ABSTRACT

El procedimiento clínico de descementado de brackets es crítico para el esmalte. La superficie dentaria queda dañada después de este paso clínico, que, en un principio, parecería sencillo e inocuo. El propósito de este trabajo fue examinar la superficie del esmalte luego del descementado y pulido final. Para tal fin se utilizó la magnificación de imágenes, mediante el empleo de un microscopio óptico de luz coaxial. La muestra incluyó el análisis de 10 arcadas superiores de pacientes en la etapa final de tratamiento.


The clinical procedure of debonding of brackets is critical for the enamel. The dental surface remains damaged after this clinical step, which in principle would seem simple and harmless. The purpose of this work was to examine the surface of the enamel after debonding and final polishing. For such purpose the image magnification was used, by means of an optical microscope of coaxial light. The sample included the analysis of 10 upper arches of patients in the final of treatmente.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficiency of six protocols for cleaning-up tooth enamel after bracket debonding.Methods:A total of 60 premolars were divided into six groups, according to the tools used for clean-up: 12-blade bur at low speed (G12L), 12-blade bur at high speed (G12H), 30-blade bur at low speed (G30L), DU10CO ORTHO polisher (GDU), Renew System (GR) and Diagloss polisher (GD). Mean roughness (Ra) and mean roughness depth (Rz) of enamel surface were analyzed with a profilometer. Paired t-test was used to assess Ra and Rz before and after enamel clean-up. ANOVA/Tukey tests were used for intergroup comparison. The duration of removal procedures was recorded. The association between time and variation in enamel roughness (∆Ra, ∆Rz) were evaluated by Pearson's correlation test. Enamel topography was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results:In Groups G12L and G12H, original enamel roughness did not change significantly. In Groups G30L, GDU, GR and GD, a smoother surface (p < 0.05) was found after clean-up. In Groups G30L and GD, the protocols used were more time-consuming than those used in the other groups. Negative and moderate correlation was observed between time and (∆Ra, ∆Rz); Ra and (∆Ra, ∆Rz); Rz (r = - 0.445, r = - 0.475, p < 0.01).Conclusion:All enamel clean-up protocols were efficient because they did not result in increased surface roughness. The longer the time spent performing the protocol, the lower the surface roughness.


Objetivo: esse estudo objetivou avaliar a eficiência de seis protocolos de remoção de resina do esmalte após a descolagem de braquetes.Métodos:sessenta (60) pré-molares foram divididos em seis grupos conforme as ferramentas utilizadas: broca de 12 lâminas em baixa rotação (G12L), broca de 12 lâminas em alta rotação (G12H), broca de 30 lâminas em baixa rotação (G30L), polidor DU10CO-ORTHO (GDU), Renew System (GR) e polidor Diagloss (GD). As médias de rugosidade (Ra) e profundidade média de rugosidade (Rz) da superfície do esmalte foram analisadas com perfilômetro. Teste t pareado foi utilizado para avaliar Ra e Rz antes e depois da limpeza do esmalte; testes de ANOVA/Tukey foram utilizados para avaliar a diferença intergrupos. A duração dos procedimentos de remoção da resina foi registrada. Ainda, a associação entre o tempo e a variação da rugosidade do esmalte (ΔRa, ΔRz) foi avaliada pelo teste de correlação de Pearson. A topografia do esmalte também foi avaliada, por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV).Resultados:nos grupos G12L e G12H, a rugosidade do esmalte original não se alterou significativamente. Nos Grupos G30L, GDU, GR e GD, foi verificada superfície mais lisa após a limpeza (p< 0,05). Nos Grupos G30L e GD, os protocolos utilizados foram mais demorados que nos demais grupos. Foi observada correlação negativa e moderada entre tempo, ΔRa e ΔRz (r = -0.445, r = -0.475, p< 0,01).Conclusão:todos os protocolos de limpeza do esmalte foram eficientes, pois não resultaram no aumento da rugosidade superficial. Quanto maior o tempo gasto, menor a rugosidade da superfície.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess enamel surface under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after resin removal and enamel polishing procedures following brackets debonding, as well as compare the time required for these procedures. METHODS: A total of 180 deciduous bovine incisors were used. The enamel surface of each tooth was prepared and brackets were bonded with light cured Transbond XT composite resin. Brackets were removed in a testing machine. The samples were randomized and equally distributed into nine groups according to the resin removal and polishing technique: Group 1, 30-blade tungsten carbide bur in high speed; Group 2, 30-blade tungsten carbide bur in high speed followed by a sequence of 4 Sof-lex polishing discs (3M); Group 3, 30-blade tungsten carbide bur in high speed followed by Enhance tips (Dentsply). All groups were subdivided into (a) unpolished; (b) polished with aluminum oxide paste; and (c) polished with water slurry of fine pumice. Subsequently, the enamel surface was assessed and statistical analysis was carried out. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences in enamel roughness and removal time among all groups. Groups 3a, 3b and 3c appeared to be the most efficient methods of removing resin with low damages to enamel. Groups 2a, 2b and 2c were the most time consuming procedures, and Group 2a caused more damages to enamel. CONCLUSION: The suggested protocol for resin removal is the 30-blade tungsten carbide bur in high speed followed by Enhance tips and polishing with aluminum oxide paste. This procedure seems to produce less damages and is less time consuming. .


OBJETIVO: avaliar a superfície do esmalte, por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura, após descolagem de braquetes e o polimento do esmalte, com diferentes técnicas de remoção de resina, bem como comparar o tempo necessário para a realização do procedimento. MÉTODOS: foram utilizados 180 dentes bovinos decíduos. A superfície do esmalte dos dentes foi preparada e realizada a colagem dos braquetes com resina Transbond XT. Os braquetes foram removidos em máquina de ensaio mecânico. Foram formados, aleatoriamente, nove grupos, de acordo com o tipo de remoção da resina e de polimento, sendo: Grupo 1, broca de tungstênio de 30 lâminas em alta rotação; Grupo 2, broca de tungstênio de 30 lâminas em alta rotação e sequência de quatro discos Soflex (3M); Grupo 3, broca de tungstênio de 30 lâminas em alta rotação e pontas de acabamento Enhance (Dentsply). Todos os grupos foram subdividido em (a) sem polimento, (b) polimento com pasta de óxido de alumínio e (c) polimento com pedra-pomes. As superfícies foram avaliadas e foi realizada análise estatística. RESULTADOS: houve diferença estatística entre os grupos em relação à rugosidade de superfície e ao tempo de remoção. Os grupos 3a, 3b e 3c demonstraram ser os métodos mais eficientes de remoção da resina, promovendo pouco dano à superfície do esmalte. Os grupos 2a, 2b e 2c consumiram maior tempo de procedimento, e o grupo 2a causou maior dano ao esmalte. CONCLUSÃO: sugere-se como protocolo de remoção o uso de broca de tungstênio de 30 lâminas para remoção do maior volume da resina, pontas de acabamento Enhance e polimento com a pasta de óxido de alumínio, por produzirem menor dano. .

ABSTRACT

Removal of a permanently cemented crown or fixed partial denture is a cumbersome procedure for a prosthodontist, especially when there is no purchase point available to remove it. The technique described in this article consists of sectioning of a crown on facial surface followed by removal of the crown with orthodontic plier. This technique does not damage the gingival/periodontal tissues or underlying tooth structure as the crown need not to be removed with jerky back-action force.

ABSTRACT

This in vitro study compared different ultrasonic vibration modes for intraradicular cast post removal. The crowns of 24 maxillary canines were removed, the roots were embedded in acrylic resin blocks, and the canals were treated endodontically. The post holes were prepared and root canal impressions were taken with self-cured resin acrylic. After casting, the posts were cemented with zinc phosphate cement. The samples were randomly distributed into 3 groups (n=8): G1: no ultrasonic vibration (control); G2: tip of the ultrasonic device positioned perpendicularly to core surface and close to the incisal edge; and G3: tip of the ultrasonic device positioned perpendicularly to core surface at cervical region, close to the line of cementation. An Enac OE-5 ultrasound unit with an ST-09 tip was used. All samples were submitted to the tensile test using an universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc tests (α=0.05). Mean values of the load to dislodge the posts (MPa) were: G1 = 4.6 (± 1.4) A; G2 = 2.8 (± 0.9) B, and G3= 0.9 (± 0.3) C. Therefore, the ultrasonic vibration applied with the tip of device close to the core's cervical area showed higher ability to reduce the retention of cast post to root canal.


Este estudo in vitro comparou diferentes modos de vibração ultra-sônica na remoção de pinos intra-radiculares fundidos. As coroas de 24 caninos superiores foram removidas, as raízes foram incluídas em blocos de resina acrílica e tratadas endodonticamente. Os espaços para os pinos intra-radiculares foram preparados e depois moldados com resina acrílica autopolimerizável. Após a fundição, os pinos intra-radiculares foram cimentados com cimento de fosfato de zinco. As amostras foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em três grupos (n=8): G1: sem vibração ultra-sônica (controle), G2: ponta do aparelho ultra-sônico posicionada perpendicularmente à superfície do núcleo e perto da borda incisal e G3: ponta do aparelho ultra-sônico posicionada perpendicularmente à superfície do núcleo na região cervical, perto da linha de cimentação. Uma unidade de ultra-som Enac OE-5 com uma ponta ST-09 foi usada. Todas as amostras foram submetidas ao teste de tração utilizando máquina universal de ensaios a uma velocidade de 1 mm/min. Os dados foram submetidos aos testes ANOVA e Tukey post-hoc (α = 0,05). Os valores médios de carga para deslocar os pinos (MPa) foram: G1 = 4,6 (± 1,4) A; G2 = 2,8 (± 0,9), B e G3 = 0,9 (± 0,3) C. Portanto, a vibração ultra-sônica aplicada com a ponta do dispositivo perto da zona cervical do núcleo apresentou maior capacidade de reduzir a retenção de pinos metálicos fundidos no canal radicular.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of manual and rotary instrumentation techniques for removing root fillings after different storage times. Twenty-four canals from palatal roots of human maxillary molars were instrumented and filled with gutta-percha and zinc-oxide eugenol-based sealer (Endofill) , and were stored in saline for 6 years. Non-aged control specimens were treated in the same manner and stored for 1 week. All canals were retreated using hand files or ProTaper Universal NiTi rotary system. Radiographs were taken to determine the amount of remaining material in the canals. The roots were vertically split, the halves were examined with a clinical microscope and the obtained images were digitized. The images were evaluated with AutoCAD software and the percentage of residual material was calculated. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5 percent significance level. There was no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between the manual and rotary techniques for filling material removal regardless the ageing effect on endodontic sealers. When only the age of the filling material was analyzed microscopically, non-aged fillings that remained on the middle third of the canals presented a higher percentage of material remaining (p<0.05) compared to the aged sealers and to the other thirds of the roots. The apical third showed a higher percentage of residual filling material in both radiographic and microscopic analysis when compared to the other root thirds. In conclusion, all canals presented residual filling material after endodontic retreatment procedures. Microscopic analysis was more effective than radiographs for detection of residual filling material.


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade da instrumentação manual e rotatória na remoção de material obturador de canais radiculares de raízes palatinas de molares superiores humanos, em dois períodos de tempo. Vinte e quatro raízes foram instrumentadas e obturadas com guta-percha, cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol e armazenadas em solução salina durante 6 anos. Outras 24 raízes foram tratadas da mesma maneira e armazenadas por uma semana. Os canais radiculares foram retratados usando limas manuais ou instrumentos rotatórios do Sistema ProTaper Universal. Radiografias periapicais foram feitas para mensurar a quantidade de material remanescente. Posteriormente as raízes foram clivadas e imagens microscópicas obtidas a partir de um microscópio clínico operatório foram digitalizadas. As imagens foram avaliadas através do software Autocad 2004 e área de material obturador remanescente foi mensurada. A Análise da Variância (Two-way) e o Teste T demonstraram não haver diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre a técnica manual e rotatória na remoção de material obturador. O terço apical mostrou a maior percentagem de remanescentes de material obturador, na análise radiográfica e microscópica quando comparado com os outros terços radiculares. Todos os canais revelaram resíduos de material obturador após o retratamento endodôntico. A análise microscópica foi mais efetiva do que a radiográfica na detecção de remanescente de obturação do canal radicular.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the time required for removal of intraradicular cast posts cemented with zinc phosphate (ZF) or glass ionomer cement (GIC), using two Brazilian ultrasound devices (BUD). Seventy two human inferior premolars with single root canals were sectioned transversally at the cementoenamel junction. In each specimen, the root canal was endodontically treated, the post space was prepared to a depth of 9 mm and the canal was molded to obtain a post impression. After the casting procedures, the posts were randomly distributed into 2 groups (n = 36) according to the luting material used: G1 - ZF and G2 - GIC. The tooth and luted post set was then embedded in an acrylic resin block. The groups were then divided into 3 subgroups (n = 12) according to the ultrasound device used: A - Enac (Osada Electric, Japan), used as a control group; B - Profi II Ceramic (Dabi Atlante, Brazil) and C - Jet Sonic Satelec (Gnatus, Brazil). The posts were submitted to the vibration process with maximum power set on all surrounding surfaces. Time of application was recorded with a chronometer until complete post dislodgment, and the data were analyzed by the ANOVA test (p < 0.05). The averages required for post removal in G1 and G2 were respectively 41.42 and 92.03 seconds, with significant statistical difference (p = 0.001). No statistical difference was observed among the three ultrasound devices (p = 0.088), and the BUD presented a performance similar to that of the international gold standard device (Enac). Moreover, the type of luting agent had a greater influence on the time required for post removal than the origin of the ultrasonic unit.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the efficiency of different techniques for removal of filling material from root canals, using computed tomography (CT). Sixty mesial roots from extracted human mandibular molars were used. Root canals were filled and, after 6 months, the teeth were randomly assigned to 3 groups, according to the root-filling removal technique: Group A - hand instrumentation with K-type files; Group B - reciprocating instrumentation with engine-driven K-type files; and Group C rotary instrumentation with engine-driven ProTaper system. CT scans were used to assess the volume of filling material inside the root canals before and after the removal procedure. In both moments, the area of filling material was outlined by an experienced radiologist and the volume of filling material was automatically calculated by the CT software program. Based on the volume of initial and residual filling material of each specimen, the percentage of filling material removed from the root canals by the different techniques was calculated. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and chi-square test for linear trend (?=0.05). No statistically significant difference (p=0.36) was found among the groups regarding the percent means of removed filling material. The analysis of the association between the percentage of filling material removal (high or low) and the proposed techniques by chi-square test showed statistically significant difference (p=0.015), as most cases in group B (reciprocating technique) presented less than 50 percent of filling material removed (low percent removal). In conclusion, none of the techniques evaluated in this study was effective in providing complete removal of filling material from the root canals.


O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de diferentes técnicas na remoção de material obturador dos canais radiculares, através da tomografia computadorizada (TC). Sessenta raízes mesiais de molares inferiores humanos extraídos foram utilizadas. Os canais radiculares foram obturados e, após 6 meses, os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 3 grupos, de acordo com a técnica de desobturação: Grupo A - instrumentação manual com limas tipo K; Grupo B - instrumentação oscilatória com limas tipo K acopladas a contra-ângulo NSK acionado por motor elétrico; e Grupo C - instrumentação rotatória com limas ProTaper associadas a contra-ângulo NSK acionado por motor elétrico. As imagens de TC foram feitas para avaliar o volume de material obturador encontrado no interior dos canais radiculares antes e após a desobturação. A região do material obturador foi demarcada nos dois momentos por um radiologista experiente e o volume foi calculado automaticamente pelo programa do TC. A partir do volume de material obturador inicial e remanescente de cada espécime o cálculo da porcentagem de material obturador removido. Os dados foram analisados pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e pelo teste qui-quadrado (?=0,05). A comparação das médias das porcentagens de material obturador removido não demonstrou diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,36) entre os grupos. Analisando a associação do percentual de material obturador removido (baixo ou alto) com as diferentes técnicas de desobturação, através do teste Qui-quadrado, encontrou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,015), com maior número de casos com menos de 50 por cento de seu material obturador removido (baixa remoção) no Grupo B. Em conclusão, nenhuma das técnicas estudadas foi capaz de remover completamente o material obturador do interior dos canais radiculares.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho apresenta um instrumento de pequenas proporçöes e fácil manuseio, desenvolvido com a utilizaçäo de quatro tensiômetros elétricos de resistência (Strain Gauge), colados ao braço ativo de um alicate para descolagem de braquetes (3M/Unitek), uma balança digital e filamentos de aço unindo o conjunto (balanças - alicate/tensiômetro), o qual possibilita medir a força de descolagem de braquetes em pacientes que estäo submetidos à influência direta da temperatura, umidade e flora bucal, fatores estes que interferem diretamente na força necessária para que ocorra a descolagem de acessórios ortodônticos. O desenvolvimento de instrumental apropriado destina-se a medir a força de adesäo de diferentes materiais de colagem utilizados em Ortodontia, de maneira fácil e prática, evitando-se que os resultados deste estudo sejam obtidos somente in vitro, o que muitas vezes difere das condiçöes clínicas. Foi comprovada a fidelidade do instrumental, realizando-se mediçöes de pesos de 50 g, 200 g, 250 g, 500 g, 750 g e 1000 g, verificando-se que, com exceçäo do teste realizado com o peso de 50 g, os demais mostraram resultados positivos
