ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the irradiance of curing units through core and veneered hot-pressed ceramics as well as the transmittance of these materials. Discs of 0.7, 1.4 and 2 mm in thickness of Empress (EMP) and Empress Esthetic (EST), and 0.8 (n=5) and 1.1 mm (n=5) thickness of Empress 2 (E2) were obtained. For E2, two of the 0.8-mm-thick discs were covered with dentin (1.2- and 1.4-mm-thick) and two with dentin + enamel (1.5-mm-thick). The 1.1-mm-thick specimens were submitted to the same veneering procedures. Specimens were evaluated by UV-Vis transmittance analysis and the percentage of transmittance was recorded. Irradiance through each specimen was evaluated with a quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH), used in continuous or intermittent exposure modes, or a blue light-emitting diode (LED). Data were analyzed by Dunnett's test, ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5 percent significance level. Exposure through ceramic decreased the irradiance for all ceramics. Irradiance through EST was significantly higher than through EMP. For E2, reduction in irradiance depended on the core and/or veneer thickness. The QTH intermittent mode showed higher irradiance than the continuous mode, and both showed higher irradiance than LED. The ceramic significantly influenced irradiance and transmittance, which were found to decrease with the increase in thickness.
RESUMO
Este estudo avaliou a irradiância de unidades de fotoativação através de cerâmicas para subestrutura com e sem cobertura, e a transmitância desses materiais. Discos de 0,7, 1,4 e 2 mm de espessura de Empress (EMP) e Empress Esthetic (EST), e de 0,8 (n=5) e 1,1 mm (n=5) de espessura de Empress 2 (E2) foram obtidos. Para E2, dois discos de 0,8 mm foram cobertos com dentina (1,2 e 1,4 mm de espessura) e dois com dentina + esmalte (1,5 mm de espessura). Os discos de 1,1 mm de espessura foram submetidos aos mesmos procedimentos de cobertura. Os espécimes foram avaliados por análise de transmitância UV-Vis e o percentual de transmitância foi registrado. A irradiância através dos discos foi avaliada com fonte de luz de lâmpada halógena de quartzo-tungstênio (QTH), utilizada nos modos contínuo ou intermitente, e diodo emissor de luz (LED). Os dados foram analisados com testes de Dunnett, ANOVA e Tukey com nível de significância de 5 por cento. A exposição através da cerâmica reduziu a irradiância para todas as cerâmicas. A irradiância através de EST foi maior que EMP. Para E2, a redução dependeu da espessura da subestrutura e/ou cobertura. O modo intermitente para QTH mostrou maior irradiância que o modo contínuo; ambos apresentaram maior irradiância que o LED. A cerâmica influenciou significativamente a irradiância e transmitância, que diminuíram com o aumento da espessura.
