugosidade superficial foi semelhante para todos os compósitos. O desafio abrasivo com a Máxima Proteção Anticáries, o Sensodyne Repair & Protect e o Colgate Sensitive Pro-Alívio não foi capaz de alterar significativamente a cor das resinas. Diferentemente, os desafios abrasivos alteraram significativamente a rugosidade superficial de todos os compósitos avaliados. No entanto, as mudanças na rugosidade foram estatisticamente semelhantes nos compósitos micro-híbridos e nanoparticulado. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study evaluated how Er,Cr:YSGG laser, associated or not with 5% fluoride varnish, influences the surface roughness and volume loss of bovine root dentin submitted to erosive and/or abrasive wear. One hundred and twenty dentin specimens were divided into the groups: without preventive treatment (WPT), 5% fluoride varnish (FV); Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation (L), and varnish combined with laser (FV + L). The specimens (n = 10) were subdivided into: 1 = erosion (E); 2 = abrasion (A); and 3 = erosion followed by abrasion (E + A). The erosive solution used was a soft-drink (pH = 2.42 at 4ºC) applied in 5-min cycles twice a day for 10d. Abrasive wear involved brushing for 60s with an electric brush (1,600-oscillations/s) at a load of 2.0N. Surface roughness and volume loss were evaluated using a laser scanning confocal microscope. Roughness data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test. For volume loss, the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's post-hoc tests were used (α = 5%). The lowest values of roughness were found in the control areas of all subgroups (p > 0.05). In the experimental area, the [(WPT) + (E+A)] subgroup had a significantly higher roughness (5.712 ± 0.163 μm 2 ) than the other subgroups (p < 0.05). The L and (FV + L) groups had statistically similar roughness, regardless of the type of wear. The (FV + L) group had the lowest volume loss, regardless of the type of wear performed: [(FV + L) + (E)] = 7.5%, [(FV + L) + (A) = 7.3%, and [(FV + L) + (E + A)] = 8.1%. The subgroup [(WPT) + (E + A)] had the highest volume loss (52.3%). The proposed treatments were effective in controlling dentin roughness. Laser irradiation can be an effective method to increase root dentin resistance after challenges and limit problems related to non-carious lesions.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser associated or not to a desensitizing agent in the treatment of erosive lesions. Forty specimens with dimensions of 4mm x 4mm and 3mm thickness were divided into 4 groups (n = 10): G1- no treatment; G2- 5% fluoride varnish; G3- Er,Cr: YSGG; G4 - fluoride varnish + laser. The specimens were immersed in erosive drink 3 times a day for 1 minute with an average interval of 2 hours between cycles for a period of 10 days. The treatments were performed according to the groups and the surface roughness and the wear profile were analyzed by scanning confocal microscopy. The normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) and homogeneity (Levene's) of the tests were evaluated. After these analyzes, the surface roughness data were submitted to the statistical analysis of Variance Analysis (ANOVA). All tests adopted a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05). At the representative images of the wear profile, the morphology of bovine dental enamel in its control and eroded areas were compared and qualitatively discussed. As regard surface roughness, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. The qualitative analysis of the loss of volume showed that all experimental groups showed significant superficial morphology differences. Considering the limitations of an in vitro study, it can be concluded that the treatments performed were not able to treat dental erosion satisfactorily, indicating the need for more treatment sessions. (AU)


O objetivo desse estudo in vitro foi avaliar a influência do laser Er,Cr:YSGG associado ou não a um agente dessensibilizante no tratamento de lesões erosivas. Foram confeccionados 40 espécimes com dimensões de 4mm x 4mm e 3mm de espessura, divididos em 4 grupos (n=10): G1- nenhum tratamento; G2- verniz fluoretado 5%; G3- aplicação do laser Er,Cr:YSGG; G4- verniz fluoretado + laser. Os espécimes foram imersos em bebida erosiva, 3 vezes por dia, durante 1 minuto, com intervalo médio de 2 horas entre os ciclos, por um período de 10 dias. Os tratamentos foram realizados de acordo com os grupos e que foram analisados a rugosidade superficial e o perfil de desgaste por meio de microscopia confocal de varredura. Avaliou-se a normalidade (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) e homogeneidade (Levene's) dos dados. Após estas análises, os dados de rugosidade superficial foram submetidos ao teste estatístico de Análise de Variância (ANOVA). Todos os testes adotaram nível de significância de 5% (α=0,05). Através da obtenção das imagens representativas do perfil desgaste, a morfologia do esmalte dental bovino em suas áreas controle e erodida foram comparadas e qualitativamente discutidas. Quanto à rugosidade superficial, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos. A análise qualitativa da perda de volume mostrou que todos os grupos experimentais apresentaram diferenças significativas na morfologia superficial. Considerando as limitações de um estudo in vitro pode-se concluir que os tratamentos realizados não foram capazes de tratar a erosão dentária de forma satisfatória, indicando a necessidade de mais sessões de tratamento.

ABSTRACT

Early diagnosis of white spot lesions allows non-invasive treatment to be indicated for the remineralization of active lesions. The goal was to report the clinical Protocol for the treatment of white spot lesion of a patient by the technique of resin infiltration, observing whether there is change of color on the white spot of the dental enamel after its treatment. The selected patient was 16 years old with good overall health, who featured white spot lesion of the dental enamel on tooth 13, classified as ICDAS score 2. The tooth was photographed, and its color was evaluated with the spectrophotometer in accordance with the CIELhC system. For comparison purposes, the color of tooth enamel in an area adjacent to the lesion was evaluated. The treatment of the lesion was performed with the resin infiltrate Icon (DMG, Hamburg, Germany), following the manufacturer's instructions. The color of the tooth was re-evaluated after the application of the resin infiltrate. At the end of the procedure, it was observed that the treatment of white spot lesion by resin infiltration technique reached its goal because, in addition to being minimally invasive, it was highly approved by patient and it provided the masking of the white spot lesion on the dental enamel. (AU).


O diagnóstico precoce de lesões de mancha branca permite que um tratamento não invasivo seja indicado para a remineralização das lesões ativas. O objetivo foi relatar o protocolo clínico para tratamento de lesão de mancha branca ativa de um paciente pela técnica do infiltrante resinoso, observando se existe alteração de cor da mancha branca do esmalte dental após o seu tratamento. Foi selecionada uma paciente, de 16 anos de idade, com boa saúde geral e que apresentava lesão de mancha branca no esmalte dental do dente 13, classificada pelo escore 2 do ICDAS. O dente foi fotografado e sua cor foi avaliada com o espectrofotômetro de acordo com o sistema CIELhC. Para fins de comparação, foi avaliada a cor do esmalte dental em uma área adjacente à lesão. O tratamento da lesão foi realizado com a resina infiltrante Icon (DMG, Hamburgo, Alemanha), seguindo as recomendações do fabricante. A cor do dente foi reavaliada após a aplicação do infiltrante. Ao final do procedimento, observou-se que o tratamento da lesão de mancha branca pela técnica da resina infiltrante atingiu seu objetivo pois, além de ter sido minimamente invasiva, foi bem avaliada pela paciente e proporcionou o mascaramento da lesão de mancha branca do esmalte dental.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To detect Streptococcus mutans in colostrum and saliva of neonates and compare with its detection in saliva of mothers. Methods Forty-three healthy women, full-term gestations with no complications, submitted to elective Cesarean section, and their newborns were included in the study. Samples were investigated by polymerase chain reaction to detect S. mutans in genetic material from the samples. Results Approximately 16% of colostrum samples showed S. mutans , but not correlated with the presence of the bacteria in both samples of saliva. S. mutans was detected in 49 and 30% of saliva samples of mothers and neonates, respectively. There was a positive correlation in S. mutans detection between types of saliva. The number of maternal samples of saliva with detectable S. mutans was smaller in women receiving dental treatment during pregnancy. Tooth brushing, three times a day, influenced the detection of S. mutans in both the saliva and the colostrum. Conclusion Although maternal saliva may present S. mutans , few samples of colostrum present the bacteria. The presence of bacteria in neonate saliva may be related to contact before birth. Dental treatment and hygiene habits seem to influence the detection of S. mutans in samples of maternal saliva and colostrum.


RESUMO Objetivo Detectar Streptococcus mutans no colostro e na saliva de recém-nascido, e comparar com a detecção na saliva da mãe. Métodos Foram incluídos no estudo 43 mulheres saudáveis, com gestações a termo e sem complicações, que tiveram cesariana eletiva, e seus recém-nascidos. As amostras foram investigadas por reação de polimerase em cadeia para a detecção de S. mutans em material genético extraído das amostras. Resultados Cerca de 16% das amostras de colostro apresentaram S. mutans , não sem correlação com a presença das bactérias em ambas amostras de saliva. S. mutans foi detectado em 49 e 30% das amostras de saliva das mães e recém-nascidos, respectivamente. Houve correlação positiva na detecção de S. mutans entre os tipos de saliva. O número de amostras de saliva materna com S. mutans detectável foi menor nas mulheres que receberam tratamento odontológico durante a gravidez. A escovação três vezes ao dia influenciou na detecção do S. mutans tanto no saliva quanto no colostro. Conclusão Embora a saliva materna possa apresentar S. mutans , poucas amostras de colostro apresentam a bactéria. A presença de bactéria na saliva de neonatos pode estar relacionada ao contato antes do nascimento. O tratamento odontológico e os hábitos de higiene parecem influenciar na detecção de S. mutans em amostras de saliva e colostro maternos.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of different remineralizing agents in the treatment of enamel erosive lesions. Specimens of 4mmx4mm and 3mm thickness were made from the buccal surface of bovine incisors (n=10) and randomly divided into 4 groups. G1 = application of the remineralizing dentifrice, G2 = application of the remineralizing agent, G3 = remineralizing dentifrice + remineralizing agente, G4 = application of fluoride varnish (positive control), G5 = no treatment Specimens were immersed in refrigerant solution during a period of 10 days. The surface roughness was analyzed by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy. The data were analyzed for homogeneity (Levene's) and normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov). Parametric tests with analysis of variance were performed on two criteria: time factor and treatment factor, and Tukey post-test for differentiation of means. All tests were statistically significant at 5% (α = 0.05). The results showed statistically significant difference, demonstrating the reduction of surface roughness after the first treatment (G3) and the other groups (G1, G2 and G4) only after the second treatment. It was concluded that the use of dentifrice composed of calcium silicate and sodium phosphate influenced the roughness of the eroded tooth enamel of the bovine tooth. (AU)


O objetivo deste trabalho in vitro foi avaliar a influência de diferentes agentes remineralizantes no tratamento de lesões erosivas em esmalte. Foram confeccionados espécimes de 4mmx4mm e 3 mm de espessura a partir da superfície vestibular de incisivos bovinos (n=10) e divididos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos. G1=aplicação do dentifrício remineralizante, G2= aplicação do agente potencializador remineralizante, G3= dentifrício remineralizante + agente potencializador remineralizante, G4=aplicação de verniz fluoretado (controle positivo), G5=nenhum tratamento (controle negativo). Os espécimes foram imersos em refrigerante durante um período de 10 dias. A rugosidade superficial foi analisada por meio de microscopia confocal de varredura a laser. Os dados foram analisados quanto à homogeneidade (Levene's) e normalidade (Kolmogorov- Smirnov). Foram realizados testes paramétricos com análise de variância a dois critérios: fator tempo e fator tratamento, e pós-teste de Tukey para diferenciação das médias. Todos os testes estatísticos tiveram nível de significância de 5% (α=0,05). Os resultados obtidos mostraram diferenças estatisticamente significantes, demonstrando a redução da rugosidade da superfície do esmalte logo após o primeiro tratamento (G3) e para os demais grupos (G1, G2 e G4) somente após o segundo tratamento. Concluiu-se que a utilização de dentifrício composto por silicato de cálcio e fosfato de sódio influenciou na rugosidade do esmalte erodido do dente bovino. (AU).

ABSTRACT

A resina composta é o material restaurador mais utilizado atualmente. Apesar de seu sucesso clínico, o material está sujeito a alterações em suas propriedades físicas, quando exposto ao meio bucal. O objetivo foi avaliar a influência da degradação química na estabilidade de cor e na rugosidade superficial de resinas micro-híbrida e nanoparticulada. Foram confeccionados 40 discos (6,0mm x 2,0mm) da resina composta micro-híbrida (Z250XT) e 40 da resina nanoparticulada (Z350XT). Após a análise da cor inicial e da rugosidade inicial, 10 discos de cada resina foram imersos em saliva artificial (Controle, pH=6,4), suco de laranja (pH= 3,4), refrigerante de limão (pH=2,9) e vinho tinto (pH=3,1), por 4 horas por dia (37ºC) durante 30 dias. Após, foram realizadas as leituras finais de cor e rugosidade. Os dados obtidos para a estabilidade de cor foram analisados pelo Teste de Kruskal-Wallis, seguido pelo Teste de Dunn (α=5%). Para a análise da rugosidade foi utilizado o Teste t para amostras pareadas (α=5%). O manchamento provocado pela saliva artificial, suco de laranja e refrigerante foi similar, mas foi estatisticamente diferente do manchamento produzido pelo vinho, em ambas as resinas testadas. O vinho produziu o mesmo grau de manchamento nas resinas micro-híbrida e nanoparticulada. Foi observado que o suco de laranja, o refrigerante e o vinho promoveram aumento da rugosidade superficial dos discos de resina. Diante disso, concluiu-se que o vinho alterou a cor de resinas compostas micro-híbrida e nanoparticulada, e que a rugosidade superficial dos discos de resina foi alterada por todas as bebidas utilizadas. (AU).


Composite resin is the most used restorative material. Despite its clinical success, it is susceptible to changes in its physical properties when exposed to the oral environment. The aim was to evaluate the influence of acidic beverages on the color stability and on the surface roughness of the nanofilled and micro hybrid composite. Forty discs (6.0mm x 2.0mm) of the micro hybrid composite (Z250XT) and 40 of the nanofilled composite (Z350XT) were manufactured. After the measurement of the initial color and the initial roughness, 10 discs of each composite were individually immersed in artificial saliva (control, pH = 6.4), orange juice (pH=3.4), lime soda (pH = 2.9) and red wine (pH = 3.1) during 4 hours per day at 37°C for 30 days. At the end of the experiment, the final analysis of color and surface roughness were performed. The data obtained for the color stability were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's test (α= 5%). For the analysis of the surface roughness, the t test for related samples was used (α= 5%). The color changes promoted by artificial saliva, orange juice and soda were similar, but they were statistically different from staining produced by wine, in both tested composites. Wine produced the same degree of staining in both composites. Orange juice, soda and red wine increased the surface roughness of the composite discs. It was concluded that red wine significantly changes the color of micro hybrid and nanofilled composites. Furthermore, all beverages increased the surface roughness of the composites tested in the study herein. (AU).

ABSTRACT

O diagnóstico precoce de lesões de mancha branca no esmalte dental permite que um tratamento não invasivo seja indicado para a remineralização das lesões ativas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso clínico onde foi utilizado um infiltrante resinoso para o tratamento não invasivo de uma lesão de mancha branca do esmalte dental. Foi selecionado um paciente com 14 anos de idade, do sexo masculino, leucoderma, com boa saúde geral, de alto risco à cárie, que apresentava lesão de mancha branca no incisivo central superior direito. Devido ao aspecto rugoso e opaco da lesão, optou-se pela realização do tratamento do dente com uma resina infiltrante (Icon®, DMG, Hamburg, Alemanha). Inicialmente foram realizadas fotografias intraorais e radiografia do dente acometido para fins de documentação do caso e futuras comparações. Em seguida, o dente recebeu profilaxia e posterior tratamento pela técnica da resina infiltrante, de acordo com as instruções do fabricante. Para a verificação da efetividade do procedimento, o paciente foi avaliado imediatamente e após 2 meses da conclusão do tratamento. Concluiu-se que a técnica da resina infiltrante de baixa viscosidade para o tratamento da lesão de mancha branca do dente 11 foi satisfatória, pois foi capaz de promover a paralização da doença e o mascaramento da lesão de mancha branca naquele dente.


The early diagnosis of enamel white spot lesions allows adopting a non-invasive treatment to remineralize active lesions. The objective of this study was to report a case where an infiltrant composite was used to treat enamel white spot lesion. A Caucasian 14- year-old male patient, with overall good health, and high-risk for dental caries was selected. He presented white spot lesion in the upper right central incisor. Due to the rough and opaque appearance of the lesion, the treatment with an infiltrant resin (Icon®, DMG, Hamburg, Germany) was chosen. Initially, intraoral photos and x-ray of the affected tooth have been were taken for documentation purposes and future comparisons. Then, the tooth was cleaned and treated with the infiltrant resin following the manufacturer's instructions. To verify the effectiveness of the procedure, the patient was assessed immediately and 2 months after treatment. In conclusion, the technique of low-viscosity infiltrant resin was satisfactory because it was able to impair the progression of the disease and to camouflage the white spot lesion on that tooth.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To describe e compare the specificity of IgA antibodies against bacteria extract of Klebsiella pneumoniae , Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli , and Salmonella enteritidis . Methods Colostrum samples were aseptically collected in the first 12 hours after C-section delivery. The specificity of IgA against bacteria extracts was analyzed by the Western blot. Results The findings showed proteins of high molecular weight frequently detectable in the samples. S. aureus was the most frequently found bacterium in the samples (p<0.05). Approximately 93.8, 56.3, 62.5 and 60.4% of samples presented IgA reactive to S. aureus , K. pneumoniae , S. enteritidis, and E. coli, respectively. Roughly 40% of samples showed no IgA reactive to K. pneumoniae, S. enteritidis and E. coli . Conclusion Clinical evidence of the importance of breastfeeding for the immune protection of neonates was consistent with the observed immunological findings, since most samples showed IgA reactive against the species tested. The application and development of immunotherapies during pregnancy, focused on frequently detected antigens, could be an important tool to enhance the presence of IgA in colostrum.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The present study compared IgA specificity against oral streptococci in colostrum and saliva samples. Sixty-two mother-and-child pairs were included; samples of colostrum (C) and saliva (MS) were collected from the mothers and saliva samples were collected from babies (BS). The specificity of IgA against Streptococcus mutans and S. mitis were analyzed by western blot. Only 30% of babies’ samples presented IgA reactivity to S. mutans, while 74 and 80% of MS and C, respectively, presented this response. IgA reactivity to S. mutans virulence antigens (Ag I/II, Gtf and GbpB) in positive samples showed differences between samples for Gtf and especially for GbpB (p < 0.05), but responses to Ag I/II were similar (p > 0.05). The positive response of Gtf-reactive IgA was different between C (90%) and MS (58%) samples (p < 0.05), but did not differ from BS (p > 0.05). GbpB was the least detected, with 48 and 26% of C and MS, and only 5% of BS samples presenting reactivity (p > 0.05). Eight percent of MS and C samples presented identical bands to SM in the same time-point. In conclusion, the differences of IgA response found between C and MS can be due to the different ways of stimulation, proliferation and transportation of IgA in those secretions. The colostrum has high levels of IgA against S. mutans virulence antigens, which could affect the installation and accumulation process of S. mutans, mainly by supplying anti-GbpB IgA to the neonate.

ABSTRACT

A hipersensibilidade dentinária - HD é caracterizada por uma dor aguda, de curta duração, causada pela movimentação de fluidos no interior de túbulos dentinários expostos ao meio bucal. Recentemente, a utilização dos lasers de alta e baixa intensidade foi proposta como uma alternativa para o tratamento da HD. Este trabalho realizou uma revisão da literatura baseada em artigos publicados entre 2009 e 2016 sobre os efeitos dos lasers de baixa e alta intensidade para o tratamento da HD. A base de dados utilizada foi o PubMed utilizando-se os descritores: Dentin hypersensitivity, laser, Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, GaAlAs, Er,Cr:YSGG, CO2 , HeNe, e hydrodinamic theory. Foi observado que o tratamento da HD com lasers é um método biocompatível, não-invasivo e eficiente. Os lasers de baixa intensidade (HeNe e GaAlAs) estimulam as células nervosas do tecido pulpar, interferindo na polaridade das membranas celulares, pelo aumento da amplitude do potencial de ação. Esta ação leva ao bloqueio da transmissão do estímulo ao sistema nervoso central e estimula os odontoblastos a produzirem dentina reparadora, o que diminui a permeabilidade da dentina e interrompe a movimentação de fluidos nos túbulos dentinários. Os lasers em alta intensidade (Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG e CO2) têm o objetivo de obliterar a embocadura dos túbulos dentinários, através da irradiação direta da dentina exposta ao meio bucal, promovendo a dissolução e a ressolidificação dos cristais de hidroxiapatita da dentina, levando à eliminação da sensibilidade dolorosa por um tempo prolongado. Pode-se concluir que os lasers de alta e baixa intensidade são efetivos para o tratamento da hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical.


Dentin hypersensitivity - DH is characterized by an acute and short-duration pain caused by the movement of fluids into the dentinal tubules that are exposed to the oral environment. Recently, the use of lasers has been proposed as an alternative for the treatment of DH. This study conducted a literature review based on papers published between 2009 and 2016 about the use of low and high intensity lasers for the treatment of HD. The database PubMed was consulted, using the following keywords: dentin hypersensitivity, laser, Nd : YAG, Er:YAG, GaAlAs, Er, Cr:YSGG, CO2 , HeNe, and hydrodinamic theory. It was observed that the treatment of DH with lasers can be a biocompatible, non-invasive, and efficient method. The low-intensity lasers (HeNe and GaAlAs) stimulate nerve cells in the pulp tissue, interfering with the polarity of the cell membranes by increasing the amplitude of the action potential, that inhibits the transmission of stimuli to the central nervous system. It stimulates the odontoblasts to produce reparative dentine, which decreases dentin permeability and impairs the movement of fluids into the dentinal tubules. The high-intensity lasers (Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG and CO2) obliterate the dentinal tubules by direct irradiation of dentin that is exposed to the oral environment, promoting the dissolution and resolidification of hydroxyapatite crystals, leading to elimination of pain sensitivity for a long period. It can be concluded that the high and low intensity lasers are effective for the treatment of cervical dentine hypersensitivity

ABSTRACT

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of diode laser and a desensitizing dentifrice on dentin permeability. Fifty-two root dentin fragments were obtained (5 × 5mm) and treated with 24% EDTA gel. The samples were divided into 4 groups (n = 13): G1, control (no treatment); G2, diode laser (λ = 908 nm, 1.5 W, continuous mode, 20s); G3, application of abrasive dentifrice for 1 minute (Elmex Sensitive Professional (International Gaba); and G4, application of abrasive dentifrice for 1 minute followed by irradiation with diode laser. Ten samples per group were immersed in 2% methylene blue solution for 4h. The specimens were washed, longitudinally sectioned, observed under optical microscopy, photographed and assessed based on the degree of dye leakage. The remaining samples were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The leakage data were subjected to ANOVA test, followed by Tukey's t-test (α = 5%). Groups 2, 3 and 4 showed less dye penetration than the control group (p < 0.05), but were similar among each other. SEM images showed that dentinal tubules were open in G1, and fused and occluded in G2. Group 3 showed dentinal tubules that were occluded by the metal ions from the toothpaste. G4 presented similar characteristics to G3, and the presence of fused dentin. The diode laser and the dentifrice were effective in reducing dentinal permeability, and the combination of the two treatments did not show better results than either one used alone.

ABSTRACT

The use of erbium lasers to prevent caries in enamel has shown positive results. However, it is not known if Er,Cr:YSGG laser can also be used to increase acid resistance of root dentine, which is another dental tissue susceptible to the action of cariogenic bacteria. Objective: To analyze the effects of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser (λ=2.78 μm, 20 Hz) irradiation associated with 2% neutral sodium fluoride (NaF) to prevent root dentin demineralization. Material and Methods: One hundred human root dentin samples were divided into 10 groups (G) and treated as follows: G1: no treatment; G2: NaF; G3: laser (4.64 J/cm2) with water cooling (WC=5.4 mL/min); G4: laser (4.64 J/cm2) without WC; G5: laser (8.92 J/cm2) with WC; G6: laser (8.92 J/cm2) without WC; G7: laser (4.64 J/cm2) with WC and NaF; G8: laser (4.64 J/cm2) without WC and NaF; G9: laser (8.92 J/cm2) with WC and NaF; G10: laser (8.92 J/cm2) without WC and NaF. The NaF gel was applied alone or after 4 min of irradiation. After 14 days of acid challenge, the samples were sectioned and the Knoop microhardness (KHN) test was done at different depths (30, 60, 90 and 120 μm) from the outer dentin surface. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Fisher’s test (α=5%). Results: The results showed that G8 and G10 presented higher KHN than the G1 for the depths of 30 and 60 μm, indicating an increase of the acid resistance of the dentin in up to 35% (p<0.05). Conclusions: The use of Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation at 4.64 J/ cm2 and 8.92 J/cm2 without water cooling and associated with 2% NaF can increase the acid resistance of human root dentin. .

ABSTRACT

A reconstrução de dentes tratados endodonticamente requer a utilização de retentores intrarradiculares para o restabelecimento da estética e da função dos dentes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar a literatura a respeito das características de três sistemas de retentores intrarradiculares, com a finalidade de proporcionar a segurança ao profissional no momento da escolha do retentor ideal para cada situação clínica. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica nas bases de dados Pubmed e Lilacs. Foram obtidos artigos publicados entre 2002 e 2012, sobre núcleos metálicos fundidos, pinos de fibra de vidro e pinos de fibra de carbono. Foram observadas as características físicas dos materiais, propriedades mecânicas e indicação clínica. A análise da literatura revelou que os núcleos metálicos fundidos, apesar de apresentarem boas propriedades mecânicas, estão sendo pouco indicados devido à sua estética desfavorável e maior tempo clínico para sua confecção. Já os pinos de fibra de vidro e fibra de carbono com recobrimento possuem estética favorável, propriedades físicas e mecânicas satisfatórias e proporcionam melhor aproveitamento do remanescente dentário, tornando o tratamento mais conservador e possibilitando a recuperação de dentes extensamente destruídos em uma única sessão. Os núcleos metálicos fundidos ainda são utilizados pelos cirurgiões dentistas, porém, o uso dos pinos pré-fabricados vem crescendo demasiadamente graças à melhora nas suas propriedades mecânicas e menor tempo clínico para a confecção de um retentor intrarradicular. Além disso, a estética é considerada um fator primordial na odontologia restauradora moderna e estes retentores, ao contrário dos núcleos metálicos, conseguem atende essa característica.


The reconstruction of endodontically treated teeth often requires the use of posts to restore their esthetics and function. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the most used posts systems in dental clinic in order to guide the professional to select the ideal post and core system to be used in each clinical situation. The search was conducted on the Pubmed and Lilacs databases. The articles published between 2002 and 2012 about the metal core build-up, fiberglass and carbon fiber post systems were systematic reviewed. The present review was focused on the physical and mechanical properties of the posts systems, as well as their clinical applications. The literature review revealed that the metal core build-up, despite showing good mechanical properties, are being less indicated because of their undesirable aesthetics and production long time. On the other side, fiberglass and carbon fiber posts are more conservative and have favorable aesthetics, and satisfactory physical and mechanical properties. These properties, allied to a short clinical period, make those systems the better choices to restore an endodontically treated tooth. It could be concluded that although the metal core build-up are still used by dentists, they are losing space in clinical dentistry. The use of pre-fabricated posts system is preferred and their indication is growing due to the development of aesthetical materials with enhanced physical and mechanical characteristics.

ABSTRACT

Esta revisão de literatura teve por objetivo avaliar os efeitos dos agentes clareadores nas restaurações de resina composta. Para isso, foram realizadas buscas de artigos científicos sobre o assunto nas bases de dados Pubmed e Lilacs, publicados de 2002 até 2012. Foram avaliados os agentes clareadores à base de peróxido de hidrogênio e peróxido de carbamida, em diferentes concentrações, nas técnicas caseira e de consultório. As principais características das resinas compostas avaliadas foram a microdureza superficial, a rugosidade e a cor. A revisão da literatura revelou que a maioria das alterações na dureza superficial da resina composta ocorre devido à ação dos peróxidos na matriz resinosa do material restaurador. Também foi observado que os agentes clareadores aumentam a rugosidade superficial das restaurações de resina composta, sendo esse efeito dependente da concentração e da composição do agente clareador utilizado, das características químicas da resina composta e do tempo de tratamento. A cor do material restaurador também pode ser alterada após seu contato com peróxidos. Pode-se concluir que os agentes clareadores alteram as características físicas das restaurações de resina composta.


The aim of this review was to evaluate the effects of bleaching agents on composite restorations. Publications were searched in PubMed and Lilacs databases and the analyzed papers were published between 2002 and 2012. The bleaching agents evaluated were the hydrogen peroxide and the carbamide peroxide in different concentrations and techniques. The main characteristics of the composite resins were microhardness, roughness and color. The literature review revealed that most of the changes in the surface hardness of the composite occur due to the action of peroxides on the resin matrix of the restorative material. It was also observed that bleaching agents increase the surface roughness of composite resin restorations, and this effect was dependent on the concentration and composition of the bleaching agent used, the chemical characteristics of the composite resin and the period of the treatment. Finally, the color of the restorative material can also be changed after its contact with peroxides. It can be concluded that bleaching agents change the physical characteristics of composite resin restorations.

ABSTRACT

O avanço científico da Odontologia e um maior acesso ao tratamento odontológico fizeram com que o número de pacientes com idade avançada, ainda portadores de dentições naturais, aumentasse. Assim, aumentou também a quantidade de superfícies radiculares expostas, seja por processos fisiológicos, patológicos ou terapêuticos, tornando estas superfícies mais susceptíveis e vulneráveis ao processo de cárie. Este estudo teve como objetivo revisar as características microbiológicas, histopatológicas e clínicas das lesões de cárie radicular. Os estudos revisados apontaram que, dentre os fatores etiológicos dessa patologia, destaca-se a ação do Streptococcus mutans. Contudo, o microrganismo não é o único responsável pelo aparecimento das lesões. A falta de higiene oral, assim como a presença de dieta rica em carboidratos fermentáveis contribui para o desenvolvimento e progressão das cáries de raiz. O tratamento destas lesões é realizado de acordo com a severidade destas, variando desde aplicação de flúor em cáries incipientes, até em restaurações estéticas nos casos mais avançados. Novos estudos, clínicos e laboratoriais, são necessários para se avaliar a longevidade dos tratamentos propostos, principalmente o restaurador.


This study reviewed the microbiological, histopathological and clinical aspects of root caries. Dental caries is one of the most significant health problems facing older adults. More than half of the elderly who are dentate are affected with either coronal or root caries, and caries is the primary cause of tooth loss in this population. However, age per se is not considered to be the main reason for caries development on root surfaces. The same main factors as for coronal caries, ie, cariogenic microorganisms, diet and saliva seem to play important roles in root caries development. Due to different anatomy, histology, and chemical composition of the tissues, there may be a higher risk of caries development on root surfaces than on coronal surfaces. In treatment of root surface caries, a causative treatment strategy should be determined. Prevention should focus on oral hygiene, fluoride exposure, and restriction of intake frequency of foods containing sugars or other easily fermentable carbohydrates. When a more invasive treatment is necessary, caries are removed and the cavities are restored with glass ionomer cement or with flowable composites, where aesthetics procedures become indispensable. New materials and techniques are emerging to help with geriatric preventive and restorative needs.

ABSTRACT

Com o objetivo de testar a qualidade das restaurações realizadas após a remoção de cárie de raiz com laser de alta potência, realizamos esse trabalho. Lesões de cárie radicular foram induzidas em fragmentos dentais humanos (n=154) através de contaminação com o S. mutans. Obtidas as lesões, essas foram removidas com instrumento cortante rotatório (ICR) em baixa rotação (grupo controle) ou com o laser de Er,Cr:YSGG, (λ=2,78 μm, taxa de repetição= 20 Hz, duração de pulso na ordem de 140 a 150 μs, energia por pulso de 0 a 300 mJ) em 13 potências diferentes entre 1 e 4 W, em intervalos de 0,25 W entre cada grupo (n=11 por grupo). Para a remoção de cárie, foi utilizada a peça de mão 2415 e a fibra de safira modelo “G” (Ø= 600 μm) posicionada a 1 mm das amostras (modo não contato). Após a remoção das lesões de cárie e mensuração do tempo necessário para este passo operatório, uma amostra de cada grupo foi preparada para microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Em seguida, as demais foram condicionadas com Clearfil SE Bond, restauradas com resina composta de baixa viscosidade e submetidas à termociclagem (1.000 ciclos de 5°C e 55°C) e então imersas em solução de azul de metileno a 2 % para teste de microinfiltração. Depois desta etapa, as amostras foram seccionadas e analisadas em microscopia luz para a...


The present study aimed to compare the sealing ability of root caries restoration after caries removal with bur or Er,Cr:YSGG laser. Seventy two extracted human carious-free molars and premolars were used. After the in vitro root caries induction using S. mutans, the carious lesions were removed either by the conventional technique using burs (control), or by the Er,Cr:YSGG laser ((λ=2,78 μm, repetition rate= 20 Hz, pulse duration around 150 μs, energy per pulse of 0 to 300 mJ, non-contact mode), using 13 different parameters, between 1 and 4,0 W. For the irradiation procedures, a 600 μm tip was used. During caries removal, preparation time was recorded for all groups. After that, one sample of each group was observed in scanning electron microscopy (MEV), and the others were conditioned with Clearfil SE Bond and restored with a flowable composite. Then, the samples were termocycled (1000 Cycles) and immersed into a 2 % methylene blue solution for microlekage analysis. These samples were sectioned and analyzed under light microscopy for microleakage index calculation. Other characteristics, such as the dentin/composite interface area, the cavity depth and the presence of residual caries under the restorations, were also evaluated. The data were statistically analyzed by either ANOVA complemented by the Tukey’s test or Kruskall-Wallis...
