Effect of surface treatment reagents and treatment time on bond strength of glass fiber posts to resin cement / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: At present, there is no uniform standard for the treatment time of chemical reagents for surface treatment of glass fiber posts. Therefore, studying the effect of treatment time of glass fiber post surface treatment reagents on the bond strength between fiber posts and resin cements is of great significance. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of two chemical agents on the bonding strength of glass fiber post and resin cement after surface pretreatment of glass-fiber posts at different times. METHODS: Forty-eight glass fiber posts were randomly divided into eight groups according to different surface treatment methods, six in each group. Group A received no special treatment; group B was treated with silanization for 1 minute; group C1 underwent a 30% hydrogen peroxide surface treatment for 5 minutes prior to 1-minute silanization; group C2underwent a 30% hydrogen peroxide surface treatment for 10minutes prior to 1-minutesilanization; group C3 underwent a 30% hydrogen peroxide surface treatment for 15 minutes prior to 1-minute silanization; group D1 underwent a 35% phosphoric acid surface treatment for 30 seconds prior to 1-minute silanization; group D2 underwent a 35% phosphoric acid surface treatment for 60 seconds prior to 1-minute silanization; group D3 underwent a 35% phosphoric acid surface treatment for 90 seconds prior to 1-minute silanization. The surface morphology of the treated glass fiber posts was observed under scanning electron microscope. The glass fiber post was bonded to the resin cement to form a cylindrical resin block and cut into a thin sample. The sheet was placed on a universal testing machine for micro-extrusion experiments. The failure mode of the specimens was observed under a stereomicroscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Scanning electron microscope: the surface of the fiber post had different degrees of matrix dissolution and fiber bundle exposure after hydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid treatment, but did not destroy the integrity of the fiber bundle. (2) Micro-extrusion experiments: the order of the bonding strength was as follows: group C3 > group C2 > group C1 > group D2 > groupD3 > groupD1> group B > group A, and there was significant difference between groups (P< 0.05) except for groups A and B, groups C2 andC3, and groups D2and D3. (3) Stereo microscope: the failure mode in the groups A and B was almost destruction in adhesion. The other six groups showed destruction in adhesion, but the cohesive failure and mixed failure were increased, and the failure mode changed from destruction in adhesion into cohesive failure and mixed failure. (4) These results indicate that the optimal treatment time of 30% hydrogen peroxide is 10 minutes, and the optimal treatment time of 35% phosphoric acid is 60 seconds. 30% hydrogen peroxide solution treatment of fiber post surface for 10 minutes has great clinical application value.

Effect of different root dentin pretreatment protocols on the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with core buildup material / Efeito de diferentes protocolos de pré tratamento de dentinas radiculares na força de adesão de pinos de fibra cimentados com material de núcleo de preenchimento

Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the push out bond strength of fiber posts -after cementaion with core build up material and dentin pretreatment using different adhesive protocolsin different root regions. Material and Methods: 28 endodonticaly treated human premolars were divided into 4 groups. The post spaces were treated with 1 of 4 different dentin bonding protocols: total etch light cured adhesive, solobond m; total etch dual cured adhesive, Excite f DSC; self-etching light cured adhesive, single bond universal; or selfetching dual cured adhesive, futura bond dc. Fiber posts, were luted with dual cured core material. The roots were cut into 2-mm-thick sections, in cervical, middle, and apical regions. Push-out tests were performed with a universal testing machine, and bond strength values (MPa) were calculated. Data were analyzed with 1- and 2-way analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparison tests (a=.05). Failure modes were examined under stereo microscope. Results: The highest mean bond strength values were obtained for self-etch dual cured adhesive, (9.69 MPa). The Total etch light cured adhesive (2.81 MPa) showed the lowest bond strength. Self-etch light-polymerized and total etch dual-polymerized adhesives provided similar bond strengths (5.37, 5.72 respectively). The regional bond strength values were reduced significantly in apical post space (P<0.01). The most predominant failure type was mixed failure followed by adhesive failure. Conclusion: Dentin pretreatment using self-etch dual cured adhesives prior to fiber posts cementation offers a high bond strength. While using total-etch light cured adhesives is not recommended due to the low bonding quality.(AU)

Influence of the Resin Cement Thickness on the Push-Out Bond Strength of Glass Fiber Posts

Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of resin cement thickness on the bond strength of prefabricated and customized glass fiber posts after storage in distilled water. Thirty human uniradicular roots were treated endodontically. The roots were divided into 3 groups: THIN (thin cement layer) - post space preparation with #0.5 drill and cementation of #0.5 post; THICK (thick cement layer) - post space preparation with #1 drill and cementation of #0.5 post; and CUSTOM (customized cement layer) - post space preparation with #1 drill and cementation of a customized post (#0.5 glass fiber posts customized with resin composite). All posts were luted with self-adhesive resin cement. The push-out test was carried out after storage for 24 h and 90 days in distilled water at 37 °C. The data were analyzed with three-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (a=0.05). Bond strengths were significantly higher for CUSTOM (9.37 MPa), than for THIN (7.85 MPa) and THICK (7.07 MPa), which were statistically similar. Considering the thirds, the bond strength varied in the sequence: apical (7.13 MPa) < middle (8.22 MPa) = coronal (8.94 MPa). Bond strength for 24 h storage was significantly higher (8.80 MPa) than for 90-day storage (7.40 MPa). It may be concluded that the thickness of resin cement influenced the bond strength of glass fiber posts. The customized posts presented higher bond strength. Storage in water for 90 days affected negatively the values of bond strength, especially for thick cement layers in the apical third.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência da espessura da linha de cimento na resistência de união de pinos de fibra de vidro após armazenamento em água destilada. Trinta dentes humanos hígidos unirradiculares tiveram os canais tratados endodonticamente. As raízes foram distribuídas em três grupos: THIN (linha de cimento fina): conduto preparado com broca 0,5 e cimentação de pino 0,5; THICK (linha de cimento espessa): conduto preparado com broca 1 e cimentação de pino 0,5; e CUSTOM (linha de cimento personalizada): conduto preparado com broca 1 e cimentação de pino personalizada (pino 0,5 personalizado com resina composta). Os pinos foram cimentados com cimento auto-adesivo. Após armazenamento das raízes em água destilada a 37 °C por 24 h e 90 dias, o teste de cisalhamento por extrusão push-out foi realizado. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA a três fatores e teste de Tukey (a=0,05). A resistência de união foi significativamente maior para CUSTOM (9,37 MPa), do que para THIN (7,85 MPa) e THICK (7,07 MPa), que foram semelhantes entre si. Considerando-se os terços radiculares, a resistência de união variou na sequência: apical (7,13 MPa) < médio (8,22 MPa) = coronal (8,94 MPa). A resistência de união após 24 h de armazenamento em água foi significativamente maior (8,80 MPa) do que para 90 dias (7,40 MPa). Pode-se concluir que houve influência da espessura da linha de cimento na resistência de união de pinos de fibra de vidro, sendo que o uso de pinos personalizados apresentou maiores valores de resistência de união. O armazenamento em água por 90 dias afetou negativamente os valores de resistência de união, especialmente no terço apical, no grupo com linha de cimento mais espessa.

Objective:To evaluate the micro-push-out bond strengths of prefabricated glass fiber posts with poly-dopamine functionalized to root dentin using resin cements, contrasted with silane treatment. Methods:In the study, 30 glass fiber posts were randomly divided into 3 groups ( 10 posts in each group) for different surface treatments. Group 1, treated with poly-dopa; Group 2, treated with silane coupling agent for 60s;Group 3, no surface treatment (Control group). The 30 extracted human, single-rooted teeth were endodontically treated and a 9 mm post space was prepared in each tooth with post drills provided by the manufacturer. Following post cementation, the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 ℃ for 7 days. The micro-push-out bond strengths were tested using a universal testing machine (0. 5 mm/min), and the failure modes were examined with a stereomicroscope. The data of the three groups were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test(α= 0. 05). Results:The bond strengths were (7. 909 ± 1. 987) MPa for Group 1, (5. 906 ± 0. 620) MPa for Group 2, and 4. 678 ± 0. 910 MPa for Group 3 . The bond strength of poly-dopamine group was significantly higher than that of the silane group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Contrasted with silane treatment, surface poly-dopamine functionaliza-tion was confirmed to be a more reliable method for improving the bond strength of resin luting agents to fiber posts.

A simplified etching technique to improve the adhesion of fiber post

PURPOSE: Numerous methods were used to etch the fiber posts to improve its bonding to root canal dentin. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of 37% phosphoric acid in etching fiber posts in comparison with 24% hydrogen peroxide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety human maxillary central incisors were taken and post space preparation was done. Ninety fiber posts were taken and divided into three groups (n=30) based on the surface treatment they received (H3PO4, H2O2, distilled water) and each group was further divided (n=10) based on the time period of application (15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds). All the posts were luted into canals using Rely X UniCem-2. Each tooth was then sectioned into six slices and subjected to push out test. Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis at P<.05. The surface topography was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Highest bond strength values were noted in 15 seconds etched phosphoric acid group and 60 seconds etched hydrogen peroxide group with no significant difference between two groups. Surface topography revealed complete epoxy layer removal with no damage to its structural integrity in those groups. CONCLUSION: H3PO4 etching for a period of 15 seconds is an effective alternative in improving the adhesion of fiber post to root dentin.

Tensile Strength of Glass Fiber Posts Submitted to Different Surface Treatments

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the tensile strength of glass fiber posts submitted to different surface treatments. Forty-eight maxillary canines had their crowns sectioned and root canals endodontically treated. The roots were embedded in acrylic resin and distributed into 3 groups according to the surface treatment: Group I: the posts were treated with silane agent for 30 s and adhesive; Group II: the posts were cleaned with alcohol before treatment with silane agent and adhesive; Group III: the posts were submitted to conditioning with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 s before treatment with silane agent and adhesive. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups for adhesive polymerization or not before insertion into the canal: A - adhesive was not light cured and B - adhesive was light cured. All posts were cemented with Panavia F and the samples were subjected to tensile strength test in a universal testing machine at crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% significance level. There was statistically significant difference (p<0.01) only between group GIII-B and groups GI-A and GI-B. No significant difference was found among the other groups (p>0.05). It was concluded that the products used for cleaning the posts influenced the retention regardless of adhesive light curing.

O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar a resistência à tração de pinos de fibra de vidro submetidos a diferentes tratamentos de superfície. Quarenta e oito caninos superiores tiveram suas coroas seccionadas e as raízes tratadas endodonticamente. As raízes foram incluídas em resina acrílica e distribuídas em 3 grupos de acordo com o tratamento de superfície aplicado aos pinos: Grupo I: os pinos receberam agente silano por 30 s e adesivo; Grupo II: os pinos foram limpos com álcool e então receberam o agente silano e adesivo; Grupo III: os pinos foram submetidos ao condicionamento com ácido fosfórico a 37% por 30 s, seguido de agente silano e adesivo. Cada grupo foi dividido em 2 subgrupos de acordo com fotoativação do adesivo antes da inserção do pino no interior do canal: A – adesivo não foi fotoativado, B: o adesivo foi fotoativado. Todos os pinos foram cimentados com Panavia F e as amostras foram submetidas a teste de tração utilizando máquina universal de ensaios, com velocidade de 1 mm/min. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à ANOVA a um critério e ao teste de Tukey com nível de significância de 5%. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,01) entre o grupo GIII-B e os grupos GI-A e GI-B. Os demais grupos não apresentaram diferenças significantes entre si (p>0,05). Pode-se concluir que as substâncias utilizadas para a limpeza dos pinos interferiram em sua retenção, independente da fotopolimerização do adesivo.

Objective: Assessment of the influence of the ultrasound and irrigant solutions on the bond strength (BS) of glass fiber posts. Material and Methods: Sixty-six roots of bovine teeth standardized at 16 mm were used. The roots were submitted to a biomechanical preparation up to size #80 Kerr file, with irrigation of 5 ml of saline solution at every file change and then filled. The canals underwent partial desobturation and were divided into 6 groups according to the irrigant solution and the use of ultrasound prior to the post cementation: S – saline solution; C – 2% chlorhexidine solution; H –2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution; US – saline solution + ultrasound; UC – 2% chlorhexidine solution + ultrasound; UH – 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution + ultrasound. After the cementation of the posts, the specimens were cut into 3 slices of 2 mm of thickness, perpendicular to its long axis. The samples were submitted to push-out test with crosshead speed of 1 mm/min and load of 50kgf. The data obtained were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test (level of significance of 5%). Results: Groups C 7.77(±1.8)a, UC 7.82(±1.6)a, S 7.33(±2.2)a, US 6.16(±2.3)a, H 5.43(±1.3)b, UH 5.01(±2.3)b values in Mpa. Only the irrigant solutions showed statistically significant differences (<0.05). Tukey test revealed smaller bond strength for the specimens treated with Sodium Hypochlorite (b). Conclusions: The ultrasound treatment did not show significant difference compared with the other groups; therefore, its use can be indicated prior to the cementation of glass fiber posts without damage to the bond strength. The sodium hypochlorite solution showed the smallest BS values compared with the other groups

As raízes foram submetidas a preparo biomecânico até Lima Kerr #80, com irrigação de 5ml de solução salina fisiológica a cada troca de lima, e foi realizada a obturação. Os espécimes foram parcialmente desobturados e divididos em 6 grupos de acordo com a solução irrigadora e a utilização de ultrassom antes da cimentação do pino: S – solução salina; C – solução de clorexidina 2%; H – solução de hipoclorito de sódio 2,5%; US – solução salina + ultrassom; UC – solução de clorexidina 2% + ultrassom; UH – solução de hipoclorito de sódio 2,5% + ultrassom. Após a cimentação dos pinos, os espécimes foram seccionados em 3 fatias de 2 mm de espessura, perpendiculares ao seu longo eixo. Os corpos de prova foram submetidos ao teste de push-out com velocidade 1 mm/min e carga de 50 kgf. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos aos testes de ANOVA e Tukey (nível de significância 5%). Resultados: Grupos C 7,77(±1,8)a, UC 7,82(±1,6)a, S 7,33(±2,2)a, US 6,16(±2,3)a, H 5,43(±1,3)b, UH 5,01(±2,3)b valores em Mpa. Apenas as soluções irrigadoras apresentaram diferença estatística relevante (<0,05). Ao teste de Tukey, percebeu-se uma resistência menor aos espécimes tratados com Hipoclorito de Sódio (b). Conclusões: O tratamento com ultrassom não demonstrou diferença significante em relação aos demais grupos, portanto pode ser indicado antes da cimentação de pinos de fibra de vidro sem prejuízo na resistência de união. A solução de hipoclorito de sódio apresentou os menores valores de RU comparados aos demais grupos.

Retentive strength of different intracanal posts in restorations of anterior primary teeth: an in vitro study

OBJECTIVES: To determine the retentive strength and failure mode of undercut composite post, glass fiber post and polyethylene fiber post luted with flowable composite resin and resin-cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Coronal parts of 120 primary canine teeth were sectioned and specimens were treated endodontically. The teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 20). Prepared root canals received intracanal retainers with a short composite post, undercut composite post, glass fiber post luted with flowable resin or resin-cement, and polyethylene fiber post luted with flowable resin or resin-cement. After crown reconstruction, samples were tested for retentive strength and failure mode. Statistical analysis was done with one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (p < 0.05). RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences between groups (p = 0.001). Mean bond strength in the undercut group was significantly greater than in the short composite post (p = 0.030), and the glass fiber post (p = 0.001) and the polyethylene fiber post group luted with resin-cement (p = 0.008). However, the differences between the undercut group and the groups with flowable composite as the luting agent were not significant (p = 0.068, p = 0.557). Adhesive failure was more frequent in the fiber post groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although the composite post with undercutting showed the greatest resistance to dislodgement, fiber posts cemented with flowable composite resin provided acceptable results in terms of retentive strength and fracture mode.

Pino anatômico com resina composta: relato de caso / Anatomic fiber post with composite resin: case report

O protocolo restaurador de dentes tratados endodonticamente é um desafio na odontologia adesiva atual, já que existem vários tipos de retentores intrarradiculares à disposição no mercado, com características ópticas e mecânicas que promovem um tratamento satisfatório. Dessa forma, a técnica de pino de fibra anatômico reembasado com resina composta direta torna-se eficiente para uso na clínica odontológica, especialmente em casos de condutos largos e tamanho reduzido de férula. Para tanto, o pino é limpo, aplica-se o silano e adesivo, além da resina composta não polimerizada para moldar o conduto radicular. Após, o pino é tratado novamente e cimentado com uma pequena espessura de linha de cimentação. Nesse artigo, o caso clinico abordará as etapas necessárias para a confecção do pino anatômico, além das estratégias de cimentação adesiva e a restauração com resina composta, trabalhando os conceitos da manutenção de uma delgada linha de cimentação para uma adequada reabilitação dental mantendo biomecânica e retenção do pino de fibra no interior do conduto radicular.

The restorative protocol for endodontically treated teeth is a challenge in adhesive dentistry, since there are several available types of intracanal posts with optical and mechanical characteristics that promotea satisfactory treatment. Thus, the anatomical fiber post technique is efficient for the use in dental practice, especially in cases of large root canals and small dental ferrules. So, the post is cleaned and then the silaneagent and adhesive system are applied, followed by the placement of the non-polymerized composite for root canal modeling. After this, the anatomical fiber post is treated again and followed by the luting procedure, showing a small cementation thickness. In this paper, the case report will address the necessary steps to realize the anatomical fiber post technique using strategies and adhesive cementation with composite resin restoration, working the concepts of maintaining a thin cement line and an adequate dental rehabilitation.

Ultrastructural evaluation of the hybrid layer after cementation of fiber posts using adhesive systems with different curing modes

This in vitro study evaluated the adhesive interface of intraradicular fiber glass posts and root dentin using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Forty-eight single-rooted premolars were randomly divided into 6 groups consisting of chemical, dual, or light cured adhesive systems combined with either chemical or dual cure resin cements. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed the best results for continuity, density and morphology of the hybrid layer and resin tags for the combination of a self-cure adhesive with self-cure cement resin, followed by a dual-cure adhesive with self-cure cement resin, and finally a light-cure adhesive with self-cure cement. For the dual-cure resin cement, the same relation may be observed. The apical third was the most critical region for evaluated the criteria for all combinations of materials (Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman tests; p<0.001). Generally, the simplification of steps in the adhesive system and the polymerization reaction of resin adhesives and cements produced a direct effect on the quality of the adhesive post/dentin substrate interface.

Este estudo in vitro avaliou as interfaces adesivas de pinos intra-radiculares de fibra de vidro e a dentina radicular utilizando microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV). Quarenta e oito pré-molares unirradiculares foram divididos ao acaso em seis grupos, compostos por sistemas adesivos de cura química, dual ou fotopolimerizável, associado com cimentos resinosos de polimerização química ou dual. As análises microscópicas mostraram a maior continuidade, densidade e morfologia da camada híbrida e prolongamentos resinosos para a associação entre adesivos e cimentos auto-polimerizáveis seguido pelo grupo do adesivo de dupla polimerização e cimento de resina auto-polimerizável, e finalmente pelo adesivo fotopolimerizável e cimento de resina auto-polimerizável . Para os cimentos resinosos de dupla polimerização a mesma relação pode ser observada. O terço apical mostrou ser o substrato mais crítico em relação aos critérios avaliados para todas as associações entre os materiais usados(testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Friedman p<0,001). De maneira geral, a simplificação dos passos do sistema adesivo e a reação de polimerização dos adesivos e cimentos resinosos produzem efeitos diretos na qualidade da interface adesivo pino/dentina.

Regional bond strengths to root canal dentin of fiber posts luted with three cementation systems

This study evaluated the influence of the cementation system on the regional push-out bond strength and failure pattern of fiber posts to radicular dentin. The roots of 48 extracted human incisors were prepared and divided into 3 groups (n=16), according to the cementation system: AdperScotchbond Multi-Purpose + resin cement RelyX ARC (SBMP+ARC); Adper SingleBond 2 + RelyX ARC (SB+ARC) and; RelyX U100 self-adhesive resin cement (U100). The posts were cemented as per manufacturer’s instructions for each cementation system. After 1 week, the roots were sectioned transversely into 6 discs. Two discs were obtained from the cervical, middle and apical thirds and the push-out test was carried out. The failure pattern was examined on all debonded specimens. The data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey’s test. When U100 was used, no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) was observed among the different root regions. Statistically higher push-out bond strength values were detected in the cervical third for SBMP+ARC and SB+ARC (p<0.05). The U100 showed significantly more mixed failures than SBMP+ARC in the apical third (p<0.05). In conclusion, the self-adhesive cement RelyX U100 was the only cement not sensitive to the root canal region.

Esse estudo avaliou a influência do sistema de cimentação na resistência de união regional e os padrões de fratura de pinos de fibra à dentina radicular. As raízes de 48 incisivos humanos extraídos foram preparadas e divididas em 3 grupos (n=16) de acordo com o sistema de cimentação: AdperScotchbond Multi-Purpose + cimento resinoso RelyX ARC (SBMP+ARC); AdperSingle Bond 2 + RelyX ARC (SB+ARC) e cimento resinoso autoadesivo RelyX U100 (U100). Os pinos foram cimentados conforme as recomendações dos fabricantes para cada sistema de cimentação. Após uma semana, as raízes foram seccionadas transversalmente em 6 discos. Dois discos foram obtidos para os terços coronário, médio e apical e o teste de push-out foi realizado. O padrão de fratura foi avaliado em todos os espécimes. Os dados obtidos foram analisados através dos testes ANOVA dois fatores e Tukey. Quando o cimento U100 foi testado, não foram observadas diferenças significativas (p>0,05) entre as diferentes regiões radiculares. Valores de resistência de união significativamente superiores foram encontrados no terço coronário para SBMP+ARC e SB+ARC (p<0,05). O U100 apresentou significativamente mais fraturas mistas que o SBMP+ARC no terço apical (p<0,05). Conclui-se que o cimento resinoso autoadesivo RelyX U100 foi o único cimento não afetado pela região do canal radicular.

Retenção em canais amplos de núcleos confeccionados por diferentes técnicas com pinos fibro resinosos / Retention of fiber posts made by diferent technics in enlarged root canals

O propósito desse trabalho foi verificar a retenção de pinos fibro resinosos cimentados em canais radiculares alargados simulando raízes extensamente comprometidas, fabricados por duas técnicas usadas para diminuir sua desadaptação; comparando-as ao pino fixado somente com cimento. Foram utilizados vinte e quatro raízes de dentes humanos unirradiculares, padronizadas com 15.0 mm de comprimento e 5.0 ± 0.3 mm de diâmetro. As raízes foram incluídas em resina acrílica e divididas em grupos de acordo com a técnica usada: grupo I - pino DC White Post no2 cimentado com sistema adesivo quimicamente ativado e com cimento resinoso dual; grupo II – mesmo pino reanatomizado com resina composta para copiar a anatomia do canal radicular, cimentado da mesma forma; e grupo III – mesmo pino associado a três pinos acessórios, cimentados do mesmo modo. O canal radicular teve seu diâmetro padronizado pela broca no2 para o pino DC em uma profundidade de 12.0 mm e alargado com uma broca tronco cônica em uma profundidade de 10.0 mm. As oito raízes de cada grupo foram seccionadas transversalmente em três discos de 3.0 mm, a partir da cervical para a execução de um ensaio de extrusão, descartando-se os últimos 2.0 mm, que serviram somente para centralizar o pino. Os valores de retenção foram registrados e tratados estatisticamente por ANOVA e pelo teste SNK (p<0.05). Diferenças significativas foram observadas entre três porções radiculares investigadas em todos os grupos, com os valores de retenção diminuindo da cervical para apical. A retenção na porção apical do grupo com pinos customizado com resina foi estatisticamente maior que na mesma região dos demais grupos. Nenhuma diferença foi encontrada entre o grupo com pinos acessórios e o grupo somente com pino e cimento nessa parte da raiz. Nenhuma diferença foi observada comparando as porções cervical e média dos diferentes grupos. Os tipos de falha após o teste de extrusão foram observados em microscópio eletrônico de...

The eight roots of each group were transversely sectioned in three 3.0 mm diameter discs, starting from cervical to make the push out test, discarding the last 2.0mm used only to centralize the post. The retention values were registered and statistically treated with ANOVA and SNK tests (p<0.05). Significant differences were observed when comparing the three root portions of all groups investigated, with retention values decreasing from cervical to apical. The retention in apical portion of customized posts was statistically greater than the same parts of other groups. No differences were found between the group with accessory posts and only cemented posts in this root portion. No differences was observed comparing cervical e middle portions of different groups. The failure types after the push out test were observed in MEV with 200, 600 e 1000x magnification. They occurred exclusively between the post and the resin cement or the composite resin. A hybrid layer was more easily observed in the cervical and middle portions of the roots in all groups. This suggests that the...

Retenção em canais amplos de núcleos confeccionados por diferentes técnicas com pinos fibro resinosos / Retention of fiber posts made by diferent technics in enlarged root canals

O propósito desse trabalho foi verificar a retenção de pinos fibro resinosos cimentados em canais radiculares alargados simulando raízes extensamente comprometidas, fabricados por duas técnicas usadas para diminuir sua desadaptação; comparando-as ao pino fixado somente com cimento. Foram utilizados vinte e quatro raízes de dentes humanos unirradiculares, padronizadas com 15.0 mm de comprimento e 5.0 ± 0.3 mm de diâmetro. As raízes foram incluídas em resina acrílica e divididas em grupos de acordo com a técnica usada: grupo I - pino DC White Post no2 cimentado com sistema adesivo quimicamente ativado e com cimento resinoso dual; grupo II – mesmo pino reanatomizado com resina composta para copiar a anatomia do canal radicular, cimentado da mesma forma; e grupo III – mesmo pino associado a três pinos acessórios, cimentados do mesmo modo. O canal radicular teve seu diâmetro padronizado pela broca no2 para o pino DC em uma profundidade de 12.0 mm e alargado com uma broca tronco cônica em uma profundidade de 10.0 mm. As oito raízes de cada grupo foram seccionadas transversalmente em três discos de 3.0 mm, a partir da cervical para a execução de um ensaio de extrusão, descartando-se os últimos 2.0 mm, que serviram somente para centralizar o pino. Os valores de retenção foram registrados e tratados estatisticamente por ANOVA e pelo teste SNK (p<0.05). Diferenças significativas foram observadas entre três porções radiculares investigadas em todos os grupos, com os valores de retenção diminuindo da cervical para apical. A retenção na porção apical do grupo com pinos customizado com resina foi estatisticamente maior que na mesma região dos demais grupos. Nenhuma diferença foi encontrada entre o grupo com pinos acessórios e o grupo somente com pino e cimento nessa parte da raiz. Nenhuma diferença foi observada comparando as porções cervical e média dos diferentes grupos. Os tipos de falha após o teste de extrusão foram observados em microscópio eletrônico de ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the retention of fiber posts cemented in enlarged root canals simulating compromised roots, fabricated with to two techniques used to minimize your desadptation; comparing it to posts fixed only with ciment. Twenty four single root human teeth standardized in 15.0mm length and 5.0 ± 0.3mm diameter were used. The roots were imbibed in acrylic resin and divided in groups according to the technique used: group I - DC White Post no2 cemented with quimically cured adhesive system and a dual cured resin cement; group II – the same post customized with composite resin to copy the root canal anatomy, cemented the same way; and group III – the same post associated with three accessory posts, cemented the same way. The root canals had their diameter standardized using a no2 DC post burs 12.0 mm deep and enlarged with a chamfer bur 10.0 mm deep. The eight roots of each group were transversely sectioned in three 3.0 mm diameter discs, starting from cervical to make the push out test, discarding the last 2.0mm used only to centralize the post. The retention values were registered and statistically treated with ANOVA and SNK tests (p<0.05). Significant differences were observed when comparing the three root portions of all groups investigated, with retention values decreasing from cervical to apical. The retention in apical portion of customized posts was statistically greater than the same parts of other groups.
