Envejecimiento dental prematuro en deportistas / Premature dental aging in athletes

El desgaste natural de los dientes ocurre dependiendo de factores como: calidad de la estructura dental, calidad de la saliva, biotipo facial que determina la fuerza de mordida; de acuerdo a estos factores locales bucales se va envejeciendo la dentadura. Pero los deportistas presentan un patrón de desgaste mayor y continuo debido al tipo de deporte que practican, las horas de entrenamiento, el consumo de bebidas con pH ácido, el cepillado dental vigoroso; todos estos factores pueden conducirlos a que desarrollen lesiones no cariosas (AU)

The natural wear of the teeth occurs depending on factors such as: quality of the dental structure, quality of the saliva, facial biotype that determines the bite force, according to these local oral factors, the teeth age. But in athletes they present a pattern of greater and continuous wear due to the type of sport they practice, the hours of training, the consumption of drinks with an acidic pH, vigorous tooth brushing; all these factors can lead them to develop non-carious lesions (AU)

X-Ray Microtomography Analysis of Gaps and Voids in the Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions with Different Composite Resins

Context (Background): Resin composites are the most widely used material for restoring cervical defects. However, the high failure rate of these restorations is still a concern. Aims: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate, using microtomography (?CT), the interfacial gap and voids formation in Class V cavities in premolars restored with materials with lower polymerization shrinkage combined with different restorative techniques. Settings and Design: Cervical defects were created in 30 intact premolar and were randomly distributed to be restored by one of the following techniques (n = 6): Composite resin with two increments (CR), organic modified polymer (ORMOCER) with single (OR1) or two increments (OR2, or low viscosity bulk?fill composite resin with single (BF1) or two increments (BF2). Methods and Material: Each tooth was scanned before filling to determine the volume of interest (VOI) to be applied in the second ?CT after restoration and to control the cavity volume among the groups. In the ?CT after filling, the volume of interfacial gaps and voids was calculated for each group. Statistical Analysis: The groups were compared using one?way and Tukey HSD post hoc test (? = 0.05). Results: It was possible to identify higher gap formation in the OR1 group and higher void formation in CR group (P < 0.05). OR2 group showed better results than the group with one increment. BF2 showed the best filling capacity. Conclusions: It was possible to conclude that the material and the number of increments directly influenced the internal adaptation and voids formation of Class V restorations.

Clinical Effectiveness of Composite Resin Bonded with Universal Adhesive for the Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions Using Air Abrasion: A Randomised Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT @#Restorative treatment is very challenging for non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) due to functional and structural complexities. The purpose of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the clinical performance of nanocomposite restorations bonded using universal adhesive in self-etch mode with and without air abrasive surface treatment for NCCLs. A total of 70 NCCLs, from a group of consenting patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were recruited for the study. The study was carried out following CONSORT guidelines. Block randomisation was done for equal allocation of lesions into; Group 1 (surface treatment with alumina air abrasion) and Group 2 (control group without mechanical surface treatment). The lesions were restored with nanocomposite using a universal bonding agent in self-etch mode. The clinical performance of the restorations was evaluated by two examiners using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. A Chi-square test was performed for inter-group comparison. Cochran’s Q test and Dunn’s post hoc analysis were used for intra-group comparison. The inter-group comparison revealed no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group for all the parameters assessed. With the intra-group analysis, it was found that there was a significant decrease in the performance of the restorations concerning marginal staining, marginal adaptation and surface texture during the evaluation period (p < 0.05). However, all of them demonstrated clinically acceptable performance. According to the results of this RCT, it was concluded that airborne particle abrasion of NCCLs did not improve the clinical performance of nanocomposite resin bonded using universal adhesive.

The Shofu Beautifil II showed the best results in fracture resistance, flexural strength and excellent aesthetics, it has anticariogenic potential, anti-plaque bacteria and contributes to the oral pH balance. The Clearfil SE Bond adhesive showed the highest retention rate among its competitors.

Relationship between presence of abfractions and premature contacts

ABSTRACT: Abfractions (AFs) are non-carious cervical lesions considered of multifactorial etiology by several authors. Objective: Relate the presence of premature contacts and AFs. Materials & Methods: The original number of students to be analyzed were 117, 36 of whom (equal amount of women and men) were finally chosen for presenting premature contacts. 19 of them presented abfractions. A survey was conducted with questions on issues like toothbrushing habits, diet and some gastric disorders; besides the participants had to take the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Then, stone models were obtained and mounted for further occlusal analysis with WCM ® semi-adjustable articulator searching the abfractions and their coincidence with premature contacts. Fisher's exact test (p<0,05) was used to associate AF with toothbrushing habits, diet, burning symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux. Chi-square test (p<0,05) was used to associate AFs and premature contacts. Student's t-distribution was used to associate AFs with anxiety. Results: There was a significant relationship between AFs presence and premature contacts (p=0,00). There was not a significant relationship between presence of AFs and toothbrushing habits and diet. There was not a significant relationship between presence of AFs and anxiety. Conclusions: AF presence do associate with premature contacts in the same affected tooth.

Three-year evaluation of different adhesion strategies in non-carious cervical lesion restorations: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) restored with different adhesion strategies. Methodology: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, split-mouth study. An adhesive restorative system (Single Bond Universal/Filtek Z350XT - SBU) was evaluated both without and with selective enamel conditioning (E-SBU), resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (Vitremer; RMGIC), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid pretreatment (EDTA; E-RMGIC). In total, 200 restorations, placed in 50 patients, were evaluated at baseline and at a 3-year follow-up using the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Data were analyzed using the two-proportion equality test, multinomial logistic regression, Wilcoxon test, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results: In total, 42 (84%) patients returned for the 3-year follow-up. SBU showed restoration losses statistically different from RMGIC. Retention was also statistically different in SBU between baseline and the 3-year follow-up. Marginal defects and surface texture were statistically significant for all groups in the period studied, except for the surface texture of SBU and the marginal integrity in E-RMGIC. We observed no statistically significant difference in wear, secondary caries, anatomical form, surface staining, and color over time. Recession degree was the only factor to influence retention rates. Cumulative survival (%) was 89, 98, 98, and 95.3, for SBU, SE-SBU, RMGIC, and E-RMGIC, respectively, without significant differences among them. There was a statistically significant difference between survival curves; however, multiple comparison procedures found no statistical differences. Conclusion: Selective enamel etching affected the retention of non-carious cervical restorations. Adhesion using EDTA and resin-modified glass-ionomer cements delayed marginal defects over time. The degree of gingival recession influenced retention rates. Resin composite restorations showed initial marginal defects, and ionomer restorations, reduced surface luster. EDTA pre-treatment followed by resin-modified glass-ionomer cements may be a promising adhesion strategy for NCCL restorations.

One-year evaluation of a new restorative glass ionomer cement for the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions in patients with systemic diseases: a randomized, clinical trial

Abstract Objective This randomized and clinical trial aimed to evaluate the performance of a new restorative Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) for the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) of patients with systemic diseases compared with a posterior resin composite after 12 months. Methodology 134 restorations were placed at 30 patients presenting systemic diseases by a single clinician. NCCLs were allocated to two groups according to restorative system used: a conventional restorative GIC [Fuji Bulk (GC, Tokyo Japan) (FB)] and a posterior resin composite [G-ænial Posterior (GC, Tokyo Japan) (GP)] used with a universal adhesive using etch&rinse mode. All restorative procedures were conducted according to manufacturer's instructions. Restorations were scored regarding retention, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface texture, and post-operative sensitivity using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria after 1 week (baseline), 6, and 12 months. Descriptive statistics were performed using chi-square tests. Cochran Q and Mc Nemar's tests were used to detect differences over time. Results After 12 months, recall rate was 93% and the rates of cumulative retention failure for FB and GP were 4.9% and 1.6% respectively. Both groups presented similar alpha rates for marginal adaptation (FB 86.2%, GP 95.5%) and marginal discoloration (FB 93.8%, GP 97%) at 6-month recall, but FB restorations showed higher bravo scores than GP restorations for marginal adaptation and marginal discoloration after 12 months (p<0.05). Regarding surface texture, 2 FB restorations (3.1%) were scored as bravo after 6 months. All restorations were scored as alpha for secondary caries and postoperative sensitivity after 12 months. Conclusion Although the posterior resin composite demonstrated clinically higher alpha scores than the conventional GIC for marginal adaptation and discoloration, both materials successfully restored NCCLs at patients with systematic disease after a year. Clinical relevance Due to its acceptable clinical results, the tested conventional restorative GIC can be used for the restoration of NCCLs of patients with systemic diseases.

Influence of the shape, materials and occlusal mode of the maxillary first premolars on stress in noncarious cervical lesions / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#To study the stress distribution in noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) of maxillary first premolars under the conditions of different defect shapes, restorative materials and loading directions and to analyze the effect of different conditions on the treatment of NCCLs.@*Methods @#Three-dimensional finite element models of cervical defects of the maxillary first premolar were established by oral CBCT in a healthy adult. According to the shape of the cavity bottom, the cavity was divided into two groups: acute angle and obtuse angle. In addition to healthy dental controls, defects in each group were simulated and virtually treated with three kinds of restorative materials (glass ionomer cement, Z350 resin and bulk resin) as research objects. Four kinds of loads (normal occlusal vertical load, normal occlusal lateral load, traumatic occlusal vertical and lateral load) were applied. The lateral load of occlusion was 100 N, and the stress distribution in the prosthesis was analyzed.@*Results @#Under the condition with different cavity types that the NCCL near the pulp line was sharp, the stress in the wedge-shaped defect repair material was concentrated and significantly higher than that in the other obtuse groups. Under the condition with different repair materials, in the bottom of the acute cavity, the glass ionomer cement showed less stress than the two kinds of resin. The maximum stress in the prosthetic material in the traumatic occlusion state was significantly higher than that in the normal occlusion state, and the lateral load was more concentrated than the vertical load on the neck defect.@*Conclusion @#The stress in maxillary first premolar NCCLs is affected by the shape of the cavity and the loading direction. A simulated acute cavity morphology and traumatic force mode produced concentrated stress in the material used to repair the NCCL. Before restoration, the bottom of an acute cavity should be adjusted to an obtuse angle. After treatment, the bite of the affected tooth adjusts over time to reduce traumatic occlusion, which is beneficial for improving the service life of the filling material.

Modified tunnel technique applied in the treatment of gingival recessions with non-carious cervical lesion / 华西口腔医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to investigate the clinical effect of modified tunnel technique (MTUN) in the treatment of gingival recession with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL).@*METHODS@#Forty-two teeth with Miller I degree gingival recession were divided into the NCCL group or control group depending on whether NCCL was present. Both groups were treated with MTUN plus subepithelial connective tissue. The periodontal probing depth (PD), gingival recession height (GRH), gingival recession width (GRW), attached gingival width (AGW), and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were recorded before and at 3 and 6 months after operation. The mean root coverage (MRC) at 6 months after operation was calculated and analyzed. A root coverage esthetic scoring system was used to record aesthetic scores.@*RESULTS@#GRH, GRW, and CAL of the two groups after surgery were significantly lower than those before surgery, and no significant changes in PD and AGW were observed. The MRC in the NCCL group was 63.40%±28.02%, whereas that in the control group was 67.00%±21.72%; no significant difference between the two groups was found. In terms of aesthetic outcomes, no significant difference between groups was reported.@*CONCLUSIONS@#MTUN can effectively improve gingival recession, and the presence of shallow NCCL (≤1 mm) will not affect the surgical effect of MTUN.

Effect of age-related alterations on the biomechanics of teeth affected by non-carious cervical lesions / Efeito de alterações relacionadas à idade na biomecânica de dentes afetados por lesões cervicais não-cariosas

Objective: The prevalence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) has increased in the recent years, especially in the elderly population. The successful prevention and treatment of those lesions requires an understanding of the biomechanics of aged teeth. Considering the importance of such aspect, the impact of the age-related dentin deposition on the stress distribution of NCCLs was evaluated by means of finite element analysis. Material and Methods: A 2-dimensional model of a sound maxillary first premolar was created using CAD software. Two tooth geometries (sound, aged) and two lesion shapes (wedge, saucer) were simulated to the model. The mesh was built with 35,000 triangle and square elements of 0.1 mm in length. All tissues were considered isotropic, homogeneous and linear. Occlusal surfaces were loaded with 300 N for simulating normal chewing forces. The stress distribution was analyzed by a color scale and by the maximum principal stress at the cavosurface line angle. Results: The aged models presented lower stress concentration in the overall system in comparison to sound models. The sharp angle of wedge shaped lesions promoted higher stress concentration at the center of cavosurface angle, favoring the lesions progression. Conclusion: Considering the limitations of the current methodology, it is possible to conclude that aged tooth is a more compact structure that can better respond to stress loadings. This protective intrinsic mechanism should be considered when adopting preventive and restorative measures for NCCLs for the elderly. (AU)

Objetivo: A prevalência de lesões cervicais nãocariosas (NCCLs) tem aumentado nos últimos anos, especialmente em idosos. A prevenção e o tratamento bem-sucedidos dessas lesões requerem um entendimento da biomecânica dos dentes envelhecidos. Considerando a importância de tal aspecto, o impacto da deposição de dentina que ocorre com a idade na distribuição de estresse de NCCLs foi avaliado por meio da análise de elementos finitos. Material e Métodos: Um modelo bidimensional de um primeiro pré-molar superior foi criado usando o software CAD. Duas geometrias de dentes (padrão, envelhecido) e duas formas de lesão (cunha, pires) foram simuladas ao modelo. A malha foi construída com 35.000 elementos triangulares e quadrados de 0,1 mm de comprimento. Todos os tecidos foram considerados isotrópicos, homogêneos e lineares. Superfícies oclusais foram carregadas com 300 N para simular forças normais de mastigação. A distribuição das tensões foi analisada por uma escala de cores e pela tensão principal no ângulo da linha cavo-superficial. Resultados: Os modelos envelhecidos apresentaram menor concentração de tensão no sistema geral em comparação aos modelos padrão. O ângulo agudo das lesões em cunha promoveu maior concentração de tensão no centro do ângulo cavo-superficial, favorecendo a progressão das lesões. Conclusão: Considerando as limitações da metodologia atual, é possível concluir que o dente envelhecido é uma estrutura mais compacta que pode responder melhor às cargas de estresse. Este mecanismo intrínseco de proteção deve ser considerado ao adotar medidas preventivas e restaurativas para as NCCLs em idosos. (AU)

Lesiones dentales no cariosas en pacientes atendidos en la Clínica Estomatológica Siboney / Non-carious dental lesions in patients treated at the Siboney Stomatology Clinic

Introducción: El desgaste dental es un proceso insidioso y acumulativo que lleva a la destrucción del esmalte y la dentina; conocido como lesiones dentales no cariosas y son: Atrición, Abrasión, Abfracción y Erosión. En Cuba estas lesiones han sido poco estudiadas. Objetivo: Identificar las lesiones dentales no cariosas y sus formas clínicas en pacientes atendidos en la Clínica Estomatológica Siboney. Métodos: Se estudiaron 876 pacientes escogidos al azar de la población que fue atendida durante un período de 10 meses en dicha clínica estomatológica. A los mismos se les realizó un examen estomatológico para determinar si eran portadores o no de tales lesiones y cuál o cuáles variedades de las mismas presentaban. Resultados: Se comprobó que 102 de los 876 pacientes examinados eran portadores de lesiones dentales no cariosas para un 11,43 por ciento; de los cuales el 42,15 por ciento presentaron un solo tipo de lesión; 50 pacientes mostraron dos tipos de lesiones, para un 49,01 por ciento, en todas las combinaciones posibles, siendo la combinación más frecuente Atrición y Abfracción seguida por la Atrición y la Abrasión. Por último, nueve pacientes presentaron tres tipos de lesiones, para un 8,82 por ciento; en este caso la combinación más frecuente fue Atrición, Abfracción y Erosión. Conclusiones: El porcentaje de pacientes con lesiones dentales no cariosas fue relativamente elevado; pudiendo presentarse una lesión aislada o combinaciones de dos o tres; siendo las formas clínicas más frecuentes: Abfracción, en el caso de una lesión; Atrición y Abfracción en el de dos y Atrición, Abrasión y Erosión, en el de tres(AU)

Introduction: Dental wear is an insidious and cumulative process that leads to the destruction of enamel and dentin; Known as non-carious dental injuries and are: Attrition, Abrasion, Abrasion and Erosion. In Cuba these injuries have been little studied. Objective: To identify non-carious dental lesions and their clinical forms in patients treated at the Siboney Stomatology Clinic. Methods: We studied 876 patients chosen at random from the population that was attended during a period of 10 months in said stomatological clinic. They underwent a stomatological examination to determine if they were carriers or not of such injuries and which one or which varieties of them they presented. Results: It was verified that 102 of the 876 patients examined were carriers of non-carious dental lesions for 11.43 percent; of which 42.15 percent presented a single type of injury; 50 patients showed two types of injuries, for 49.01 percent, in all possible combinations, with the most frequent combination being Attrition and Abfraction followed by Attrition and Abrasion. Finally, nine patients presented three types of injuries, for 8.82 percent; in this case the most frequent combination was Attrition, Abrasion and Erosion. Conclusions: The percentage of patients with non-carious dental lesions was relatively high; being able to present an isolated lesion or combinations of two or three; the most frequent clinical forms being: Abfraction, in the case of an injury; Attrition and Abrasion in the two and Attrition, Abrasion and Erosion, in the three(AU)

Comparison of the clinical effect of the adhesive strategies of universal adhesives in the treatment of non-carious cervical lesions: systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective: to compare, through a systematic review and a meta-analysis, the clinical effect of the adhesive strategies of universal adhesives (UA) in the treatment of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). material and method: a search of the literature was carried out up to january 2018, in the biomedical databases: Pubmed, Embase, Scielo, Science Direct, SIGLE, LILACS, BBO, Google Scholar and the Central Register of Cochrane Clinical Trials. the selection criteria of the studies were as: randomized clinical trials, with a maximum age of 5 years and which report the clinical effects (marginal adaptation, discoloration or marginal staining, presence of secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, retention and fractures) of the UA in the treatment of NCCLs. the risk of study bias was analyzed through the Cochrane Handbook of systematic reviews of interventions. results: the search strategy resulted in eight articles that reported no difference in marginal adaptation, discoloration or marginal staining, presence of secondary caries and postoperative sensitivity among the adhesive strategies of the UA; however they reported a difference between the retention and the presence of fractures, with the conventional adhesive strategy resulting in a better clinical effect. conclusion: the reviewed literature suggests that the conventional adhesive strategy of UAs results in greater retention and absence of fractures in the treatment of NCCLs.
