ABSTRACT

Aim: This study evaluated the irrigation penetration during root canal instrumentation and the clinical step in which the irrigation solution can be detected in the apical region. Materials and Methods: Twenty necrotic molars were divided according to the irrigation protocol, saline solution with manual active pressure, and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite with dripping delivery. Solution penetration assessment used a radiopaque component added to each irrigant solely before a periapical radiograph. Instrumentation sequence was: #10, and #15 K-files (step 1), cervical flaring using WaveOne Small (step 2), WaveOne Small at working length (step 3), Hero-642 #35/.02 (step 4), and Hero-642 #40/.02 (step 5). The step each contrasted-irrigant reached the 2-mm-apical region was registered. Shapiro-Wilk and Fisher's exact tests were used for comparisons. Results: In step 3, both contrasted-irrigants started to be detected in the apical region, and after step 5, contrasted-irrigants penetrated in 100% of the cases, without significant difference. Conclusion: Considering distal molar roots, the apical enlargement up to an instrument #40.02 favors the irrigation to reach the 2-mm apical region.

ABSTRACT

O cimento é um material indispensável no tratamento endodôntico, com a finalidade de preencher e selar os espaços entre os cones de guta-percha, unindo-os às paredes do canal radicular, promovendo o selamento na região apical, não permitindo que os fluídos provenientes dos tecidos periapicais possam gerar uma recontaminação do sistema de canais. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar radiograficamente a capacidade de penetração do cimento endodôntico AH Plus em canais laterais simulados em relação às técnicas de inserção com lima, cone de guta-percha principal e inserto ultrassônico. Material e método: Trinta pré-molares unirradiculares humanos com forames patentes foram preparados com brocas Gates- Glidden e Largo, e, logo a seguir, com sistema mecanizado e limas de níquel titânio K3. Seis canais laterais foram simulados em cada dente com brocas LN, dois em cada terço, com posterior irrigação ultrassônica passiva. Com os canais secos, os dentes foram divididos em três grupos de acordo com modo de inserção do cimento AH Plus ao canal. Ao término do preenchimento, radiografaram-se os dentes para posterior análise radiográfica. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que o preenchimento dos canais laterais simulados com o cimento AH Plus mostrou melhores resultados com a utilização de inserto ultrassônico.


The cement is an indispensable material in endodontic treatment, in order to fill and seal the spaces between the guta-percha points, linking them to the root canal, providing sealing in the apical region, not allowing the fluids from the tissue periapical can cause a recontamination of the channel system. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the radiographic penetration ability of AH Plus sealer in simulated lateral canals regarding insertion techniques with lime, cone guta-percha master point and ultrasonic insert. Material and method: Thirty human premolars unirradicular with patent foramen were prepared with Gates Glidden and Largo drills, followed by mechanized system files nickel-titanium K3. Six lateral canals were simulated in each tooth with LN drills, two in each third, followed by passive ultrasonic irrigation. With dry channels, three groups were created according to the method of insertion of the AH Plus sealer. At the end of root filling, teeth were radiographed for subsequent analysis. It was concluded that the filling of simulated lateral canals with AH Plus sealer showed better results with the use of ultrasonic insert.

ABSTRACT

Patients presented acute recurrences from Otorhinolaryngology treatments with unilateral symptoms compatible with maxillary sinusitis with a dental origin (MSDO). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed sinus extensive membrane thickening that was not visible at periapical exam associated to the maxillary molar infection in both cases. Respiratory structures assessment was possible using a 6-inches field of view CBCT. Non-surgical endodontic treatment (case 1) performed and retreatment (case 2) showed a fast symptoms relief. Recall examination after 15 days revealed healthy soft tissues with normal periodontal probing and no dental mobility. In addition, 15-day CBCTs revealed initial maxillary sinus membrane recovery after the endodontic approaches in the reported cases. No additional medical intervention nor antibiotics administration were necessary in these MSDO cases management. Long-term follow-up in such cases is advisable to exclude other potential dental or respiratory issues. Diagnose and follow-up using CBCT presented significant sinus membrane thick reduction with no symptom's recurrence after the endodontic treatment

ABSTRACT

A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar, ex vivo, a influência da conicidade dos instrumentos rotatórios de níquel-titânio (NiTi) no transporte apical de canais radiculares curvos com tomografia computadorizada. Vinte primeiros molares superiores humanos extraídos foram selecionados e divididos em dois grupos. Os canais radiculares no GrupoHERO 642 (n=10) foram preparados com instrumentos rotatórios de NiTi do sistema HERO 642, conicidade 0,02. Os canais radiculares do Grupo EASY ProDesign (n=10) foram preparados com instrumentos rotatórios de NiTi EASY ProDesign, conicidades múltiplas. O transporte apical foi mensurado comparando imagens de tomografia computadorizada antes do preparo, após o preparo com instrumentos # 35/.02 (Grupo HERO 642) e instrumento # 35/.04 (Grupo EASY ProDesign), e após o preparo com instrumento # 45/.02 (Grupo HERO 642) e instrumento # 40/.04 (Grupo EASY ProDesign). Os dados foram analisados utilizando ANOVA e o nível de significância p. 05. Os valores médios de transporte apical em milímetros (mm) para o Grupo HERO 642 foram 0,93 ± 0,48 mm (#35/.02) e 1,48 ± 0,63 mm (# 45/.02) e para o Grupo EASY ProDesign foram 0,82 ± 0,85 mm (# 35/.04) e 1,03 ± 0,92 mm (# 40/.04). Os instrumentos rotatórios de NiTi de conicidade 0,02 e de múltiplas conicidades mostraram desempenho similar em relação ao transporte apical em canais radiculares curvos.


The aim of this study was to evaluate ex vivo the influence of the taper of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments in apical transportation of curved root canals with computed tomography. Twenty extracted maxillary first molars were selected and divided into two groups. The mesiobuccal root canals in Group HERO 642 (n=10) were instrumented with HERO 642 rotary instruments, 0.02 taper. The mesiobuccal root canals in Group EASY ProDesing (n=10) were instrumented with EASY ProDesign rotary instruments, multiple tapers. Apical transportation was measured by comparing tomographic images before preparation, after the preparation with size 35, 0.02 taper (Group HERO 642) and size 35, 0.04 taper (Group EASY ProDesing), after the preparation with size 45, 0.02 taper (Group HERO 642) and size 40, 0.04 (Group EASY ProDesing). Data were analyzed using ANOVA, and significance was set at p.05. The preparation of curved root canals can be accomplished with instruments of diameters and taper larger than 0.02.

ABSTRACT

Com a evolução técnico-científica ocorrida na Endodontia, torna-se difícil selecionar qual instrumento rotatório é mais eficiente na remoção do material obturador para o retratamento endodôntico. A redução do tempo de trabalho é um fator importante na escolha dos instrumentos endodônticos. Sendo assim, procura-se uma técnica de desobturação rápida e eficiente, visando facilitar a remoção da guta percha dos canais radiculares, com benefícios tanto ao profissional quanto ao paciente. O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar o tempo para se conseguir obter o comprimento de trabalho (CT) dos canais radiculares, utilizando dois diferentes instrumentos pela técnica mecanizada. Para isso, 40 pré-molares inferiores extraídos foram aleatoriamente divididos em dois grupos (n=20), previamente obturados, armazenados e então desobturados. No Grupo 1 foram utilizados os instrumentos ProTaper® Universal D e no Grupo 2 os instrumentos Mtwo.R®. O tempo para obtenção do CT em dentes já tratados endodonticamente foi obtido através de um cronômetro. Os dados foram registrados em tabelas para serem analisados e posteriormente avaliados pelo teste t de Student. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatística entre os tempos dos dois grupos (p=0,69), porém os instrumentos ProTaper® Universal D foram mais velozes na remoção da guta percha quando foram utilizados os três instrumentos para chegar ao CT (p=0,02)...


Endodontics has advanced on science and techniques, due to this fact itÆs hard to select which is the most efficient rotary instrument to remove filling material when it comes to endodontic retreatment. Reduced working time is an important criteria on the choice of the instrument to be used. Thus, an efficient and fast un-filling technique is required to facilitate the removal of gutta percha from the root canals and assure benefits to both practitioner and patient. This study aimed to assess the time spent to get the root canalsÆ working length (WL) by using two different rotary instruments. Forty extracted mandible premolars were randomly divided into two groups (n=20). The teeth had been previously filled in with filling material then stored and finally they had been unfilled. In Group 1, the unfilling was performed wth ProTaper® Universal D, while for Group 2 the Mtwo.R® was used. A timer was used to determine the necessary time to get the WT on retreated teeth. Data had been recorded in a chart to following analyses by StudentÆs T Test. Results showed no statistical difference between times for both groups (p=0.69), although the ProTaper® Universal D instruments were faster on removing the gutta percha when three instruments were used to reach the WL (p=0.02)...

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The ultra-thin porcelain laminates provide the esthetic harmony to the smile compromised by the presence of diastema between maxillary incisors. Objective: To report the dental aesthetic recovery with ultra-thin porcelain laminates, so-called "contact lenses". Case report: Patient sought treatment reporting presence of diastema between the anterior teeth. After the clinical examination, impressions were made to obtain study models and diagnostic wax-up. Home bleaching was conducted using 10% carbamide peroxide for 21 days. Next, the mock-up with bisacrylic self-curing composite resin and the functional impression were conducted. For cementation, dental surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid followed by applying the adhesive system. The resin cement was inserted within internal part of the contact lenses previously treated with hydrof luoric acid and silane, and the prosthetic samples were positioned over the labial surfaces of the anterior teeth. After light-curing, the finishing procedure was performed. Conclusion: Ultra-thin porcelain laminates (contact lenses) were viable, efficient, and conservative procedures for recovering dental esthetic, with no need of invasive procedures.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Endodontic obturation consists of root canal filling by antiseptic or inert materials that promote a three-dimensional sealing and stimulate the repair process without interfering with it. Different obturation techniques and materials have been proposed to meet this requirement. Objective: To compare the root canal filling promoted by lateral condensation technique, Tagger's hybrid technique and McSpadden technique by assessing the filling quality through digital radiograph. Material and methods: A total of 45 extracted single-rooted human teeth were used and randomly divided into three experimental groups. After instrumentation, the teeth were filled by lateral condensation (n=15), Hybrid Tagger (n=15), and McSpadden techniques (n=15). Then, digital radiographs were taken with projected increased 10 times, at mesial-distal and buccolingual directions. Results: Visually, few empty spaces were detected at the three root thirds of teeth filled by different techniques. However, statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis) found no differences among the different groups, neither among the different thirds nor between both incidences evaluated. Conclusion: It was concluded that the three obturation techniques exhibited similar behavior in relation to the sealing of the root canal through digital radiograph.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The success of endodontic treatment is directly related to the morphology domain and endodontic infection control. Some factors such as procedural errors (instrumentation, obturation apical deviations and perforations) can cause postoperative pain. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain in endodontically treated teeth at Dentistry Post-graduation Clinic of Meridional School (IMED/CEOM), Passo Fundo/Brazil from January 2010 to June 2013. Material and methods: The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board. After collection, data were analyzed regarding the occurrence of postoperative pain. This research is a quantitative cross-sectional study, whose sample comprised 302 medical records of patients undergoing endodontic treatment from a non-probability sampling. The review of follow-up appointment charts was carried out by the researcher. Results: During the research period and analysis of 302 medical records, 30.80% showed postoperative pain. However, 69.20 % did not feel any pain. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the pain was more frequent when associated with vital pulp, and these data are relevant to the dental clinic.

ABSTRACT

Introduction and Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate histologically the passive use of ultrasound for cleaning the apical portion of flattened root canal systems. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 20 extracted human mandibular incisors which were divided into two groups after being prepared with the rotary system Hero 642 up to size #45 surgical diameter: Group A - final irrigation with 4 ml of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite by the conventional technique using a syringe, and Group B - final irrigation with 4 ml of 2.5%, sodium hypochlorite divided into 1 ml amounts which were activated with the passive use of ultrasound for 15 seconds each time, generating a total activation period of 1 minute. Following, the teeth were subjected to morphometric analysis to evaluate the cleaning ability promoted in both groups. Results and Conclusion: Statistical analysis showed significant difference (p < 0.05) between the groups, with the passive ultrasonic irrigation resulting in cleaner canals.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a apicetomia é uma modalidade de cirurgia paraendodôntica que consiste na seção da porção apical da raiz. É realizada quando não há a regressão da lesão apical depois de esgotadas as alternativas da terapêutica endodôntica convencional, numa tentativa de eliminação dos micro-organismos apicais e seus produtos tóxicos. Objetivos: o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a influência do ângulo de corte da raiz na apicetomia em relação à microinfiltração apical, comparando as técnicas de corte do ápice radicular em 90o e 45o. Métodos: utilizaram-se vinte incisivos centrais superiores instrumentados e obturados, divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos. No grupo A foi realizada a seção da porção apical em 90o e no grupo B, em 45o. Para todos os grupos foi confeccionada retrocavidade com ultrassom e retrobturação com mineral trióxido agregado (MTA). Resultados: os dados obtidos por meio da medida de infiltração linear do corante foram submetidos ao teste Kolmogorov-Smirnov e ao teste de Lavene, que apresentaram distribuição normal e homogeneidade (p > 0,05). Realizou-se, então, a análise inferencial, verificando se existe diferença entre as médias dos grupos através do teste de Anova. Não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa (p = 0,344) entre os grupos. Conclusão: o ângulo de corte da raiz não influenciou a microinfiltração, pois ambos os cortes avaliados permitiram infiltração apical.

ABSTRACT

A complexidade anatômica das raízes dentárias dificulta a realização de um adequado preparo biomecânico, especialmente em canais radiculares com achatamento no sentido mésiodistal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, in vitro, a eficácia do uso do ultrassom de forma passiva na irrigação final de canais radiculares achatados na remoção de corante aderido às paredes dentinárias. Vinte dentes incisivos centrais inferiores foram abordados e os canais preenchidos com tinta acrílica vermelha. Todos os espécimes foram preparados utilizando os sistemas de instrumentação rotatória Hero 642 e Protaper até um preparo apical de diâmetro 40, 1 mm aquém do ápice. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: Grupo A – irrigação final de hipoclorito de sódio 2,5% apenas com o uso de seringa e Grupo B – irrigação final com hipoclorito de sódio a 2,5% dispensados pela seringa e ativados pelo ultrassom de forma passiva durante 1 minuto. Os elementos dentários foram avaliados com auxílio de um microscópio óptico para determinar a porcentagem de área do canal radicular que ficou limpa e a porcentagem que permaneceu com o corante. A média percentual das áreas limpas do Grupo A foi de 87,93% e do Grupo B de 92,58%. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os dois grupos. Concluiu-se neste trabalho que ambas as técnicas de irrigação avaliadas não foram eficazes na remoção completa do corante do interior dos canais radiculares achatados e que o uso do ultrassom de forma passiva durante a irrigação final não resultou em maior remoção do corante aderido às paredes dos canais radiculares


Root canal complex anatomy makes it difficult to perform the appropriate cleaning and shaping, especially in flattened root canals. The purpose of this study was evaluating the cleaning capacity of passive ultrasound irrigation in oval canals. Twenty oval-shaped single-rooted mandibular incisors were accessed and filled with acrylic red dye. All the specimens were prepared using two systems of Ni-Ti Rotary instruments: Hero 642 and Protaper, until an apical size 40, 1 mm from the apex. The sample were divided in two groups: Group A – final irrigation with 2,5% NaOCl delivered by syringe and Group B – final irrigation with 2,5% NaOCl delivered by syringe and activated by ultrasound for 1 minute. The teeth were evaluated with an optic microscope to determine the percentage of root canal areas that were clean and the percentage that remained colored. The mean percentage of clean areas in Group A was 87,93% and in Group B was 92,58%. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups. It was concluded that passive ultrasonic irrigation did not enhance the ability to remove the dye from the canal walls

ABSTRACT

This study used computed tomography (CT) to compare apical canal transportation in mesiobuccal canals of maxillary molars prepared with different techniques. Sixty teeth were assigned to 3 groups (n=20), according to the technique used for root canal instrumentation: hand instrumentation with K-Flexofiles, K-Flexofiles activated by an oscillatory system and ProTaper NiTi rotary system. Pre and post-instrumentation CT images were obtained 3 mm short of the apical foramen and were superimposed to compare canal transportation. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test using the SPSS software (α=0.05). In the buccal direction, the manual technique produced significantly less canal transportation than the oscillatory technique (p<0.05) and both were similar to the rotary technique (p>0.05). In the distal and distopalatal directions, the oscillatory technique produced more canal transportation (p<0.05). In the mesiopalatal direction, the oscillatory technique produced more canal transportation than the manual technique (p<0.05), and both were similar to the rotary technique (p>0.05). In conclusion, all techniques produced canal transportation, and the oscillatory technique produced the greatest removal of root dentin toward the innerside of the root curvature.


Este estudo utilizou a tomografia computadorizada (TC) para comparar o transporte do canal radicular nos canais mésio-vestibulares de molares superiores preparados por diferentes técnicas. Sessenta molares superiores foram divididos em 3 grupos (n=20) de acordo com a técnica utilizada para o preparo do canal radicular: instrumentação manual com limas K-Flexofile, limas K-Flexofile acopladas a um sistema oscilatório e sistema rotatório ProTaper. Imagens de TC pré e pós-instrumentação foram obtidas 3 mm aquém do forame apical e superpostas para comparar o transporte do canal. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pela Análise de Variância (ANOVA) e Teste de Tukey utilizando o software SPSS (α=0,05). Na direção vestibular, a técnica manual produziu significantemente menos transporte do canal radicular do que a técnica oscilatória (p<0,05) e ambas foram similares a técnica rotatória (p>0,05). Nas direções distal e disto-palatina, a técnica oscilatória produziu mais transporte do canal radicular (p<0,05). Na direção mésio-palatina, a técnica oscilatória produziu mais transporte do canal radicular do que a técnica manual (p<0,05), sendo que ambas foram similares à técnica rotatória (p>0,05). Em conclusão, todas as técnicas produziram transporte do canal radicular e a técnica oscilatória produziu os maiores desgastes de dentina na direção interna da curvatura.

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the occurrence of canal transportation in the apical third of simulated root canals instrumented with progressive and constant taper shaft designed rotary instruments. Thirty simulated resin canals were prepared with progressive taper (ProTaper Universal) and constant taper (Hero 642 and K3) Ni-Ti rotary systems, with 10 canals per group. The pre and post-instrumentation images of the canals were superimposed and the composite images were analyzed with Image Pro Plus 5.0 software. Centering ability of the instruments was assessed by subtracting the amount of resin removed at the inner wall from that removed at the outer wall. Total amount (in mm) of resin removed was recorded by adding the amount of resin removed at the inner and outer walls, comparing the pre and post-preparation images. Data were analyzed statistically by Kruskal Wallis and Median tests (α=5%). There was statistically significant difference (p<0.05) among the groups. ProTaper produced the greatest canal transportation in the apical third. In conclusion, canal transportation occurred in all groups; the constant taper rotary instruments (Hero 642 and K3) presented greater centering ability towards the original canal curve and caused less canal transportation than the progressive taper instruments (ProTaper).


Este estudo investigou a ocorrência do transporte do canal no terço apical de canais simulados preparados com instrumentos rotatórios de conicidade progressiva e constante. Trinta canais simulados em blocos de resina foram preparados com sistemas rotatórios de Ni-Ti de conicidade progressiva (ProTaper Universal) e de conicidade constante (Hero 642 e K3), com 10 canais simulados por grupo. As imagens pré e pós-operatórias dos canais foram superpostas e analisadas com o Programa Image Pro Plus 5.0. A capacidade de manter a centralização do canal foi avaliada pela subtração da quantidade de resina removida da parede interna daquela removida na parede externa. A quantidade total de resina (em mm) removida foi obtida por meio da soma da resina removida das paredes internas e externas do canal, comparando as imagens pré e pós-operatórias. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste de Kruskal Wallis e Teste das medianas (α=5%). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p<0.05) entre os grupos. O Sistema ProTaper produziu o maior transporte do canal no terço apical. Em conclusão, o transporte do canal ocorreu em todos os grupos; os intrumentos rotatórios de conicidade constante (Hero 642 e k3) apresentaram uma grande capacidade de manter o canal centrado e causaram menos transporte do canal do que os instrumentos de conicidade progressiva (ProTaper).

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study evaluated the incidence of a fourth canal in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary first molars, investigating the importance of microscopic analysis of its trajectory in relation to the mesiobuccal canal. Methods: The analysis was performed of 65 randomly extracted maxillary first molars, with previous endodontic coronal opening, obtained from the Univille University tooth bank. The teeth were numbered and kept hydrated in distilled water. Compensatory wear was performed to widen the cavity in the mesiobuccal direction, foreseeing the presence of the mesiopalatal canal. A dental microscope was used to confirm presence of a groove (or ''fin'') and orifices in canals in the mesiobuccal root, and evaluate the presence of anastomosis between the root canals, following the modified method of Stropko1. Results: The incidence of the fourth canal (52.3%) was higher when microscopically observed, than clinically observed (29.3%). The results achieved by the modified method of Stropko1 demonstrated that most root canals (67.6%) presented union. Conclusion: There was higher incidence of the mesiopalatal canal (52.3%) observed in the microscopic analysis when compared with that observed in the clinical analysis (29.2%). The drying method allowed confirmation of union between canals in 67.6% of teeth. The combination of information achieved by radiographic examination of the trajectories of the mesiobuccal root and microscopic evaluation by the drying method allows the professional to gain better knowledge of the tooth under treatment, providing.


Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou a incidência do quarto canal em raízes mésio-vestibulares de primeiros molares superiores, investigando a importância da análise microscópica na sua trajetória em relação ao canal mésio-vestibular. Métodos: A análise foi executada em 65 primeiros molares superiores extraídos, que apresentavam abertura coronária prévia, obtidos no Banco de Dentes da Universidade Univille. Os dentes foram numerados, hidratados e conservados em água destilada. O desgaste compensatório foi executado ampliando a cavidade na direção MV, procurando a presença do canal mésio-palatino. Um microscópio clínico foi empregado para confirmar a presença de sulcos e a existência de orifícios nos locais correspondentes às entradas dos canais das raízes MV e para avaliar a presença de anastomoses entre os canais radiculares, através de uma modificação do método de Stropko1. Resultados: A incidência do quarto canal, com a observação microscópica (52,3%), foi maior do que a observada clinicamente (29,3%). Os resultados encontrados pela modificação do método de Stropko1 demonstraram que a maioria dos canais radiculares (67,6%) apresentou ligação entre si. Conclusão: A incidêncica do canal mésio-palatino (52,3%), observada na análise microscópica, foi alta, quando comparada com a análise clínica (29,2%). O método da secagem permitiu a confirmação da união dos canais em 67,6% dos dentes. A combinação das informações adquiridas pelo exame radiográfico das trajetórias das raízes MV e a avaliação microscópica pelo método da secagem permitiu ao profissional um melhor conhecimento dos dentes a serem tratados, tendo condições para alcançar melhores resultados.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the efficiency of different techniques for removal of filling material from root canals, using computed tomography (CT). Sixty mesial roots from extracted human mandibular molars were used. Root canals were filled and, after 6 months, the teeth were randomly assigned to 3 groups, according to the root-filling removal technique: Group A - hand instrumentation with K-type files; Group B - reciprocating instrumentation with engine-driven K-type files; and Group C rotary instrumentation with engine-driven ProTaper system. CT scans were used to assess the volume of filling material inside the root canals before and after the removal procedure. In both moments, the area of filling material was outlined by an experienced radiologist and the volume of filling material was automatically calculated by the CT software program. Based on the volume of initial and residual filling material of each specimen, the percentage of filling material removed from the root canals by the different techniques was calculated. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and chi-square test for linear trend (?=0.05). No statistically significant difference (p=0.36) was found among the groups regarding the percent means of removed filling material. The analysis of the association between the percentage of filling material removal (high or low) and the proposed techniques by chi-square test showed statistically significant difference (p=0.015), as most cases in group B (reciprocating technique) presented less than 50 percent of filling material removed (low percent removal). In conclusion, none of the techniques evaluated in this study was effective in providing complete removal of filling material from the root canals.


O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de diferentes técnicas na remoção de material obturador dos canais radiculares, através da tomografia computadorizada (TC). Sessenta raízes mesiais de molares inferiores humanos extraídos foram utilizadas. Os canais radiculares foram obturados e, após 6 meses, os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 3 grupos, de acordo com a técnica de desobturação: Grupo A - instrumentação manual com limas tipo K; Grupo B - instrumentação oscilatória com limas tipo K acopladas a contra-ângulo NSK acionado por motor elétrico; e Grupo C - instrumentação rotatória com limas ProTaper associadas a contra-ângulo NSK acionado por motor elétrico. As imagens de TC foram feitas para avaliar o volume de material obturador encontrado no interior dos canais radiculares antes e após a desobturação. A região do material obturador foi demarcada nos dois momentos por um radiologista experiente e o volume foi calculado automaticamente pelo programa do TC. A partir do volume de material obturador inicial e remanescente de cada espécime o cálculo da porcentagem de material obturador removido. Os dados foram analisados pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e pelo teste qui-quadrado (?=0,05). A comparação das médias das porcentagens de material obturador removido não demonstrou diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,36) entre os grupos. Analisando a associação do percentual de material obturador removido (baixo ou alto) com as diferentes técnicas de desobturação, através do teste Qui-quadrado, encontrou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,015), com maior número de casos com menos de 50 por cento de seu material obturador removido (baixa remoção) no Grupo B. Em conclusão, nenhuma das técnicas estudadas foi capaz de remover completamente o material obturador do interior dos canais radiculares.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho avaliou o perfil do cirurgião-dentista formado pela faculdade de odontologia da Universidade de Passo Fundo no período de 1965 a 1999. Foi utilizado questionário para a coleta de dados. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos profissionais atua no estado do Rio Grande do Sul e considera necessário o aperfeiçoamento profissional. Sentem-se satisfeito com a prática da odontologia, mas deixam transparecer a insatisfação com os aspectos financeiros da profissão. Constatou-se que os cirurgiões-dentistas necessitam ampliar sua visão de atenção à saúde, percebendo o paciente como um ser integral, inserido num contexto biológico, social, econômico e cutural
