ABSTRACT

This article evaluates a pH-cycling model for simulation of caries-affected and caries-infected dentin (CAD and CID, respectively) surfaces, by comparing the bond strength of an etch-and-rinse and a self-etch adhesive system. For both adhesives, bonding to sound dentin (SD) showed that the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) values of SD, CAD, and CID were SD > CAD > CID (P < 0.05). Knoop microhardness number mean values followed the same trend. Adhesive systems were not able to totally penetrate into CAD and CID, forming more irregular resin-dentin interdiffusion zones and atypical resin tags than SD. The tested in vitro pH-cycling caries model allowed the evaluation of specific dentin substrate alterations in response to µTBS. The type of dentin and its histological structure played an important role in etch-and-rinse and self-etch bonding, as lower µTBS values were attained in CAD and CID.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo clínico foi avaliar a freqüência dos biótipos periodontais, considerando os diferentes formatos geométricos dos incisivos centrais superiores, através de parâmetros anatômicos dentários e gengivais. Quarenta voluntários foram agrupados de acordo com a forma dos incisivos centrais superiores (ICS, n = 10): retangular (grupo 1), triangular (grupo 2), quadrado (grupo 3) ou oval (grupo 4). Para cada voluntário, foi determinado o biótipo periodontal através de consenso entre 3 examinadores calibrados e foram medidos: o comprimento (CC) e a largura (LC) da coroa; a razão entre a largura e o comprimento da coroa (PLC); a altura do ponto de contato entre os ICS (APC); a distância entre os zênites gengivais dos ICS (ZG1); a distância entre os zênites gengivais do incisivo central e do incisivo lateral superiores (ZG2); a altura da papila entre os ICS (AP1); e a altura da papila entre o incisivo central e o incisivo lateral superiores (AP2). Os dentes quadrados obtiveram os menores valores de comprimento coronário (9,36 ± 0,97, p = 0,0012) e a maior proporção entre a largura e o comprimento da coroa (0,93 ± 0,06, p = 0,0001), quando comparados aos dos demais grupos. Os dentes triangulares apresentaram significativamente a maior distância (8,44 ± 0,89, p = 0,0438) considerando o parâmetro ZG2. O biótipo periodontal fino/festonado foi predominante no total de voluntários desse estudo (60%), e mais freqüente em indivíduos com dentes retangulares. Voluntários com dentes quadrados apresentaram maior freqüência de periodonto plano e espesso (60%), embora o teste exato de Fisher não tenha encontrado diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos.


The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the frequency of periodontal phenotypes among different geometric forms of maxillary central incisors. Some clinical parameters such as tooth and papillae dimension, localization of contact points and distances between gingival vertices were also evaluated. Forty patients were selected and divided into 4 groups (n=10) according to geometric form of maxillary central incisors: rectangular (group 1), triangular (group 2), squared (group 3) or ovoid (group 4). Squared teeth showed the lowest coronal length values (9.36±0.97; p=0.0012 and the highest coronal width/length ratio (0.93±0.06; p=0.0001), when compared to the other groups. Thin and scalloped gingival phenotype was predominant in this clinical study (60%), and was frequent in groups 1, 2 and 4. In contrast, squared teeth (group 3) presented predominantly thick and plan gingiva. Nevertheless, Fisher’s exact test did not found any statistical difference among groups.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a prevalência e severidade da cárie e de fluorose em pré-escolares e escolares do município de Rio das Pedras, SP, município de médio porte, sem água fluoretada até o ano de 2001. Foram analisados os dados do Levantamento Epidemiológico em Saúde Bucal do Estado de São Paulo, coletados em 1998. A amostra foi composta de 165 crianças de 5 e 6 anos e 574 crianças de 7 a 12 anos, de ambos os sexos, sorteadas em escolas públicas e privadas da zona urbana. Foram utilizados os índices ceod e CPOD para cárie e o índice de Dean para a fluorose dentária, segundo os critérios da OMS (1997). Os resultados mostraram ausência de fluorose, porém elevada prevalência de cárie em ambas as faixas etárias: apenas 23% dos pré-escolares e 27,5% dos escolares estavam livres de cárie, com uma média de CPOD de 4,8 aos 12 anos, sendo assim, estes resultados ficaram distantes das metas da OMS para o ano de 2000. Portanto, a alta prevalência de cáries encontrada nos escolares e pré-escolares do município de Rio das Pedras sugere a necessidade de se adotar medidas preventivas e educativas em saúde bucal no município.


The purpose this study was to determine the prevalence and severity of dental caries and fluorosis in preschool children and school children in the city of Rio das Pedras, São Paulo, Brazil, where the fluordation public water supply began in the year 2001. The data used were those obtained in the 1998 epidemiologic dental survey carried out in the State of São Paulo. The study population consisted of 5 and 6-yr-old children (n = 165) and 7-12-yr-old children (n = 574), male and female, enrolled in public and private school located in the urban area. DMF-T Index, def-t Index, WHO criteria for caries diagnostic and Dean Index for fluorosis was used. The results demonstrated flurosis absence, however prevalence of dental caries was higher in all ages groups deciduous and permanent dentition both. Percentage of caries-free preschool was 23% and caries-free school children were 27.5%. Mean DMF-T was 4.8 at age 12. The WHO goal for the year 2000 of a mean DMFT index no more than 3 ate the age of 12 years and 50 percent 5 years of children caries-free was not achieved in this population. The high prevalence of dental caries found in school children and preschool children in the city of Rio das Pedras suggests a need for oral health education and preventive programs.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo é revisar a literatura sobre as estratégias clínicas para minimizar os efeitos adversos da contração de polimerização dos compósitos, dentre elas, a forma de inserção da resina composta, o uso de materiais intermediários com propriedades elásticas e as técnicas de fotoativação. De acordo com a literatura, a combinação de mais de uma estratégia parece ser o método mais eficiente para garantir o sucesso clínico das restaurações diretas. Além disso, o julgamento crítico do adequado emprego dos compósitos pode influenciar o resultado final do tratamento restaurador.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the effect of sealants on enamel demineralization, focusing on physical protection of the sealed enamel and fluoride protection of the adjacent unsealed enamel. Occlusal fissures with areas measuring 12 mm2 were delimited in 48 extracted molars, randomly divided into 4 groups (n =12): 1) no sealing; 2) sealing with a resin-modified glass-ionomer (Vitremer, 3M ESPE); 3) sealing with a fluoride-releasing composite sealant (Clinpro Sealant, 3M ESPE); and 4) sealing with a non-fluoridated composite sealant (Concise, 3M ESPE). A 4-mm2 window was outlined on the buccal enamel for analysis of fluoride uptake. Following treatment, groups 2, 3 and 4 were subjected to 5-days of pH-cycling, while group 1 was kept in a moist environment at 37 degrees C. Fluoride uptake was assessed by dental biopsy, and the amount of fluoride released to the cycling solutions was determined by ion analysis. Enamel demineralization around the sealants was evaluated by cross-sectional micro-hardness analysis. Group 2 showed higher levels of fluoride release (P < 0.01) and uptake by enamel (P < 0.05), and lower levels of demineralization (P < 0.05) than groups 3 and 4. Group 3 exhibited reduced demineralization on unsealed enamel and provided fluoride uptake in a distant enamel area, while group 4 did not.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated microleakage at the composite-repair interface after using different methods of surface treatment. Eighty resin composite specimens (Filtek Z250, 3M Dental Products) aged in artificial saliva for three months were divided into four groups (n=20) according to the following surface treatment methods: untreated control-no roughening or abrasion of the surface; roughening with diamond burs; jet prophylaxis with sodium bicarbonate particles and air abrasion with 50 microm aluminum oxide particles. Each method was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate changes in surface topography. All groups were then etched with 37% phosphoric acid, coated with a bonding agent (Single Bond, 3M Dental Products) and received new resin applications. The samples were then thermocycled (800 cycles/5 degrees C to 55 degrees C [+/- 2]) and immersed in 2% methylene blue buffered dye solution (7.0 pH) for four hours. Three examiners measured the extent of microleakage in a stereoscope microscope using four representative scores. For all experimental groups, no significant difference in repair microleakage was identified by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p>0.05). Therefore, different testing methods of surface treatment showed the same effect on dye penetration along the repair interface.

ABSTRACT

A redução na prevalência mundial da doença cárie e as alterações no seu padrão de desenvolvimento e aspecto clínico têm tornado ainda mais complexo o seu diagnóstico. Uma vez que os indivíduos podem apresentar níveis de atividade e severidade da doença associados a manifestações clínicas sutis ou mesmo subclínicas, deve-se atentar para um diagnóstico precoce e individualizado, que permita a instituição de medidas conservativas ao invés das invasivas. A desmineralização cariosa no sistema de fóssulas e fissuras é crítica, em função da microanatomia da superfície oclusal, o que, juntamente com a localização, dificulta a percepção visual de alterações nessa região. Métodos diagnósticos complementares têm sido desenvolvidos para auxiliar a detecção e o monitoramento de tais lesões, embora forneçam informações estáticas, as quais não devem ser consideradas isoladamente. A associação entre o exame clínico-anamnésico e alguns exames complementares permite determinar, individualmente, o risco, a atividade e a severidade da doença, além de caracterizar as lesões cariosas já estabelecidas. Reunindo-se essas informações, torna-se mais fácil decidir a terapêutica adequada
