ABSTRACT
To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the marginal misfit and retentive strength between Y-TZP crowns and an epoxy resin. Forty (40) epoxy resin (G10) abutments (height: 5mm, conicity: 60, finish line: large chamfer) with equal dimensions were milled and included in polyurethane to simulate the periodontal ligament. Next, 40 Y-TZP crowns (thickness: 1mm) were milled (Cerec in Lab) and randomly divided into four groups (n=10) according to the surface treatment: GS(glaze spray), GP(glaze powder/liquid), P(zirconia primer) and RS(tribochemical silica coating). The conditioned surfaces were cemented with dual self-adhesive cement, light cured and submitted to thermomechanical cycling (2x106, 100N, 4Hz, 5°/55°C). Marginal misfit was analyzed by a stereomicroscope and SEM. Retentive strength test was performed (1mm/min) until crown debonding. Glaze layer thickness was also performed to GS and GP groups. Marginal misfit data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests; one-way ANOVA and Tukey (5%) analyzed the tensile strength data. The marginal misfit of the GS (48.6±19.9µm) and GP (65.4±42.5µm) were statistically lower than the RS (96±62.9µm) and P (156±113.3µm) (p=0.001). The retentive strength of the GP (470.5±104.1N) and GS (416.8±170.2N) were similar to the P (342.1±109.7N), but statistically higher than those of the RS (208.9±110N). The GS and GP glaze layer was 11.64µm and 9.73µm respectively. Thus, glaze application promoted lower marginal discrepancy and higher retentive strength values than conventional techniques.

Objetivo: estabelecer uma proporção única de redução entre a medida da largura dos seis dentes artificiais anteriores superiores, em curva e em linha reta. Material e métodos: foi utilizado um dispositivo pré-fabricado, simulando o plano de cera superior, no qual foram montados os dentes (Premium, Heraeus-Kulzer Inc. Hanau, Alemanha) nos seguintes modelos: T2, O2, R2, S2, S4, O4, S6, R4, R6, T4 e T6. Em seguida, a largura em curva entre os dentes anteriores montados foi medida com uma régua flexível, tendo como referência a face distal dos caninos. A partir dos dados obtidos (mm) e dos valores das medidas fornecidos na carta molde do fabricante, realizou-se o cálculo da proporção entre essas duas medidas para cada modelo de dentes. Resultados: verificou-se redução entre a medida em curva e a medida em linha reta, variando de 4% a 19% para todos os tipos de modelos estudados. Assim, não foi possível estabelecer uma porcentagem padrão única de redução para todos os tipos de dentes do fabricante. Porém, agrupando-se a redução em milímetros, observou-se uma redução variável entre os modelos em curva e em linha reta: 2 mm para o modelo T2; 3 mm para os modelos O2, R2, S2 e S4; 4 mm para os modelos O4 e S6; 5 mm para os modelos R4, R6 e T4; e 9 mm para o modelo T6. Conclusão: é possível estabelecer uma redução aproximada (em mm) entre uma medição em curva e reta na seleção de dentes artificiais Premium/Heraeus-Kulzer.
Objective: this study aimed to establish a single rate reduction between the measurement of the width of the six artificial anterior upper teeth, in curved and straight configurations. Methods: for this, a prefabricated device simulating the upper wax rim was used and received artificial teeth (Premium, Heraeus-Kulzer Inc., Hanau, Germany) from T2, O2, R2, S2, S3, O4, S6, R4, R6, T4, and T6. Next, the width of the six anterior teeth in curvature was measured from the distal of both canines. After, based on the mold chart of the manufacturer, the ratio between the straight and curved configurations was generated. Results: there was a 4% to 19% in reduction between the curved and straight configurations. A single reduction percentage was not obtained for all tooth forms. However, the reductions were 2 mm for T2, 3 mm for O2, R2, S2 and S4; 4 mm for O4 and S6; 5 mm for R4, R6, and T4; and 9 mm for T6 models. Conclusion: it is possible to establish an approximated reduction (in mm) between the curved and straight configurations for Premium/Heraeus-Kulzer artificial teeth.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of different protocols for resin cement removal during cementation on biofilm formation. METHODS: Twenty-eight ceramic blocks, which were injected under pressure, were placed over enamel blocks obtained from freshly extracted bovine incisors. The ceramic blocks were cemented to the enamel blocks using a dual-cured resin cement and the excess resin was removed according to the experimental group: TS: Teflon spatula; BR: brush; BR+: brush and polishing; SB+: scalpel blade and polishing. After autoclaving, the samples were colonised by incubation in a sucrose broth suspension standardised with Streptococcus mutans in microaerophilic stove. Specimens were quantitatively analysed for bacterial adherence at the adhesive interface using confocal laser scanning microscopy and counting the colony forming units, and qualitatively analysed using SEM. The roughness (Ra/Rz/RSm) was also analysed. Data were analysed by 1-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (5%). RESULTS: The roughness values ranged from 0.96 to 1.69 µm for Ra (p>0.05), from 11.59 to 22.80 µm for Rz (p=0.02<0.05) and from 293.2 to 534.3 µm for RSm (p=0.00). Bacterial adhesion varied between 1,974,000 and 2,814,000 CFU/ml (p=0.00). Biofilm mean thickness ranged from 0.477 and 0.556 µm (p>0.05), whilst the biovolume values were between 0.388 and 0.547 µm(3)/µm(2) (p=0.04). Lower values for roughness, bacterial adhesion, biofilm thickness and biovolume were found with BR, whilst TS presented the highest values for most of the parameters. SEM images confirmed the quantitative values. CONCLUSIONS: The restoration margin morphology and interface roughness affects bacterial accumulation. The brush technique promoted less bacterial colonisation at the adhesive interface than did the other removal methods. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The brush technique seems to be a good option for removing the excess resin cement after adhesive cementation in clinical practice, as indicated by its better results with lower bacterial colonisation.

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the photoactivation effects of QTH (Quartz-Tungsten-Halogen) and LED (Light-Emitting Diode) on the SBS (Shear Bond Strength) of orthodontic brackets at different debond times. Seventy-two bovine lower incisors were randomly divided into two groups according to the photoactivation system used (QTH or LED). The enamel surfaces were conditioned with Transbond self-etching primer, and APC (Adhesive Pre-Coated) brackets were used in all specimens. Group I was cured with QTH for 20 s and Group II with LED for 10 s. Both groups were subdivided according to the different experimental times after bonding (immediately, 24 h and 7 days). The specimens were tested for SBS and the enamel surfaces were analyzed according to the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI). The statistical analysis included the Tukey's test to evaluate the main effects of photoactivation and debond time on SBS. The Chi-square test was used to compare the ARI values found for each group, and no statistically significant difference was observed. The debond time of 7 days for QTH photoactivation showed statistically greater values of SBS when compared to the immediate and 24 h periods. There was no statistically significant difference between the QTH and LED groups immediately and after the 24 h period. In conclusion, bonding orthodontic brackets with LED photoactivation for 10 s is suggested because it requires a reduced clinical chair time.

A cor das resinas compostas indiretas é um dos mais importantes fatores no sucesso do tratamento protético. Com este material a estabilidade de cor é aspecto preponderante na longevidade deste trabalho. A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar a estabilidade de cor de resina composta indireta (Resilab Master, Wilcos Brasil) através de um colorímetro digital. Foram confeccionados 32 corpos-de-prova (CP). Realizou-se o registro inicial da cor de cada CP, através de um colorímetro digital, que foram distribuídos em 4 grupos (n=8) e imersos em diferentes soluções. Grupo 1 (controle): água destilada/estufa; Grupo 2: água destilada/termociclagem; Grupo 3 : suco de laranja/termociclagem e Grupo 4: café/termociclagem. Após termociclagem e imersão em estufa (tempo total aproximado de 60 horas), as amostras foram enxaguadas e o registro final da cor foi obtido. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística (Teste de Dunnet p<0,005). Os resultados mostraram que os valores de ΔE (diferença de cor) e desvio padrão dos grupos foram: G1: 2,35±0,84; G2: 2,97±1,21; G3: 8,33±5,87; G4: 22,38±5,33. Foi observado que os grupos 3 e 4 diferiram estatisticamente do grupo 1, exceto o grupo 2 que não foi estatisticamente significante. Baseado nos resultados, conclui-se que a termociclagem contribui para uma alteração de cor da resina composta indireta e a solução de café mancha mais do que o suco de laranja.

Apesar da reabilitação de pacientes parcial e totalmente edêntulos com implantes osseointegrados ser clinicamente aceitável na Odontologia moderna, muitas falhas ainda podem ocorrer nesse tipo de tratamento protético. Freqüentemente o afrouxamento e fratura dos parafusos de fixação e/ou retenção dos componentes dos implantes serve como um sinal de alerta, indicando que o sistema de conexões necessita de uma reavaliação. Assim, a proposta deste trabalho foi relatar a situação clínica da fratura de um parafuso de fixação e a técnica de remoção do fragmento no interior do implante.
