ABSTRACT

It has been suggested that the epoxy paint used to coat metal substrates in industrial electrostatic painting applications could also be used to mask metal clasps in removable dental prostheses (RDP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the influence of thermal cycling and the in vitro roughness of a surface after application of epoxy paint, as well as to assess the micromorphology of a cobalt-chromium (CoCr) based metal structure. Sixty test specimens were fabricated from a CoCr alloy. The specimens were separated into three groups (n = 20) according to surface treatment: Group 1 (Pol) - polished with abrasive stone and rubbers; Group 2 (Pol+Epo) - polished and coated with epoxy paint; Group 3 (Epo) - air-abraded with aluminum oxide particles and coated with epoxy paint. The surface roughness was evaluated before and after 1000 thermal cycles (5°C and 50°C). The surface micromorphology was verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences among surface treatments (p < 0.0001), but no difference was found before and after thermal cycling (p = 0.6638). The CoCr-based metal alloy surfaces treated with epoxy paint (Groups 2 and 3) were rougher than the surfaces that were only polished (Group 1). Thermal cycling did not influence surface roughness, or lead to chipping or detachment of the epoxy paint.

ABSTRACT

Uma das limitações das próteses parciais removíveis (PPR) na reabilitação de espaços protéticos anteriores é a estética obtida, tendo em vista a necessidade de planejamento de grampos de retenção nas superfícies vestibulares dos dentes pilares. Como alternativa de tratamento, pode-se utilizar próteses que apresentam duplo eixo de inserção e remoção que, quando comparadas com as PPRs convencionais, apresentam como principal vantagem o uso minimizado de grampos, sem prejuízo dos princípios de retenção, estabilidade e suporte. Este relato de caso descreve uma paciente com arco superior classe IV de Kennedy reabilitado através de uma PPR, com duplo eixo de inserção e remoção. Conectores menores rígidos foram planejados nas superfícies mesiais dos pilares anteriores em um eixo retilíneo, enquanto que grampos circunferenciais foram posicionados nos pilares posteriores, inseridos por meio de um movimento de rotação. Conclui-se que o conceito de PPR com duplo eixo permite excelente estética, mínimo preparo dos dentes pilares e reduz o acúmulo de placa bacteriana, por ter menor cobertura de grampos, no entanto apresenta indicação precisa, não devendo ser utilizada nos casos de extremidade livre.


One of the limitations of conventional RPD in the replacement of missing anterior teeth is the esthetic obtained, because placing retaining elements on the abutment teeth results in a undesirable display of the metallic structure. As an alternative treatment, dual path of insertion RPD should be used. When compared with conventional RPD, its design presents minimized use of clasps without compromising the retention, stability and support principles of RPDs. This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient Kennedy class IV using a dual path of insertion RPD. Minor connectors were planned on anterior abutments in intimate contact with the proximal undercuts, and then circumferential clasps were planned on the posterior abutments, fully seated in a rotational movement. Dual path RPD concept allows excellent functional and esthetic results, minimize tooth preparation and reduces the tendency toward plaque accumulation, however, it presents precise indication and should not be used in distal extension cases.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the retention force of T-bar clasps made from commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy by the insertion/removal test simulating 5 years use. Thirty-six frameworks were cast from CP Ti (n=18) and Co-Cr alloy (n=18) with identical prefabricated patterns on refractory casts from a distal extension mandibular hemi-arch segment. The castings were made on a vacuum-pressure machine, under vacuum and argon atmosphere. Each group was subdivided in three, corresponding to 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm and 0.75 mm undercuts, respectively. No polishing procedures were performed to ensure uniformity. The specimens were subjected to an insertion/removal test and data was analyzed statistically to compare CP Ti and Co-Cr alloy in the same undercut (Student's t-test for independent samples) and each material in different undercuts (one-way ANOVA) (p=0.05). Comparisons between materials revealed significant differences (p=0.017) only for the 0.50-mm undercut. No significant differences (p>0.05) were found when comparing the same material for the undercuts. It may be concluded that for different undercuts, both Co-Cr alloy and CP Ti had no significant differences for T-bar clasps; CP Ti showed the lowest retention force values when compared to Co-Cr alloy in each undercut, but with significant difference only for the 0.50-mm undercut; and both materials maintained the retentive capacity during the simulation test.


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a força de retenção de grampos tipo barra T confeccionados em titânio cp e liga de Co-Cr, através do ensaio de simulação de uso de estruturas metálicas por um período de 5 anos. Sobre modelos de revestimento que simulavam uma extremidade livre unilateral, foram fundidas 36 estruturas em titânio cp (n=18) e em Co-Cr (n=18) utilizando padrões pré-fabricados. As fundições foram feitas em máquina de vácuo-pressão sob vácuo e atmosfera inerte de argônio. Cada grupo foi subdividido em três correspondendo às retenções de 0,25 mm, 0,50 mm e 0,75 mm, respectivamente. Para manter a uniformidade dos grampos, não foram realizados procedimentos de polimento. Os corpos-de-prova foram submetidos ao teste de inserção e remoção e os dados foram analisados estatisticamente (p=0,05) para comparar Ti cp e Co-Cr na mesma retenção (teste T de Student para amostras independentes) e cada material nas diferentes retenções (análise de variância a um fator). A comparação entre os materiais revelou diferença significativa apenas para retenção de 0,50 (p=0,017). Não foram encontradas diferenças quando se comparou o mesmo material nas diferentes retenções (p>0,05). Pode-se concluir que para as diferentes retenções, grampos barra T confeccionados em liga de Co-Cr e titânio não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante; o titânio apresentou menores valores de retenção quando comparado à liga de Co-Cr em cada uma das retenções, mas diferença estatisticamente significante só foi encontrada para a retenção 0,50-mm; e ambos materiais mantiveram a capacidade retentiva durante o teste de simulação de uso.
