ABSTRACT
Introdução: O consumo excessivo de refrigerantes parece alterar as propriedades dos compósitos e essa alteração pode estar relacionada à unidade fotopolimerizadora. Objetivo Avaliar a alteração da rugosidade superficial (delta R) e da cor (delta E) de um compósito polimerizado por diferentes fotopolimerizadores, imerso em água destilada ou Coca-Cola®. Metodologia Sessenta amostras da resina nanoparticulada (FiltekMR Z350 XT, 3M) foram distribuídas de acordo com as diferentes unidades de fotopolimerização: a) luz halógena de quartzo-tungstênio-halogênio (QTH); b) Luz de Emissão Diodo - LED 1 com ponteira de polímero; c) LED 2 com ponteira de fibra ótica. Metade de cada grupo (n=10) foi mantida em água destilada ou imersa em Coca-Cola® 2×/dia por 20 minutos, durante 14 dias. Os dados foram submetidos aos testes Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis (p< =0,05). Resultado A ΔR não foi significante entre os grupos: em água: QTH = 0,006; LED 1 = 0,019; LED 2 = 0,010 (p=0,33); em refrigerante: QTH = 0,021; LED 1= 0,011; LED 2 = 0,030 (p=0,86). A delta E não foi significativa entre os fotopolimerizadores: em água: QTH = 1,40; LED 1 = 1,80; LED 2 = 1,60 (p=0,31); em refrigerante: QTH = 2,51; LED 1= 1,91; LED 2 = 2,61 (p=0,41), mas foi significante comparando os meios de imersão (p=0,01), exceto para LED 1 (p=0,54). Conclusão: As unidades fotopolimerizadoras não interferiram na rugosidade superficial e na cor da resina composta nanoparticulada. Os mergulhos diários em refrigerante não alteraram a lisura, mas alteraram a cor de modo visualmente perceptível, mas clinicamente aceitável, conforme os parâmetros da literatura científica.
Introduction: The excessive consumption of soft drinks seems to change the properties of composites and may be associated with the light curing unit. Objective: To evaluate changes in surface roughness (delta R) and color (delta E) of one composite polymerized with different light sources, immersed in distilled water or in Coca-Cola®. Methodology: Sixty samples of nanofilled resin (FiltekMR Z350 XT, 3M) were distributed into following light curing units: a) quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) light; b) light emitting diode (LED) with polymer tip (LED 1) and c) LED with optic fiber tip (LED 2). Half of each group (n=10) was kept in water or immersed in Coca-Cola® for 20 minutes 2x/day during 14 days. Data were submitted to the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p<=0.05). Result: The delta R was not significant among groups: in water: QTH = 0.006; LED 1 = 0.019; LED 2 = 0.010 (p=0.33); in soft drink: QTH = 0.021; LED 1= 0.011; LED 2 = 0.030 (p=0.86). The delta E was not significant among light curing units: in water: QTH = 1.40; LED 1 = 1.80; LED 2 = 1.60 (p=0.31); in soft drink: QTH = 2.51; LED 1= 1.91; LED 2 = 2.61 (p=0.41), but was significant compared the immersion media (p=0.01), except for LED 1 (p=0.54). Conclusion The light curing lights did not interfere with the surface roughness and with color of nanofilled composite. Daily dives in soft drinks did not change smoothness, but the color changed to visually perceptible way, though clinically acceptable, according to the scientific literature parameters.

Neste trabalho avaliou-se a influência de choques térmicos e fatores relacionados à fotopolimerização na adesão de acessórios ortodônticos ao dente. Para tanto, foram utilizados três compósitos adesivos comerciais. Foram utilizadas duas fontes de luz LED para polimerização dos compósitos com diferentes tempos de exposição à irradiação. As amostras foram divididas em dois grupos, sendo um deles sujeito à termociclagem. A adesão dos compósitos foi avaliada através da resistência ao cisalhamento. Entre os compósitos estudados, Fill Magic e Transbond mostraram o mais baixo e a mais alta resistência ao cisalhamento, respectivamente. A fonte de luz com maior densidade de potência promoveu a maior resistência ao cisalhamento. A resistência ao cisalhamento dos compósitos Fill Magic e Ortho Lite foi influenciada pela termociclagem.
This study evaluated the influence of thermal shock, and factors related to photopolymerization on the adhesion of orthodontic accessories to teeth. Three light-cured composite adhesives were used. Two LED light sources were used to cure the adhesive composites at different times of the light irradiation. The samples were divided into two groups, with one group subjected to thermocycling. The adhesion of the composites was evaluated through shear bond strength. Fill Magic and Transbond showed the lowest and highest shear bond strength, respectively. The light-curing unit with higher power density promoted greater shear bond strength. The shear bond strength of the Fill Magic and Ortho Lite adhesives was influenced by thermocycling.

Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar as tensões de contração de um compósito geradas pela polimerização em função da área aderida. Cilindros de vidro com 2 mm de diâmetro (G1) ou com 4 mm (G2) foram posicionados nas porções inferior e superior da máquina de testes. A distância dos cilindros de G1 era 2 mm e de G2 1 mm. Em cada grupo, a resina (Fill-Magic - Vigodent) foi inserida e fotoativada entre os cilindros e a t ensão m edida p or 1 5 m inutos ( n = 5 ). Os dados foram analisados pelo teste t-Student (p< 0,05). A maior área de adesão gerou menor tensão de contração para o material testado.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the shrinkage stress generated during polymerization of a composite resin related to the adhesion area. Cylinders of glass with 2 mm in diameter (G1) or 4 mm (G2) were positioned on the upper and lower portions of the testing machine. The distance from the cylinders was 2 mm in G1 and 1 mm in G2. In each group, the resin (Fill-Magic - Vigodent) was inserted and photopolymerized between the cylinders and the stress was measured for 15minutes (n = 5). Data were analyzed by Student t test (p < 0,05). The largest area of adhesion generated lower shrinkage stress to the tested material.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different light-curing units on the tensile bond strength and microhardness of a composite resin (Filtek Z250 - 3M/ESPE). Conventional halogen (Curing Light 2500 - 3M/ESPE; CL) and two blue light emitting diode curing units (Ultraled - Dabi/Atlante; UL; Ultrablue IS - DMC; UB3 and UB6) were selected for this study. Different light intensities (670, 130, 300, and 600 mW/cm², respectively) and different curing times (20s, 40s and 60s) were evaluated. Knoop microhardness test was performed in the area corresponding to the fractured region of the specimen. A total of 12 groups (n=10) were established and the specimens were prepared using a stainless steel mold composed by two similar parts that contained a cone-shaped hole with two diameters (8.0 mm and 5.0 mm) and thickness of 1.0 mm. Next, the specimens were loaded in tensile strength until fracture in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min and a 50 kg load cell. For the microhardness test, the same matrix was used to fabricate the specimens (12 groups; n=5). Microhardness was determined on the surfaces that were not exposed to the light source, using a Shimadzu HMV-2 Microhardness Tester at a static load of 50 g for 30 seconds. Data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). Regarding the individual performance of the light-curing units, there was similarity in tensile strength with 20-s and 40-s exposure times and higher tensile strength when a 60-s light-activation time was used. Regarding microhardness, the halogen lamp had higher results when compared to the LED units. For all light-curing units, the variation of light-exposure time did not affect composite microhardness. However, lower irradiances needed longer light-activation times to produce similar effect as that obtained with high-irradiance light-curing sources.
