ABSTRACT
RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar o perfil do usuário e o tempo de espera para tratamento endodôntico no Centro de Especialidade Odontológicas (CEO) Positivo, localizado na cidade de Curitiba, PR. Brasil. Métodos Este estudo transversal utilizou dados primários de 77 pacientes que aguardavam na fila de espera para a especialidade de Endodontia, de março a de julho de 2017. Os dados coletados foram: tempo de espera, gênero, idade, dentes referenciados e quantidade de encaminhamentos por Unidade de Saúde do serviço público. Resultados O tempo médio de espera foi de aproximadamente 11 meses. Do total, 56% eram do gênero feminino, com média de idade de 35,5 anos. Os dentes mais referenciados foram os póstero-inferiores. Conclusão O tempo na fila de espera é considerado longo, o que requer maior diálogo com a atenção básica para a formulação de estratégias voltadas à redução dos agravos bucais e à maior capacitação profissional para diagnóstico e condução dos casos.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the user's profile and waiting time for endodontic treatment at the Center of Dental Specialties (CDS) Positivo, located in the city of Curitiba, PR. Brazil. Methods This is a cross-sectional study using primary data from 77 patients queue specialty of Endodontics, from March to July 2017. Data collected were: waiting time, sex, age, referenced teeth and number of referrals per Public Service Health Unit. Results The mean waiting time was approximately 11 months. Of the total, 56% were female, with a mean age of 35.5 years. The most referenced teeth were the lower posterior. Conclusion Waiting time in queue is considered long, which requires a greater dialogue with the primary attention for the formulation of strategies aimed at the reduction of the oral diseases and the greater professional capacity for the diagnosis and the conduction of the cases.
RESUMEN Objetivo Evaluar el perfil de usuario y el tiempo de espera para tratamiento endodóncico en el Centro de Especialidad Odontológica (CEO) Positivo, localizado en la ciudad de Curitiba, PR.

Los datos recolectados fueron: tiempo de espera, género, edad, dientes referenciados y cantidad de encaminamientos por Unidad de Salud del Servicio Público. Resultados El tiempo promedio de espera fue de aproximadamente 11 meses. Del total, 56% eran del género femenino, con promedio de edad de 35,5 años. Los dientes más referenciados fueron los postero-inferiores. Conclusión El tiempo en la lista de espera es considerado largo, lo que requiere mayor diálogo con la atención básica para la formulación de estrategias dirigidas de reducción de las enfermedades bucales y la mayor capacitación profesional para diagnóstico y conducción de los casos.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Different materials have been used for intervening in root perforations. These materials are often in contact with resin cements used for cementation of intraradicular retainers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of self-adhesive resin cement to different materials used to treat root perforations (mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA], Portland cement [PORT], and glass ionomer cement [GIC]). METHODS: Four discs (10 × 1 mm) of each material (the MTA, PORT, and GIC groups) were embedded into polyvinyl chloride tubes using acrylic resin, ground, and polished until a flat surface was exposed. Afterward, 4 silicone molds were used to prepare self-adhesive resin cement cylinders (0.7 × 1 mm) on each disc surface (N = 16). The specimens were stored in deionized water at 37°C for 24 hours and subjected to a microshear test. Then, the failure modes were examined. Data were submitted to statistical analysis (α = 0.05). RESULTS: The MTA and GIC groups showed significantly higher microshear bond strength values (3.36 ± 1.56 and 2.90 ± 1.49 MPa, respectively) than the PORT group (1.39 ± 0.77 MPa) (P < .05). Only adhesive failure modes were observed. CONCLUSIONS: When PORT was used as a root perforation material, GIC should be used as a base over it to improve shear bond strength with self-adhesive resin cement.
