ABSTRACT
El presente estudio evaluó la rugosidad y pigmentación de dos resinas compuestas nanohíbridas, Tetric EvoCeram (TE) y Ceram X Duo (CD) después del uso de dos técnicas de pulido: de paso único Pogo (P) y múltiples pasos Sof-Lex Discs (S). Sesenta especímenes fueron confeccionados con dimensiones de 7mm x 2mm, subdivididos en grupos (n=10): G1- TE+ P;G2- TE+S; G3- TE control; G4- CD + P;G5- CD + P; G6- CD control. Se realizó la toma de color a través de espectrofotómetro VITA Easyshade y lectura de la rugosidad superficial por el rugosímetro Surf-Corder. Los especímenes fueron inmersos en solución de café soluble por siete días, dejando dos especímenes de cada grupo almacenados en agua destilada durante el periodo del experimento. Después de ese tiempo, se realizó una nueva toma de color de los especímenes y los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente a través del test de Anova y Tukey. Para los dos sistemas de pulido hubo diferencia estadísticamente significante en relación a las dos resinas compuestas (p<0,05). El grupo control presentó superficies más lisas que las demás, mientras que en los especímenes pulidos con sistema Sof-Lex presentaron superficies más lisas que las pulidas con Pogo. Los especímenes pulidos con sistema de "múltiples pasos" obtuvieron valores menores de variación de color (?E*), mientras que las muestras tratadas con tira de poliéster fueron las que más se pigmentaron. Cuando se comparan las dos técnicas de pulido, la técnica de múltiples pasos resultó tener una mayor lisura superficial y menor variación de color.
This study compared two different nanohybrid composite resins, Tetric EvoCam and Ceram X Duo about its roughness and staining, after two polishing techniques, "one step" Pogo and "multiple steps" Sof-Lex Disc. Sixty test-samples were fabricated with dimensions of 7mm x 2mm, divided into groups: (n=10): G1- TE+ P;G2- TE+S; G3- TE control; G4- CD + P;G5- CD + P; G6- CD control. A color check was performed with VITA Easyshade spectrophotometer and a reading of the surface roughness by the Surf-Corder (Kosaka Lab. SE 1700). So, the specimens were immersed in a solution of solved coffee (Nescafe) for seven days, with two specimens of each group stored in distilled water during the study period. After this period, it was performed another color check of the specimens and the data was statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test. For both polishing systems there was statistically significant differences, on both resin composites (p<0.05). The control group showed smoother surfaces than the others, while that the ones polished with Sof-Lex presented smoother surfaces than the ones polished with the Pogo system. The specimens polished with the "multiple steps" system had lower values of color variation (?E*), while that the specimens treated with polyester strips were the most stained ones. When comparing the two polishing techniques, the technique of "multiples steps" resulted in greater smoothness surface and less color variation.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze the effect of glass-ionomer cement as a liner on the dentin/resin adhesive interface of lateral walls of occlusal restorations after thermocycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Occlusal cavities were prepared in 60 human molars, divided into six groups: no liner (1 and 4); glass-ionomer cement (GIC, Ketac Molar Easymix, 3M ESPE) (2 and 5); and resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC, Vitrebond, 3M ESPE) (3 and 6). Resin composite (Filtek Z250, 3M ESPE) was placed after application of an adhesive system (Adper Single Bond 2, 3M ESPE) that was mixed with a fluorescent reagent (Rhodamine B) to allow confocal microscopy analysis. Specimens of groups 4, 5 and 6 were thermocycled (5°C-55°C) with a dwell time of 30 seconds for 5000 cycles. After this period, teeth were sectioned in approximately 0.8-mm slices. One slice of each tooth was randomly selected for confocal microscopy analysis. The other slices were sectioned into 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm beams, which were submitted to microtensile testing (MPa). Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p<0.05). RESULTS: There was no detectedstatistical difference on bond strength among groups (α<0.05). Confocal microscopy analysis showed a higher mean gap size in group 4 (12.5 µm) and a higher percentage of marginal gaps in the thermocycled groups. The RMGIC liner groups showed the lowest percentage of marginal gaps. CONCLUSIONS: Lining with RMGIC resulted in less gap formation at the dentin/resin adhesive interface after artificial aging. RMGIC or GIC liners did not alter the microtensile bond strength of adhesive system/resin composite to dentin on the lateral walls of Class I restorations.
