The results showed that the groups presented statistical difference between them, however they presented alkalinity during the evaluated period of 24, 48, 72 hours, 7 and 14 days. It was concluded that the solutions associated with the different medications showed alkaline pH, presenting a difference between the groups evaluated at 3, 24, 72 hours, 7 and 14 days, however they showed satisfactory results and could be used in endodontics(AU)

Ph externo de dentes bovinos com pasta de hidróxido de cálcio / External pH of bovine teeth using hydroxide paste

The aim of this study was to evaluate the external pH root of bovine teeth, using calcium hydroxide paste (Ultracal XS Ultradent) and (CALEN-SS WHITE) as intra canal medication. Thus ten bovine teeth (n=10/group) were used and they had their apex sealed with composite resine. These teeth had four perforations of 2 mm depth which were made with spherical tip diamond number 1014 in each of them. The chemical-mechanical preparation was made manually with limes type K up to #80. The canal system irrigation had sodium hypochlorite 4% during the instrumentation plus EDTA 17% under agitation with ultrasound (Profi II ceramic Dabi Atlante) during 20 seconds, three times, totalizing one minute. Subsequently the canals were filled with the intra canal medication (Ultracal XS Ultradent) and (CALEN-SS WHITE). The dental crowns were sealing with Bioplic. Immediately, every tooth was placed in ependorfs containing miliQ water. After that, the external pH was measured with pH tape ribbon Merck trademark (pH 0-14) and it was made every 24 hours for 21 days. The results of this experiment showed that the dressing used could not alcalinize the dentin in its outer surface once the modulator, Milli-Q water, had a little change. Concluding, the calcium hydroxide paste inside the root bovine tooth could promoted a small change in the external environment, which was represented by Milli-Q water(AU)

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o pH externo radicular de dentes bovinos, utilizando pasta de hidróxido de cálcio (Ultracal XS Ultradent) e (Calen ­ SS WHITE), como medicação intracanal. Foram utilizados 10 dentes bovinos (n=10/grupo), selados no ápice com resina composta e com quatro perfurações de 2 mm de profundidade realizadas com uma ponta diamantada esférica n°1014 em cada corpo de prova. O preparo químico mecânico foi feito manualmente com limas tipo Kerr até a lima #80. A irrigação dos canais foi feita com hipoclorito de sódio a 4% durante a instrumentação e EDTA 17% sob agitação com ultrassom (Profi II ceramic Dabi Atlante) durante 20 segundos, três vezes, totalizando um minuto. Posteriormente os canais radiculares foram preenchidos com a medicação intracanal (Ultracal XS Ultradent) e com (Calen ­ SS WHITE) e o selamento coronário com bioplic. Imediatamente após, cada dente foi colocado em eppendorfs contendo água miliquezada, logo o pH externo radicular foi medido com a fita de pH da marca Merck (pH 0-14), de 24 em 24 horas durante 21 dias. Os resultados obtidos neste experimento mostraram que a medicação intracanal não conseguiu alcalinizar a massa dentinária em sua superfície externa já que o modulador, água Milli-Q, alterou-se pouco, concluindo-se que a pasta de hidróxido de cálcio no interior do canal radicular de dente bovino promoveu pequena alteração no meio externo representado pela água Mili-Q(AU)

Effect of passive ultrasonic agitation during final irrigation on cleaning capacity of hybrid instrumentation

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of passive ultrasonic agitation on the cleaning capacity of a hybrid instrumentation technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty mandibular incisors with mesiodistal-flattened root shape had their crowns sectioned at 1 mm from the cementoenamel junction. Instrumentation was initiated by catheterization with K-type files (Denstply Maillefer) #10, #15, and #20 at 3 mm from the working length. Cervical preparation was performed with Largo bur #1 (Dentsply Maillefer) followed by apical instrumentation with K-type files #15, #20 and #25, and finishing with ProTaper F2 file (Denstply Maillefer). All files were used up to the working length under irrigation with 1 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (Biodynamica) at each instrument change. At the end of instrumentation, the roots were randomly separated into 2 groups (n = 10). All specimens received final irrigation with 1 mL of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. The solution remained in the root canals in Group 1 for one minute; and ultrasonic agitation was performed in Group 2 for one minute using a straight tip inserted at 1 mm from working length. The specimens were processed histologically and the sections were analyzed under optic microscope (x64) to quantify debris present in the root canal. RESULTS: The samples submitted to ultrasonic agitation (Group 2) presented significant decrease in the amount of debris in comparison with those of Group 1 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The hybrid instrumentation technique associated with passive ultrasonic agitation promoted greater debris removal in the apical third of the root canals.

Efetividade in situ do Chlor-Xtra® na dissolução do tecido pulpar em canais radiculares ovais / Sodium hypoucorite with reduced surface tension does not improve insire pulp dissolution

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a dissolução do tecido pulpar pelo NaOCl contendo em sua composição agentes redutores da tensão superfical (Chlor-Xtra®) quando comparados ao NaOCl convencional. Com esta finalidade 44 dentes unirradiculares humanos com tecido pulpar preservado em solução de formol a 10% foram agrupados em 22 pares de acordo com a semelhança de sua anatomia interna previamente avaliada por radiografias. Os canais foram instrumentados com sistema Protaper Universal® e todo o processo de irrigação teve, além do tempo, seu volume e fluxo controlado por meio automatizado por meio do sistema Vatea® Endodontic Iirrigation Device. Após cada canal que compunha um par ter sido instrumentado empregando-se uma das diferentes soluções testadas, as quais foram previamente avaliadas quanto a sua tensão superficial, ambos foram devidamente preparados e enviados para processamento e análise histológica. Cortes a 0,5, 1,2,3 e 4mm do ápice foram realizados, corados e fotografados. As imagens foram analisadas por meio do programa AxioVision® a fim de estabelecer o percentual de tecido remanescente em relação à área total do canal nos segmentos estudados. As análises referentes a tensão superficial revelaram que o Chlor-Xtra® demonstrou possuir significativamente menor tensão superficial quando comparado ao NaOCL convencional (p>0,05). A análise estatística por meio do test T student das áreas dos canais, demonstrou que o pareamento das amostras foi eficiente entre os grupo NaOCl e Chlor-Xtra® (p>0,05). Em relação ao Percentual de Tecido Remanescente (PTR), os resultados revelaram por meio de análise feita pelo teste Kruskal-Wallis e o teste de correlação de Spearman que o nível de corte influencia significantemente o PTR (P<0,05).Por fim, o teste de Mann-Whitney indicou que o PTR não é influenciado pela solução irrigadora utilizada (P>0,05). A partir da análise dos ...

Sodium hypochlorite solutions with added wetting agents are advertised to dissolve necrotic tissue in root canals faster than counterparts without lowered surface tension. This was tested in the current study using extracted, single-rooted teeth with oval canals that contained pulp tissue. Formerly vital extracted teeth (N = 44) with similar anatomy were radiographically paired and chemomechanically prepared. In one tooth, a 5.25% NaOCl solution with reduced surface tension was used, in the other a pure, technical-grade NaOCl solution of 5.25%. Percentage of remaining pulp tissue (PRPT) was histologically assessed in root cross-sections. The non-Gaussian raw data was subjected to Kruskal-Walis and Mann-Whitney U tests to verify the respective effect of level of cross-section and solution on the PRPT.The relationship between level of cross-section and PRPT was estimated by Spearman correlation test. Alpha-type error was set at 5%. The level of section significantly influenced the PRPT (P<0.05), whereas the PRPT was not influenced by the solution used (P>0.05). A significant inverse correlation was found between the level of section and PRPT (P<0.05, r = -0.330). The lower the distance to the apex, the higher the PRPT, regardless of the solution used.Contrary to the advertised statement, the dental solution with reduced surface tension did not dissolve vital pulp tissue in oval root canals any better than a conventional NaOCl solution of similar strength. Closer to the apex, pulp tissue dissolution is less efficient, irrespective of the solution.

Bonding to wet or dry deproteinized dentin: micro tensile bond strength and confocal laser micromorphology analysis

Aim: To investigate the influence of deproteinization and moisture condition (wet vs. dry) on the bond strength and micromorphology of resin-dentin bonding interfaces. Methods: Dentin surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid for 15 s and rinsed with water. Four groups (n = 10) were tested: WET: dentin was left visibly moist; DRY: dentin was dried with compressed air; WET-D: dentin was deproteinized for 60 s using 10% NaOCl solution and left moist; DRY-D: dentin was deproteinized and dried. Prime&Bond 2.1 adhesive was applied and the teeth were restored with composite resin. Microtensile test was carried out after 24 h, and failure modes classified under magnification. Data were subjected to two-way ANOVAand Tukey’s test (P < 0.05). The bonding micromorphology was analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results: The group DRY showed significantly lower bond strength (P < 0.05) than the other groups, which were similar to each other (P > 0.05). Adhesive failures were predominant. Analysis of micromorphology showed formation of a collagen-resin hybrid layer only for the non-deproteinizedgroups. Adhesive penetration into the dentinal tubules was deeper for the DRY-D compared to the WETD group. Conclusion: The bond strength was not dependent on the moisture condition and a more homogeneous hybridization was obtained when dentin was deproteinized.
