ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this clinical report was to describe the detection of fluorescent resin residue after orthodontic bracket debonding with two UV light devices and analyze the surface morphology of enamel after 1 year. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A 22-year-old woman had orthodontic brackets removed by a previous dentist; however, resin residue was left on the enamel of the maxillary teeth. After confirming the fluorescent property of the resin, different protocols were used for each half of the maxillary arch. The first method, a black light lens was attached to a light-curing device to detect resin fluorescence, followed by polishing with silicone rubber tips. The second method used a light emitting diode light system attached to and activated by a high-speed handpiece, followed by polishing with discs. Both methods were completed with diamond polishing paste applied with felt discs. Polyvinyl siloxane impressions were made initially, after residue removal, after finishing and after polishing for morphologic analysis. The results were evaluated with photographs and the scanning electron microscope images made of resin casts from the impressions. A follow-up was made after 1 year. CONCLUSIONS: Both methods yielded a satisfactory clinical outcome, with a smooth surface, acceptable surface gloss and minimal tooth wear. The use of a UV device that excites fluorescence is recommended for the controlled removal of resin residue on enamel. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The controlled removal of resin residue from enamel after orthodontic treatment is challenging but can be improved with auxiliary methods for detecting resin residues. This clinical report describes two types of devices that excite fluorescent resins in a more rapid and precise technique to guide the practitioner in the controlled removal of residual resin on teeth.

O objetivo deste ensaio clínico foi avaliar o comportamento de dois sistemas de polimento na regularização da superfície do esmalte dental, que apresentava-se rugosa e irregular após a remoção de braquetes ortodônticos. As variáveis de resposta foram: rugosidade superficial, luminosidade, morfologia, textura e sensibilidade. Fizeram parte dessa pesquisa clínica 30 voluntários. Os fatores em estudo foram: as técnicas de polimento superficial em dois níveis: Técnica 1 (discos de óxido de alumínio) e Técnica 2 (produto ácido-abrasivo), e o tempo de análise em 5 níveis: T0 (baseline), T1 (imediatamente após os polimentos superficiais), T2 (após polimento final), T3 (7 dias após os procedimentos) e T4 (6 meses após os procedimentos). Os dados representados por escores foram analisados considerando distribuição multinomial; os dados numéricos foram analisados como medidas repetidas no tempo, a um nível de significância de 5%. Nas análises de rugosidade superficial e luminosidade, não houve diferença estatística entre as técnicas em todos os tempos analisados. Nas análises por score, dentro de cada tempo, verificou-se igualdade significativa apenas no baseline; nos demais tempos foram observadas irregularidades superficiais estatisticamente superiores para a Técnica 1. Nenhum paciente apresentou sensibilidade dental. Ambas as técnicas foram eficientes; porém a maior lisura foi adquirida quando a Técnica 2 foi utilizada(AU)
This clinical study evaluated the behavior of two surface polishing systems in the regularization of the enamel surface, which was rough and irregular after orthodontic brackets debonding. The response variables were: surface roughness, lightness, morphology, texture and sensitivity. Thirty volunteers were part of this clinical research. The factors under study were: Surface polishing at two levels: Technique 1 (aluminum oxide disks) and Technique 2 (enamel microabrasive product); and the Time of analysis at 5 levels: T0 (after surface polishing), T1 (immediately after surface polishing), T2 (after final polishing), T3 (7 days after surface polishing) and T4 (6 months after surface polishing). The data represented by scores were analyzed considering multinomial distribution; the numerical ones were analyzed as measures repeated in time, at a significance level of 5%. In the analysis of surface roughness and lightness, there was no statistical difference between the polishing techniques at all times analyzed. In the other analyzes, within each time, significant equality was observed only in the baseline, while in the other times superficial irregularities were statistically superior for Technique 1. No patient presented dental sensitivity. Both techniques were efficient; however, the higher surface smoothness was observed on the dental enamel surface polished with the Technique 2(AU)

This longitudinal study evaluated the clinical performance of 97 direct class I resin composite restorations after 3 years. The restorations were performed using 2 types of adhesive systems: (1) Adper™ Single Bond Plus (SB) (3M ESPE, 3mespe.com), which is a two-step etch-and-rinse system, and (2) Adper Scotchbond™ SE (SE) (3M ESPE), which is a two-step self-etching system. Two calibrated examiners evaluated the restorations using modified US Public Health Service criteria. The materials were applied following the manufacturer's instructions, and 15 patients received at least one of the two adhesive systems. The restorations were evaluated 7 days after placement (baseline) and again after 3 years. Statistical analysis was performed using a proportion t-test at a significance level of 5% (P < .05). At baseline, all restorations received an Alpha score for the variable marginal discoloration and marginal integrity. After 3 years, marginal discoloration received an Alpha score for 53.19% of the restorations performed with SB and 52.08% with SE. Marginal integrity was rated as Alpha for 65.96% and 68.75% of the restorations with SB and SE systems, respectively. The remaining restorations received Bravo scores for all variables. Eight restored teeth presented postoperative sensitivity at baseline (5 SB; 3 SE), but no sensitivity was found after 3 years. No secondary caries was verified. No statistically significant differences were observed between the teeth restored with the SB and SE systems for marginal discoloration (P = .7880) and marginal integrity (P = .8132) after 3 years. Direct class I resin composite restorations performed with a two-step etch-and-rinse and a two-step self-etching adhesive system demonstrated satisfactory clinical performance after 3 years.

This study evaluated the effects of combining enamel microabrasion and dental bleaching on the physical properties of enamel, using in vitro and in situ conditions and evaluating surface roughness, enamel microhardness and scanning electron microscopy images. One hundred sound bovine teeth were sectioned and cut into discs and randomly divided into 10 study groups (n=10). The results were submitted to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures, followed by the Tukey test, with significance at 5%. Enamel surface roughness was significantly influenced by microabrasion, regardless of being combined with dental bleaching, for both HS (Human Saliva) or AS (Artificial Saliva) condition. Enamel microhardness was significantly decreased in the groups in which enamel microabrasion was performed, regardless its combination with dental bleaching; although storage in HS reestablished the initial enamel microhardness. It was concluded that dental bleaching does not cause major damage to microabraided enamel, and that only human saliva recovered the initial enamel microhardness.

Superficial irregularities and certain intrinsic stains on the dental enamel surfaces can be resolved by enamel microabrasion, however, treatment for such defects need to be confined to the outermost regions of the enamel surface. Dental bleaching and resin-based composite repair are also often useful for certain situations for tooth color corrections. This article presented and discussed the indications and limitations of enamel microabrasion treatment. Three case reports treated by enamel microabrasion were also presented after 11, 20 and 23 years of follow-ups.

O objetivo deste trabalho in situ foi avaliar se a associação da microabrasão do esmalte com o clareamento dental causaria danos às propriedades do esmalte dental microabrasionado, através dos testes de rugosidade superficial, de microdureza do esmalte dental e de microscopia eletrônica por varredura. Os fatores em estudo foram: técnicas em 5 níveis: controle, microabrasão (Opalustre Ultradent Products Inc. Utah, USA), clareamento dental (Opalescence Boost PF 38 % - Ultradent Prodcuts Inc. Utah, USA) e a associação dos dois procedimentos (imediata e tardia); assim como o tempo de manutenção dos espécimes in situ: 0, 1, 3, 7 dias. As variáveis de resposta foram microdureza e a rugosidade superficial. Foram utilizados 50 dentes bovinos hígidos, seccionados em discos de esmalte/dentina com 5,7mm de diâmetro. Os espécimes selecionados foram aleatoriamente divididos em 5 grupos de estudo (n=10): Grupo Controle + 0, 1, 3, 7 dias in situ; GI Clareamento + 0, 1, 3, 7 dias in situ; GII Microabrasão + 0, 1, 3, 7 dias in situ; GIII Microabrasão + Clareamento + 0, 1, 3, 7 dias in situ e GIV Microabrasão + 0, 1, 3, 7 dias in situ + Clareamento. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância de dois fatores (ANOVA) para medidas repetidas, seguidas pelo teste de Tukey a 5%. Foi observado que a rugosidade superficial do esmalte dental não foi alterada pela realização do clareamento dental com/sem período in situ, mas foi significativamente influenciada pela realização da microabrasão associada ou não com o clareamento dental, com/sem período in situ. Já a microdureza do esmalte dental, em uma comparação entre grupos, sofreu redução significativa nos grupos onde a microabrasão do esmalte foi realizada, independente da associação com o clareamento dental; sendo que após o período in situ observou-se o reestabelecimento da microdureza inicial do esmalte. Conclui-se que a associação da microabrasão do esmalte com o clareamento dental não causa maiores danos...

Com o passar das décadas, houve uma evolução na odontologia, mais especificamente das técnicas restauradoras, sendo Buonocore (1955) o introdutor da Era Adesiva. Sendo assim, este trabalho tem como objetivo revisar a literatura acerca dos sistemas adesivos atuais. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura sobre os sistemas de 5º e 6º gerações. Os resumos e títulos dos artigos publicados foram analisados na base de dados PubMed nos últimos 5 anos. No entanto, ainda há divergência de opiniões quanto a técnica empregada, sendo assim, diante da diversidade desses materiais, torna-se impossível destacar aquele que apresente melhor eficácia em todas as situações, sendo de responsabilidade do profissional obter o conhecimento das técnicas e da aplicabilidade clínica de cada material
