ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effect of coinitiator solutions and self-adhesive resin cement on the early retention of glass-fiber posts. Cylindrical glass-fiber posts were luted into 40 incisor roots with different adhesion strategies (n = 10): SB2, Single Bond 2 + conventional resin cement (RelyX ARC); AP, Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus (SBMP) activator + primer + ARC; APC, SBMP activator + primer + catalyst + ARC; and UNI, self-adhesive cement (RelyX Unicem). Pull-out bond strength results at 10 min after cementation showed APC > UNI > SB2 = AP (P < 0.05). The adhesion strategy significantly affected early bonding to root canals.

The fluoride release of restorative materials in deionized water has been the subject of many studies, but the behavior of these materials under conditions of acid challenge that simulates the oral cavity, needs to be further explored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the fluoride release of restorative materials in two storage protocols: deionized water and pH-cycling system (demineralizing solution-pH 4.3 and remineralizing solution-pH 7.0) for 15 days. Eight disks of each material (Vitremer-positive control, Dyract AP, Ariston pHc, Definite®, Tetric®Ceram and Z100-negative control) were prepared (11.0 mm x 1.5 mm) and suspended individually in 4.0 mL of each solution, which were daily changed. Daily fluoride release was analyzed with an ion specific electrode (Orion 9609) by the direct method or after HMDS-facilitated diffusion, following 1, 7 and 15 days. The values obtained were converted into µgF/mm² and the data analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (p< 0.05). The results showed that all materials released more fluoride in the pH-cycling system, except for Ariston pHc which maintained a constant release during the experiment. The highest fluoride release was presented by the positive control, Vitremer in pH-cycling and by Ariston pHc, in deionized water. The negative control Z100 and the resins Definite® and Tetric®Ceram did not present statistically significant differences.
ABSTRACT
O flúor tem um papel importante na estrutura dentária diminuindo a desmineralização e potencializando a remineralização. É fundamental conhecer o comportamento dos materiais restauradores no que diz respeito a liberação de flúor, não só em água deionizada, mas também em condições de desafio ácido. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a liberação de flúor de 6 materiais restauradores, em dois meios de imersão, água deionizada e sistema de ciclagem de pH entre, por 15 dias. Os materiais utilizados foram o Vitremer(VIT), o Dyract (DYR), o Ariston (A), o Tetric Ceram (TET), o Definite (DEF) e o Z 100. Para cada material foram confeccionados 16 corpos-de-prova na forma de discos (11 mm de diâmetro e 1,5 mm de espessura), os quais foram armazenados individualmente em 4 ml de cada solução, sendo 8 para cada meio de imersão. Na ciclagem de pH, o material era mantido 6 horas na solução desmineralizante e 18 horas na solução remineralizante. As soluções foram trocadas diariamente e os espécimes armazenados durante 15 dias. A liberação de flúor foi medida em 0,5 ml de solução adicionada a igual volume de TISAB II. Para os materiais Z 100, DEF e TET em água deionizada, a liberação de flúor foi obtida pela técnica da difusão facilitada por HMDS, nos períodos de 1, 7 e 15 dias. A análise da concentração de flúor foi medida por eletrodo específico para flúor, acoplado ao aparelho analisador de pH/F¯. Todos os materiais liberaram mais flúor no sistema de ciclagem de pH, exceto o Ariston. O pico de liberação foi maior no 1º dia, declinando do 2º dia em diante, e alcançando níveis baixos e constantes...
The fluoride has an important function in the dental structure reducing the desmineralization and increase the remineralization. It is fundamental to know the behavior of the restoratives materials relative the fluoride release, not only in deionized water, but also in conditions of acid challenge. The aim of the present study was to determine the fluoride release from 6 restoratives materials, in two storage solutions: deionized water and pH-cycling system solution over 15 days. 16 discs (11 mm diameter and 1,5 mm thickness) of materials, Vitremer (VIT), Dyract (DYR), Ariston pHc (A), Tetric Ceram (TET), Definite (DEF) and Z 100 were prepared and suspended individually in 4 mL of each solution, in number of 8 for each medium which was changed every 24 hours. In the pH-cycling system the specimens were immersed 6 hours in the demineralizing solution (pH 4,3) and 18 hours in remineralizing solution (pH 7,0). The solutions were changed daily during a period of 15 days. The fluoride release was determined after buffering the solutions with an equal volume of TISAB II. For the materials Z 100, DEF, TET in deionized water, the fluoride concentration was obtained by the microdiffusion method (Taves) in the periods of 1, 7 and 15 days. The analysis of the fluoride ion concentration in the solutions was measured using a fluoride ion sensitive electrode and a potent iometer ion-analyzer pH/F¯. The results of fluoride concentration in solutions eretransformed into released fluoride amount per material area (µgF¯/mm 2 ). All the materials released more fluoride...
