Rendimiento Clínico de las Restauraciones Adhesivas con Resina Compuesta en Casos de Pacientes con Desgaste Severo e Incremento de Dimensión Vertical: Revisión de Literatura Sistematizada / Clínical Performance of Adhesive Restorations with Composite Resin in Cases of Patients with Severe Wear and Increased Vertical Dimension: Systematized Literature Review

El desgaste dental severo se describe como la pérdida sustancial de la estructura dental, con exposición de la dentina y pérdida significativa de igual o más de 1/3 de la corona clínica. El uso de materiales compuestos de resina permite al clínico ser más conservador, debido a su aplicación mínimamente invasiva. Además de ello, son relativamente económicas, proporcionan buena estética general, así como un buen rendimiento y facilidad en la reparación. El objetivo de esta revisión de literatura sistematizada es recopilar información disponible en la literatura referente a cuál es el rendimiento clínico de las restauraciones adhesivas con resina compuesta en casos de pacientes con desgaste severo e incremento de la dimensión vertical como objetivo rehabilitador. Se analizaron artículos entre los años 2000 y 2022, seleccionando cuatro bases de datos (Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo y Web of Science). Para identificar los descriptores se utilizó los Medical subject headings (Mesh): Tooth Wear, Composite Restorations, Resin y Oral Rehabilitation. No se aplicó restricciones de idioma, país de origen, autor o lugar de publicación donde se realizó el estudio. Como resultado de la búsqueda se obtuvieron 71 artículos, de los cuales se seleccionaron 5 que cumplieron con los criterios de elegibilidad para ser considerados en la revisión de literatura sistematizada. Se encontró un promedio de tasa de éxito ente el 89,4 % - 100 % en un promedio total de 5.2 años de seguimiento. Se puede concluir, hasta donde se tiene conocimiento en la literatura científica disponible, que el tratamiento de restauraciones adhesivas con resinas compuestas en pacientes con desgaste severo es recomendable, enfocado en un periodo a corto-mediano plazo (3-5 años), siendo una opción de tratamiento económica y mínimamente invasiva.

Severe tooth wear is described as the substantial loss of tooth structure, with dentin exposure and significant loss of equal to or more than 1/3 of the clinical crown. The use of resin composite materials allows the clinician to be more conservative, due to its minimally invasive application. In addition to this, they are relatively inexpensive, provide good general aesthetics, as well as good performance and ease of repair. The objective of this systematic literature review is to collect information available in the literature regarding the clinical performance of adhesive restorations with composite resin in cases of patients with severe wear and increase in the vertical dimension as a rehabilitation objective. Articles between the years 2000 and 2022 were analyzed, selecting four databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo and Web of Science). To identify the descriptors, the Medical subject headings (Mesh) were used: Tooth Wear, Composite Restorations, Resin and Oral Rehabilitation. No language, country of origin, author or place of publication restrictions where the study was conducted were applied. As a result of the search, 71 articles were obtained, of which 5 were selected that met the eligibility criteria to be considered in the systematic literature review. An average success rate between 89.4 % - 100 % was found in a total average of 5.2 years of follow-up. It can be concluded, to the best of our knowledge in the available scientific literature, that the treatment of adhesive restorations with composite resins in patients with severe wear is recommendable, focused on a short-medium term period (3-5 years), being a Inexpensive and minimally invasive treatment option.

Biomechanical and chemical behavior of various bioactive materials in class II restorations / Desempeño biomecánico y químico de diferentes materiales bioactivos en restauraciones clase II

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the biomechanical and chemical behavior of various bioactive materials in class II MOD restorations. Forty- eight standardized class II MOD cavities were prepared in sound extracted human molar teeth. The specimens were divided into four groups according to the restorative material: Group 1 (Filtek™ Z350 XT), Group 2 (Biodentine™ as a liner, and then restored with Filtek™ Z350 XT), Group 3 (Cention N™), and Group 4 (Activa™ Bioactive-Restorative). The samples were tested for fracture resistance by subjecting them to a compressive load in a Universal testing Machine. The failure modes of each specimen were evaluated. The alkalinizing potential and calcium ion release of the materials were measured. SEM-EDAX analyses were also performed for all materials. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test (p<0.05). Group 1 showed the higher fracture resistance (p<0.05). Group 3 had greater fracture resistance values but no statistical difference from Group 4. Biodentine™ showed greater biomineralization potential. Class II MOD restorations of Group 1 displayed the higher fracture resistance; however, it was highly associated with catastrophic failure. Conversely, Biodentine™ presented a more significant bioactivity potential, and its use, as in Group 2, promoted the most favorable failure mode.

El objetivo de este estudio, in vitro, fue evaluar el desempeño biomecánico y químico de varios materiales bioactivos en restauraciones clase II MOD. Se prepararon cuarenta y ocho cavidades clase II MOD estandarizadas en dientes molares humanos extraídos. Las muestras se dividieron en cuatro grupos según el material de restauración: Grupo 1 (Filtek™ Z350 XT), Grupo 2 (Biodentine™ como base y luego restaurado con Filtek™ Z350 XT), Grupo 3 (Cention N™) y Grupo 4 (Activa™ Bioactivo-Reparador). La prueba de resistencia a la fractura fue realizada en una máquina de ensayo universal Instron. Se evaluaron los modos de falla de cada espécimen. Se midió el pH y la liberación de iones de calcio de los materiales. Se realizaron análisis SEM-EDAX. Los datos se analizaron mediante ANOVA y la prueba post hoc de Tukey (p<0,05). El grupo 1 mostró la mayor resistencia a la fractura (p<0,05). El Grupo 3 tuvo mayores valores de resistencia a la fractura que el Grupo 4, pero sin diferencia estadística. Biodentine™ mostró un mayor potencial de biomineralización. Las restauraciones Clase II MOD del Grupo 1 mostraron la mayor resistencia a la fractura; sin embargo, estuvo altamente asociado con fallas irreparables. Por el contrario, Biodentine™ presentó un potencial de bioactividad más significativo y su uso, como en el Grupo 2, promovió el modo de falla más favorable.

Efecto del tratamiento de la morfología oclusal con materiales para restauraciones preventivas / Effect of treating occlusal morphology with materials for preventive restorations

Introducción: las fosas y fisuras son áreas formadas por delgadas irregularidades de la capa del esmalte de la superficie oclusal. La compleja morfología en dientes posteriores es un determinante biológico asociado al desarrollo de caries. Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de diversas formas de tratar la morfología oclusal en la adaptación y penetración de materiales utilizados en restauraciones preventivas. Material y métodos: diseño experimental e in vitro. Sesenta terceros molares fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en dos grupos: surco sin ameloplastia y con ameloplastia; además, contaban con acondicionamiento del esmalte que se subdividió en tres subgrupos: 1) sellador de fosas y fisuras, 2) adhesivo/sellador de fosas y fisuras y 3) adhesivo/ resina Flow. Resultados: los subgrupos adhesivo/sellador y adhesivo/ Flow alcanzaron mayores valores de adaptación íntima a las paredes del surco. Las diferencias fueron significativas entre los materiales (p = 0.0009). Las mayores zonas de desadaptación resultaron para el sellador sin y con ameloplastia. La penetración de los materiales fue mayor en los surcos con ameloplastia. En los surcos tratados con ameloplastia, el adhesivo/Flow reveló el mayor porcentaje de penetración y la mejor adaptación a las paredes del surco. Conclusiones: la penetración del material está positivamente correlacionada con la profundidad del surco. El sellador con y sin ameloplastia mostró pobre adaptación a las paredes del surco (AU)

Introduction: pits and fissures are areas formed by fine irregularities in the enamel layer of the occlusal surface. The complex morphology in posterior teeth are biological determinants associated with the development of caries. Objective: to evaluate the effect of various ways of treating occlusal morphology on the adaptation and penetration of materials used in preventive restorations. Material and methods: experimental design, in vitro. Sixty third molars were randomly distributed into two groups: groove without ameloplasty and with ameloplasty, with enamel conditioning with three subgroups: 1) pit and fissure sealer, 2) adhesive/pit and fissure sealer, 3) adhesive/resin flow. Results: the adhesive/sealant and adhesive/flow subgroups reached higher values of intimate adaptation to the furrow walls. The differences were significant between the materials (p = 0.0009). The largest areas of maladjustment were found for the sealant without and with ameloplasty. The penetration of the materials was greater in the grooves with ameloplasty. In the grooves treated with ameloplasty, the adhesive/flow revealed the highest percentage of penetration and the best adaptation to the walls of the groove. Conclusions: the penetration of the material is positively correlated with the depth of the furrow. The sealant with and without ameloplasty showed poor adaptation to the sulcus walls (AU)

Análisis forense de dientes, materiales de obturación y restauraciones protésicas en restos humanos expuestos a elevadas temperaturas. Revisión de la literatura / Forensic analysis of teeth, filling materials and prosthetic restorations in human remains exposed to high temperatures. Literature review

Resumen El proceso para establecer una identificación odontológica inequívoca se sustenta en la recuperación de la mayor cantidad posible de información post mortem, y su posterior cotejo con aquellos registros ante mortem de la víctima. Los dientes son tejidos del cuerpo humano con una elevada resistencia en su estructura, lo que les permite tolerar el embate de los efectos ambientales como el fuego, la desecación, la descomposición o la inmersión prolongada. En la mayoría de los desastres naturales, y también en los provocados por el hombre, los registros odontológicos pueden contribuir para identificar cuerpos que sería irreconocibles aplicando metodologías tradicionales. En cadáveres quemados o carbonizados, resulta imperativo conservar la evidencia odontológica recuperada, para evitar que su manipulación pueda desvirtuarla e incluso destruirla; por eso se suele fijar y estabilizar antes de ser transportada. Los recursos imagenológicos constituyen una sólida estrategia de perennización de evidencia, los cuales pueden ser complementados por fotografías y toma de impresiones. El presente artículo revisa varios estudios sobre restos dentales, materiales de obturación y aparatos protésicos quemados o carbonizados, haciendo énfasis sobre su importancia en el proceso de identificación humana.

Abstract The process to establish an unequivocal dental identification is based on the recovery of the greatest possible amount of post mortem information, and its subsequent comparison with the ante mortem records of the victim. Teeth are tissues of the human body with high resistance in their structure, which allows them to tolerate the onslaught of environmental effects such as fire, desiccation, decomposition, or prolonged immersion. In most natural disasters, an also in those caused by men, dental records can help identify a body that would be unrecognizable using traditional methodologies. In burned or charred corpses, it is imperative to preserve the recovered dental evidence, to avoid its manipulation from distorting and even destroying it; this is why it is usually fixed and stabilized before being transported. Imaging resources constitute a solid strategy for the perpetuation of evidence, which can also be complemented by photographs and impression taking. This article reviews several studies on dental remains, materials and burned or charred prosthetic devices, emphasizing their importance in the human identification process.

Fuerza de ruptura y adaptación marginal de carillas oclusales confeccionadas con CAD/CAM composite, cerámica híbrida y feldespática fijadas con distintos medios cementantes / Breaking strength and marginal adaptation of occlusal veneers made with CAD / CAM composite, hybrid ceramic and feldspathic fixed with different cementing medium

Resumen Objetivos: a) Comparar la fuerza de ruptura (FR), adaptación marginal externa (AME) y angulación intracuspídea (AI) entre carillas oclusales confeccionadas con composite, cerámica híbrida y feldespática obtenidas con sistemas CADCAM fijadas con distintos medios cementantes y b) evaluar si el medio cementante, la AME y la AI influyen en la FR. Materiales y métodos: 50 premolares conformaron 6 grupos de acuerdo a la combinación de los materiales Cp, omposite Paradigm MZ100 (P), Cerámica híbrida VitaEnamic (VE), Cerámica feldespática Vitablocks Mark II (F) con los cementos Variolink N curado dual (VN) o resina compuesta Z100 calentada (RC): Grupo 1 (n=10) P-VN, Grupo 2 (n=10) P-RC, Grupo 3 (n=10) VE-RC, Grupo 4 (n=10) VE-VN, Grupo 5 (n=5) F-VN, Grupo 6 (n=5) F-RC. Los dientes preparados y acondicionados recibieron carillas confeccionadas utilizando el Sistema Cerec 3. Luego, fueron sometidas a fuerzas compresivas en una máquina de ensayos universal, aplicando una carga con una velocidad de desplazamiento igual a 0,5 mm/ minuto hasta el cese por fractura catastrófica. Previo a realizar los ensayos se midió la AME en sus cuatro caras y la AI. Resultados: Se obtuvieron valores de mayor FR para los Grupos 1 y 2, que se diferenciaron significativamente de los otros 4 grupos (p<0,05). El medio cementante no influyó sobre la FR (p>0,05). Hubo diferencias con relación a los materiales y la AME favoreciendo al Grupo 1 (p<0,05). Conclusiones: Las carillas oclusales confeccionadas en composite con sistemas CAD-CAM (Paradigm MZ100) necesitaron mayor fuerza para provocar su ruptura y registraron menores desadaptaciones.

Abstract Aims: a)To compare the breaking strength (BS), external marginal adaptation (EMA) and intracuspid angulation (ID) between occlusal veneers made with composite, hybrid ceramic and feldspathic obtained with CAD-CAM systems fixed with different cementing medium and b) to evaluate the effect that the cement, the EMA and ID have on the BS. Materials and methods: 50 premolars formed 6 groups according to the combination of the Composite Paradigm MZ100 (P), VitaEnamic hybrid ceramic (VE), Vitablocks Mark II feldspathic ceramic (F) with the dual-cured Variolink N (VN) or Z100 Heated Composite Resin (RC): Group 1 (n10) P-VN, Group 2 (n10) P-RC, Group 3 (n10) VERC, Group 4 (n10) VE-VN, Group 5 (n5) F-VN, Group 6 (n5) F-RC. The teeth received a preparation and were conditioned, subsequently, they received occlusal veneers using the Cerec 3 System. They were then subjected to compressive forces in a Testing Machine, applying a load with a speed of movement equal to 0.5 mm/ minute until it stopped due to catastrophic fracture. Before carrying out the tests, the EAM was registered in four faces and the ID was measured. Results: Higher BS were obtained for Groups 1 and 2, which differed significantly from Groups 3,4,5 and 6 (p<0.05). The cementing medium did not influence the BS (p>0.05). There were differences in relation to the materials and the EMA favoring Group 1 (p<0.05). Conclusions: The occlusal veneers made in composite with CAD-CAM systems (Paradigm MZ100) required greater force to cause their rupture and registered less misadaptations.

Concordancia entre diferentes observadores en la evaluación de las restauraciones dentales en radiografías panorámicas / Agreement among different observers in the evaluation of dental restorations in panoramic radiographs

El objetivo fue evaluar la concordancia entre dife-rentes docentes del Hospital Odontológico Universi-tario de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires en la evaluación de restauraciones dentales en radiografías panorámicas. Se diseñó un formulario ad-hoc basado en los criterios de Ryge modificados. Se construyeron cinco categorías: pre-sencia y tipo (R), extensión (E), y condición (C), de cada restauración; situación respecto de tratamientos endodónticos (EN) y presencia y tipo de anclaje intra-rradicular (A). Después de diferentes reuniones vir-tuales de calibración con ajustes correspondientes en el formulario, se seleccionaron al azar veinticinco radiografías panorámicas de la base de datos de la Cátedra de Diagnóstico por Imágenes. Tres observa-dores aplicaron en forma simultánea e independien-te las categorías a tres piezas (1.1, 1.3 y 1.6) en cada radiografía. La concordancia se evaluó con Kappa de Fleiss por categoría y por diente/categoría. Resulta-dos: categoría/diente(IC95%): R:1.1: 0,96 (0,90-1,2), 1.3: 0,77 (0,56-0,99), 1.6: 0,92 (0,80-1,03); E: 1.1: 0,92 (0,85-1), 1.3: 0,89 (0,73-1,04), 1.6: 0,92 (0,80-1,03); C: 1.1: 0,88 (0,78-0,98), 1.3: 0,74 (0,38-1,10), 1.6: 1 (1-1); EN: 1.1 y 1.3: 1 (1-1), 1.6: 0.90 (0.77-1.04); A: 1.1 y 1.6: 1 (1-1), 1,3: 0,88 (0,71-1,04). En las condiciones de este trabajo el grado de concordancia según Landis & Koch fue de casi perfecto a sustancial en todas las situaciones analizadas (AU))

The aim of this study was to assess agreement among different observers in the evaluation of dental resto-rations in panoramic x-rays at the Dental Hospital of the School of Dentistry, University of Buenos Aires. Materials and methods: an ad-hoc form based on the modified Ryge criteria was designed. Five categories were built: presence and type (R), extension (E), and condition (C), of each restoration, if present, pre-sence and condition of endodontic treatment (EN) and presence and type of intra-root anchorage devices (A). After several virtual calibration meetings among the observers with subsequent adjustments in the form, twenty-five panoramic x-rays were randomly selected and all categories were assessed in three teeth (1.1, 1.3 and 1.6) in each image. The assessment was carried out simultaneously and independently by three evaluators, who registered the data in the de-signed form. Agreement was assessed by category and by category/tooth with Fleiss Kappa. Results: category/tooth (95% CI): R/1.1: 0.96(0.90-1.2),1.3: 0.77(0.56-0.99), 1.6:0.92 (0.80-1.03); E/1.1: 0.92 (0.85-1), 1.3: 0.89 (0.73-1.04), 1.6: 0.92 (0.80-1.03); C: 1.1: 0.88 (0.78-0.98), 1.3: 0.74 (0.38-1.10), 1.6: 1 (1-1); EN: 1.1 and 1.3: 1 (1-1), 1.6: 0.90 (0.77-1.04); A: 1.1 and 1.6: 1 (1- 1), 1.3: 0.88 (0.71-1.04). Within the conditions of this study the degree of agreement ac-cording to Landis & Koch was from almost perfect to substantial in all the situations analyzed (AU)

El material restaurador ideal en la era de la odontología de invasión mínima. Rescatando al oro directo / The ideal restorative material at the minimal invasive dentistry era. Rescuing direct gold

Los logros de los avances obtenidos en el manejo actual de la caries han dado la oportunidad a los odontólogos de detectar lesiones de caries en sus estadios incipientes. A pesar de la existencia de una gran variedad de materiales restauradores directos disponibles en el mercado actual y que pueden utilizarse para restaurar lesiones pequeñas de caries, el material que tiene más posibilidades de éxito para este tipo de lesiones es sin duda alguna el oro cohesivo, también conocido como oro directo (AU)

The goals obtained with the current management of dental caries has given the dentists the opportunity to detect incipient caries lesions in early stages. Although, the current existence of a great variety of direct restorative materials available in the market to restore small caries lesions, the material that may show better success for these type of lesions, is without any doubt: the gold foil or direct gold (AU)

Longevity of bonded composite restorations after dentin biomodification with neolignans obtained from Nectandra leucantha / Longevidade de restaurações de resina composta após biomodificação de dentina com neolignanas obtidas de Nectandra leucantha

Objective: This in vitro study evaluated the effect of neolignan-containing solutions on dentin biomodification previously applied to the bonding procedure in adhesive restorations. Material and Methods: Neolignans, dehydrodieugenol B­CP1 and dehydrodieugenol B methyl ether­CP2, were isolated from Nectandra leucanthaand two aqueous solutions containing 0.13% neolignans, 0.2% propylene glycol and 3.0% ethanol were prepared. Bovine teeth were ground flat to obtain 2-mm thick specimens which received resin composite restorations (N=10). The neolignan solutions were applied before the bonding procedure (60 s). Experimental groups were: control, untreated group, 0.12% chlorhexidine gel, 0.13% CP1 solution, and 0.13% CP2 solution. A push-out bond strength test was conducted (0.5 mm/min). Bovine tooth sections (0.5×1.7×7.0 mm) were also obtained to assess the modulus of elasticity and mass change after treatment (N=15). A three-point bending test evaluated the elastic modulus of fully demineralized dentine beams after immersion in the solutions. The data were statistically analyzed (α = 0.05). Results: The bond strength of the restorations to dentin was significantly improved by the treatment with neolignan-containing solutions, irrespective of the evaluation time (p<0.05). After 6 months, a significant reduction in the bond strength was observed in the groups treated with the solutions (p>0.05), but the means were significantly higher than the control groups (p<0.05). The elastic modulus of demineralized dentin was significantly improved after the treatment with the solutions (p<0.05). All groups lost mass weight. Conclusion: The solutions improved the in vitro longevity of bonded restorations, possibly due to the dentin biomodification effect of the neolignans.(AU)

Objetivo: Este estudo in vitro avaliou o efeito de soluções contendo neolignanas na biomodificação da dentina aplicadas previamente à restaurações adesivas. Material e Métodos: Neolignanas, desidrodieugenol B­CP1 e éter metílico de desidrodieugenol B-CP2, foram isolados da espécie Nectandra leucantha e duas soluções aquosas contendo 0,13% de neolignanos, 0,2% de propilenoglicol e 3,0% de etanol foram preparadas. Dentes bovinos foram lixados para obter espécimes de 2 mm de espessura e preparos cavitários restaurados com resina composta (N=10). As soluções foram aplicadas em dentina antes do procedimento adesivo (60 s). Os grupos experimentais foram: controle, grupo não tratado, gel de clorexidina 0,12%, solução de CP1 a 0,13% e solução de CP2 a 0,13%. Foi realizado o teste de resistência de união push-out (0,5 mm/min). O módulo de elasticidade e a alteração de massa após tratamento da dentina (0,5×1,7×7,0 mm) foram também avaliados em teste de flexão de três pontos (N=15). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente (α=0,05). Resultados: A resistência de união das restaurações à dentina melhorou significativamente com o tratamento com as soluções, independentemente do tempo de avaliação (p<0,05). Após 6 meses, foi observada redução significativa da resistência de união nos grupos tratados com as soluções (p>0,05), com médias significativamente maiores do que nos grupos controle (p<0,05). O módulo de elasticidade da dentina desmineralizada aumentou significativamente após tratamento com as soluções (p<0,05). Todos os grupos perderam massa, independentemente do tratamento. Conclusão: As soluções melhoraram in vitroa longevidade das restaurações adesivas, possivelmente devido ao efeito biomodificador da dentina das neolignanas(AU)

El ciclo repetitivo en la Odontología Restauradora / The repetitive cycle in Restorative Dentistry

Los cambios en la vida, así como también en el campo de la Odontología, deben ser para mejorar siempre en todos los aspectos posibles. Y muchos de los cambios recientes en la Odontología Restauradora están encaminados a la utilización de materiales estéticos para remplazo de restauraciones metálicas previas, sin generar certeza total de ser mejores opciones. Esto ha generado un marcado incremento en la tendencia a practicar, más enfáticamente, el remplazo de restauraciones previas (AU)

Changes in life, as so in the field of Dentistry, should always be for the improvement on most possible aspects. Many of the recent changes in Restorative Dentistry are focus on the use of cosmetic materials to replace previous metallic restorations, without total certainty of being better options. This has generated a marked increase in the tendency to practice, more emphatically, the replacement of previous restorations (AU)

Material and Method: PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were screened for literature. Articles other than those in English language were excluded. For the review, the complete texts of 49 papers were acquired, with 34 of them being included in the review. Conclusion: Transitional implant placement could be considered as an alternative to removable or fixed resin bonded dental prosthesis in adolescents with a regular follow-up. In such patients, a detailed assessment of growth pattern and a prediction of growth completion has to be done before considering implant as a treatment option.

Aislación relativa comparada con absoluta en restauraciones de resina compuesta en pacientes con dentición permanente / Relative isolation versus rubber dam isolation for composite resin restorations in patients with permanent dentition

RESUMEN: Introducción: La técnica de restauración con resina compuesta requiere un adecuado control de la humedad durante el procedimiento. Para ello, puede realizarse aislación relativa (con tórulas de algodón y eyector de saliva) o aislación absoluta con goma dique de la o las piezas dentarias. Sin embargo, no está claro cuál de estos protocolos sería más efectivo. Métodos: Realizamos una búsqueda en Epistemonikos, la mayor base de datos de revisiones sistemáticas en salud, la cual es mantenida mediante el cribado de múltiples fuentes de información, incluyendo MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, entre otras. Extrajimos los datos desde las revisiones identificadas, analizamos los datos de los estudios primarios, realizamos un metaanálisis y preparamos una tabla de resumen de los resultados utilizando el método GRADE. Resultados y conclusiones: Identificamos tres revisiones sistemáticas que en conjunto incluyeron dos estudios primarios, todos correspondientes a ensayos aleatorizados. Concluimos que realizar aislación relativa comparado con aislación absoluta podría aumentar el riesgo de falla de restauración a los 6 meses, pero la certeza de la evidencia es baja. No es posible establecer con claridad si la aislación relativa disminuye el riesgo de falla de la restauración a 10 años, debido a que la certeza de la evidencia existente ha sido evaluada como muy baja. No se encontraron estudios que evaluaran los desenlaces caries secundaria, sensibilidad postoperatoria y tinción.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Resin composite restorations technique requires effective control of moisture during the procedure. Isolation and moisture control can be performed by relative isolation (use of cotton rolls combined with aspiration by saliva ejector) or rubber dam isolation. However, there is uncertainty regarding which one of these protocols would be most beneficial. Methods: We searched in Epistemonikos, the largest database of systematic reviews in health, which is maintained by screening multiple information sources, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, among others. We extracted data from the systematic reviews, reanalyzed data of primary studies, conducted a meta-analysis and generated a summary of findings table using the GRADE approach. Results and conclusions: We identified three systematic reviews including two studies overall, of which all were randomized trials. We conclude that relative isolation may increase the risk of failure of the restorations at 6 months. We are uncertain whether relative reduces the risk of failure of the restorations at 10 years as the certainty of the evidence has been assessed as very low. No studies were found that looked at secondary caries, post-operative sensitivity or stained margins.

Percepción de estudiantes respecto al recambio de restauraciones / Students' perception regarding the replacement of restorations

Introducción: El reemplazo de restauraciones defectuosas representa la mayor parte de la práctica del odontólogo, lo que lleva a una perdida mayor del remanente dentario ante cada reemplazo. Objetivo: Determinar si existe variación del criterio clínico en alumnos frente a la decisión de recambio en restauraciones de resina compuesta previo y posterior al reacondicionamiento. Material y Métodos: Estudio analítico transversal. Se contó con una muestra de 40 estudiantes de quinto año de un universo de 72. Se utilizó un set fotográfico, que contaba con restauraciones defectuosas, en uno o más parámetros según los criterios RYGE/USPHS, las cuales posteriormente se reacondicionaron, por lo que se contaba con las fotografías del antes y del después del tratamiento conservador. Se realizó una encuesta a partir de las fotografías mostradas en la cual debían indicar la elección de tratamiento. Resultados: Se observó que hay una gran variación de elección de tratamiento previo a ser reparadas con tratamientos conservadores: 38 por ciento y no conservador de 62 por ciento y frente a la misma restauración de resina posterior a haber sido intervenida la elección de tratamiento conservador fue de 83 por ciento y no conservador 17 por ciento. Mediante el Test de McNemar se obtuvo un p<0.0001 entre elección de tratamiento conservador por sobre el no conservador posterior a haber sido realizada el reacondicionamiento de la restauración. Conclusiones: Existe un cambio en la percepción sobre la indicación de tratamiento de restauraciones defectuosas, a favor de una alternativa conservadora, después de que han sido intervenidas con procedimientos mínimamente invasivos(AU)

Introduction: The replacement of defective restorations, which leads to a greater loss of the dental remnant before each replacement, represents the large majority of the dentist's practice. Objective: To determine if there is any variation in students´ clinical criterion in relation to the decision of replacement of composite resin restorations prior to and following reconditioning. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted. The sample was composed of 40 fifth-year students in a universe of 72. A set of photographs showing defective restorations in one or more parameters evaluated according to RYGE / USPHS criteria was used. They were later reconditioned, so there were photographs prior to and following conservative treatment. Based on the photographs shown, a survey in which they had to indicate the choice of treatment was performed. Results: We observed that there is a great variation in the choice of treatment prior to the repair with conservative treatments (38 percent) and non-conservative ones (62 percent), compared to the same resin restoration after the choice of conservative treatment (83 percent) and non-conservative one (17 percent). Using the McNemar Test, p<0.0001 was obtained between the choice of conservative treatment over the non-conservative one after the restoration reconditioning had been performed. Conclusions: There is a change in perception of the indication of treatment to repair defective restorations towards a conservative alternative after they have undergone minimally invasive procedures(AU)

Fracture of upper incisors: a three-year follow-up of a multidisciplinary approach / Fratura em incisivos centrais superiores: tratamento multidisciplinar com acompanhamento clínico de três anos

ABSTRACT Multiple clinical specialties are usually needed for a successful long-term treatment in buccal cavity. The aim of this article is to report a clinical case of multi-disciplinary rehabilitation of fracture upper incisors without pulp exposure, concerning about endodontics, periodontics and restorative dentistry comments or procedures. A case of a patient reporting trauma that resulted in fracture and substantial loss of hard tissue, in mesial angle of both upper central incisors (11 and 21). In palatal side, fracture extended beyond cingulum up to subgingival region. Periodontal surgery was performed in order to reestablish biological space. Clinical and radiographic assessments demonstrated no need for endodontic treatment, since pulp was vital and non-altered. Preparations for restorative procedures were minimally invasive, followed by composite direct. A three-year follow-up was performed, consisting in re-assessment of clinical and radiographic aspects, re-polishing of the restorations and photographic documentation. No pulp tissue alteration was observed after the follow-up period. Restorative procedures, adjacent tissues and pulp vitality were considered adequate, and the patient was satisfied with the treatment.

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é relatar um caso clínico de reabilitação de incisivos superiores fraturados sem exposição pulpar, com considerações na área de endodontia, periodontia e dentística restauradora. O caso relata um trauma que resultou em perda substancial de tecido dentário em ângulo mesial de ambos os incisivos centrais superiores. Na parede palatina, a fratura se estendeu além do cíngulo até a região subgengival. A cirurgia periodontal foi realizada para restabelecer o espaço biológico. As avaliações clínicas e radiográficas não demonstraram necessidade de tratamento endodôntico, pois a polpa se apresentava vital e sem alterações.

Reparación comparada con reemplazo de restauraciones directas posteriores defectuosas en pacientes con dentición permanente / Repair versus complete replacement for defective direct restorations in permanent teeth

RESUMEN: Introducción: Las restauraciones directas posteriores defectuosas han sido tratadas tradicionalmente a través del reemplazo de la restauración. Sin embargo, por las posibles complicaciones de este procedimiento, la reparación de las restauraciones ha sido ampliamente utilizado en la práctica clínica, pero su uso sigue siendo controvertido. Métodos: Realizamos una búsqueda en Epistemonikos, la mayor base de datos de revisiones sistemáticas en salud, la cual es mantenida mediante el cribado de múltiples fuentes de información, incluyendo MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, entre otras. Extrajimos los datos desde las revisiones identificadas, analizamos los datos de los estudios primarios, realizamos un metanálisis y preparamos una tabla de resumen de los resultados utilizando el método GRADE. Resultados y conclusiones: Identificamos una revisión sistemática que incluyó nueve estudios primarios, todos correspondientes a ensayos aleatorizados. Como conclusión podemos señalar que la reparación comparado con el reemplazo de restauraciones directas posteriores defectuosas podría aumentar el riesgo de necesidad de reintervención, podría resultar en poca o nula diferencia en el riesgo de sensibilidad postoperatoria y podría aumentar el riesgo de caries secundaria, pero la certeza de la evidencia es baja.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Traditionally, restoration replacement has been widely used for the treatment of defective restorations in permanent teeth. Due to complications related to total replacement, restoration repair has been incorporated into dental practice. However, the use of repair over replacement for defective restorations is still controversial. Methods: We searched in Epistemonikos, the largest database of systematic reviews in health, which is maintained by screening multiple information sources, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, among others. We extracted data from the systematic reviews, reanalyzed data of primary studies, conducted a meta-analysis and generated a summary of findings table using the GRADE approach. Results and conclusions: We identified one systematic review including nine studies overall, of which all were randomized trials. We conclude that repair versus complete replacement may improve the risk of reintervention, may make little or no difference to risk of postoperative sensibility and may improve the risk of secondary caries, but the certainty of the evidence has been assessed as low.

Characteristics and Dental Treatments of Children under General Anaesthesia

@#The goal of this retrospective study was to determine the types of dental treatments provided to paediatric patients under general anaesthesia (GA) at the Advanced Medical and Dental Institute, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Records of the 113 patients under 18 years old who had undergone dental treatment under GA from November 2015 to February 2019 were retrieved and reviewed. The median age for subjects was six years old and the data were skewed to the left. Subjects were diagnosed with early childhood caries (n = 94) where total oral rehabilitation was performed for most subjects (n = 82). Higher number of deciduous teeth were extracted (n = 488) with average number per person of 5.5 as compared to permanent teeth (n = 43) with 2.9 average number per person. The leading cause of surgical cases was removal of supernumerary and impacted teeth. Tooth colour restoration and stainless-steel crowns were commonly used in restorative procedures. Although most of the patients were in the American Society of Anaesthesiology categories I and II, treatments were performed under GA because complete oral rehabilitation was required. In conclusion, dental treatment under GA is essential for providing complete oral rehabilitation in young patients, especially those with early childhood caries or medical and behavioural problems.

Application and prospects of 3d printing technology in dental manufacturing / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: In the case of tooth defect or missing, the treatment should be achieved by making a personalized prosthesis. Traditional manufacturing process is time-consuming, costly and accurate. After the introduction of 3D printing technology into dental manufacture, the manufacturing efficiency and quality can be improved to a certain extent. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the application of 3D printing technology in dental manufacture, discuss the bottleneck in recent application, and guide the development of 3D printing technology in dental manufacture. METHODS: The authors used the search times "3D printing, metal implant, dental manufacturing, dental restorations” to search Web of Science, Wanfang, CNKI databases in English and Chinese separately to search papers published during 1980-2019. 261 papers were preliminarily retrieved and 60 of them were included in the final analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: 3D printing dental mold, digital implant guide plate and wax pattern have been widely used in dental manufacture. 3D printing technology has been widely used in dental manufacture. The most widely used six processes are stereo lithography appearance, laminated object manufacturing, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, selective laser melting, and inkjet printing. There are some technical bottlenecks in the application of 3D printing technology in the field of dental manufacturing. After breaking through technology bottlenecks, 3D printing will be more useful in the field of dental manufacturing in the future.
