ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To assess the homodigital flap surgical procedure, as well as the function of the finger, pain, sensation, esthetics, and patient satisfaction. METHOD: Retrospective analysis of records and questionnaires of patients who underwent this surgical technique between the months of May 2013 and October 2016. Eight were included in the study, with an average follow-up period of 23 months. Patients with digital pulp lesions of the thumbs and those who did not perform rehabilitation were excluded. All underwent the two-point discrimination test, the Semmes-Weinstein test, and range of motion evaluation. The age varied from 22 to 59 years (average of 32.9), six (75%) being male patients. RESULTS: Three patients (37.5%) had involvement of the right hand and five of the left (62.5%). Regarding the etiology, seven suffered injury and one a chemical burn. The average distance obtained from the two-point discrimination test was 7.3 mm. All patients who underwent the Semmes-Weinstein test obtained response to the purple filament. The average sum of the range of motion of the affected digit was 98.9%. The flap area was on average 294.4 mm2. The return to work averaged seven weeks. A positive Tinel sign was found in the donating area and two reported intolerance to cold. Partial or total necrosis of the flap was not observed. CONCLUSION: The homodigital flap technique presented satisfactory esthetics and functional results regarding feasibility, sensation, and digital mobility in pulp lesions.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effects of pH cycling on fluoride release and bond strength of two self-etching adhesive systems to both enamel and dentin. The ultramorphology of the interfaces produced by the adhesive systems were also analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The buccal surfaces of bovine incisors were flattened to expose enamel and dentin, which were bonded with either Clearfil Protect Bond (CPB) or One-Up Bond F Plus (OBP). The bonded samples were prepared for microtensile bond strength (µTBS) testing, fluoride ion release, and transmission electron microscopy. pH cycling comprised demineralization (8 h/day) and remineralization (16 h/day) cycles for 8 days. The µTBS data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, while fluoride release was analyzed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS: The adhesives presented similar bond strengths to enamel. However, the dentin bond strength of CPB was higher than that of OBP. pH cycling did not influence enamel or dentin µTBS. The amount of fluoride released from the bonded enamel and dentin was low and varied among the groups. The morphological evaluation showed that the thickness of the dentin hybrid layers was similar for both adhesives. CONCLUSION: The pH-cycling regime did not affect enamel or dentin bond strengths. In enamel, both the self-etching adhesives tested presented similar bond strengths, but in dentin, Clearfil Protect Bond showed higher dentin bonding than One-Up Bond F Plus.

A remodelação estética do sorriso pode ser realizada de duas maneiras: por meio de restaurações diretas, utilizando-se resinas compostas; ou com restaurações indiretas, utilizando-se coroas, facetas e/ou laminados cerâmicas. A abordagem minimamente invasiva, em foco nos últimos anos, tem-se mostrado efetiva na obtenção de excelentes resultados estéticos, com restaurações imperceptíveis. Desse modo, o presente trabalho demonstra, mediante relato de caso clínico, a abordagem minimamente invasiva, suas vantagens e desvantagens, utilizadas para a remodelação de dois laterais conoides, a qual influenciou a harmonia dos elementos anteriores e a estética do sorriso.
The aesthetic reshaping of the smile can be reached, basically, in two ways: direct restorations using composite resins; or using indirect restorations, such as full crowns and laminate veneers. A minimally invasive approach in focus in the last years, has obtained great results, with imperceptible restorations. In this way, this case report demonstrates the pros and cons of the minimal invasive approach for reshaping lateral conoid shaped incisors, which directly influenced the harmony of the maxillary anterior teeth and the aesthetics of the smile.

This study compared the volumetric shrinkage (VS), flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) properties of the low-shrinkage resin composite Aelite LS (Bisco) to those of Filtek LS (3M ESPE) and two regular dimethacrylate-based resin composites, the microfilled Heliomolar (Ivoclar Vivadent) and the microhybrid Aelite Universal (Bisco). The composites (n = 5) were placed on the Teflon pedestal of a video-imaging device, and VS was recorded every minute for 5 min after 40 s of light exposure. For the FS and FM tests, resin discs (0.6 mm in thickness and 6.0 mm in diameter) were obtained (n = 12) and submitted to a piston-ring biaxial test in a universal testing machine. VS, FS, and FM data were submitted to two-way repeated measures and one-way ANOVA, respectively, followed by Tukey's post-hoc test (a = 5%). Filtek LS showed lower VS than did Aelite LS, which in turn showed lower shrinkage than did the other composites. Aelite Universal and Filtek LS exhibited higher FS than did Heliomolar and Aelite LS, both of which exhibited the highest FM. No significant difference in FM was noted between Filtek LS and Aelite Universal, while Heliomolar exhibited the lowest values. Aelite LS was not as effective as Filtek LS regarding shrinkage, although both low-shrinkage composites showed lower VS than did the other composites. Only Filtek LS exhibited FS and FM comparable to those of the regular microhybrid dimethacrylate-based resin composite.

This study evaluated the effect of adhesive systems and application strategies on dentin hydraulic conductance (HC). The buccal enamel was removed from bovine incisors to simulate laminate cavity preparations. After removing the roots and the coronal pulp, the buccal dentin was treated with EDTA solution (0.5 M) for 5 minutes, rinsed, ultrasonicated for 12 minutes and connected to a permeability device. HC of the specimens was measured at 10 psi (n = 5). Permeability was measured before and after bonding procedures using G-Bond (GB), Clearfil Tri-S Bond (CTS), Hybrid Coat (HY), Bond Force (BF), Adper Easy Bond (AEB) Silorane (SI), Clearfil SE Bond (CSE) and Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SMP) adhesives systems, which were applied following three strategies: 1) according to the manufacturers' instructions; 2) two coats of all-in-one self-etching adhesives (GB, CTS, HY, BF, AEB) or priming step plus two coats of bonding resin for the other systems (SI, CSE and SMP); and 3) a thin layer of a flowable composite applied over one coat of all-in-one self-etching adhesives or primed surface for SI, CSE and SMP adhesives. No significant difference was observed among the application modes concerning their ability to reduce HC. None of the adhesives showed complete sealing (100%) of the bovine tooth dentin. SI exhibited lower HC than SMP, however, they were not significantly different from the other systems. The results suggest that all systems tested result in an HC reduction of more than 90%. The wet bonding technique seemed to be more sensitive for dentin sealing.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of adhesive primer applications on the bond strength of resin cements to cast titanium. Four adhesive primers - Metaltite, Metal Primer II, Alloy Primer and Ceramic Primer - and their respective resin cements - Bistite II DC, Link Max, Panavia F 2.0, RelyX Unicem and RelyX ARC - were tested. Cast plates were prepared from titanium ingots (n=6 specimens/cement) and had their surfaces airborne-particle abraded with Al2O3 (50 µ m). Three resin cement cylinders were built on each bonded titanium surface, using a cylindrical translucent tubing mold and were subjected to micro-shear testing. Data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (α=0.05). The application of Metal Primer II and Ceramic Primer resulted in significant higher bond strength for Link Max and RelyX Unicem resin cements, respectively, than nonuse of adhesive primers. Panavia F 2.0 and RelyX ARC yielded high bond strength means with or without adhesive primers. The use of adhesive primers might increase the bond strength to cast titanium depending on the resin cement used.

Aim: To evaluate the influence of the viscosity and curing mode on the bond strength of two resincements to dentin. Methods: Eight experimental groups were formed (n = 7) according to thedual-cure resin cements (Nexus 2 - Kerr Corp. and Variolink II - Ivoclar Vivadent), curing modes(dual-cure or self-cure) and viscosities (low and high). Resin cements were applied to pre-curedcomposite resin discs (2 mm thick, Sinfony -3M ESPE), which were fixed to bonded dentinsurfaces. The restored teeth were either light-activated (XL3000 - 3M ESPE) or allowed to selfcuring only. After 24 h, the teeth were both mesiodistally and buccolingually sectioned to obtainbonded beam specimens (0.8 mm2 cross-sectional area). Each specimen was tested in microtensilestrength at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure. Results: Data (in MPa) were analyzedstatistically by three-way ANOVA and Tukeys post-hoc test (pre-set á = 0.05). No significantdifference was observed between resin cements (p=0.26) and viscosities (p=0.13), however, thecuring mode affected the BS within the viscosities (p=0.01). Statistically significant difference wasobserved for low viscosity: Nexus 2: 23.8(10.6) (dual-cure) and 16.0(5.1) (self-cure); VariolinkII: 28.7(8.7) (dual-cure) and 11.9(3.0) (self-cure). Conclusions: Light activation yielded higherbond strength for the low-viscosity versions of the resin cements.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de primers na resistência de união de cimentos resinosos ao titânio. Quatro primers - Metaltite, Metal Primer II, Alloy Primer and Ceramic Primer - e seus respectivos cimentos resinosos - Bistite II DC, Link Max, Panavia F 2.0, RelyX Unicem and RelyX ARC - foram testados. Placas de titânio foram preparadas a partir da fundição de lingotes (n=6 espécimes/cimento) e as superfícies dessas placas foram jateadas com partículas de Al2O3 (50 μ m). Três cilindros de cimento resinoso foram construídos em cada placa de titânio, utilizando moldes transparentes com formato de cilindro e foram submetidos ao teste de microcisalhamento. Os dados foram analisados pela ANOVA (dois fatores) e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). A aplicação do Metal Primer II e do Ceramic Primer resultou no aumento significativo da resistência de união para os cimentos resinosos Link Max e RelyX Unicem, respectivamente. Os cimentos Panavia F 2.0 e o RelyX ARC mostraram altos valores de resistência de união com ou sem o uso dos primers. A aplicação dos primers pode aumentar a resistência de união dos cimentos resinosos ao titânio, dependendo do tipo de cimento resinoso utilizado.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de primers para estruturas à base de ligas metálicas na resistência de união (RU) de um cimento convencional e de um cimento autoadesivo à zircônia, utilizando o teste de microcisalhamento. Foram preparadas 60 placas de óxido de zircônia (Cercon), com dimensões de 13 x 5 x 1 mm (comprimento x largura x espessura). Essas placas foram jateadas com óxido de alumínio e divididas em seis grupos experimentais, segundo o tratamento utilizado (n = 10). Os primers e cimentos foram aplicados de acordo com as recomendações dos fabricantes e grupos experimentais. Após o tratamento da zircônia, cilindros de cimento resinoso foram construídos na superfície das placas, utilizando matrizes (Tygon) com 0,7 x 1 mm (diâmetro x altura). As amostras foram armazenadas em água destilada por 24 h à 37ºC e submetidas ao ensaio de microcisalhamento (0,5 mm/min, Instron 4411). Os valores obtidos foram analisados pela ANOVA (2 fatores) e teste Tukey (α = 0.05). Somente a utilização do Metal Primer II aumentou a RU dos dois cimentos resinosos à zircônia. O cimento autoadesivo RelyX U-100 obteve as maiores médias de RU quando comparado ao cimento convencional Bistite II DC, para todos os tratamentos de superfície utilizados. Para se obter maior RU à zircônia Cercon deve ser utilizado o Metal Primer II e o cimento autoadesivo RelyX U-100.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alloy primers on the bond strength (BS) of conventional resin cement and self-adhesive cement to zirconia using the microshear bond strength test. Sixty ceramic plates, with dimensions of 13 x 5 x 1 mm (length x width x thickness), were prepared . The ceramic plates were air-abraded with aluminum oxide and divided into six experimental groups, according to the treatment used (n = 10). The primers and resin cements were applied according to manufacturers' recommendations and experimental groups. After treatment of the zirconia, resin cement cylinders were constructed on their surfaces by using matrix (Tygon) with 0.7 x 1 mm (diameter x height). The samples were stored in distilled water for 24 hours at 37°C and tested in a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min, Instron 4411). The data were analyzed by ANOVA (two factors) and Tukey test (α = 0.05). Only the use of Metal Primer II increased the bond strength of all resin cements to zirconia. The self-adhesive RelyX U-100 cement promoted higher bond strength values than Bistite II DC, for all surface treatments. To obtain the highest bond strength to zirconia, it must be used the Metal Primer II and the self-adhesive RelyX U-100 resin cement.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of adhesive systems to intact and ground enamel. Enamel blocks from buccal and lingual surfaces of third molars were used for bonding procedures. Intact or ground (600-grit SiC paper) enamel surfaces were bonded using two ôetch&rinseõ adhesives (Prime&Bond 2.1 and Single Bond), three self-etching primer systems (Optibond Solo Plus SE; Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus and UniFil Bond) or two self-etching adhesives (One-Up Bond F and Xeno III). A 6-mm composite crown was built on the bonded surfaces and samples were stored for 24 hs at 37oC. Samples were sectioned into 0.9-mm-thick slabs, each slab trimmed to a cross-sectional area of 0.8 mm2 and specimens loaded to failure at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min, using a universal testing machine. Microtensile bond strength data (n=6) were analyzed using Kruskal- Wallis and Dunn tests. Differences in bond strength between intact and ground surfaces were not significant for both ôetch&rinseõ adhesives, Tyrian SPE/One-Step Plus, UniFil Bond and Xeno III systems. The enamel surface preparation resulted in higher bond strength for Optibond Solo Plus SE and One-Up Bond F systems. Enamel preparation using 600-grit SiC paper is unlikely to affect resin-enamel bond strengths.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Although self-etching bonding systems (SES) are indicated to prepare dental enamel for bonding, concerns have been expressed regarding their effectiveness. The aim of this study was to analyze the etching pattern (EP) of nine SES in comparison with 35 percent and 34 percent phosphoric acid etchants (FA) on intact (IN) and ground (GR) enamel surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-two human third molars were sectioned in mesial-distal and buccal-lingual directions, and four dental fragments were obtained from each tooth. Half of the fragments were ground using 600-grit SiC paper and the other half remained intact. The fragments were randomly assigned into 22 groups, according to the texture of enamel surface (IN and GR) and the technique to etch the enamel (34 percent FA, 35 percent FA, AdheSE primer; Brush & Bond; Clearfil Protect Bond primer; iBond; One-up Bond F; OptiBond Solo Plus primer; Tyrian SPE primer; Unifil Bond primer and Xeno III). Conditioners were applied to IN and GR enamel surfaces, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Specimens etched with phosphoric acids were washed with water, while the surfaces treated with SES were submitted to alternate rinsing with alcohol and acetone. The specimens were dried, sputter-coated and examined under a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: For both IN and GR enamel surfaces, the EP of 34 and 35 percent FA was deeper and more homogeneous in comparison to EP of SES, except for Tyrian SPE. The acidic monomer action of self-etching systems was more effective on GR enamel. CONCLUSION: Most of the SES are less aggressive than phosphoric acid etchants and their etching effects were reduced on intact enamel surfaces.
OBJETIVO: Apesar dos sistemas adesivos autocondicionantes (SAA) serem indicados para aplicação no esmalte dental, preocupação tem sido relatada com relação a sua efetividade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o padrão de condicionamento ácido (PCA) promovido por nove SAA e comparar ao PCA produzido pelo ácido fosfórico (35 por cento e 34 por cento - AF) no esmalte intacto (EI) ou abrasionado (EA). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Vinte e dois terceiros molares humanos foram seccionados nos sentidos mésio-distal e vestíbulo-lingual, e quatro fragmentos dentais foram obtidos a partir de cada dente. Metade dos fragmentos tiveram o esmalte abrasionado com lixas de SiC (600) e a outra metade permaneceu intacta. Os fragmentos foram divididos em 22 grupos, de acordo com a textura da superfície do esmalte (EI e EA) e a técnica de condicionar o esmalte (AF 34 por cento, AF 35 por cento, AdheSE primer; Brush & Bond; Clearfil Protect Bond primer; iBond; One-up Bond F; OptiBond Solo Plus primer; Tyrian SPE primer; Unifil Bond primer e Xeno III). Os agentes condicionadores foram aplicados nos EI e EA, de acordo com as instruções dos fabricantes. Espécimes tratados com AF foram lavados com água, enquanto os dentes tratados com SAA foram tratados com banhos alternados de álcool e acetona. Os espécimes foram secos, metalizados e observados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. RESULTADOS: Em ambas as superfícies (EI e EA), o PCA dos AF (34 e 35 por cento) foi mais profundo e homogêneo, quando comparados ao PCA produzido pelos SAA, exceto para o adesivo Tyrian SPE. A ação dos monômeros ácidos dos SAA foi mais efetiva no EA. CONCLUSÃO: A maioria dos SAA é menos agressiva que o ácido fosfórico e seus efeitos condicionadores são reduzidos em superfícies de EI.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência de diferentes tratamentos de superfície na resistência de união de resinas compostas a um agente de fixação resinoso. Dois compósitos de laboratório, Solidex e Targis, e um compósito convencional, Filtek Z250, foram testados. Quarenta e oito blocos de resina composta (5.0 x 5.0 x 5.0mm) foram confeccionados através da técnica incremental, para cada compósito testado, e foram aleatoriamente divididos em 6 grupos. Os blocos foram submetidos a seis tratamentos de superfície: 1 - Controle, Lixa 600-SiC (C); 2 - Silanização (SI); 3 - Jateamento com Al2O3 50µm por 10 segundos (SA); 4 - Condicionamento com ácido fluorídrico por 60 segundos (HF); 5 - HF + SI; 6 - SA + SI. Blocos submetidos ao mesmo tratamento foram unidos com o agente de fixação resinoso Rely X. Uma carga de 500g foi aplicada por 5 minutos e as amostras foram fotoativadas por 40 segundos. Os blocos unidos foram seccionados em fatias de 0.9mm de espessura perpendicularmente à interface de união (n = 12). Foram realizadas constrições limitando a interface de união a 1mm e as amostras foram levadas para o ensaio de tração. As maiores médias de união foram obtidas para as amostras submetidas à aplicação do silano após o jateamento com Al2O3.

Forty-eight composite resin blocks (5.0 x 5.0 x 5.0mm) were incrementally manufactured, which were randomly divided into six groups, according to the surface treatments: 1- control, 600-grit SiC paper (C); 2- silane priming (SI); 3- sandblasting with 50 mm Al2O3 for 10s (SA); 4- etching with 10% hydrofluoric acid for 60 s (HF); 5- HF + SI; 6 - SA + SI. Composite blocks submitted to similar surface treatments were bonded together with the resin adhesive Single Bond and Rely X luting composite. A 500-g load was applied for 5 minutes and the samples were light-cured for 40s. The bonded blocks were serially sectioned into 3 slabs with 0.9mm of thickness perpendicularly to the bonded interface (n = 12). Slabs were trimmed to a dumbbell shape and tested in tension at 0.5mm/min. For all composites tested, the application of a silane primer after sandblasting provided the highest bond strength means.
ABSTRACT
Este estudo avaliou, in vitro, o efeito da idade na resistência à tração do sistema adesivo Prime & Bond NT no substrato dentinário. Foram utilizados terceiros molares humanos de cinco faixas etárias: A- 17 a 20, B- 21 a 30, C- 31 a 40, D- 41 a 50 e E- 51 a 63. O esmalte oclusal foi removido utilizando disco de diamante e a superfície dentinária abrasionada e planificada com lixa de SiC (600) sob refrigeração. O sistema adesivo foi aplicado de acordo com as recomendações do fabricante e um bloco de resina composta de 6 mm de altura foi confeccionado na superfície dentinária. Os dentes foram armazenados em água por 24 horas a 37oC e preparados para o ensaio de micro-tração. Cada espécime foi fixado no dispositivo de micro-tração que estava acoplado a uma máquina universal de ensaio e testado numa velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. As médias de resistência à tração foram (MPa): A- 21,42 7,52a; B- 30,13 10,19a; C- 31,69 11,78a; D- 30,69 8,47a e E- 35,66 9,54a. Nenhuma diferença significativa foi observada entre os grupos formados pelas faixas etárias (p > 0,05). Os resultados sugerem que a idade não altera significativamente a resistência de união do sistema adesivo à dentina.

This in vitro study evaluated the effect of tooth age on the tensile bond strength of Prime & Bond NT adhesive system to dentin. Human third molars from the five age groups were analyzed: A- 17 to 20yrs, B- 21 to 30yrs, C- 31 to 40yrs, D- 41 to 50yrs and E- 51 to 63yrs. The occlusal enamel was removed using a diamond saw under water cooling and the dentin surface was wet-ground with 600-grit SiC paper to obtain flat surfaces. The adhesive system was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions and a 6-mm high resin "crown" was built-up with resin composite. Teeth were stored for 24 hours in distilled water at 37ºC and prepared for micro-tensile testing. Each specimen was mounted in a testing jig attached to a universal testing machine and stressed in tension at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min until failure. The means of tensile bond strength were (MPa): A- 21.42 ± 7.52ª; B- 30.13 ± 10.19ª; C- 31.69 ± 11.78ª; D- 30.69 ± 8.47ª and E- 35.66 ± 9.54ª. No statistically significant difference was observed among the age groups (p > 0.05). The results suggested that the tensile bond strength of the adhesive system was not significantly affected by dentin aging.
ABSTRACT
A avaliaçäo passiva do arco de movimento articular é obrigatória na prática diária ortopédica e sua mensuraçäo pode contribuir sobremaneira para a detecçäo de diversas patologias. A literatura revela que existe grande preocupaçäo para determinar-se corretamente o diagnóstico, principalmente nas afecçöes congênitas, procurando também entender-se os mecanismos de sua gênese. Portanto, o amplo conhecimento da fisiologia do movimento articular do quadril, principalmente nos recém-nascidos, nos auxiliaria a entender a anatomia e biomecânica da articulaçäo coxofemoral. Além disso, o quadril influencia diretamente todas as funçöes ativas dos membros inferiores. Os autores demonstram os resultados da mensuraçäo passiva do movimento articular do quadril de 80 recém-nascidos normais. Correlacionam os valores obtidos com parâmetros distintos como o sexo, cor, peso ao nascimento e aplicam para a análise dos resultados testes estatísticos específicos que demonstram algumas diferenças significativas. A medida da abduçäo com os membros inferiores estendidos foi significativamente maior nos indivíduos do sexo feminino e nos näo brancos. A rotaçäo externa com a criança em decúbito ventral foi maior nas crianças masculinas. A rotaçäo interna, independentemente da posiçäo em que o paciente foi colocado, foi significativamente maior nos indivíduos brancos. A aduçäo do quadril foi significativamente menor em crianças pequenas para a idade gestacional. Apesar de a literatura relatar näo haver diferenças na amplitude dos movimentos articulares com relaçäo ao sexo, cor e peso ao nascimento, os achados deste estudo demonstram estatisticamente que estes parâmetros tiveram influência direta nos resultados.
