ABSTRACT

Objective: Evaluate the protective effect of artificial saliva formulations associated or not with mucin on dentin. Materials and Methods: Bovine dentin specimens were randomly allocated to 10 groups (n = 20) according to the artificial saliva tested and the presence or absence of mucin: Amaechi et al. (1998); Klimek et al. (1982); Vieira et al. (2005) and Eisenburger et al. (2001) and deionized water (control). Samples were submitted to an erosive cycle consisting of two immersions of 120 min in the saliva, followed by 1 min in hydrochloric acid solution, and new storage in saliva for 120 min. Surface loss (µm) was measured before and after the cycle. Data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). Results: A significant difference was observed for the saliva formulation but not for the presence of mucin. The deionized water provided the highest surface loss and the Eisenburger's saliva formulation the lowest. The groups testing the Amaechi, Klimek, and Vieira saliva did not present significant differences. Conclusion: Eisenburger's saliva formulation provides a higher protective effect against dentin erosion. The presence of mucin did not increase the erosion-preventive effect of artificial saliva formulations. (AU)


Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito protetor de formulações de saliva artificial associadas ou não à mucina sobre a dentina submetida a erosão. Material e Métodos: Espécimes de dentina bovina foram alocados em 10 grupos (n = 20) de acordo com a saliva testada e a presença ou ausência de mucina: . Amaechi et al. (1998); Klimek et al. (1982); Vieira e cols. (2005), Eisenburger et al (2001) e agua deionizada (controle). As amostras foram submetidas a um ciclo erosivo composto por duas imersões de 120 min na saliva, seguidas de 1 min em solução de ácido clorídrico e novo armazenamento na saliva por 120 min. A perda de superfície (µm) foi medida antes e depois do ciclo. Os dados foram analisados usando ANOVA 2 fatores e teste de Tukey (p <0,05). Resultados: Foi observada diferença significativa para a formulação de saliva, mas não para a presença de mucina. A água deionizada proporcionou a maior perda de superfície e a formulação de saliva de Eisenburger a menor. Os grupos que testaram a saliva Amaechi, Klimek e Vieira não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre si. Conclusão: A formulação de saliva de Eisenburger fornece o maior efeito protetor contra a erosão dentinária e a presença de mucina não aumentou o efeito preventivo de erosão de formulações de saliva artificial (AU).

ABSTRACT

Objective: to investigate the antimicrobial effects of toothpastes containing bioactive surface pre-reacted glass particles (S-PRG) on S. mutans biofilms adherence, initial colonization and maturation. Material and Methods: a reference UA 159 and a clinical S. mutans (SM6) strain were used. Bovine enamel specimens were randomly allocated into the groups (n=5): toothpastes containing 0%; 1%; 5%; 20%; 30% S-PRG; positive control dentifrice (NaF+triclosan); and negative control (distilled water). For biofilm development, samples were placed in a 24-well plate containing artificial saliva (4h), followed by adding 1mL of artificial saliva, BHI broth and 225µL of S. mutans suspension. Treatments with toothpastes were applied previously or after 4h and 24h of biofilm formation. Samples were incubated for 48h at 37°C in 5%CO2 and biofilm was detached and seeded in Petri dishes for determining the number of viable cells. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test (5%). Results: significantly lower microorganisms' adherence (p<0.05) was obtained for all S-PRG toothpastes, with similar results to NaF+triclosan for SM6 and 20 and 30%S-PRG groups exhibiting higher inhibition effect than the NaF+Triclosan for UA159. Antibacterial effect on the early-stage biofilm was also observed for the S-PRG groups, but was not superior to the NaF+Triclosan toothpaste. For the mature biofilm, the effective antimicrobial potential of S-PRG toothpastes was observed only for the SM6 clinical strain, but was not higher than the positive control. Conclusion: experimental S-PRG toothpastes were effective to inhibit S. mutans biofilm growth by exhibiting antimicrobial activity, being promising agents to prevent cariogenic biofilm development (AU)


Objetivo: investigar o efeito de dentifrícios contendo S-PRG sobre a colonização inicial e maturação de biofilmes de S. mutans. Material e Métodos: uma cepa de referência (UA 159) e uma cepa clínica de S. mutans (SM6) foram utilizadas. Espécimes de esmalte bovino foram alocados nos grupos (n=5): dentifrícios contendo 0%; 1%; 5%; 20% e 30%S-PRG; controle positivo (NaF+triclosan); e controle negativo (água destilada). Os espécimes foram inseridos em uma placa de 24 poços contendo saliva artificial (4h), seguido por adição de 1mL de saliva artificial, BHI, 225µL de suspensão de S. mutans e foram tratados com suspensões de dentifrícios antes ou depois de 4 e 24h da formação do biofilme. Os espécimes foram incubados por 48h e o biofilme foi removido dos espécimes e semeado em placas de Petri para contagem de UFC/mL. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey (5%). Resultados: houve diminuição na adesão de microrganismos para os grupos tratados com S-PRG (p<0.05). Para SM6, os dentifrícios contendo S-PRG apresentaram resultados semelhantes ao NaF+triclosan e para a cepa UA159 o dentifrício com 30%S-PRG apresentou efeito superior. Efeito antimicrobiano no biofilme recém-formado (4h) foi observado para os grupos contendo S-PRG, mas não foi observado efeito superior ao NaF+Triclosan. Para o biofilme maduro, efeito antimicrobiano do S-PRG foi observado apenas para a cepa clínica, mas não superior ao efeito do NaF+Triclosan. Conclusão: dentifrícios contendo S-PRG foram eficazes na inibição do desenvolvimento de biofilmes de S. mutans, sendo promissores agentes para prevenir o desenvolvimento de biofilme cariogênico.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The present study compared the effect of whitening mouthrinses (WM) on the color change of stained resin composites (RC). Material and Methods: Cylindrical specimens (6mm-diameter and 1mm-thickness) were prepared with the following RC (n=60/group): Filtek Z350XT (Z350- methacrylate-based), Admira Fusion (AD- ormocer-based), TPH3 (TPH- methacrylate-based), and Beautifil II (BII- giomer/methacrylate-based). The initial color was assessed with reflectance spectrophotometer using CIE L*a*b* system. The specimens were immersed in staining broth during 14 days, submitted to color evaluation (ΔE1) and randomly allocated in 4 subgroups (n=15), according to WM adopted: Listerine Whitening (LW-2% hydrogen peroxide), Plax Whitening (PW-1.5% hydrogen peroxide), Bromelain/papain (BP-experimental solution), and Deionized water (DW-negative control). The whitening cycle consisted of RC immersion in WM for 1 min and in artificial saliva for 30 min, simulating 12 weeks, and final color assessment was performed (ΔE2). Color change data were analysed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests (α=5%). Results: After staining, TPH showed the lowest ΔE1 values and Z350 showed the highest color change (p=0.001). The whitening effect promoted by LW was significantly higher than color alteration obtained with PW (ΔE2), and BII showed the highest color change values (ΔE2) after whitening cycle. Conclusion: LW exhibited the greatest whitening potential on stained RC, mainly with the Giomer (Beautifill II) and the Ormocer-based (Admira Fusion) materials. Bromelain/papain solution showed no whitening effect on stained RC. (AU)


Objetivo: O presente estudo comparou o efeito de enxaguatórios clareadores (EC) na alteração de cor de resinas compostas (RC) previamente manchadas. Material e Métodos: Espécimes cilíndricos (6mm de diâmetro e 1mm de espessura) foram preparados com as seguintes RC (n=60/grupo): Filtek Z350XT (Z350- metacrilato), Admira Fusion (AD- ormocer), TPH3 (TPH- metacrilato), e Beautifil II (BII- giomer/metacrilato). A cor inicial foi mensurada com espectrofotômetro de reflectância utilizando o sistema CIE L*a*b*. Os espécimes foram imersos em um caldo de manchamento durante 14 dias, submetidos a avaliação de cor (ΔE1) e alocados aleatoriamente em 4 subgrupos (n=15), de acordo com EC adotado: Listerine Whitening (LW-peróxido de hidrogênio a 2%), Plax Whitening (PW- peróxido de hidrogênio a 1,5%), Bromelina/papaína (BP-solução experimental), e Água deionizada (AD- controle negativo). O ciclo clareador consistiu na imersão da RC no EC por 1 min e na saliva artificial por 30 min, simulando 12 semanas, e a cor final foi mensurada (ΔE2). Os dados de alteração de cor foram analisados pelos testes ANOVA e Tukey (α=5%). Resultados: Após o manchamento, TPH apresentou o menor valor de ΔE1 e Z350 apresentou a maior alteração de cor (p=0,001). O efeito clareador promovido pelo LW foi significativamente maior que o obtido com o PW (ΔE2) e BII teve a maior alteração de cor (ΔE2) após o ciclo clareador. Conclusão: LW exibiu maior potencial clareador nas RC manchadas. BII apresentou maior alteração de cor em resposta à ação clareadora de ambos enxaguatórios à base de peróxido de hidrogênio testados.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of different fluoride varnishes on white spot lesions (WSL) remineralization. Material and Methods: Polished bovine enamel specimens were obtained (n = 60) and had their initial surface Knoop microhardness (SMH) determined. WSL were created and the SMH was measured again. Then, specimens were allocated into six groups: C ­ Control (without varnish); BF ­ Bifluorid 12 (6% NaF + 6% CaF2); DP ­ Duraphat (5% NaF); PF ­ Profluorid (5% NaF); FP - Fluor Protector (0.2% NaF + 0.9% difluorsilane); CW - Clinpro White Varnish (5% NaF + 5% TCP). After varnishes application, specimens were immersed in artificial saliva for 24 h. Then, pH-cycling was performed for 8 days and SMH was measured. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. Results: Non-significant differences were observed among the groups at baseline (p = 0.187) and after WSL formation (p = 0.999). After treatments, significant differences were observed among the groups (p = 0.001). Mean % of alteration (SD) and results of Tukey test were: C- 92.40 (12.10)a; PF- 88.66 (10.66)a; FP- 85.90 (14.49)ab; BF- 67.85 (17.86)bc; CW- 66.60 (18.48)c; DP- 58.62 (8.69)c. Conclusion: Bifluorid 12, Clinpro White Varnish, and Duraphat showed higher efficacy than artificial saliva in promoting the remineralization of WSL, nevertheless, none of the treatments were able to recover sound enamel baseline microhardness (AU)


Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia de diferentes vernizes fluoretados na remineralização de lesões de mancha branca (LMB). Material e métodos: Espécimes de esmalte bovino polido (n = 60) foram submetidos à análise de microdureza superficial Knoop (KMH) inicial. Foram então criadas LMB artificialmente e os espécimes foram alocados em seis grupos: C ­ Controle (sem aplicação de verniz); BF ­ Bifluorid 12 (6% NaF + 6% CaF2); DP ­ Duraphat (5% NaF); PF ­ Profluorid (5% NaF); FP - Fluor Protector (0.2% NaF + 0.9% difluorsilano); CW - Clinpro White Varnish (5% NaF + 5% TCP). Após a aplicação dos vernizes, os espécimes ficaram imersos em saliva artificial por 24h e uma ciclagem de pH foi realizada por 8 dias. Após a ciclagem, KMH final foi realizada. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey (5%). Resultados: Não foi observada diferença significante para os grupos após a KHM inicial (p = 0.187) e após a formação de LMB (p = 0.999). Após os tratamentos, diferenças significativas foram observadas entre os grupos (p = 0.001). Valores de média de % de alteração superficial (desvio-padrão) e resultados do teste de Tukey foram: C- 92.40 (12.10)a; PF- 88.66 (10.66)a; FP- 85.90 (14.49)ab; BF- 67.85 (17.86)bc; CW- 66.60 (18.48)c; DP- 58.62 (8.69)c. Conclusão: Os vernizes Bifluorid 12, Clinpro White Varnish e Duraphat apresentaram maior eficácia na remineralização das LMB quando comparados à saliva artificial, entretanto, nenhum dos produtos testados foi capaz de recuperar os valores iniciais de microdureza.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of a toothpaste containing calcium silicate/sodium phosphate/fluoride associated or not to the boost serum (BS) against erosive tooth wear (ETW) on enamel and dentin. Methodology Bovine enamel and dentin specimens were subjected to an erosion-abrasion cycling model (1% citric acid - pH 3.6 -2 min / artificial saliva - 60 min, 4×/day, 5 days). Toothbrushing was performed for 15 s (2 min exposed to slurry), 2×/day, with the toothpastes (n=10): control without fluoride (Weleda), Arg/Ca/MFP (Colgate Pro-Relief), Si/PO4/MFP (Regenerate-Unilever), and Si/PO4/MFP/BS (Si/PO4/MFP with dual BS - Advanced Enamel Serum-Unilever). The effect of treatments on the eroded tissues was assessed by surface microhardness in the first day, and surface loss (SL) resulting from ETW was evaluated by profilometry (μm) after three and five days. Additional dentin specimens (n=5/group) were subjected to 20,000 brushing cycles to verify the abrasivity of the toothpastes. Data were subjected to ANOVA and correlation tests (5%). Results For enamel, no difference in microhardness was observed among the treated groups, and similar SL was obtained after 5 days. For dentin, Si/PO4/MFP/BS resulted in higher microhardness values, but none of the groups presented significantly lower SL than the control. There was no significant correlation between SL and abrasiveness. Conclusion The calcium silicate/sodium phosphate toothpaste and serum increased microhardness of eroded dentin, but they did not significantly reduce enamel and dentin loss compared to the non-fluoride control toothpaste. The abrasiveness of the toothpastes could not predict their effect on ETW.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ultraviolet artificial aging on color, fluorescence, gloss, and translucency of different composite resins. Seventy-five cylindrical-shaped specimens (6 mm in diameter and 1 mm thick) of four different composites: Admira Fusion (VOCO), TPH3 (DENTSPLY), GrandioSO (VOCO) and Filtek™ Z350 XT (3M/ESPE), were built. Enamel samples obtained from bovine incisors were prepared with the same dimensions and used as a control group. Assessments of color, translucency, fluorescence, and gloss were performed at baseline and after artificial aging. Specimens were immersed in artificial saliva and submitted to artificial aging (UV light for 300h). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test (=0.05). After aging, all resin composites presented significant alterations, mainly Filtek™ Z350 XT. Fluorescence decreased in all resin composites and enamel. Gloss was reduced in all groups, too, with major rates for TPH3 and GrandioSO, which was similar to the enamel reduction. Translucency did not present a significant difference for the resin composites, although there was a reduction in the enamel. After artificial aging resin composites became darker, less fluorescent, less glossy, and with no alteration in translucency.


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do envelhecimento artificial ultravioleta na cor, fluorescência, brilho e translucidez de diferentes resinas compostas. Foram confeccionados setenta e cinco espécimes de forma cilíndrica (6 mm de diâmetro e 1 mm de espessura) de quatro compósitos diferentes: Admira Fusion (VOCO), TPH3 (DENTSPLY), GrandioSO (VOCO) e Filtek ™ Z350 XT (3M / ESPE). As amostras de esmalte obtidas a partir de incisivos bovinos foram preparadas com as mesmas dimensões e utilizadas como grupo controle. As avaliações de cor, translucidez, fluorescência e brilho foram realizadas na primeira leitura e após o envelhecimento artificial. Os espécimes foram imersos em saliva artificial e submetidos ao envelhecimento artificial (luz UV por 300h). Os dados foram analisados usando ANOVA e teste post hoc de Tukey ( = 0,05). Após o envelhecimento, todos os espécimes apresentaram alterações significativas, principalmente para a resina Filtek ™ Z350 XT. A fluorescência diminuiu em todos os materiais e no esmalte. O brilho foi reduzido em todos os grupos, também, com taxas maiores para TPH3 e GrandioSO, que foi semelhante à redução do esmalte. A translucidez não apresentou diferença significativa em todos os materiais testados, embora tenha havido uma redução no esmalte. Após o envelhecimento artificial, os compósitos de resina ficaram mais escuros, menos fluorescentes, menos brilhosos e sem alteração na translucidez.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion, color stability, chemical composition, and bond strength of a light-cured resin cement contaminated with three different hemostatic solutions. Specimens were prepared for the control (uncontaminated resin cement) and experimental groups (resin cement contaminated with one of the hemostatic solutions) according to the tests. For degree of conversion, DC (n = 5) and color analyses (n = 10), specimens (3 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick) were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and CIELAB spectrophotometry (L*, a*, b*), respectively. For elemental chemical analysis (n = 1), specimens (2 mm thick and 6 mm in diameter) were evaluated by x-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The bond strengths of the groups were assessed by the microshear test (n = 20) in a leucite-reinforced glass ceramic substrate, followed by failure mode analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mean values, except for the elemental chemical evaluation and failure mode, were evaluated by ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test. The color stability was influenced by storage time (p<0.001) and interaction between contamination and storage time (p<0.001). Hemostop and Viscostat Clear contamination did not affect the DC, however Viscostat increased the DC. Bond strength of the resin cement to ceramic was negatively affected by the contaminants (p<0.001). Contamination by hemostatic agents affected the bond strength, degree of conversion, and color stability of the light-cured resin cement tested.


Resumo O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o grau de conversão, estabilidade de cor, composição química e resistência de união de um cimento resinoso fotoativado contaminado com três soluções hemostáticas diferentes. Foram preparadas amostras para o grupo controle (cimento não contaminado) e grupos experimentais (cimento contaminado com uma das soluções hemostáticas) de acordo com os testes. Para o grau de conversão e análise de cor (n=10), as amostras (3 mm de diâmetro e 2 mm de espessura) foram avaliadas por espectroscopia de infravermelho com transformação de Fourier (FTIR) e espectrofotometria CIELAB (L*, A*, B*), respectivamente. Para a análise química elementar (n=1), os espécimes (2 mm de espessura e 6 mm de diâmetro) foram avaliados por espectroscopia de energia dispersiva de raios-x (EDS). As resistências de união dos grupos foram avaliadas pelo ensaio de microcisalhamento (n=20) em um substrato cerâmico de vidro reforçado com leucita, seguida da análise de modo de falha por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Os valores médios, com exceção da avaliação química e do modo de falha, foram avaliados por ANOVA e pelo teste de Tukey. A estabilidade de cor foi influenciada pelo tempo de armazenagem (p<0,001) e interação entre a contaminação e o tempo (p<0,001). A contaminação pelo Hemostop e Viscostat Clear não influenciaram no GC, porém a contaminação com Viscostat aumentou o GC. A resistência de união do cimento a cerâmica foi negativamente afetada pelos contaminantes (p<0,001). A contaminação por agentes hemostáticos afetou a resistência de união, o grau de conversão e a estabilidade de cor do cimento resinoso fotoativado testado.

ABSTRACT

Removable Partial Dentures (RPD) with dual path of insertion are designed to overcome conventional RPD esthetic limitations, through the use of proximal undercuts for rigid direct retainers. Therefore, dual path RPD is considered a variation of conventional RPD. This paper reports a clinical case where proper function as well as excellent esthetics were obtained with this type of RPD. (AU)


Próteses parciais removíveis (PPR) com dupla trajetória de inserção são próteses projetadas para superar limitações estéticas das próteses convencionais, utilizando-se retentores diretos rígidos nas áreas retentivas proximais dos dentes suportes. Desta forma, a PPR com dupla trajetória da inserção é considerada uma variação da PPR tradicional. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar um caso clínico onde se obteve uma resolução funcional e altamente estética através deste tipo de PPR..(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydrogen peroxide whitening on fluorescence and color of bovine enamel and dentin. Twenty five dentin discs and 25 enamel discs, with 6 mm diameter and 1 mm thick, were obtained. Direct fluorescence (spectrofluorophotometry) and color (spectrophotometry) were assessed. After fluorescence and color baseline measurements, specimens were immersed in a 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) solution for 1 h. This procedure was repeated after 7 days. Final fluorescence and color measurements were performed after the second immersion. Chemical characterization of 5 additional specimens was also performed. Data were submitted to repeated analysis of variance and Tukey´s test for fluorescence and unpaired t-test for color and chemical components (p<0.05). Fluorescence decreased significantly in dentin specimens after whitening. Enamel presented lower fluorescence than dentin at baseline, but this parameter did not decrease after whitening. Color changes were observed for both substrates, with significantly greater whitening effect in dentin (ΔE=10.37) (p<0.001). Whitening by hydrogen peroxide induced significant decrease in fluorescence of tooth dentin and promoted significant color changes in dentin and enamel with more accentuated outcomes in dentin.


Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do clareamento com peróxido de hidrogênio na fluorescência e cor do esmalte e da dentina bovina. Vinte e cinco discos de dentina e 25 discos de esmalte, com 6 mm de diâmetro e 1 mm de espessura, foram obtidos. A fluorescência direta (Espectrofluorometria) e cor (espectrofotometria) foram avaliados. Depois da leitura inicial de cor e fluorescência, os espécimes foram imersos em solução de peróxido de hidrogénio a 35% (HP) durante 1 h. Este procedimento foi repetido após 7 dias. E as medições de fluorescência e de cor finais foram realizados após a segunda imersão. A caracterização química de 5 espécimes adicionais também foi realizada. Os dados foram submetidos à ANOVA de medidas repetidas e teste de Tukey para a fluorescência Teste e teste t não pareado para a cor e os componentes químicos (p<0,05). A fluorescência diminuiu significativamente nos espécimes de dentina após o clareamento. O esmalte apresentou fluorescência mais baixa do que a dentina na leitura inicial, mas esse parâmetro não diminuiu após o clareamento. Foram observadas alterações de cor para ambos os substratos, com significativamente maior efeito de clareamento em dentina (AE=10,37) (p<0,001). O clareamento com peróxido de hidrogênio provocou diminuição significativa na fluorescência da dentina e promoveu alterações de cor significativas na dentina e esmalte com resultados mais pronunciados em dentina.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of Nd:YAG laser application in root canals on bond strengths of fiber posts.Material and Methods: Thirty single-rooted bovines were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10); root canal instrumentation was performed, and pretreatment was conducted as follows: C group: conventional treatment (without laser irradiation); ALC group: Nd:YAG laser was applied after adhesive; and LAC group: Nd:YAG laser was applied before adhesive. The fiber posts Rebilda 15 DC (Voco) were cemented with an adhesive system and resin cement,in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Six slices with 1.0mm height was obtained for ofeach root and bond strength was measured by pushout test using a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min). Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s tests (p < 0.05). Results: Push-out bond strengths to root canal dentin were affected by the type of treatment and root third. The use of Nd: YAGlaser after the application of adhesive system had ahigher bonding performance compared with the useof laser before the application. However, both of them were similar to the control group. Also, cervical and medium third presented higher bond strength values than the apical third. Conclusion: It must be conclude, in the conditions in which the studywas conduct, that the use of laser irradiation didnot improve the bonding performance of resinous cement inside the root canal...


Objective: O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o efeito da aplicação intrarradicular do laser Nd:YAG na adesão de pinos de fibra de vidro. Material e Métodos: Trinta raízes unirradiculares de incisivos bovinos foram selecionadas, e após instrumentação, foram divididas aleatoriamente em três grupos (n= 10) de acordo com o tratamento das paredes do canal: C: tratamento convencional (sem radiação laser), ALC: aplicação do Laser Nd:YAG após o adesivo; e LAC: aplicação do laser antes do adesivo. Pinos de fibra de vidro Rebilda 15 DC (Voco) foram cimentados com adesivo e cimento resinoso de acordo com instruções do fabricante. Seis fatias (duas para cada terço radicular) com 1 mm de espessura foram obtidas de cada raiz para mensuração da resistência adesiva por meio de teste push-out realizado em máquina de ensaio universal (0,5 mm/min). Os dados foram analisados por meio dos testes Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn (p < 0,05). Resultados: A resistência adesiva dos pinos na dentina radicular foi influenciada pelo tipo de tratamento e terço radicular. O uso do laser de Nd:YAG após a aplicação do adesivo apresentou melhor performance comparada ao seu uso antes do adesivo, porém, ambos foram similares ao controle. Ainda, os terços cervical e médio apresentaram maior resistência comparado ao apical. Conclusão: Conclui-se que, ouso da irradiação laser nos parâmetros estudados, não melhora a performance adesiva de cimentos resinosos dentro do canal radicular...

ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to assess the influence of curing distance on the loss of irradiance and power density of four curing light devices. The behavior in terms of power density of four different dental curing devices was analyzed (Valo, Elipar 2, Radii-Cal, and Optilux-401) using three different distances of photopolymerization (0 mm, 4 mm, and 8 mm). All devices had their power density measured using a MARC simulator. Ten measurements were made per device at each distance. The total amount of energy delivered and the required curing time to achieve 16 J/cm2 of energy was also calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s tests (p < 0.05). The curing distance significantly interfered with the loss of power density for all curing light devices, with the farthest distance generating the lowest power density and consequently the longer time to achieve an energy density of 16 J/cm2 (p < 0.01). Comparison of devices showed that Valo, in extra power mode, showed the best results at all distances, followed by Valo in high power mode, Valo in standard mode, Elipar 2, Radii-Cal, and Optilux-401 halogen lamp (p < 0.01). These findings indicate that all curing lights induced a significant loss of irradiance and total energy when the light was emitted farther from the probe. The Valo device in extra power mode showed the highest power density and the shortest time to achieve an energy density of 16 J/cm2 at all curing distances.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of glass fiber reinforcement and resin viscosity on the resistance to fracture of adhesive fixed partial prosthesis (AFPP). Materials & Methods: A stainless steel molding was constructed simulating oclusal preparation for AFPP on a maxillary first pre-molar (4 x 4 x 2 mm) and molar (6 x 4 x 2 mm), with a proximal slot (2 x 1 x 4 mm) and with 7 mm of distance between them. These moldings were duplicated in polyurethane (n = 60) and divided into two groups according to the resin viscosity: G - Grandio SO (VOCO) (n = 30) and GHF – Grandio SO Heavy flow (VOCO) (n= 30). These groups were subdivided into three subgroups according to the glass fiber reinforcement used (n = 10): Subgroup N – without glass fiber reinforcement; Subgroup V – GRANDTEC (VOCO); subgroup S – everStick C & B (Stick Tech). Four increments divided into 2 layers, 2 in the lower part and 2 in the upper part of the preparations were light-cured according to the manufacturers’ instructions. A vertical load was applied on the center of the pieces at a speed of 1mm/min. Data were obtained in Kgf and submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 0.05). Results: ANOVA showed significant differences for glass fiber reinforcement. Subgroup N (24.45 ± 3.60)a was significantly different from subgroup S (32.54 ± 6.94) b and subgroup V (37.18 ± 5.33) c. Conclusion: The glass fibers tested were capable of improving the resistance to fracture of AFPP. GRANDTEC fiber exhibited the greatest values of resistance to fracture and for the resins studied the viscosity did not influence on the resistance to fracture of AFPP.


Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do reforço com fibra de vidro e viscosidade da resina na resistência à fratura de prótese parcial fixa adesiva (PPFA). Material e Método: Um molde de aço inoxidável foi confeccionado simulando preparos oclusais para PPFA em primeiro pré-molar superior (4 x 4 x 2 mm) e molar (6 x 4 x 2 mm), com uma caixa proximal (2 x 1 x 4 mm) e 7 mm de distância entre eles. Esses moldes foram duplicados em poliuretano (n = 60) e divididos em dois grupos de acordo com a viscosidade da resina: G – Grandio SO (VOCO) (n = 30) e GHF - Grandio SO Heavy flow (VOCO) (n = 30). Estes grupos foram subdivididos em três subgrupos de acordo com o reforço de fibra de vidro utilizado (n = 10): Subgrupo N - sem reforço de fibra de vidro; Subgrupo V - GRANDTEC (VOCO); subgrupo S – everStick C & B (Stick Tech). Quatro incrementos divididos em 2 camadas, 2 na parte inferior e 2 na parte superior dos preparos foram fotopolimerizados de acordo com as instruções dos fabricantes. Uma força vertical foi aplicada no centro das peças a uma velocidade de 1 mm/min. Os dados foram obtidos em Kgf e submetidos a ANOVA a 2 fatores e teste de Tukey (α = 0,05). Resultado: A ANOVA mostrou diferenças significativas para reforço de fibra de vidro. Subgrupo N (24,45 ± 3,60) a foi significativamente diferente do subgrupo S (32,54 ± 6,94)b e subgrupo V (37,18 ± 5,33)c. As fibras de vidro testadas foram capazes de melhorar a resistência à fratura de PPFA. Conclusão: A Fibra GRANDTEC apresentou os maiores valores de resistência à fratura e, para as resinas estudadas, a viscosidade não teve influência na resistência à fratura de PPFA.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To report two cases of low level laser therapy used in the treatment of muscle pain caused by temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Methods: Two patients were selected and subjected to eight applications of low level laser therapy (diode - wavelength of 795 nm, energy density of 8 J/cm2, power of 120 mW, 66 se per point). Laser was punctually applie on masseter and temporalis muscles bilaterally. Three methods were used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment: pressure algometer, visual analog scale (VAS) and maximal mouth opening. Each measurement was performed before and after the laser therapy session. The results were subjected to statistical analysis (ANOVA two factors and Tukey’s test, α = 0.05). Results: For both patients, no significant difference was found between the results obtained with the algometer, before and after laser application, within each session. VAS results showed a tendency to lower values after laser application. In both cases, the highest values obtained by the pressure algometer were found between the days 9 (fourth application) and 16 (sixth application). Both patients had an improvement on mouth opening. Conclusions: The assessment methods used were quite practical to register the pain before and after treatment. Therapy with low level laser seems to have a beneficial effect for the masticatory muscles pain.

ABSTRACT

There are several methods for identifying carious dentinal tissue aiming to avoid removal of healthy dentinal tissue. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to test different methods for the detection of carious dentinal tissue regarding the amount of carious tissue removed and the remaining dentin microhardness after caries removal. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The dentin surfaces of 20 bovine teeth were exposed and half of the surface was protected with nail polish. Cariogenic challenge was performed by immersion in a demineralizing solution for 14 days. After transverse cross-section of the crown, the specimens were divided into four groups (n=10), according to the method used to identify and remove the carious tissue: "Papacárie", Caries-detector dye, DIAGNOdent and Tactile method. After caries removal, the cross-sectional surface was included in acrylic resin and polished. In a microhardness tester, the removed dentin thickness and the Vickers microhardness of the following regions were evaluated: remaining dentin after caries removal and superficial and deep healthy dentin. RESULTS: ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05) were performed, except for DIAGNOdent, which did not detect the presence of caries. Results for removed dentin thickness were: "Papacárie" (424.7±105.0; a), Caries-detector dye (370.5±78.3; ab), Tactile method (322.8±51.5; bc). Results for the remaining dentin microhardness were: "Papacárie" (42.2±10.5; bc), Caries-detector dye (44.6±11.8; abc), Tactile method (24.3±9.0; d). CONCLUSIONS: DIAGNOdent did not detect the presence of carious tissue; Tactile method and "Papacárie" resulted in the least and the most dentinal thickness removal, respectively; Tactile method differed significantly from "Papacárie" and Caries-detector dye in terms of the remaining dentin microhardness, and Tactile method was the one which presented the lowest microhardness values.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect on bond strength of composite repairs using flowable resin as an intermediate agent . Methods: Thirty truncated cones were fabricated with Grandio SO (VOCO) and were thermo-cycled for 5000 cycles for artificial aging. Specimen’s surface was sandblasted with aluminum oxide, cleaned with air/water spray and conditioned with phosphoric acid for 15 s. One coat of Admira Bond Adhesive (VOCO) was applied and light cured for 20 s. Specimens were divided into 3 groups according to the repairing material used (n = 10): Conventional Resin – Grandio SO (R), A thin layer of Flowable resin – Grandio SO Heavy Flow + conventional Resin (FR), and Flowable resin (F). Over the original specimens, a sectional cone-shaped teflon matrix was hold in position and the cones were built according the groups described above. Other thirty specimens were built, 10 of each group, simulating a restoration without repair. Specimens were submitted to tensile stress in a universal testing machine. Data were recorded in MPa and evaluated with ANOVA, Tukey´ s and non-paired “t’’ tests. Results: ANOVA showed significant differences among groups in which repair was performed (p < 0.00). The results of Tukey´ s test for those groups were: R (19.89 + 5.31)ab; F+R (14.49 + 5.59)a; F (20.91 + 3.99)b. The groups followed by the same letter did not show statistical differences. Non-paired “t” test showed that groups R and F repairs were similar to the correspondent groups simulating restoration without repair. Conclusions: The repair with conventional or flowable composite produced bond strength values similar to cohesive strength of the same materials. The use of a thin layer of flowable resin as an intermediate agent in composite repair decreased the bond strength when compared the same method for restoration.


Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar o efeito sobre a resistência de união de reparos de compósitos com resina fluida como um agente intermediário. Métodos: Trinta cones truncados foram fabricados com Grandio SO (VOCO) e foram termociclados por 5.000 ciclos de envelhecimento artificial. A superfície da amostra foi jateada com óxido de alumínio, limpa com spray ar / água e condicionada com ácido fosfórico por 15 s. Uma camada de adesivo (Admira - VOCO) foi aplicada e fotopolimerizada por 20 s. As amostras foram divididas em três grupos de acordo com o material de reparo utilizado (n=10): resina convencional - Grandio SO (R), uma fina camada de resina flowable - Grandio SO Heavy Flow + Resina convencional (FR), e resina flowable (F). Sobre espécimes originais, foi adaptada uma matriz, e os cones foram construídos de acordo com os grupos descritos acima. Trinta amostras foram construídos, 10 de cada grupo, simulando uma restauração sem reparos. As amostras foram submetidas ao Teste de tração em uma máquina universal de ensaios. Os dados foram registrados em MPa e avaliados com ANOVA, Tukey e teste “t’’ não pareado. Resultados: ANOVA mostrou diferenças significativas entre os grupos em que o reparo foi realizado (p < 0,00). Os resultados do teste de Tukey para os grupos foram: R (19,89 + 5,31) ab; F + R (14,49 + 5,59) a; F (20,91 + 3,99) b. Os grupos seguidos pela mesma letra não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas. O Teste “t” não pareado de Student mostrou que as reparações dos grupos R e F foram semelhantes aos dos grupos correspondentes que simulam restauração sem reparos. Conclusões: O reparo com resina flowable ou convencional produziu níveis de resistência próximos a força coesiva dos mesmos materiais. A utilização de uma camada fina de resina fluida como um agente intermediário no reparo dos compósitos diminuiu a resistência de união, quando comparado o mesmo método para a restauração.

ABSTRACT

Different techniques are employed to control de caries progression, such as fluoride remineralization and resin infiltration (ICON®). However, the interference of these techniques on further adhesive procedures on the treated tissue is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength (BS) of the bovine enamel demineralized and treated with either fluoride or ICON®. Material and Methods: The tooth fragments were randomly divided into 4 groups: Group Sound samples (control); Group Demineralized samples (DS); Group Remineralized samples (NaF- 0.05% /8 weeks); Group ICON® samples. The samples were etched and next, a total etch bonding system was applied followed by resin composite. Then, they were submitted to microtensile test in a universal testing machine (10 Kg 1 mm/min). Results: Data were evaluated by ANOVA. There were statistically significant differences among groups (p = 0.28), with the following mean values (MPa): Group: Sound samples ((20,20 ± 2,97), Group: Demineralized Samples (21.99 ± 4.25), Group: Remineralized Samples (23.48 ± 4.03), Group: ICON® samples (22.10 ± 3,37). Conclusion: The treatments did not interfere in bond strength of the composite resin to enamel, providing values similar to those of the control group


Diferentes técnicas são empregadas como forma de controle da progressão da lesão cariosa, como a remineralização com flúor e a infiltração com resina (ICON®). No entanto, a interferência destas técnicas sobre futuros procedimentos adesivos no tecido tratado ainda mostra-se controversa. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a resistência adesiva (RA) em esmalte bovino desmineralizado e tratado com flúor ou com ICON®. Materiais e Métodos: Fragmentos dentais foram divididos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos: Grupo Espécimes íntegros (controle); Grupo Espécimes desmineralizados (ED); Grupo Espécimes Remineralizados (NaF- 0,05% /8 semanas); Grupo Espécimes ICON®. Sobre os espécimes tratados foi feito condicionamento ácido, aplicação de adesivo total etch e resina composta, sendo submetidos ao teste de microtração em máquina de ensaio universal (10Kg 1mm/min). Resultados: Os dados foram avaliados pelo teste ANOVA. Não houve diferença significante entre os grupos (p=0,28) sendo que, os valores médios em MPa obtidos para os diferentes grupos foram: Grupo: Espécimes Íntegros (20,20 ± 2,97), Grupo: Espécimes Desmineralizados (21,99 ± 4,25), Grupo: Espécimes Remineralizados (23,48 ± 4,03), Grupo: Espécimes ICON® (22,10 ±3,37). Conclusão: os tratamentos não interferiram na RA da resina composta ao esmalte, fornecendo valores semelhantes ao controle.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the effect of photochemical activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) bleaching gel with different wavelengths. Methods: In the study, 80 bovine incisors were used, which were stained in 25% soluble coffee and divided in 4 groups. The initial color was measured with the Easy Shade spectrophotometer by CIE Lab. An experimental 35% H2O2 bleaching gel was used,either with or without the presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment, associated with two light sources: G1 - Transparent Gel (TG) and no activation; G2 - Gel with TiO2 and activation with blue LED (l=470nm)laser (Easy Bleach) appliance; G3 - Gel with TiO2 and activation with ultraviolet(l=345nm - UV); G4 - TG and activation with UV. Three applications of the gels were made for 10min, and in each, 3 activations of 3 min, with interval of 30 s between them. The coloration was evaluated again and the variation in color perception (DE) was calculated. The data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test at 5% significance level. Results: There were significant differences between G1 and G4. The greatest “E value was observed in G4 (13.37).There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the groups 2, 3 and 4.Conclusions: The presence of TiO2 particules in the bleaching gel did not interfere at the bleaching results.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate whether using different types of light activation during the in-office bleaching agent technique increases the effectiveness of the dental bleaching procedure by measuring the color change in teeth. Methods: From 60 extracted bovine incisor teeth, specimen sizes were standardized and dentin was conditioned by immersion in 38% phosphoric acid for 15 s. Following this procedure, the samples were placed in a water bath with ultrasound for 20 min and then immersed in a 25% coffee solution for a two-week period. The dentin was polished with a felt disc and aluminum oxide paste and finally sealed with colorless nail polish. Specimens were randomly divided into five groups, and their original color was measured using the EasyShade (VITA) spectrophotometer. All specimens received three applications of the bleaching agent Opalescence Xtra-Boost (Ultradent) during a period of 15 min each. Group 1 did not receive light activation, Group 2 was activated with a Halogen light (15 min), Group 3 was activated with a blue hybrid LEDs and a laser (15 min), Group 4 was activated with light from a green LED and a laser (15 min) and Group 5 was activated with a red laser (15 min). Tooth color was measured again after performing the various bleaching techniques on all specimens. The resulting data on color variations ΔE, Δa*, Δb* and ΔL*, and the color variations referenced on the Vita Classical scale were subjected to ANOVA, Tukey and Dunn tests (α=5%). Results: The bleaching performance of 38% hydrogen peroxide was affected by the light source used; color reduction was observed for the blue LED and halogen lights, and quantitative assessments of tooth color measured by spectrophotometer and matched to the Vita Classical color scale arrived at similar results in all experimental groups. Conclusions: The type of hybrid lights used interferes in the efficiency of the bleaching agent.


Objetivo: Avaliar se fontes de luz aumentam a eficácia do peróxido de hidrogênio na técnica de clareamento profissional. Metodologia: Foram empregados 60 dentes incisivos bovinos, com dimensões coronárias e radiculares padronizadas a partir do limite amelo-cementário, sendo descartada a porção lingual. Os corpos-de-prova (cp) foram limpos em ultra-som por 20 min e a dentina condicionada com H3PO4 a 38% por 15 s, sendo os (cp) imersos em solução de café solúvel a 25% por duas semanas. A dentina foi impermeabilizada com esmalte e os (cp) divididos em 5 grupos, sendo a cor inicial mensurada através do espectofotômetro-EasyShade (VITA). Todos os (cp) receberam três aplicações por 10 min do gel clareador Opalescence Xtra-Boost (Ultradent) conforme segue: Grupo 1 - controle, não recebeu fotoativação, Grupo 2 - ativado com luz halôgena, Grupo 3 - ativado com LED azul/LASER, Grupo 4 - ativado com LED verde/LASER e Grupo 5 - ativado com LED vermelho. Após o clareamento foi mensurada a variação de cor ΔE, Δa*, Δb*e ΔL* e as referentes à escala de cor Vita Clássico. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância, teste de Tukey e de Dunn (α=5%). Resultados: A diferença geral da cor foi reduzida quando se empregou LED Azul e Luz Halógena, sendo que o desempenho do peróxido de hidrogênio a 38 % foi intensificado dependendo da fonte de luz utilizada. A avaliação quantitativa de cor, obtida por espectrofotômetro e pela escala de cor Vita Clássico, foram coincidentes. Conclusão: O tipo de fonte de luz empregada interfere na eficácia do agente clareador.
