Effect of dentin moisture on the adhesive properties of luting fiber posts using adhesive strategies

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of dentin moisture (moist and dry) on the bonding of fiber posts to root dentin with different adhesive strategies (etch-and-rinse, self-etch, and self-adhesive). Seventy-two extracted single-rooted human teeth were endodontically treated and divided into six groups (n = 12) according to the moisture of dentin surface and adhesive systems as follows: a) etch-and-rinse/moist, b) etch-and-rinse/dry, c) self-etch/moist, d) self-etch/dry, e) self-adhesive/moist, and 6) self-adhesive/dry. The specimens were sectioned into six slices for push-out bond strength (BS), nanoleakage (NL) by SEM, and Vickers microhardness (VHN) of the resin cement. A universal testing machine (AG-I, Shimadzu Autograph) was used at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until post extrusion, with a load cell of 50 kg for evaluation of the push-out strength. Data on BS, NL, and VHN were evaluated by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Dentin moisture as the main factor was not significantly different for the push-out test. However, higher BS values can be observed for the etch-and-rinse group. A lower percentage of NL was found in the dry dentin groups. The moisture pattern was not significant in the hardness values for the pre-etching groups. Additional moisture did not increase the evaluated properties.

Effect of the application of different concentrations of Edta on the adhesion of fiber posts using self-adhesive cements

Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the application of different concentrations of EDTA on the adhesion of fiber posts to root dentin using self-adhesive resin cements. After endodontic treatment, 78 single roots were randomly divided into six groups (n = 13) according to the combination of the following factors: surface dentin treatment - control (distilled water), 17% EDTA and 24% EDTA; and self-adhesive resin cement - RelyX U200 (RX); and Multilink Speed (ML). After fiber post cementation, six slices were obtained for each root. Ten roots of each group were used for bond strength (BS) and three for microhardness (MH) evaluations. Data obtained from BS and MH tests for each resin cement were subjected to two-way ANOVA (surface treatment vs. root region) and to a post-hoc Tukey's test (α = 0.05). The lowest BS value was observed in the 24% EDTA group for RX cement, whereas the highest values for ML cement were observed for the control group in the middle and apical regions. In the MH test, the lowest value for RX was observed for 24% EDTA in the cervical region, whereas and the highest value for the ML cement was observed in the control group. Regarding both self-adhesive resin cements tested, the application of 24% EDTA was not able to improve the adhesion of fiber posts to root canal.

Effect of self-etching primer associated to hydrofluoric acid or silane on bonding to lithium disilicate

Abstract To evaluate the effect of combining 5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) and silane (SI) with the self-etching ceramic primer on the immediate and after 1-year of water storage on bonding efficacy, conditioning pattern (CP) and chemical interaction (CI) to the lithium disilicate. A total of 16 CAD/CAM blocks of lithium disilicate (LD) were cut into four square sections (n=64). For bonding efficacy evaluation, the LD specimens were divided into 4 groups (n=10): 1) HF+SI; 2) self-etching ceramic primer (MEP); 3) HF+MEP; 4) MEP+SI. After each treatment, an adhesive system was applied and Tygon matrices were filled with a dual-cured resin cement followed by light curing. Cylinder specimens (0.8 mmx0.5mm) were stored in water (37 °C for 24 h or 1-year) and submitted to the μSBS test (2-way ANOVA and Tukey's test; a=0.05). CP and CI were only evaluated qualitatively. No significant difference on the μSBS was observed between groups (p=0.73), but reduced μSBS was observed after 1-year of water storage (p>0.0001). After application of HF+SI and MEP, reduction in a number of siloxane bonds was observed, suggesting the coupling of SI on the LD surface. HF or HF+MEP produced a higher dissolution of the glassy matrix than the use of MEP alone. The MEP can be an alternative to traditional ceramic treatment once the chemical interaction and long-term bond strength were similar between both groups. The association of hydrofluoric acid or silane with a self-etching ceramic primer did not add any benefits in terms of chemical interaction and bonding stability.

Resumo Avaliar o efeito da combinação de ácido fluorídrico ou silano com o primer autocondicionante de cerâmicas sobre a eficácia da união imediata e após 1 ano de armazenamento em água, padrão de condicionamento e interação química desses tratamentos com o dissilicato de lítio. Um total de 16 blocos CAD/CAM de dissilicato de lítio (DL) foram cortados em quatro seções quadradas (n=64). Os espécimes de DL foram divididos em 4 grupos: 1) ácido fluorídrico a 5% + silano (HF + SI); 2) primer autocondicionante de cerâmica (MEP); 3) HF + MEP; 4) MPE + SI. Após cada tratamento, o sistema adesivo foi aplicado e as matrizes Tygon foram preenchidas com cimento resinoso dual (Variolink® II), seguido de fotopolimerização. Espécimes em forma de cilindro (0.8 mmÆ x 0.5 mm), foram armazenados em água (37 °C por 24h ou 1 ano) e submetidos ao teste μSBS (ANOVA dois fatores e teste de Tukey; a=0,05). Para avaliação das interações químicas por Espectroscopia Raman, os espécimes de DL foram divididos em 3 grupos (n=4): 1) sem tratamento (DL); 2) HF + SI; e 3) MEP. Para avaliação do padrão de condicionamento da superfície cerâmica após os tratamentos por MEV, os espécimes de DL foram divididos em 3 grupos (n=3): 1) DL; 2) HF; 3) MEP; e 4) HF + MEP. Ambos os métodos foram avaliados apenas qualitativamente. Não foi observada diferença significativa na μSBS imediata entre os grupos (p=0,73), mas após 1 ano de armazenamento das amostras em água, reduziu μSBS (p>0,0001). HF ou HF + MEP produziram uma maior dissolução da matriz vítrea do que o uso de MEP sozinho. Após a aplicação de SI e MEP, observou-se redução de ligações de siloxano, sugerindo o acoplamento da camada de silano na superfície do DL. O primer autocondicionante cerâmico pode ser uma alternativa ao tratamento cerâmico tradicional, uma vez que a interação química e a resistência de união a longo prazo, quando comparada ao tratamento tradicional foram estatisticamente semelhantes. A associação de ácido fluorídrico ou agente de acoplamento silano com um primer autocondicionante de cerâmicas não agregou nenhum benefício em termos de interação química e estabilidade.

Effect of conditioning protocols and ultrasonic application of an infiltrant resin in white spot lesions

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate different conditioning protocols and sonic/ultrasonic application of an infiltrant resin (IR) in artificial white spot lesions (AWSL). the V/L surfaces of 48 molars were induced to an AWSL and divided in 6 groups, according to the conditioning protocols and application technique: 15% hydrochloric acid (HA) + manual application of the IR; HA + 37% phosphoric acid (PA) + manual application of the IR; HA + ultrasonic application (U) of the IR; HA + sonic application (S) of the IR; PA+HA+S; and PA+HA+U. For the Penetration Depth (PD), the crowns were etched with HA for 120s. The IR Icon® (DMG) was applied according to the manufacturer`s instructions. The crowns were dye penetrated (0.1% red fluorophore rhodamine B isothiocyanate for 12h) and bleached with 30% hydrogen peroxide for 12 h. The discs were immersed in a 50% ethanol solution, containing 100 µM of sodium fluorescein. The PD (in µm) was measured using confocal laser scanning microscopy (20x). The bond strength (BS) was performed by michoshear test (0.5 mm/min). Data were submitted to 2-way ANOVA and Tukey (α=0.05). For BS, the interaction was not significant (p>0.05). For PD, the main factors were significant (application - p<0.001; conditioning technique - p=0.003). The ultrasonic application showed the highest PD values. PA+HA presented higher results than HA. The sonic/ultrasonic applications and the use of phosphoric acid prior to hydrochloric acid improved PD of the infiltrant resin. Conditioning protocols or application techniques did not influence BS values.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar diferentes protocolos de condicionamento e a aplicação sônica/ultrassônica de uma resina infiltrante (RI) em lesões de mancha branca produzidas artificialmente (LMBA). As superfícies vestibulares/linguais de 48 molares foram induzidas à formação de LMBA e divididas em 6 grupos, de acordo com os protocolos de condicionamento e técnica de aplicação da resina infiltrante: ácido hidroclorídrico 15% (AH) + aplicação manual da RI; AH + ácido fosfórico 37% (AF) + aplicação manual da RI; AH + aplicação ultrassônica da RI (U); AH + aplicação sônica da RI (S); AF + AH + S; e AF + AH + U. para o grau de penetração (GP), condicionou-se as coroas com AH por 120 s. A RI Icon® (DMG) foi aplicada de acordo com as instruções do fabricante. As coroas foram coradas (rodamina B 0,1% por 12 h) e clareadas com peróxido de hidrogênio 30% por 12 h. os discos foram imersos em solução de etanol 50%, contendo 100 µM de fluoresceína sódica. O GP (em µm) foi mensurado por meio de microscopia confocal a laser (20´). A resistência de união (RU) foi calculada pelo teste de microcisalhamento (0,5 mm/min). Os dados foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA 2 fatores e Tukey (α=0,05). Para RU, a interação não foi significante (p>0,05). Para GP, os fatores principais foram significantes (técnica de aplicação - p<0,001; protocolos de condicionamento - p=0,003). A aplicação U mostrou os maiores valores de GP. AF+AH demonstrou resultados superiores ao grupo AH. As aplicações sônica/ultrassônica e o uso do ácido fosfórico antes do ácido hidroclorídrico aumentaram o GP da resina infiltrante. Os protocolos de condicionamento ou as técnicas de aplicação não influenciaram os valores de RU.

Influence of different burs and acid ultrasonic agitation on the bonding of fiber posts to root dentin

Aim: The objective is to evaluate the influence of different burs used to prepare the root canal space and acid ultrasonic agitation on bond strength (BS) between glass fiber posts (GFP) and root dentin. Methods: After endodontic treatment, the root canal spaces of 36 extracted human canines were prepared, according to the rotary instrument used (n=18): carbide bur (CB), provided by the post manufacturer and a diamond bur (DB). In both groups, the fiber posts were cemented with the adhesive system Ambar and resin cement Allcem, following the manufacturer`s instructions. Previously to the cementation procedures, the groups were subdivided into 2 groups (n=9), according to the phosphoric acid application mode: conventional etching (CE) and active etching (AE), performed by ultrasonic tip, both for 15s. Before the cementation procedures and after the acid application, 1 root of each group was randomly selected for ultrastructural morphological evaluation by SEM. After 1 week of the cementation, 8 specimens per group were transversely sectioned into six 1-mm thick slices, the root canal regions (cervical, medium and apical) were identified and the push-out test was performed to evaluate BS. Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α=0.05). Results: The results showed that the cross-product interaction of all factors was significant (P=0.035). Higher bond strength values were obtained when a DB with conventional etching, instead of CB, was used to prepare the root post space. Conclusion: It may be concluded that the use of diamond burs with conventional etching yields high BS values in all root canal thirds

Effect of the Bis-Dimethylamino Benzydrol Coinitiator on the Mechanical and Biological Properties of a Composite

Abstract To examine the effect of the alternative coinitiator 4,4'bis dimethylamino benzydrol (BZN) in degree of conversion (DC), mechanical and biological properties of experimental composites. The coinitiator BZN was used in three concentrations (0.2, 0.5 and 1.2%), and the coinitiator DMAEMA was used as control at the same concentrations as above. The molar concentration of camphorquinone (CQ) and coinitiators was kept constant (1:1). The composites were manipulated and submitted to microhardness test (VHN), flexural and compressive strength (in MPa), elastic modulus (GPa), DC (FT-IR) and in vitro cytotoxicity (against 3T3 fibroblastic cells) of the experimental resins. Data were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey post-test (α=0.05). The experimental composite resin with BZN showed higher DC values compared to control DMAEMA groups. For the mechanical properties, microhardness values were higher in BZN groups; flexural strength and elastic modulus were similar between all the groups. Compressive strength for groups BZN0.5 and DMAEMA0.5 were not statistically different, being the lowest values attributed to group BZN0.2. The experimental resins with BZN and DMAEMA were considered nontoxic against 3T3 fibroblasts. The inclusion of the coinitiator BZN in experimental composites was considered nontoxic against 3T3 fibroblast cells, without compromising DC and mechanical properties.

Resumo Analisar o efeito do co-iniciador alternativo 4,4'bisdimetilaminobenzidrol (BZN) no grau de conversão (GC) e nas propriedades mecânicas e biológicas de resinas compostas experimentais. O co-iniciador BZN foi utilizado em três concentrações (0,2, 0,5 e 1,2), e o co-iniciador DMAEMA como controle, nas mesmas concentrações acima. A concentração molar entre canforoquinona (CQ) e os co-iniciadores foi mantida constante (1:1). As resinas compostas foram manipuladas e submetidas aos testes de microdureza (VHN), resistência à compressão e flexural (em MPa), módulo de elasticidade (em GPa), GC (em %, por meio de espectroscopia micro-Raman e FTIR com KBr), citotoxicidade in vitro (frente às células fibroblásticas 3T3) das resinas experimentais. Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA 1 fator e pós-teste de Tukey (α=0,05). As resinas compostas experimentais com o BZN apresentaram GC e propriedades mecânicas satisfatórias, além de serem consideradas atóxicas a fibroblastos 3T3. A inclusão do co-iniciador BZN à resina composta foi considerada não tóxica frente a células fibroblásticas 3T3 e sem comprometer o grau de conversão e as propriedades mecânicas da mesma.

Is the bonding of self-adhesive cement sensitive to root region and curing mode?

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of two curing techniques on the degree of conversion (DC) of resin cements and on bond strength (BS) of fiber posts in different regions of root dentin. Material and Methods Twenty single-rooted premolars were endodontically treated, and the post spaces were prepared. The roots were randomly divided into two groups (n=10), according to the activation mode of the resin cement RelyX™ U200 (3M ESPE Saint Paul, MN, USA): conventional (continuous activation mode) and soft-start activation mode (Ramp). The posts (WhitePost DC/FGM) were cemented according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and, after one week, the roots were cross-sectioned into six discs each of 1-mm thickness, and the cervical, medium, and apical thirds of the root canals were identified. The DC was evaluated under micro-Raman spectroscopy and the BS was evaluated by the push-out test. The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Results Neither the activation mode nor the root regions affected the DC of the resin cement. Higher BS was achieved in the soft-start group (p=0.036); lower BS was observed in the apical third compared to the other root regions (p<0.001). Irrespective of the activation mode and root region, the mixed failure mode was the most prevalent. Conclusion The BS of fiber posts to root canals can be improved by soft-started polymerization. The DC was not affected by the curing mode.

Effect of bleaching agents containing fluoride or calcium on enamel microhardness, roughness and permeability

To evaluate the effect of different in-office bleaching agents on the permeability, roughness and surface microhardness of human enamel. Methods: For evaluation of roughness and microhardness, 40 hemi-faces of 20 premolars were subjected to initial roughness (Ra parameter) and microhardness (VHN) measurements. Thirty-two premolar's crowns were used for permeability test. Then, all specimens were randomly divided into four groups: C - without bleaching (control), HP35 - bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP), HPF38 - 38% HP+fluoride, HPC35 - 35% HP+calcium. Final roughness (FR) and microhardness (FM) measurements were evaluated. For permeability, the 32 crowns were immersed in 1% sodium hypochlorite (20 min) and silver nitrate solutions (2 h) and subjected to developing solution under fluorescent light (16 h). Three sections from the crowns were analyzed in light microscope (100x) to evaluate the scores of permeability: Score 0 - no tracer agent penetration; Score 1 - less than half the thickness of enamel penetration; Score 2 - tracer agent reaching half the enamel thickness; Score 3 - entire enamel depth penetration, without reaching dentin and Score 4 - tracer agent reaching dentin. For roughness and microhardness evaluation were used one-way ANOVA and Dunnet post-test for independent samples, and t test for paired samples. For permeability, the data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests. Results: A significantly higher permeability and surface roughness were observed in groups HP35, HPF38 and HPC35 compared to the C group, as well as decreased microhardness (p<0.05). Conclusions: All bleaching agents increased permeability and surface roughness, and decreased microhardness of human enamel; thus, the addition of fluoride or calcium was not beneficial...

Antimicrobial Effect and Transdentinal Diffusion of New Intracanal Formulations Containing Nitrofurantoin or Doxycycline

The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro the antimicrobial effect and diffusion against E. faecalis of new intracanal medications on the external root surface. The medications tested were a placebo gel (PC); the new formulations with either 3% nitrofurantoin (NIT) or 3% doxycycline hydrochloride (DX) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel as positive control. The new formulations were tested using the traditional agar diffusion test (ADT) and an adapted agar diffusion method (AADM), where the teeth were filled with the medications and left to diffuse on agar surface seeded with E. faecalis. In the ADT, the larger zones of microbial growth inhibition were seen in DX, followed by CHX and NIT. In the AADM test only DX and CHX showed antimicrobial effect. Statistically significant differences between groups were observed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (2=47.126; p<0.001). The new intracanal formulations with DX and NIT have demonstrated antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis, but only DX was able to diffuse through the dentinal tubules and exert antimicrobial effect outside the roots.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar, in vitro, o efeito antibacteriano e a difusão frente ao E. faecalis, de novas medicações intracanal na superfície externa da raiz. As medicações testadas foram um gel placebo (PC), as novas formulações quer com nitrofurantoína a 3% (NIT) ou hidrocloridrato de doxiciclina a 3%(DX) e um gel de clorexidina a 2% (CHX) como controle positive. As novas formulações foram testadas usando o tradicional teste de difusão em agar (ADT) e um método de difusão adaptado (AADM), onde os dentes foram preenchidos com as medicações e deixados a difundir numa superfície de agar semeada com E. faecalis. No ADT, a maior área de inibição foi registada para DX, seguida por CHX e NIT. No teste AADM, apenas DX e CHX demonstraram ação antimicrobiana. Foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os grupos através do teste Kruskal-Wallis (X2=47.126; p<0.001). As novas formulações intracanais contendo DX e NIT demonstraram ação antimicrobiana quando em contacto com E. faecalis, mas apenas DX teve capacidade de difundir através dos túbulos dentinários e exercer ação antimicrobiana fora das raízes.

Effect of finishing and polishing on surface roughness of composite resins after bleaching

AIM : To evaluate the influence of finishing and polishing techniques on the surface roughness of two composite resins (CRs) subjected to bleaching procedure. METHODS : Forty-eight CR specimens were divided into six groups (n=8). For G1 to G3, a microhybrid CR (Opallis; FGM) was used, and G4 to G6, received a nanohybrid CR (Brilliant NewLine; Coltène/Whaledent). All specimens were subjected to bleaching procedure with 35% hydrogen peroxide (two 45-min applications, with a 5-day interval). The surface roughness of all specimens was evaluated before and after the bleaching and/or finishing/polishing (Ra parameter) by a roughness meter. After bleaching, the groups were subjected to finishing and polishing procedures: G2 and G5 - felt discs + diamond pastes; and G3 and G6 - silicon rubber tips. The control groups (G1 and G4) had no finishing or polishing treatment after bleaching. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's post-test, and t test for paired samples (a=0.05). RESULTS : bleaching treatment increased Ra values for the nanohybrid CR specimens, but both finishing/polishing techniques were able to reduce these values; for the microhybrid specimens, only finishing/polishing with silicon rubber tips decreased the roughness values. CONCLUSIONS : For both microhybrid and nanohybrid CRs, the silicon rubber tips were effective to reduce the surface roughness after bleaching procedure...

Avaliação da microdureza superficial de resinas compostas, variando os métodos de fotoativação / Microhardness evaluations of composite resins using different polymerization methods

Objetiva-se avaliar a eficiência de três métodos de fotoativação sobre quatro resinas compostas, através do ensaio de microdureza Knnop. Quatro resinas compostas foram selecionadas: R1-NaturalLook®- DFL, R2-Opallis®-FGM, R3-Ice®-SDI e R4-FiltekTMZ350XT 3M/ESPE. Um total de 120 amostras, divididas em 4 grupos experimentais (n=30), sendo 10 fotoativadas com luz halógena contínua (F1), 10 com o LED (F2) e 10 com luz halógena pulsátil (F3). A microdureza Knnop da superfície foi determinada em microdurômetro, sob uma carga de 50g por 15s, perfazendo um total de três indentações por amostra. Os dados obtidos foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey com 5% de significância. Para todos os materiais testados e métodos de fotoativação, a microdureza dos materiais R1 e R2 não foram influenciados pelos diferentes métodos (p>0,05), a microdureza do material R3 foi maior quando do uso da luz halógena contínua do que com luz halógena pulsátil (p<0,05) e a microdureza do material R4 quanto ao uso do LED foi inferior aos outros métodos. Das resinas microhíbridas a que apresentou microdureza superior foi a R3. A resina R4 obteve a melhor microdureza no estudo independente do método de fotoativação. A luz halógena continua apresentou resultado superior ao sistema de LED.

Objective is to evaluate the efficiency of three activation methods on four composite resins by testing microhardness Knnop. Four composites were selected: R1-NaturalLook®-DFL, R2-Opallis®-FGM, R3-Ice®-SDI and R4-FiltekTMZ350XT 3M/ESPE. A total of 120 samples were divided into 4 groups (n = 30), 10 light-cured with halogen light continuous (F1), 10 with LED (F2) and 10 with halogen light pulsed (F3). Microhardness Knnop surface was determined by microhardness under a load of 50g for 15s, for a total of three indentations per sample. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% significance. For all tested materials and methods of curing, the hardness of materials R1 and R2 were not influenced by different methods (p> 0.05), the hardness of the material R3 was greater when using halogen continuous light than halogen light pulsatile (p <0.05) and R4 microhardness of the material as the use of LED was less than other methods. Microhybrid resins that showed higher hardness was R3. The resin R4 achieved best in independent study hardness of polymerization method. The halogen light continuous showed superior results to LED system.

Laminados cerâmicos minimamente invasivos / Minimally invasive porcelain laminate veneers

As facetas diretas em resinas compostas podem ser indicadas para solucionar diversos problemas estéticos, como diastemas, modificações de forma, posição, cor e textura dos dentes anteriores, porém, este material é suscetível ao desgaste e à alteração na coloração, limitando assim, o resultado estético ao longo do tempo. Para compensar tais limitações, foram então propostas restaurações indiretas, tais como laminados cerâmicos. O aperfeiçoamento nas propriedades físicas e mecânicas desses materiais, associado à evolução dos sistemas adesivos e cimentos resinosos, promoveram uma adequada união da cerâmica à estrutura dentária, que proporcionou um aumento na longevidade e desempenho clínico desta modalidade de restauração

Resin composite veneers can solve many aesthetic problems, such as diastema, alterations in shape, position, color and texture of the anterior teeth, but this material is susceptible to wearing and discoloration, limiting the aesthetic result. To compensate for these limitations, indirect restorations, such as porcelain laminate veneers were proposed. The improvement and development in the physical and mechanical properties of ceramic systems, associated with the adhesive systems and resin cements, have resulted in an adequate bonding to tooth structure and ceramics, and thereby increasing the longevity and clinical performance of this type of restoration

Efeito de diferentes agentes clareadores de uso caseiro na microdureza superficial de resinas compostas: microhíbrida X nanohíbrida / Effect of different at-home bleaching agents in microhardness surface of resin composites: microhybrid X nanohybrid

Avaliou-se o efeito de agentes clareadores de uso caseiro na microdureza de resinas compostas (RC) microhíbrida e nanohíbrida. Foram confeccionados 30 corpos-de-prova (cp), divididos em seis grupos (n=5). Os grupos G1 a G3 utilizaram RC microhíbrida (Opallis), e os grupos G4 a G6, RC nanohíbrida (BrilliantNewLine). Os agentes clareadores utilizados foram: peróxido de hidrogênio 6% (PH) (White Class Cálcio) e peróxido de carbamida 16% (PC) (Whiteness Perfect). Após a confecção dos cp, o clareamento foi realizado: G1 e G4: grupo controle sem agente clareador, G2 e G5: PH - 28 dias, G3 e G6: PC - 28 dias, de acordo com as recomendações dos fabricantes. Em seguida, o teste de microdureza foi realizado. Os dados obtidos foram analisados por ANOVA e Tukey (5%). Os resultados de microdureza (HV) e desvio-padrão foram: G1-26,56 ± 3,9, G2-25,98 ± 3,3 e G3-24,94 ± 4,4; G4-27,24 ± 3,3; G5-32,02 ± 6,4 e 37,72 G6- ± 8,1. O único grupo que apresentou diferenças significativas para os outros foi o G6 (p <0,05), mas não diferiu significativamente em relação ao G5 (p = 0,0058). Concluiu-se que o uso de agentes clareadores de uso caseiro não afetou negativamente a microdureza das resinas compostas testadas.

It was evaluated the effects of home bleaching agents on microhardness of microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins. 30-of-body were made and divided into 6 groups (n=5). The groups G1 to G3 used a microhybrid CR (Opallis), while groups G4 to G6 used a nanohybrid CR (BrilliantNewLine). The bleaching agents used were: 6% hydrogen peroxide (PH) (White Class Cálcio) and 16% carbamide peroxide (PC) (Whiteness Perfect). After the specimens were prepared, the bleaching was realized as follows: G1 and G4: control group without bleaching agent, G2 and G5: PH - 28 days, G3 and G6: PC - 28 days, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. After it, the microhardness test was performed. The data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests (5%). The results of microhardness (HV) and standard deviation of each group were: G1- 26.56±3.9; G2- 25.98±3.3; G3- 24.94±4.4; G4- 27.24±3.3; G5- 32.02±6.4 and G6- 37.72±8.1. The only group that showed significant differences to the anothers was the G6 (p<0.05), but did not differ significantly in relation to G5 (p=0.0058). It was concluded that the use of home bleaching agents didn't affect negatively the microhardness of the composite resins tested.

Análise espectrofotométrica e visual do clareamento dental: relato de caso clínico / Spectrophotometric and visual analysis of dental bleaching: clinical case report

O trabalho apresenta descrição de um caso clínico de clareamento dental onde as alterações de cor foram avaliadas através de dois métodos: visual (utilizando escala Vita Clássica) e instrumental (utilizando espectrofotômetro Easyshade). Foi realizado clareamento dental de consultório com peróxido de hidrogênio a 35% Mix One Supreme (Villievie). A cor foi mensurada antes e após a realização do tratamento clareador com os dois métodos. O paciente relatou satisfação com a alteração de cor e esse resultado pôde ser comprovado tanto pela escala de cor quanto pelo espectrofotômetro. A técnica clareadora utilizada mostrou-se eficiente, porém, para resolver completamente o problema estético do paciente foi realizado também fechamento de diastema com resinas compostas fotopolimerizáveis.

Tooth color is considered a complexity phenomenon, influenced by coefficients such as environment illumination conditions, translucence, opacity, light spread, brightness, and structures and morphophysiological processes of sight. The aim of this study was to describe a clinical case of dental bleaching, in which the modifications of color were evaluated by two methods: visual (using Vita Classic scale) and instrumental (using Easyshade spectrophometer). A clinical dental bleaching was performed with hydrogen peroxide at 35% Mix One Supreme (Villievie). The color was measured before and after the bleaching with both methods. The patient reported satisfaction with the color alteration, and that result can be testified both by color scale and spectrophometer. The bleaching technique was very effective, however, in order to solve the esthetic problem completely, diastema was also closed with compound photopolymerizable resin.
