RESUMO
Os defeitos de esmalte são alterações qualitativas ou quantitativas na estrutura dentária, que originam-se de fatores sistêmicos, locais ou genéticos. A hipoplasia de Turner é um defeito na espessura do esmalte localizado cuja etiologia decorre de um traumatismo ou infecção periapical presente no dente decíduo predecessor, afetando o desenvolvimento do dente permanente. O objetivo do presente estudo foi apresentar um caso clínico de paciente infantil com dente hipoplásico de Turner em pré-molar, que tornou-se não vital sem que houvesse lesão de cárie ou trauma adicional. Em razão das características clínicas e radiográficas do dente afetado, bem como do risco de cárie e do comportamento cooperador da paciente, optou-se pela reabilitação do elemento afetado por meio de tratamento endodôntico e de restauração semidireta em resina composta. Torna-se de fundamental importância o conhecimento da etiologia e a realização de um exame clínico e radiográfico minucioso visando ao diagnóstico precoce e à elaboração de um plano de tratamento adequado para todos os defeitos de desenvolvimento do esmalte, incluindo-se a hipoplasia de Turner, cujo tratamento dependerá da severidade da alteração, do comportamento do paciente e do risco de cárie. Sugere-se a realização de estudos que associem a microestrutura do esmalte hipoplásico com a ausência de vitalidade pulpar.
Enamel defects are qualitative or quantitative changes in the tooth structure originating from systemic, local, or genetic factors. Turner's hypoplasia is a defect in the thickness of the localized enamel whose etiology arises from trauma or periapical infection in the predecessor deciduous tooth, affecting the permanent tooth's development. The objective of the present study was to present a clinical case of a child patient with a hypoplastic Turner premolar tooth, which became non-vital without the occurrence of caries, or additional trauma. Due to the affected tooth's clinical and radiographic characteristics, the risk of cavities, and the patient's cooperative behavior, it was decided to rehabilitate the affected element through endodontic treatment and semidirect restoration in composite resin. It is of fundamental importance to know the etiology and carry out a thorough clinical and radiographic examination aiming at early diagnosis and the development of an adequate treatment plan for all enamel developmental defects, including Turner's hypoplasia, whose treatment will depend on the severity of the change, the patient's behavior and the risk of caries. Studies are suggested to be carried out that associate the microstructure of hypoplastic enamel with the absence of pulp vitality.

The aim of this review was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease, malocclusion, and tooth wear in indigenous in Brazil. A systematic review of observational studies was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines (CRD42020218704). The search strategy involved the electronic databases of Embase, LILACS, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the CAPES Theses and Dissertations for gray literature. The eligibility criteria consisted of publications that assessed the prevalence of oral conditions in indigenous populations in Brazil. Studies with indigenous people living in urban area were excluded. The risk of bias was evaluated by using JBI Critical Appraisal for prevalence studies. Thirty studies were included in the review, and the majority showed a low risk of bias. A meta-analysis of 20 studies was conducted using the random-effects model and a 95% confidence interval. Several ethnicities were studied in isolation or in groups (n = 7,627 for dental caries; n = 2,774 for periodontal disease; n = 1,067 for malocclusion; n = 150 for tooth wear). The prevalence of caries ranged from 50% among indigenous people aged 18-36 months to 100% among those aged 65-74 years. The prevalence of periodontal disease ranged from 58% to 83%. The prevalence of malocclusion was 43%. Tooth wear was assessed in only one ethnic group and showed a prevalence of 100% in indigenous people aged >18 years. The certainty of evidence assessed by the GRADE system ranged from very low to moderate. This systematic review showed significant differences in the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease and malocclusion between indigenous population groups and territories in which indigenous people live.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the prevalence of pulp stones (PS) in permanent teeth and calcified atherosclerotic plaques (CAP). METHODS: An electronic search was performed in 10 databases to locate observational studies that investigated the association between PS in permanent teeth and CAP, published until March 2022. Two reviewers performed the search, selection and extraction of data from eligible studies. The individual risk of bias of eligible studies was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. The meta-analysis was conducted using fixed and random effects and odds ratio (OR) as an effect measure with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The heterogeneity between the studies was quantified using the I² test. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach. RESULTS: The electronic search resulted in 2968 records, of which only 7 studies were considered eligible. The total sample consisted of 3770 participants from 5 countries. All studies showed biases of confounding factors and exposure assessment. Based on six studies and with very low certainty of evidence, the meta-analysis showed that patients with PS were more likely to also have CAP in carotid or coronary arteries (OR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.21; 2.38, I² = 0%). CONCLUSIONS: Limited evidence suggests that there is a positive association between the prevalence of PS in permanent teeth detected using panoramic radiography and CAP in the coronary or carotid arteries.

AIMS/OBJECTIVES: Dental trauma is a highly prevalent dental emergency. Children and adolescents without inadequate lip coverage, increased overjet, and anterior open bite are associated with the occurrence of traumatic dental injuries. Observational studies do not allow the inference of causality, one of the reasons being: the potential confounding factors. Therefore, this review aimed to critically appraise the confounding factors considered in epidemiological studies that associate dentofacial features with the occurrence of dental trauma in Brazilian children and adolescents. METHODS: Studies included in the qualitative synthesis of a recently published comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis on the topic were screened. Studies that only mentioned the performance of bivariate analyzes or that did not mention the performance of multivariate analyzes were excluded. Evaluation of control statements for possible confounders and bias consideration was performed for each selected study. Confounding factors in these studies were also identified and categorized according to their domains. RESULTS: Fifty-five observational studies were screened, of which 11 were excluded due to the mention of only bivariate analyzes or the lack of multivariate analyses. The remaining 44 studies were critically appraised. Of these, 9 studies specifically mentioned the term confounding, and 12 studies mentioned the term bias. However, only 14 studies mentioned limitations on confounding factors in their findings. Among the 99 different variables identified, the most used were type of trauma, followed by sex and age. CONCLUSION: Most studies did not acknowledge the control for possible confounding factors and rarely stressed the need for caution in interpreting their results. Cross-sectional studies do not allow inferring a cause-and-effect relationship between dentofacial features and dental trauma.

RESUMO
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the shaping ability of reciprocating and continuous rotary systems after root canal retreatment. After preparation and root canal filling, mesial canals of 54 mandibular molars were distributed into 3 groups (n=18), according to the filling material removal and re-instrumentation protocols: WOG group - WaveOne Gold system; PTN group - ProTaper Next system; and PTU group - ProTaper Universal system. Cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images acquisition of the mesial root canals was performed at different moments: (1) before instrumentation (unprepared root canals), (2) after preparation and filling, (3) after filling material removal and (4) re-instrumentation. The apical transportation (AT), centering ability (CA) and change in root canal diameter were assessed by CBCT analysis. The remaining filling material quantification was performed by radiographic examination. The statistical analyses were performed using the 3-way ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn multiple Comparison tests (p<0.05). The tested instruments did not show full CA (=1.0). PTN group had greater AT at the 5th mm in comparison with the WOG group (p<0.05). After re-instrumentation, WOG group had greater root canal diameter change at the 1st and 5th mm than PTN and PTU groups (p<0.05). There was no significant difference among groups when comparing the amount of remaining filling material after re-instrumentation (p>0.05). The tested systems provided minimal alteration in root canal morphology at the apical portion after root canal retreatment. However, WOG promoted greater change in root canal diameter.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar a capacidade de modelagem de sistemas rotatórios e reciprocantes após o retratamento do canal radicular. Após o preparo e obturação do canal radicular, os canais mesiais de 54 molares inferiores foram distribuídos em 3 grupos, de acordo com os protocolos de remoção do material obturador e re-instrumentação: (n=18): grupo WOG - sistema WaveOne Gold; Grupo PTN - sistema ProTaper Next; e grupo PTU - sistema ProTaper Universal. A análise das imagens de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico foi realizada em diferentes momentos: (1) antes da instrumentação (canais radiculares não preparados), (2) após o preparo e obturação, (3) após a remoção do material obturador e (4) re-instrumentação. O transporte apical (TA), a capacidade de centralização (CC) e a mudança no diâmetro do canal radicular foram avaliados por análise tomográfica. A quantificação do restante do material obturador foi realizada por exame radiográfico. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas utilizando os testes de ANOVA de 3 fatores, Tukey-Kramer, Kruskal-Wallis e Comparações Múltiplas de Dunn (p<0,05). Os instrumentos não apresentaram CC perfeita (=1,0). PTN apresentou maior TA no 5º mm em comparação ao grupo WOG (p<0,05). Após a re-instrumentação, o grupo WOG apresentou maior aumento no diâmetro do canal radicular no 1° e 5° mm do que os grupos PTN e PTU. Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos em relação à remoção do material obturador (p>0,05). Os sistemas testados proporcionaram alteração mínima na morfologia do canal radicular na porção apical após o retratamento do canal radicular. No entanto, WOG promoveu maior alteração no diâmetro do canal radicular.
RESUMO
This study aimed to evaluate the impact and operating strategies that the undergraduate dental programs in Brazil have adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic.A web survey approach was performed in May/June 2020. All coordinators of dental programs in Brazil were contacted by e-mail and invited to answer an online questionnaire consisting of eight questions on four domains: suspension of academic activities, activities maintained, teaching alternatives offered and changes in planning after the pandemic outbreak. The response rate was analyzed by stratifying the program's legal nature, result of the national performance assessment and time of the establishment of the programs. The data from the responses to the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Of a total of 481 programs, 230 responded to the survey (47.8%). The response rate was 100% for public programs and 40.8% for private programs. Most programs (83.3%) suspended all presential activities, and a small portion maintained onlyemergency care. Few programs completely suspended activities (16.7%), while most maintained theoretical activities using virtual environments (Google Meet or Hangouts, Zoom or Microsoft Teams). Most programs (50%) organized discussions to ensure the graduation of senior students and adopted alternative means for student assessment (30%). Planning the return of activities mainly involves adaptation to the protocols for clinical care (86.3%) and social distancing (82.4%). The pandemic directly impacted the functioning of Brazilian dental programs by causing the total suspension of practical activities and migration of theoretical activities to virtual environments (AU).

This review aims to evaluate whether root canal obturation with calcium silicate-based (CSB) sealers reduces the risk and intensity of endodontic postoperative pain when compared to epoxy resin-based (ERB) sealers. The review was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020169255). Two independent reviewers conducted an electronic search in PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and LILACS until November 2020 and included only randomized clinical trials with adult health participants undergoing root canal treatment. After selection, the JBI Critical Appraisal tool was used to assess the risk of bias. A fixed-effect meta-analysis was performed to summarize the results of pain risk and pain intensity at time intervals of 24 and 48 hours. Finally, the certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. The search resulted in 1,206 records, of which five studies (n = 421 patients) met the eligibility criteria and presented moderate to low risk of bias. There was no significant difference between groups in the risk of pain in the first 24 hours (relative risk or RR = 0.83, 95% confidence interval or CI: 0.60, 1.16, I 2 =) or 48 hours (RR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.26, 1.21, I 2 =). Silicate-based sealers led to lower pain intensity only at 48 hours (mean and standard deviation = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.69, 0.05). All analyses revealed low heterogeneity (I 2 < 25%). The evidence presented moderate level of certainty. Currently available evidence has shown that there is no difference between CSB and ERB sealers in the risk or intensity of postoperative pain.
RESUMO
The aim of this prospective, randomized, clinical study was to analyze the influence of occlusal adjustment on the prevalence of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment. Seventy-eight patients, diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with indication for endodontic treatment, were selected to participate in the study. The participants were randomized and divided into two groups: in the occlusal adjustment group (OAG), endodontic treatment was performed with subsequent occlusal adjustment. In the control group (CG), endodontic treatment was performed without occlusal adjustment. Treatments were performed by the same operator. Pain occurrence and intensity were recorded on two scales: the verbal rating scale (VRS) and numerical rating scale (NRS). Pain assessment was carried out by a second examiner, blinded to the experiment, 6, 24 and 72 h after endodontic treatment. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney, chi-squared, and Fisher's exact tests. In the occlusal adjustment group, 71.1% reported postoperative pain and 67.5% reported pain in the control group. At the 6-hour assessment, 21 individuals reported pain in the occlusal adjustment group and 24 in the control group (p=0.672). At the 24-hour assessment, 18 and 19 individuals reported pain (p=0.991) and at the 72-hour assessment, 8 and 4 reported pain (p=0.219), respectively. Occlusal adjustment did not influence the prevalence of postoperative pain of endodontically treated teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo prospectivo, randomizado e clínico foi analisar a influência do ajuste oclusal na prevalência de dor pós-operatória após o tratamento endodôntico. Setenta e oito pacientes, diagnosticados com pulpite irreversível sintomática com indicação de tratamento endodôntico, foram selecionados para participar do estudo. Os participantes foram randomizados e divididos em dois grupos: no grupo de ajuste oclusal (GAO), foi realizado tratamento endodôntico com posterior ajuste oclusal. No grupo controle (GC), o tratamento endodôntico foi realizado sem ajuste oclusal. Os tratamentos foram realizados pelo mesmo operador. A ocorrência e a intensidade da dor foram registradas em duas escalas: a escala de classificação verbal (VRS) e a escala de classificação numérica (NRS). A avaliação da dor foi realizada por um segundo examinador, cego para o experimento, 6, 24 e 72 horas após o tratamento endodôntico. Os dados foram analisados utilizando testes de Mann-Whitney, qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher. No grupo de ajuste oclusal, 71,1% relataram dor pós-operatória e 67,5% relataram dor no grupo controle. Na avaliação de 6 horas, 21 indivíduos relataram dor no grupo de ajuste oclusal e 24 no grupo controle (p=0,672). Na avaliação de 24 horas, 18 e 19 indivíduos relataram dor (p=0,991) e, na avaliação de 72 horas, 8 e 4 relataram dor (p=0,219), respectivamente. O ajuste oclusal não influenciou a prevalência de dor pós-operatória após o tratamento endodôntico em dentes com pulpite irreversível sintomática.

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of Ibuprofen and the application of photobiomodulation therapy protocol on the reduction of postoperative pain in endodontically treated teeth using a randomized clinical trial design. Seventy patients, diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, were selected. Treatment was performed by a single operator; a reciprocal system was used to prepare the canals; they were obturated using the Tagger's hybrid technique and coronally sealed with glass-ionomer cement. After treatment, patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the active control group, two Ibuprofen 600 mg tablets were administered within a 12-h interval. In the photobiomodulation therapy group, the irradiation was applied after treatment. The evaluation of postoperative pain was performed by another researcher blinded to the groups at 6, 12, 24, and 72 h intervals after treatment. To measure the outcome, two pain scales were used: numerical rate scale (NRS) and verbal rate scale (VRS). Data were analyzed using the chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon paired tests. Outcome was superior with photobiomodulation therapy at 6 h (p < 0.001), 12 h (p = 0.005), and 24 h (p < 0.001) intervals compared with Ibuprofen. The results for the 72 h (p = 0.317) interval were similar, both in the VRS and NRS scales. It may be concluded that the use of photobiomodulation therapy was effective in reducing pain within the first 24 h when compared with the administration of Ibuprofen 600 mg.

Non-surgical endodontic retreatment should always be the first option for reintervention when the initial endodontic treatment fails. The surgical treatment, called periradicular surgery, will be the procedure of choice when there is no success after the conventional endodontic retreatment. The purpose of this article is to describe clinical case of endodontic surgery, associated with guided tissue regeneration (GTR). A male patient, 24 years old, was referred for endodontic surgery on tooth 12 after two unsuccessful endodontic interventions. During the surgery, osteotomy, lesion curettage, apicectomy, retrograde obturation with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), and filling of the bone failure with lyophilized bone and reabsorbable collagen membrane were performed. After six months of follow-up, the patient did not present any type of painful symptomatology. The endodontic surgery, associated with a technique of guided tissue regeneration, was efficient to solve this clinical case. (AU)
O retratamento endodôntico não cirúrgico deve sempre ser a primeira opção de reintervenção quando o tratamento endodôntico inicial falha. Já o tratamento cirúrgico, ou cirurgia parendodôntica, será o procedimento de escolha quando não há sucesso após o retratamento endodôntico convencional. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever um caso clínico de cirurgia parendodôntica, associada à regeneração tecidual guiada (RTG). O paciente, gênero masculino, 24 anos, foi encaminhado para cirurgia parendodôntica no dente 12 após duas intervenções endodônticas sem sucesso. Durante a cirurgia foram realizadas manobras de osteotomia, curetagem da lesão, apicectomia, obturação retrógrada com Mineral Trióxido Agregado (MTA), além de preenchimento da falha óssea com osso liofilizado e membrana de colágeno reabsorvível. Após seis meses de acompanhamento do caso, o paciente não apresentou nenhum tipo de sintomatologia dolorosa. A cirurgia parendodôntica, associada à técnica de regeneração tecidual guiada, foi eficiente para solucionar este caso clínico. (AU).
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the apical transportation and centering ability promoted by reciprocating and continuous rotary systems after root canal filling removal. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After obturation, 40 mesial root canals of mandibular molars were distributed into four groups (n = 20) for filling material removal: PTU group-F2 instrument (25.08) of ProTaper Universal system; R25 group-R25 instrument (25.08) of Reciproc system; X2 group-X2 instrument (25.06) of ProTaper Next system and X3 group-X2 instrument (25.06) of ProTaper Next system, followed by X3 instrument (30.07). Cone-beam computed tomographic analysis was performed before and after filling material removal for acquisition of apical images. Apical transportation (AT) and its direction, and centering ability (CA), were assessed using the equations AT = (X1-X2)-(Y1-Y2) and CA = (X1-X2/Y1-Y2 or Y1-Y2/X1-X2), respectively. Data were submitted to the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn multiple comparison tests (p < 0.05) for statistical analysis. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference among groups for AT (p > 0.05), with a tendency toward transportation in the distal direction. Also, there was no statistically significant difference among groups regarding CA (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The different systems, including ProTaper Next, caused AT within the acceptable clinical limit after filling removal. In addition, none of the tested systems presented adequate CA.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this prospective, randomized, clinical study was to assess the effect of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) with low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) on postoperative pain after endodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty patients, diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis in lower molar teeth, participated in the study. All treatments were performed by a single operator. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: in the experimental group (EG), endodontic treatment was performed with a reciprocating system, immediately followed by PBM with LLLI; and only endodontic treatment was performed in the control group (CG). Postoperative pain was assessed by a second examiner, who was blinded, using two scales: verbal rating scale (VRS) and numerical rating scale (NRS). Assessment was carried out at 6, 12, and 24 h after treatment. Data were analyzed using chi-squared, Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney tests, ordinal, and non-parametric regression analyses. RESULTS: For the prevalence of pain, the difference between the groups was significant for the evaluations performed after 6 h (p = 0.04) and 24 h (p = 0.02). The difference after 24 h remained significant after stratification by sex and extrusion of filling material. Increased pain intensity was associated with extrusion of root canal filling material to the periapical region in the two scales used. CONCLUSION: The effect of PBM therapy after endodontic treatment showed a significant decreasein prevalence of postoperative pain. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The PBM reduces the prevalence of postoperative pain and may benefit patients who need endodontic treatment.

Este artigo relata a experiência de uma Faculdade de Odontologia durante o processo de construção e implementação de um novo projeto pedagógico (PP). O PP foi reformulado desde a caracterização do curso com as discussões sobre perfil de egresso, passando pela estrutura de funcionamento, objetivos, matriz curricular, estágios e concepção metodológica. Durante 12 meses foram utilizadas diversas ferramentas para sensibilização do corpo docente, incluindo a realização de semanas pedagógicas, oficinas, encontros pedagógicos e discussões nas assembleias docentes. O novo currículo foi implementado em 2012 evidenciando a interdisciplinaridade, a formatação de ambulatórios integrados e um estágio curricular obrigatório que compreende mais de 40% da matriz curricular entre atividades intra e extramuros. Dificuldades foram encontradas durante a implementação e a comunidade acadêmica buscou ferramentas para minimizá-las, fazendo com que o projeto continue dinâmico e amadureça a cada ano (AU).

Objetivo: Instrumentos endodônticos de movimentos reciprocante estão entre as últimas inovações para o preparo do sistema de canais radiculares. O objetivo desse estudo piloto foi comparar o desvio apical promovido por sistemas reciprocantes e rotatório em canais simulados. Material e método: Quarenta e cinco canais simulados foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em três grupos experimentais (n=15), de acordo com o sistema utilizado para realização do preparo: Grupo PT - sistema ProTaper; Grupo RP - sistema Reciproc e Grupo WO - sistema WaveOne. O desvio apical foi avaliado por meio da análise de imagens obtidas pré e pós-instrumentação de cada canal simulado, com auxílio do programa ImageJ. Resultados: Todos os grupos apresentaram algum nível de desvio apical. O grupo PT apresentou maior desvio aos 2 mm, com diferença estatisticamente significante em relação aos demais grupos (p<0,05). Quando comparada a média dos 3 mm apicais, somente houve diferença significativa entre os grupos PT e RP (p<0,05). Conclusão: Nenhum dos sistemas testados, reciprocante ou rotatório, foi capaz de manter a posição original do forame apical após o preparo do canal simulado.
Objective: Endodontic instruments of reciprocating motion are among the latest innovations for root canal system preparation. The aim of this pilot study was to compare the apical deviation promoted by reciprocating and rotary systems in simulated canals. Methods: Forty-five simulated canals were randomly distributed into three experimental groups (n=15), according to the system used for preparation: PT group - ProTaper system; RP group - Reciproc and WO group - WaveOne system. The apical deviation was assessed by analysis of pre- and post-instrumentation images of each simulated canal, with the aid of the ImageJ software. Results: All groups presented some level of apical deviation. The PT group presented greater deviation at 2 mm, with statistically significant difference in comparison with the other groups (p<0.05). When compared the average of the final apical 3 mm, there was significant difference only between PT and RP groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: None of the tested systems, reciprocating or rotary, were able to maintain the original position of the apical foramen after preparation of the simulated canal.
RESUMO
Abstract This study aimed at evaluating the changes in surface characteristics and NiTi content of reciprocating and rotary instruments after continuous use. Thirty brand-new instruments were assigned to 3 groups (n=10): PNX1 Group - ProTaper Next system - instrument X1; PNX2 Group - ProTaper Next system - instrument X2 and WO Group - WaveOne system - Primary instrument 25.08. The instruments were used to prepare 60 simulated root canals. Analysis of surface characteristics by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical analysis of Ni and Ti content by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were performed before and after the first and third use of the instruments. Only WO Group had significant increase in the quantity of defects and deformations after the third use (p<0.05). PNX1 Group had significant decrease in Ni content after the third use, in comparison with the unused instruments (p<0.05). PNX1 Group had no decrease in Ti content throughout the time of use (p>0.05), however, in PNX2 Group, there was significant decrease in the different time interval of analysis (p<0.05). Continuous use promoted increase in defects and deformations only for WaveOne instruments. Chemical composition presented significant changes according to the time of instruments use.
Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as alterações nas características de superfície e teor de NiTi de instrumentos reciprocantes e rotatórios após uso contínuo. Trinta instrumentos novos foram separados em três grupos (n=10): Grupo PNX1 - ProTaper Next system - instrumento X1; Grupo PNX2 - ProTaper Next system - instrumento X2 e Grupo WO - WaveOne system - instrumento Primary 25.08. Os instrumentos foram utilizados para o preparo de 60 canais radiculares simulados. Análise por microscopia eletronica de varredura (MEV), a análise química do conteúdo de Ni e Ti por espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EED) foram realizadas antes e após o primeiro e terceiro uso dos instrumentos. Apenas o Grupo WO apresentou aumento significativo na quantidade de defeitos e deformações após o terceiro uso (p<0,05). O grupo PNX1 teve diminuição significativa no teor de Ni após o terceiro uso, em comparação aos instrumentos não utilizados (p<0,05). O grupo PNX1 não apresentou diminuição do teor de Ti ao longo do tempo de uso (p>0,05), no entanto, no Grupo PNX2, houve diminuição significativa nos diferentes intervalos de tempo de análise (p<0,05). O uso contínuo promoveu aumento nos defeitos e deformações somente para os instrumentos WaveOne. A composição química apresentou alterações significativas de acordo com o tempo de uso dos instrumentos.
