ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determinate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth and restored with two root post systems: i) resin post, ii) fiber post. A total of 60 teeth were freshly extracted, endodontic ally treated and randomly divided in two groups (n= 30/each group) for standardized restoration; Group 1 (Group R): Resin post and resin restoration, Group 2 (Group FP): Fiberglass post and resin restoration. Both groups' samples were mounted in a metallic base at 135º to allow them to be stabilized and held in the universal testing machine by applying a vertical force at cross speed of 1mm/min. Data were recorded in Newtons (N) Previous to test the fracture resistance; all samples were stored in distilled water at 37 ºC for 24 hours. Data were subject to the Saphiro-Wilk test for normality distribution and Student's t test. Significance was considered at 0.05 values. The values of fiber post group showed normal distribution compared to the resin group, demonstrating less variability among the values. The group FP displayed higher fracture resistance (299.77±100 N) than group R (205.57±86.40 N), with significant differences (p= 0.00002). The greatest fracture resistance was recorded for the group having fiber post reinforced and composite cores. It is suggested that fiberglass post restoration is the first option when endodontic treatment requires core restoration.
RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la resistencia a la fractura de dientes tratados endodónticamente y restaurados con dos sistemas de endopostes radiculares: I) poste de resina, II) poste de fibra. Un total de 60 dientes recién extraídos fueron tratados endodónticamente y divididos al azar en dos grupos (n= 30/ cada grupo) para la restauración estandarizada; Grupo 1 (Grupo R): Pilares de resina y restauración, Grupo 2 (Grupo FP): Pilares de fibra de vidrio y restauración de resina. Las muestras de ambos grupos se montaron en una base metálica a 135º para permitir su estabilización y sujeción en la máquina universal de ensayos aplicando una fuerza vertical a velocidad transversal de 1 mm/min. Los datos se registraron en Newtons (N), para probar la resistencia a la fractura; todas las muestras se almacenaron en agua destilada a 37 ºC durante 24 horas. Los datos se sometieron a la prueba de normalidad de Saphiro-Wilk y la pruebas t de Student. La significancia se consideró con un valor de 0,05. Los valores del grupo de postes de fibra mostraron una distribución normal en comparación con el grupo de resinas, demostrando menor variabilidad entre los valores. El grupo FP mostró mayor resistencia a la fractura (299,77±100 N) que el grupo R (205,57±86,40 N) que el grupo con diferencias significativas (p= 0,00002). La mayor resistencia a la fractura se registró para el grupo que tenía núcleos compuestos y reforzados con postes de fibra. Se sugiere que la restauración posterior de fibra de vidrio es la primera opción cuando el tratamiento de endodoncia requiere una restauración del núcleo.
ABSTRACT
A remoção de facetas de resina composta quando o retratamento se faz necessário representa um desafio ao clínico no sentido de preservação do remanescente dental. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar dispositivos auxiliares na precisão dos retratamentos de facetas diretas, por meio de escaneamento digital. Setenta e cinco espécimes de dente bovino (10 x 8 mm cor A1) foram selecionados, e então foi realizado o escaneamento inicial (T0). Em seguida, os espécimes foram preparados para faceta de resina composta e novamente escaneados (T1) para verificação da padronização dos preparos. As superfícies dentárias foram então restauradas com sistema adesivo e resina composta. Os espécimes foram divididos em 5 grupos (n=15): remoção sem dispositivo auxiliar (CN grupo controle), remoção com alta rotação com LED branco (AL), remoção com alta rotação com luz ultra-violeta (UV), remoção com motor elétrico e multiplicadora 1/5 (MT) e remoção com uso de lupa de aumento 2,5x (MN). A remoção das facetas e o re-preparo dos espécimes foi feito por outro operador, sendo então realizado um novo escaneamento (T2). A alteração volumétrica entre T2 e T1, assim como, as áreas de desgaste dentário e/ou presença de resíduos de resina composta foram avaliados. A média entre desgaste e presença de resíduos entre T2 e T1 foi também realizada. Os dados foram submetidos aos testes estatísticos de Kruskal-Wallis e pós teste de Dunn ao nível de significância de 5%. Não foi encontrada diferença estatística entre os grupos entre T1 e T0, com uma média de desgaste de 0,28 mm (± 0,07), p ≥ 0.05. Somente houve diferença entre os grupos para as análises referentes às áreas de desgaste e de presença de resíduos (p ≤ 0,05). Ocorreu maiores áreas de desgaste para o grupo MN, sendo estatisticamente superior aos grupos CN e MT (p≤ 0,05). O oposto ocorreu para áreas de resíduos, sendo que o grupo MN apresentou as menores áreas de resíduos, sendo estatisticamente inferior aos grupos CN e MT (p≤ 0,05). Considerando a média entre desgaste e resíduos, ocorreu um desgaste adicional após o re-preparo, indepedente do grupo (p≥ 0,05). Apesar do uso de lupa odontológica ser mais efetivo para remoção da resina composta durante o retratamento de faceta direta, este proporciona maior desgaste da estrutura dentária. A similaridade da fluorescência entre a resina composta e o substrato dentário minimizou os benefícios do dispositivo com luz UV(AU)
The removal of direct composite veneers when the retreatment is necessary represents a challenge to the clinician in the sense of dental preservation. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate auxiliary devices, in the precision of direct composite veneers retreatments, through digital scanning. Seventy-five bovine tooth specimens (10 x 8 mm - A1 shade) were selected and the initial scanning (T0) was performed. Then, the specimens were prepared for direct composite veneer and rescanned (T1) to verify the standardization of the preparations. The dental surfaces were then restored with adhesive system and composite resin. The specimens were divided into 5 groups (n=15): removal without auxiliary device (CN - control group), removal with a hand piece with a white LED (WL), removal with a hand piece with an UV light source (UV), removal with electric motor and multiplier 1/5 hand piece (MT); and removal with the use of a 2.5x dental loupe (MN). The removal of the restorations and the re-preparation of the specimens were done by another operator, and a new scanning (T2) was performed. The volumetric change between T2 and T1, as well as the areas of additional dental wear and presence of composite resin residues were evaluated. The mean considering additional wear and the presence of residues between T2 and T1 were also performed. The data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's as post-test, at significance level of 5%. No statistical difference among the groups were found between T1 and T0 with a wear mean of 0.28 mm (±0.07), p≥ 0.05. There were only statistical differences between the groups for the analyses related to the areas of wear and presence of residues (p≤ 0.05). There were greater areas of wear for MN group, being statistically superior to CN and MT groups (p≤ 0.05). The opposite occurred for areas of presence of residues, with the MN group presenting smaller areas of residues, being statistically lower than the CN and MT groups (p≤ 0.05). Considering the average between wear and residues, additional wear occurred after re-preparation, regardless of the group (p≥ 0.05). Although the use of dental loupe is more effective for removal of composite resin during the retreatment of direct composite veneers, it provides greater wear of the dental structure. The fluorescence similarity between the composite resin and the dental substrate minimized the benefits of UV light device(AU)

It is important for the medical students to understand the horizontal planes of human normal brain. Particularly in recent decades, the popularization of magnetic resonance images has made the horizontal planes of brain more necessary. Color atlas of neuroanatomy or plastic models of brain have been widely used for this purpose. However, they are as nor realistic neither accurate as the human brain specimens. Thus, it is necessary to make educational tools of the human brain specimens. In most cases, brains are serially sectioned with 10 mm-thickness, but this is not sufficient for the close observation. Brains can be serially sectioned with 1 mm-thickness by using a polycut or cryomacrotome. However, those equipments cost high and the samples should be treated for a long period of time before serial sectioning. If the brain slices are preserved in the preservative solution, they can be easily damaged. In order to overcome this problem, the plastination method which allows plastic to penetrate into brain tissues was developed. However, this method costs high and requires the complex technique. Thus, we attempted to develop a rapid way to make the permanent specimens of brain slices with reasonable efforts using synthetic resin. A brain of 41 years old man cadaver was taken out and soaked in 10% formalin solution. The embedding box was made of acryl plate and acryl cylinder. An amount of 20% gelatin solution was poured into the embedding box and solidified to make gelatin bottom. The brain was put on the gelatin bottom, while the brain direction was adjusted for horizontal serial sectioning of the brain. 25% gelatin solution is poured and solidified to make gelatin cover. A brain block including brain, gelatin bottom and cover was extracted from the embedding box and the brain block was soaked in 10% formalin solution to make it suitably solid. The brain block was fixed on a meat slicer and serially sectioned at 5 mm-thickness to make 28 brain slices. The brain slices were dehydrated in glycerin solution, which was subsequently removed using paper towel. The permanent specimen molds were made of glass plate and acryl plates. An amount of synthetic resin mixture was poured into the permanent specimen mold and solidified to make synthetic resin bottom. Each brain slice was put on the resin bottom. Synthetic resin mixture was poured and solidified to make synthetic resin cover. Each permanent specimen including brain slice, synthetic resin bottom and cover is extracted from the permanent specimen mold. Margins of the permanent specimens of brain slices were trimmed using an electric acryl cutter and surfaces of the permanent specimens were grinded using an electric sandpaper machine and an electric polishing machine. Signs of the numbers and directions of brain slices were attached on the permanent specimens. Twenty eight horizontal brain slices were made; and each brain slice was processed to make a permanent specimen, so that 28 permanent specimens of brain slices were prepared. The permanent specimens showed the lean surfaces of brain slices with discrimination of the gray and white matters. Using the methods which have been developed in this research, the permanent specimens of brain slices can be made with relatively low cost and little time consuming, which will be practically helpful for neuroanatomy education.
