ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to provide a critical review of the literature regarding factors that can interfere with microtensile test results for enamel and dentin adhesive systems. Primarily, reports in English, Spanish, or Portuguese that were published between July 1994 and September 2009 and are catalogued in MEDLINE and BBO were used. Additionally, we compiled relevant articles found in the references of these articles anddissertations and theses available in electronic databases of Brazilian universities that examined factors that can influence implementationof the microtensile test at each stage. The search strategy included searching for the following key term groups: microtensile and test;microtensile and assay; microtensile and test and parameters; microtensile and test and factors; microtensile and specimen; microtracc?n andespecimen. We reviewed 25 selected articles and found that they showed that even after adjustment of test parameters, changes found in thedentin could be responsible for variations observed amongst results. This influence could potentially be reduced by using the cohesive strengthvalue of dentin adjacent to the adhesive interface as a standard for comparison, but more studies are needed to confirm whether such anapproach would be reliable. Data analysis methodology should be taken into account when comparing studies.


O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revis?o cr?tica da literatura sobre os fatores que podem interferir nos resultados do teste de microtra??ode sistemas adesivos ao esmalte ou dentina. Foram utilizados trabalhos publicados nas bases de dados eletr?nicas MEDLINE e BBO, em ingl?s,espanhol ou portugu?s, entre julho de 1994 e setembro de 2009, refer?ncias destes artigos, al?m de disserta??es e teses dispon?veis em bancos de dados eletr?nicos de universidades brasileiras enfocando o estudo das vari?veis que podem influenciar cada fase da execu??o do ensaio de microtra??o. A estrat?gia de busca incluiu os termos: microtra??o e teste; microtra??o e ensaio; microtensile e test e parameters; microtensile e test e factors; microtensile e specimen; microtracci?n e esp?cimen. Os 25 artigos selecionados demonstraram que mesmo ap?s a padroniza??o de par?metros do ensaio, as altera??es encontradas na dentina podem ser respons?veis pela varia??o do resultado. Uma maneira de reduzir esta influ?ncia seria utilizar os valores de resist?ncia coesiva da dentina adjacente ? interface adesiva como padr?o de compara??o, por?m mais estudos s?o necess?rios. Aspectos relativos ? an?lise dos dados devem ser levados em considera??o quando se compara os estudos.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether dietary carbohydrates can modulate the development of Candida albicans biofilms on the denture material surface. Poly (methyl methacrylate) acrylic resin discs were fabricated and had their surface roughness measured. Biofilms of C. albicans ATCC 90028 were developed on saliva-coated specimens in culture medium without (control) or with carbohydrate supplementation by starch, starch+sucrose, glucose, or sucrose for 72 h. The cell count, metabolic activity, biovolume, average thickness, and roughness coefficient were evaluated at the adhesion phase (1.5 h) and after 24, 48, and 72 h. The secretion of proteinases and phospholipases, cell surface energy, and production of extra/intracellular polysaccharides were analyzed after 72 h of biofilm development. Data were analyzed by one- and two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test at 5% significance level. In the early stages of colonization (adhesion and 24 h), the glucose group showed the highest cell counts and metabolic activity among the groups (p<0.05). After maturation (48 and 72 h), biofilms exposed to glucose, sucrose, or starch+sucrose showed higher cell counts and metabolic activity than the control and starch groups (p<0.001). Compared to the control group, biofilms developed on starch or starch+sucrose had more proteinase activity (p<0.001), whereas biofilms developed on glucose or sucrose had more phospholipase activity (p<0.05). Exposure to starch+sucrose increased the production of extracellular and intracellular polysaccharides (p<0.05). Biofilms developed on starch or without carbohydrate supplementation presented cells with more hydrophobic behavior compared to the other groups. Confocal images showed hyphae forms on biofilms exposed to starch or starch+sucrose. Within the conditions studied, it can be concluded that dietary carbohydrates can modulate biofilm development on the denture surface by affecting virulence factors and structural features.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Heat treatment allows the use of direct composite resins for fabrication of inlays/onlays restorations because it improves some mechanical and physical properties. AIM: The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of heat treatment on the water sorption and solubility of direct composite resins compared with an indirect composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 50 cylindrical specimens were fabricated (6 mm diameter × 2 mm high) and divided into five groups (n = 10): G1 (FillMagic without heat treatment-control 1), G2 (heat-treated FillMagic), G3 (P60 without heat treatment-control 1), G4 (heat-treated P60) and G5 (indirect resin Epricord-control 2). After fabrication, the specimens were placed in a desiccator containing silica gel and maintained at 37°C for 24 h. This cycle was repeated until a constant weight was achieved (m1). Following, the specimens were stored in individual flasks containing 2 ml of distilled water in an oven at 37°C. The specimens were weighed after intervals of 1, 7 and 21 days of immersion in water (m2). After 21 days of storage in water, the specimens were once again desiccated until a constant weight was achieved (m3). The mean diameter and thickness of specimens were obtained using a digital pachymeter. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Two - way analysis of variance and Tukey's test were used to compare the sorption and solubility (α = 0.05). RESULTS: The type of resin significantly influenced the sorption (P = 0.01) and solubility (P = 0.00). The heat treatment also significantly influenced the sorption (P = 0.026) and solubility (P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the heat treatment is an additional curing method that improves strength to the sorption and solubility of composite resins.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar um caso clínico, suportado por achados tomográficos e histológicos, de regiões enxertadas com HA+β-TCP (hidroxiapatita + beta fosfato tricálcio, BoneCeramic) ou osso bovino inorgânico liofilizado (Bio-Oss), em um procedimento de elevação bilateral da mucosa do seio maxilar. A necessidade de enxerto ósseo, para viabilizar a instalação de implantes na maxila posterior foi comprovada pela altura óssea residual inferior a 5 mm, bilateralmente, avaliada por tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico em paciente edêntulo total, usuário de prótese total convencional. Após a osteotomia de acesso ao seio maxilar e o descolamento da mucosa sinusal, foi realizado o preenchimento da cavidade com substituto ósseo bovino inorgânico liofilizado (Bio-Oss) na maxila direita e com HA+β-TCP (BoneCeramic) na maxila esquerda. Nova tomografia computadorizada foi realizada oito meses após o procedimento de enxertia, e demonstrou ganho de tecido mineralizado em altura nas regiões enxertadas, compatível com a instalação de implantes. No ato da instalação dos implantes foram obtidas biópsias das áreas enxertadas com auxílio de broca trefina. A análise histológica demonstrou que, nas áreas em que ambos os enxertos foram realizados, havia remanescente do biomaterial sempre rodeado por tecido ósseo neoformado e tecido conjuntivo mole. Entretanto, a análise qualitativa subjetiva sugere uma tendência maior de presença de material mineralizado quando o osso bovino inorgânico liofilizado (Bio-Oss) foi utilizado. Dentro do limite deste estudo, pôde-se concluir que ambos os materiais, quando utilizados em procedimentos de enxertia para aumento ósseo no assoalho do seio maxilar em humanos, foram capazes de promover o ganho em altura óssea, apresentando comportamento clínico e tomográfico semelhantes depois de oito meses.


The aim of this study was to report a clinical case, supported by CBCT and histological findings, of regions grafted with HA + β-TCP (hydroxyapatite + beta tricalcium phosphate, BoneCeramic) or inorganic bovine bone lyophilized (Bio-Oss) for bilateral maxillary sinus lifting. The need for bone grafting in the posterior maxilla was confirmed by residual bone heights of less than 5 mm, in a totally edentulous patient, wearing a conventional total prosthesis. After osteotomy and detachment of the sinus mucosa, the formed cavities were filled with Bio-Oss (right side) and BoneCeramic (left side). A new CBCT scan was performed eight months after grafting procedure, and demonstrated gain of mineralized tissue height in the grafted regions, consistent with placement implant. After installation of the implants, biopsies were retrieved from the grafted areas with the aid of a trephine bur. Histological analysis demonstrated that, remaining biomaterial particles were always surrounded by newly formed bone and soft tissue in both sides. However, the subjective qualitative analysis suggests the presence of a larger trend of mineralized material when lyophilized inorganic bovine bone (Bio-Oss) was used. Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that both materials were able to promote significant gain in bone maxillary height after eight months.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The mechanical properties of direct composites may be improved by heat treatment. This study aimed to verify whether heat treatment influences the Knoop microhardness (KHN) of direct composites and whether there are differences among photoactivated areas before and after the application of heat. METHODS: A total of 84 rectangular cross-sectional specimens (10 × 2 × 2 mm) was prepared, 14 per composite. After photoactivation (600 mW/cm² - 40 s), seven specimens per composite were heat-treated (170 ºC/10 min), whereas the others remained unheated (control). KHN values were obtained for three sites on each specimen at specified distances from the irradiated surface (0.2, 1.0, and 2.0 mm). The data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test at with a significance level set to 5%. RESULTS: The improvement in the KHN values depended on the composites studied. The KHN values of TE-Economic, Natural Look, and Prisma were significantly improved by heat treatment (P < 0.05), whereas FillMagic and Glacier remained unchanged (P > 0.05) after heating. The distance from the irradiated area significantly influenced the KHN of all of the composites, regardless of heating application (P < 0.05). Sites that were closer to the irradiated surface exhibited a higher KHN (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The choice of the composite is important when intending to improve the KHN by heating. Sites that are closer to the irradiation source exhibit greater hardness, even after thermal treatment.


OBJETIVO: Este estudo procurou verificar se o tratamento térmico influencia na microdureza Knoop (KHN) de resinas compostas, e observar se existem diferenças entre áreas fotoativadas antes e depois da aplicação do calor. METODOLOGIA: Oitenta e quatro amostras retangulares transversais (10 × 2 mm × 2 mm) foram preparadas, 14 por resina composta. Após fotoativação (600 mW/cm² - 40), sete espécimes por compósito foram tratados termicamente (170 ºC/10 min), enquanto os demais permaneceram sem tratamento térmico (controle). Os dados de KHN foram obtidos em três áreas de cada amostra, de acordo com a distância a partir da superfície irradiada (mais próxima, intermediária e mais distante). Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a dois critérios e teste de Tukey a 5%. RESULTADOS: O aumento da KHN foi dependente dos compósitos estudados. Os valores da KHN da TE-Econômico, Natural Look e Prisma foram significativamente melhorados por tratamento térmico (P < 0,05), enquanto que na FillMagic e Glacier permaneceram inalterados (P > 0,05) após o aquecimento. A área mais distante irradiada influenciou significativamente a KHN para todos os compósitos, independentemente da aplicação de tratamento térmico (P < 0,05). Quanto mais próximo da superfície irradiada, maior foi a KHN observada (P < 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A escolha do compósito é importante quando é proposta a melhora da KHN por aquecimento. Quanto mais próximo da fonte de irradiação, maior a dureza mesmo após tratamento térmico.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the shear bond strength of a self-etch adhesive and an etch-and-rinse adhesive when bonded to bovine enamel and dentin. METHODS: The labial surfaces of 28 bovine mandibular incisors were wet ground to achieve a flat enamel or dentin surface. A 1-step self-etch adhesive and a 3-step etch-and-rinse adhesive were bonded to enamel or dentin according to the manufacturer's instructions (Adper Easy One and Adper Scotchbond, respectively). A composite resin cylinder (Filtek Z350 XT) was built upon the adhesive layer using a silicon mold (2 mm in diameter × 3 mm high). The specimens were stored in 37°C distilled water for 24 h. The bond strength was measured by a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min. Student's t-test was used to compare bond strength values between adhesives at the 95% confidence level. RESULTS: For the enamel specimens, Adper Scotchbond had significantly higher values of bond strength than Adper Easy One (P=0.007). For the dentin specimens, there were no statistically significant differences between adhesives (P=0.12). CONCLUSION: Adper Easy One showed lower shear bond strength than Adper Scotchbond on enamel. For dentin, Adper Easy One showed bond strength similar to Adper Scotchbond.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar a resistência ao cisalhamento de adesivo autocondicionante e adesivo convencional ao esmalte e dentina bovinos. METODOLOGIA: As superfícies vestibulares de 28 incisivos mandibulares bovinos foram lixadas, sob refrigeração, para obtenção de superfícies de esmalte ou dentina planas. Um adesivo autocondicionante de passo único e um convencional de três passos foram utilizados de acordo com as instruções dos fabricantes (Adper Easy One and Adper Scotchbond, respectivamente). Um cilindro de resina composta foi confeccionado sobre a camada adesiva usando um molde de silicone (2 mm de diâmetro × 3 mm altura). Os espécimes foram armazenados a 37°C em água destilada por 24 h. A resistência de união foi mensurada através de máquina de ensaios universal à velocidade de 0.1 mm/min. Teste t de Student comparou os resultados de resistência de união entre os adesivos com nível de confiança de 95%. RESULTADOS: Para os espécimes de esmalte, Adper Scotchbond apresentou valores significativamente maiores que Adper Easy One (P=0.007). Para espécimes de dentina, não houve diferenças significativas entre os adesivos (P=0.12). CONCLUSÃO: Adper Easy One mostrou menor resistência ao cisalhamento do que Adper Scotchbond no esmalte. Para dentina, Adper Easy One mostrou resistência de união similar ao Adper Scotchbond.

ABSTRACT

The rotational path of insertion concept for removable partial dentures (RPDs) can be used in esthetically demanding situations. This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient with an anterior maxillary edentulous area using a rotational path RPD. To optimally improve gingival esthetics and to allow proximal retention on the surveyors, a crown-lengthening surgical procedure was performed prior to prosthetic treatment on all teeth involved in this rehabilitation. When correctly planned and fabricated, this prosthesis allows excellent functional and esthetic results, minimizes tooth preparation, and reduces the tendency toward plaque accumulation.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The association of direct resin composites with simple thermal treatments may improve the mechanical properties of these materials. However, the ideal temperature for heat application depends on the thermal behavior of each material, such as glass transition (Tg) and initial degradation temperatures. To propose a heat treatment methodology, this study evaluated the thermal behavior of five commercial direct resin composites using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). METHODS: Photo-irradiation was achieved in cylindrical specimens (3×2 mm) using a photo-activator source (600 mW/cm² for 40 s). Thermal analyses were performed by DSC and TGA using a temperature range from 25 ºC to 900 ºC. RESULTS: Tg values obtained by DSC were 130.6 ºC for FillMagic, 129 ºC for Glacier, 143.5 ºC for Te-Econom, 147.5 ºC for Prisma APH and 143.7 ºC for Natural Look. A moderate weight loss began at around 270 ºC for all materials, which represented the initial degradation temperature. Conclusion: Regarding the heat treatment itself, it was concluded that the effective temperature for heat treatment is material dependent.


OBJETIVO: A associação de resinas compostas de uso direto com tratamentos térmicos pode melhorar as propriedades mecânicas destes materiais. No entanto, a temperatura ideal de aplicação está na dependência do comportamento térmico individual, como a temperatura de transição vítrea (Tg) e a temperatura inicial de degradação. Com o objetivo de propor uma metodologia de aplicação do tratamento térmico, o objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar cinco resinas compostas de uso direto usando calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC) e termogravimetria (TGA). METODOLOGIA: Corpos-de-prova cilíndricos (3×2 mm) foram fotoirradiados utilizando um aparelho de fotopolimerização (600 mW/cm² - 40s). As análises térmicas foram realizadas nas temperaturas de 25 ºC a 900 ºC. RESULTADOS: Os valores de Tg após análise de DSC foram: 130,6 ºC para FillMagic, 129 ºC para Glacier, 143,5 ºC para Te-Econom, 147,5 ºC para Prisma APH e 143,7 ºC para Natural Look. Para todos os materiais estudados a degradação iniciou-se por volta de 270 ºC. CONCLUSÃO: Considerando a aplicação do tratamento térmico em resinas compostas de uso direto, é possível sugerir que a temperatura efetiva é dependente do material em uso.

ABSTRACT

Uma das limitações das próteses parciais removíveis (PPR) na reabilitação de espaços protéticos anteriores é a estética obtida, tendo em vista a necessidade de planejamento de grampos de retenção nas superfícies vestibulares dos dentes pilares. Como alternativa de tratamento, pode-se utilizar próteses que apresentam duplo eixo de inserção e remoção que, quando comparadas com as PPRs convencionais, apresentam como principal vantagem o uso minimizado de grampos, sem prejuízo dos princípios de retenção, estabilidade e suporte. Este relato de caso descreve uma paciente com arco superior classe IV de Kennedy reabilitado através de uma PPR, com duplo eixo de inserção e remoção. Conectores menores rígidos foram planejados nas superfícies mesiais dos pilares anteriores em um eixo retilíneo, enquanto que grampos circunferenciais foram posicionados nos pilares posteriores, inseridos por meio de um movimento de rotação. Conclui-se que o conceito de PPR com duplo eixo permite excelente estética, mínimo preparo dos dentes pilares e reduz o acúmulo de placa bacteriana, por ter menor cobertura de grampos, no entanto apresenta indicação precisa, não devendo ser utilizada nos casos de extremidade livre.


One of the limitations of conventional RPD in the replacement of missing anterior teeth is the esthetic obtained, because placing retaining elements on the abutment teeth results in a undesirable display of the metallic structure. As an alternative treatment, dual path of insertion RPD should be used. When compared with conventional RPD, its design presents minimized use of clasps without compromising the retention, stability and support principles of RPDs. This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient Kennedy class IV using a dual path of insertion RPD. Minor connectors were planned on anterior abutments in intimate contact with the proximal undercuts, and then circumferential clasps were planned on the posterior abutments, fully seated in a rotational movement. Dual path RPD concept allows excellent functional and esthetic results, minimize tooth preparation and reduces the tendency toward plaque accumulation, however, it presents precise indication and should not be used in distal extension cases.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of a direct composite, for indirect application, that received heat treatment, with or without investment. One indirect composite was used for comparison. For determination of the heat treatment temperature, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed, considering the initial weight loss temperature and glass transition temperature (Tg). Then, after photoactivation (600 mW/cm(2) - 40 s), the specimens (10 x 2 x 2 mm) were heat-treated following these conditions: 170 masculineC for 5, 10 or 15 min, embedded or not embedded in investment. Flexural strength was assessed as a means to evaluate the influence of different heat treatment periods and investment embedding on mechanical properties. The data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (alpha = 0.05). TGA showed an initial weight loss temperature of 180 masculineC and DSC showed a Tg value of 157 degrees C. Heat treatment was conducted in an oven (Flli Manfredi, Italy), after 37 degrees C storage for 48 h. Flexural strength was evaluated after 120 h at 37 degrees C storage. The results showed that different periods and investment embedding presented similar statistical values. Nevertheless, the direct composite resin with treatments presented higher values (178.7 MPa) compared to the indirect composite resin (146.0 MPa) and the same direct composite submitted to photoactivation only (151.7 MPa). Within the limitations of this study, it could be concluded that the heat treatment increased the flexural strength of the direct composite studied, leading to higher mechanical strength compared to the indirect composite.

ABSTRACT

The dual path of insertion concept for removable partial denture (RPD) design may be used in esthetically demanding situations. When compared to conventional RPDs, the main advantage of this design is the minimal use of clasps. This clinical report describes the treatment of a patient with an anterior maxillary edentulous area using a dual path RPD. The diagnostic cast was surveyed to ensure the adequacy of the undercuts on the mesial surfaces of the anterior abutments, where rigid minor connectors were placed. Inverted V-shaped canine cingulum rest seats were prepared to provide resistance to tooth movement during function. The dual path RPD concept allows excellent esthetic results, minimizes tooth preparation, and reduces the tendency toward plaque accumulation in a Kennedy class IV partially edentulous arch.

ABSTRACT

O grau de conicidade tido como ideal em preparos para coroas totais fixas é aquele que proporciona maior retenção da restauração. A literatura recomenda uma variação em torno de 2° a 6°, porém estes valores são dificilmente obtidos na prática clínica, mostrando-se freqüentemente superiores à angulação recomendada. Entretanto, conicidades maiores podem ser aceitáveis, visto que cada dente suporte tem características e necessidades próprias de retenção. O objetivo deste estudo foi mensurar a conicidade dos preparos para coroas totais realizados pelos alunos da disciplina de Prótese Fixa I do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Maranhão, a partir de seu ângulo de convergência. Para tanto, selecionou-se um total de 64 dentes de resina para manequim, preparados no período de 2005 a 2006. Esses corpos-de-prova foram agrupados de acordo com o arco e o grupo dental: G1 - dentes ântero-superiores (n = 36); G2 - dentes ântero-inferiores (n = 2); G3 - pré-molares superiores (n = 7); G4 - pré-molares inferiores (n = 4); G5 - molares superiores (n = 2); G6 - molares inferiores (n = 13). Por meio do programa AutoCAD 2006, as imagens foram capturadas com uma câmera de vídeo CCD acoplada a um estereoscóspio, mostrando-se o ângulo de convergência tanto no sentido vestibulolingual/palatino (VL/P) quanto mesiodistal (MD). Os dados foram submetidos a uma análise de variância (p = 0,05). O G2 foi o grupo que apresentou a menor média de conicidade no sentido VL/P (6,50°, p < 0.05), e o G1, as maiores médias no sentido MD (44,18°, p < 0,05). Assim, conclui-se que as média dos ângulos de convergência obtidas no presente estudo foram maiores que as preconizadas na literatura.

ABSTRACT

Historicamente os profissionais de odontologia não têm se preocupado com as infecções em seu consultório ou em seu ambiente de trabalho. No entanto estes profissionais estão expostos a uma grande variedade de microrganismos que são veiculados pelo sangue, pela saliva e demais fluídos orgânicos de seus pacientes. Estes microrganismos podem causar várias doenças tais como, um resfriado comum, pneumonia, tuberculose, herpes, hepatite B, AIDS, etc. Portanto, a prevenção da infecção cruzada é parte fundamental na conduta diária de um tratamento dentário. Para diminuir o risco da infecção cruzada vários procedimentos devem ser adotados, entre eles a esterilizaão de instrumentos rotatórios. Neste trabalho foi avaliado o efeito de métodos de esterilização (calor seco e calor úmido) sobre a eficiência de desgaste de duas marcas comerciais de pontas diamantadas encontradas no mercado nacional, uma com valor comercial mais alto em relação a outra, respectivamente KG Sorensen e FAVA. Utilizamos 18 corpos-de-prova - pontas diamantadas com formato cilíndrico - que após o desgaste de esmalte dental humano em intervalo de tempo de 12 minutos (totalizando 72 minutos), foram submetidos ao método de limpeza com uso de escova de aço, seguido de esterilização pelo calor seca ou úmido, dependendo do grupo a que pertencia, tendo como controle um grupo, para cada marca comercial, sem nenhuma esterilização. Após cada tempo de uso e, após cada ciclo de esterilização, os corpos-de-prova foram fotografados em lupa estereoscópica. Os dados obtidos nos ensaios foram submetidos a análise estatística através da análise de variância a 5% e teste de Tukey. A análise estatística nos permitiu concluir que houve perda da eficiência de corte ao longo do tempo; que não houve prevalência de uma marca sobre a outra e que a esterilização não interferiu na eficiência de corte das marcas estudadas


Historically the dental professionals didn't worry with the infections in their clinics or the work atmosphere. However, these professionals are exposed to many microorganisms that are transmitted by the blood, saliva and by organic fluids of patients. The microorganisms can cause several diseases, such as, common cold, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, hepatitis B, AIDS, etc. Therefore, the prevention of crossed infection is fundamental in the daily management of dental treatment. To decrease the risk of crossed infection, several procedures should be adoptec; like the sterilization of rotating instruments. In this work was evatuated the effect of two sterilization methods (dry heat and humid heat) over the cutting effectiveness of two commercial different commercial national brands of diamond burs; one more expensive than the other, respectively KG Sorensen and FAVA. We used 18 specimens - diamond burs with cylindrical in shape - that after cutting dental enamel, on cicles of 12 minutes (totalizating 72 minutes), they were cleaned with a steel brush, followed by dry or humid heat sterilization, depending on the group to they belong. The diamond burs that belong to the control group were not sterilizating. After each sterilizating cicle, the test bodies were photographed on steremicroscope. The data obtained of the tests were submitted to statistical analysis of variance (5%) and Tukey test. From statistical analysis we conclude that there was loss of cutting effectiveness along the time; there was not superiority of a brand, and that the sterilization didn't interfere on cutting effectiveness of the studied brands
