Influence of thickness and aging on the mechanical properties of provisional resin materials.

This study aimed to evaluate the flexural strength (FS) and modulus of elasticity (ME) of 2 provisional resins at different thicknesses and after different storage periods. A total of 80 specimens were made of 2 provisional restorative materials (n = 40): Dencôr (DC) or Protemp 4 (PT). The specimens in each material group were prepared in 2 different thicknesses (n = 20): 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm. The groups were further subdivided by storage time (n = 10 per material thickness per time): 7 days or 3 months. A 3-point bending test was performed with a universal testing machine. Data were submitted to 3-way analysis of variance followed by a post hoc Tukey test (α = 0.05). Regarding the interaction of material and thickness, the 2.0-mm-thick DC specimens presented a significantly lower mean FS (41.08 MPa) than the other groups (P < 0.05). Regarding the interaction of material and storage time, PT after 3 months presented a significantly higher mean FS (75.51 MPa) than the other groups and periods (P < 0.05). Regardless of the material, the highest mean ME was found in the 1.5-mm-thick group after 3 months (2.24 GPa) (P < 0.05). The lowest ME values were found in the 2.0-mm-thick specimens after both storage times (7 days, 0.88 GPa; 3 months, 1.09 GPa), which were not significantly different from each other (P > 0.05). The correlation between FS and ME was direct and positive (R2 = 0.51; P < 0.001), independently of the variables (material, thickness, and time). Therefore, 2.0-mm-thick PT specimens presented the highest values of FS, mainly after 3 months. The ME was higher after 3 months (1.5-mm-thick specimens), regardless of the material. In addition, the higher the FS, the higher the ME of the material.

Roughness and stability of compound resin color exposed to bleaching strips after surface treatment / Rugosidade e estabilidade de cor após clareamento caseiro

ABSTRACT Objective to analyze the surface roughness and color stability of the composite resin after surface treatment with the aluminum oxide discs and subsequent exposure to the Advanced Teeth Whitening Strips. Methods 20 specimens of the Filtek Z350XT restorer (3M®) were prepared and daily subjected to home bleaching for 30 minutes during 14 days. A precision rugosimeter was used in order to verify the roughness by means of 3 random readings in the same direction in each sample. For color stability the CIELAB system (L*, a*, b* values) was used through the spectrophotometer (MINOLTA CR -321, Japan). The means of the test specimens as well as the mean of each group were calculated using the random readings. Data statistical analysis were performed by ANOVA- analysis of variance. The level of significance was set at 5% (p ≤ 0.05). Results Roughness did not present great numerical variations. No statistically significant difference between the means obtained concerning the surface roughness of the composite resin with p = 0.44 was observed. However, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the means obtained in relation to the color stability of the composite resin, p=0. 007. Conclusion It was concluded that pre-contoured strips containing 6% hydrogen peroxide do not have a significant adverse effect on the roughness of Z350XT (3M®) resin. However, it was also concluded that according to the color stability analysis performed, there may be an indication of the restoration replacement after the bleaching treatment, due to their color change.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a rugosidade superficial e a estabilidade da cor da resina composta após tratamento de superfície com os discos de óxido de alumínio e posterior exposição à fita clareadora Advanced Teeth Whitening Strips. Métodos Foram confeccionados 20 corpos de prova do restaurador universal Filtek Z350XT (3M®), estes, foram submetidos ao clareamento caseiro por 30 minutos diários durante 14 dias. Utilizou-se um rugosímetro de precisão para verificação da rugosidade através de 3 leituras aleatórias no mesmo sentido em cada amostra, e para estabilidade de cor foi utilizado o sistema CIELAB (valores L*, a*, b*), através do espectofotômetro (MINOLTA CR-321, Japão). As leituras coletadas possibilitaram o cálculo das médias dos corpos de prova e a média de cada grupo. Em seguida, os dados foram submetidos a tratamento estatístico pela análise de variância ANOVA. O nível de significância estabelecido foi de 5% (p≤0,05). Resultados a rugosidade não sofreu grandes variações numéricas e também não houve diferença estatisticamente significantes entre as médias obtidas em relação a rugosidade superficial da resina composta (p=0,44). Contudo, verificou-se que houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre as medias obtidas em relação à estabilidade de cor da resina composta, com p= 0,007. Conclusão As fitas pré-contornadas contendo peróxido de hidrogênio a 6% não provocam efeito adverso significantes sobre a rugosidade da resina Z350XT (3M®). Contudo, também concluímos que, de acordo com a análise de estabilidade de cor realizada, poderá haver indicação da substituição das restaurações após o tratamento clareador devido à alteração na coloração das mesmas.

Straight and offset implant placement under axial and nonaxial loads in implant-supported prostheses: strain gauge analysis.

PURPOSE: The aim of this in vitro study was to quantify strain development during axial and nonaxial loading using strain gauge analysis for three-element implant-supported FPDs, varying the arrangement of implants: straight line (L) and offset (O). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three Morse taper implants arranged in a straight line and three implants arranged in an offset configuration were inserted into two polyurethane blocks. Microunit abutments were screwed onto the implants, applying a 20 Ncm torque. Plastic copings were screwed onto the abutments, which received standard wax patterns cast in Co-Cr alloy (n = 10). Four strain gauges were bonded onto the surface of each block tangential to the implants. The occlusal screws of the superstructure were tightened onto microunit abutments using 10 Ncm and then axial and nonaxial loading of 30 Kg was applied for 10 seconds on the center of each implant and at 1 and 2 mm from the implants, totaling nine load application points. The microdeformations determined at the nine points were recorded by four strain gauges, and the same procedure was performed for all of the frameworks. Three loadings were made per load application point. The magnitude of microstrain on each strain gauge was recorded in units of microstrain (µÎµ). The data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: The configuration factor was statistically significant (p= 0.0004), but the load factor (p= 0.2420) and the interaction between the two factors were not significant (p= 0.5494). Tukey's test revealed differences between axial offset (µÎµ) (183.2 ± 93.64) and axial straight line (285.3 ± 61.04) and differences between nonaxial 1 mm offset (201.0 ± 50.24) and nonaxial 1 mm straight line (315.8 ± 59.28). CONCLUSION: There was evidence that offset placement is capable of reducing the strain around an implant. In addition, the type of loading, axial force or nonaxial, did not have an influence until 2 mm.

O objetivo neste trabalho foi avaliar, por meio da extensometria, a distribuição de tensões ao redor de implantes em função dos diferentes locais para carregamento e configuração (linear e compensada). Para tanto, em um bloco de poliuretano, foram posicionados paralelos entre si e com uma configuração linear, implantes autorrosqueáveis de hexágono externo, com dimensões de 3,75 mm x 13 mm, a uma distância de 7 mm, de centro a centro. Em outro bloco, a fixação do meio foi deslocada em 2 mm para gerar uma configuração compensada (offset). Pilares protéticos Micro-unit, com 3 mm de cinta, foram instalados sobre as fixações. Com duas matrizes em aço inoxidável foram confeccionados dez enceramentos para cada bloco (n = 10). A seguir, esses padrões foram fundidos com uma liga de Co-Cr. Quatro extensômetros (strain gauges) foram colados na superfície superior de cada bloco, tangenciando a plataforma de cada fixação. Um carregamento de 30 kg durante dez segundos foi feito em cinco posições (A, B, C, D, E), sendo repetido três vezes para aquisição dos dados (em µɛ) pelo aparelho condicionador de sinais. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a análise de variância (RM Anova) e teste de Tukey (p < 0,05). Como conclusão da análise dos resultados obtidos, pudemos observar que não houve diferença entre as configurações linear e compensada; havendo diferença estatisticamente significante para os locais de carregamento.

The aim of this study was to evaluate through strain gauge methods the load distribution around dental implants regarding different sites and configurations (linear and offset). Three cylindrical implants with external hexagon (3.75 mm x 13mm) connection were fixed parallel in a polyurethane model with 7 mm between their centers in a linear configuration. In another block, the middle implant was positioned 2 mm offset. After, micro-unit abutments (3 mm of metallic collar height) were tightened. Ten wax patterns were created for each block (n = 10) and cast in Cobalt-Chromium alloy. Four strain gauges were positioned on the upper surface of each polyurethane model around the implants. A 30 kg axial load was applied for 10 seconds in five positions (A, B, C, D, and E), with three repeated measurements for data aquisition (in µɛ) by the multichannel bridge machine. Data were submitted to Anova and Tukey´s test (p < 0.05). It was concluded that: 1) no difference was seen between the linear and offset configurations and 2) there was statistical significance for different loading sites

The influence of cutting speed and cutting initiation location in specimen preparation for the microtensile bond strength test.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect of cutting initiation location and cutting speed on the bond strength between resin cement and feldspathic ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six blocks (6.4 x 6.4 x 4.8 mm) of ceramic (Vita VM7) were produced. The ceramic surfaces were etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid gel for 60 s and then silanized. Each ceramic block was placed in a silicon mold with the treated surface exposed. A resin cement (Variolink II) was injected into the mold over the treated surface and polymerized. The resin cement-ceramic blocks were divided into two groups according to experimental conditions: a) cutting initiation location - resin cement, ceramic and interface; and b) cutting speed - 10,000, 15,000, and 20,000 rpm. The specimens were sectioned to achieve non-trimmed bar specimens. The microtensile test was performed in a universal testing machine (1 mm/min). The failure modes were examined using an optical light microscope and SEM. Bond strength results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Significant influences of cutting speed and initiation location on bond strength (p < 0.05) were observed. The highest mean was achieved for specimens cut at 15,000 rpm at the interface (15.12 ± 5.36 MPa). The lowest means were obtained for specimens cut at the highest cutting speed in resin cement (8.50 ± 3.27 MPa), and cut at the lowest cutting speed in ceramic (8.60 ± 2.65 MPa). All groups showed mainly mixed failure (75% to 100%). CONCLUSION: The cutting speed and initiation location are important factors that should be considered during specimen preparation for microtensile bond strength testing, as both may influence the bond strength results.

Machined and plastic copings in three-element prostheses with different types of implant-abutment joints: a strain gauge comparative analysis.

OBJECTIVE: Using strain gauge (SG) analysis, the aim of this in vitro study was quantify the strain development during the fixation of three-unit screw implant-supported fixed partial dentures, varying the types of implant-abutment joints and the type of prosthetic coping. The hypotheses were that the type of hexagonal connection would generate different microstrains and the type of copings would produce similar microstrains after prosthetic screws had been tightened onto microunit abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three dental implants with external (EH) and internal (IH) hexagonal configurations were inserted into two polyurethane blocks. Microunit abutments were screwed onto their respective implant groups, applying a torque of 20 Ncm. Machined Co-Cr copings (M) and plastic prosthetic copings (P) were screwed onto the abutments, which received standard wax patterns. The wax patterns were cast in Co-Cr alloy (n=5), forming four groups: G1) EH/M; G2) EH/P; G3) IH/M and G4) IH/P. Four SGs were bonded onto the surface of the block tangentially to the implants, SG 1 mesially to implant 1, SG 2 and SG 3 mesially and distally to implant 2, respectively, and SG 4 distally to implant 3. The superstructure's occlusal screws were tightened onto microunit abutments with 10 Ncm torque using a manual torque driver. The magnitude of microstrain on each SG was recorded in units of microstrain (µÎµ). The data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). RESULTS: Microstrain values of each group were: G1= 338.1 ± 223.0 µÎµ; G2= 363.9 ± 190.9 µÎµ; G3= 415.1 ± 53.5 IE; G4= 363.9 ± 190.9 µÎµ. No statistically significant difference was found between EH and IH, regardless of the type of copings (p>0.05). The hypotheses were partially accepted. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the type of hexagonal connection and coping presented similar mechanical behavior under tightening conditions.
