ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to compare the microshear bond strength of different resin cements to CAD/CAM-created lithium disilicate ceramics after 24 hours and after 1 year (10,000 thermocycles). Forty (40) ceramic bars were subjected to pretreatment comprising airborne abrasion with aluminum oxide particles, etching with 10% hydrofluoric acid and Monobond N application. Bars were divided into 4 groups (n = 10), based on cement type: light-cured Variolink Esthetic LC (VLC) and dual-cured Variolink N (VN) at two different times: after 24 hours and after 1 year. Silicone molds were used to prepare cement cylinders on a ceramic surface. The set was stored in distilled water at 37ºC, for 24 hours or subjected to 10,000 thermocycles. The molds were removed and microshear bond strength was tested. Data were submitted to two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Based on the comparison between cement values at different aging times (p = 0.035), VN after 24 hours (27.10 ± 0.92) and after 1 year (20.62 ± 1.25) presented significantly higher values than VLC after 24 hours (14.79 ± 0.76) and after 1 year (6.61 ± 0.81). Bond strength recorded for both cements after 24 hours (VN: 27.10 ± 0.92 and VLC: 14.79 ± 0.76) was significantly higher than the one recorded after 1 year (VN: 20.62 ± 1.25 and VLC: 6.61 ± 0.81). The thermocycling reduced the values observed for both investigated cements; bond strength was greater for dual-cure resin cement than for light-cured resin cement.
O objetivo nesse estudo foi comparar a resistência de união de diferentes cimentos resinosos à cerâmica de dissilicato de lítio processada por CAD/CAM após 24 horas e após 1 ano (10.000 termociclos). Foram utilizadas 40 barras cerâmicas com tratamento prévio por jateamento com óxido de alumínio, condicionamento com ácido fluorídrico 10% e aplicação do Monobond N. As barras foram divididas em 4 grupos (n=10) de acordo com o tipo de cimento: fotopolimerizável Variolink Esthetic LC (VLC) e dual Variolink N (VN) em diferentes tempos: após 24 horas e 1 ano. Matrizes de silicone foram usadas para preparar cilindros de cimento na superfície cerâmica. O conjunto foi armazenado em água destilada a 37ºC por 24 horas ou submetidos protocolo de termociclagem com 10.000 ciclos. As matrizes foram removidas e o teste de microcisalhamento realizado. Os dados foram avaliados por análise de variância a dois fatores e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Ao comparar os valores dos cimentos em diferentes tempos de envelhecimento (p=0,035), observou-se que VN, após 24 horas (27,10 ± 0,92) e 1 ano (20,62 ± 1,25) apresentou valores significativamente superior a VLC após 24 horas (14,79 ± 0,76) e 1 ano (6,61 ± 0,81). A resistência para ambos os cimentos após 24 horas (VN: 27,10 ± 0,92 e VLC: 14,79 ± 0,76) foi significativamente superior que 1 ano (VN: 20,62 ± 1,25 e VLC: 6,61 ± 0,81). A termociclagem promoveu diminuição nos valores de ambos os cimentos estudados e o cimento resinoso dual mostrou maior resistência de união que o cimento resinoso fotopolimerizável.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to evaluate the effect of mouth rinses on the color, microhardness, and surface roughness of tooth enamel. Sixty dental blocks were collected from human third molars and divided in five groups (n = 12): the control group (CG) without immersion in mouth rinse, Listerine Zero, Colgate Plax Fresh Mint, Listerine Whitening, and Colgate Luminous White. The groups were subjected to initial color analysis; the microhardness and roughness of the enamel surfaces were evaluated. Next, the samples were subjected to immersion in mouth rinses or brushing with conventional fluoride toothpaste (CG) according to the manufacturer's instructions; after a 12-week treatment, the color, microhardness, and roughness were once again assessed and compared with the initial analysis. Data were tabulated and analyzed through a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (color and roughness) followed by Tukey's test. Microhardness was analyzed through the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's test; the level of significance was 5%. All groups immersed in mouth rinses had a higher level of microhardness loss than CG; additionally, all groups showed changes in the enamel surface. Enamel surface loss was observed using a roughness test, and the mouth rinses promoted a higher level of color changes than CG. Given the results, it can be concluded that the mouth rinses led to significant changes in tooth enamel.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of whitening mouthrinses on sorption (SP) and solubility (SL), percentage of microhardness change (%M), loss of surface (LS), and color change (ΔE) in bulk-fill composites when compared with conventional composites. METHODS: Three bulk-fill composites, Surefil SDR (SF), Filtek Bulk-Fill (BF), and Filtek Bulk-Fill Flow (BFF), and one conventional resin, Filtek Z350 (FZ), were selected. Eighteen samples of each composite were subdivided into three groups based on the type of treatment: Listerine Whitening mouthrinse (LW), Colgate Plax Whitening mouthrinse (CP), and distilled water (DW; control). The samples were prepared according to ISO 4049:2009. Color, roughness, and microhardness were evaluated before and after treatment, while SP and SL values were measured after treatment. The surface morphology of the specimen was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. RESULTS: FZ presented significantly lower ΔE when immersed in DW. Additionally, LS was lowest in FZ when compared with the other resins. SF and BFF demonstrated high %M. SL was significantly higher in SF, whereas SP was lowest in BFF after CP treatment. No significant alterations in surface morphology were noted in the BF composites. The BF composites showed a decrease in their properties after immersion in the two types of mouthrinses or in DW, without alterations in the surface morphology. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Flowable bulk-fill composites showed the greatest changes in their properties when exposed to different mouthrinses or water. Thus, they should be used with caution in areas that will stay exposed to the oral cavity.
