Avaliação mecânica da colagem estrutural entre compósitos poliméricos e materiais metálicos utilizados em dutos petroquímicos

The development of technology for structural composites has as one of its ends form a set of materials that combine high values of mechanical strength and stiffness and low density. Today, companies like Embraer and PETROBRAS and research institutions like NASA, working with these materials with recognized advantages in terms of weight gain, increased performance and low corrosion. We have developed a systematic study to determine the bond strength between composite carbon fiber / epoxy and fiberglass / epoxy laminate both bonded to a carbon steel which are widely used in the petrochemical industry and repair. For morphological evaluation and bonding between materials of different natures, ultrasound analysis, optical microscopy and stereoscopy were performed. To simulate actual conditions, the composites were subjected to conditioning by using heat shock temperatures from -50 to 80 ° C for 1000 cycles for composite carbon fiber / epoxy composites and 2000 cycles for fiberglass / epoxy . The use of composites studied here proved to be efficient to perform repairs in metallic pipes with application petrochemical, as when exposed to sudden changes of temperature (-50 ° to 80 ° C) cycling at 1000 to 2000 times, its mechanical properties (shear and tensile) practically do not change

Efeito do tratamento da superfície dental com os lasers Nd:YAG e Er: Yag na adesão da resina composta à dentina recém clareada

To evaluate the effect of surface treatment with Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser on resin composite bond strength to recently bleached dentin. Material and Methods: In this study 120 bovine incisors were used and distributed into two groups: Group C: without bleaching treatment; Group B: with bleaching treatment (35% hydrogen peroxide). Each group was divided into three subgroups: Subgroup N: without laser treatment; Subgroup Nd: irradiation with Nd:YAG laser; Subgroup Er: irradiation with Er:YAG laser. Next, the adhesive system (Adper Single Bond 2) was applied and composite buildups were constructed with Z350 composite. The teeth were sectioned to obtain dentin-resin sticks (1x1mm) and analyzed by microtensile bond testing. The data were statistically analyzed by the ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results: The results showed that the bond strength values in the bleached control group (16.17 MPa) presented no significant difference in comparison with the group bleached and irradiated with Er:YAG laser (14.69 MPa). The non bleached control group (26.79 MPa) presented significant difference in bond strength when compared with the non bleached group irradiated with Er:YAG laser (22.82 MPa) and with the group treated by bleaching and irradiation with Nd:YAG laser (28,792 MPa). The group without bleaching treatment and irradiated with Nd:YAG (36.1 MPa) presented a significant increase in bond strength in comparison with the other groups. Conclusion: The use of Nd:YAG laser on bleached specimens was able of completely reversing the immediate effects of bleaching, obtaining bond strength values similar to those of the control group

Efeito de um gel de peróxido de carbamida a 10% sobre a resistência de união de restaurações adesivas à dentina

The present study aimed to analyze the effects of tooth bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) gel on the bond strength of resin composite restorations to dentin. Material and Methods: Twenty cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of bovine teeth. After acid etching and application of bonding agent on dentin and enamel, the cavities were restored with composite resin. The specimens were divided into groups according to treatment on the surface of enamel / restoration: G1 - control (no treatment) and G2 (10% PC gel application for 8h/day during 14 days). After this period, the teeth were cut to produce beams with 0.81 mm2 cross-sectional area, which were subjected to microtensile test. The fractures were examined with a stereomicroscope and classified as cohesive in resin or dentin, adhesive, or mixed. Results: The statistical analysis (ANOVA / χ2) revealed that the factor treatment interfered with the bond strength, which was significantly higher for specimens of G2 (p <0.05). Adhesive fractures occurred in most of specimens of both groups with values ranging from 48.3% to 75%. Mixed fractures were the second more frequent in G1 and cohesive resin failure in G2. Conclusion: It was concluded that tooth bleaching with 10% of PC increased the bond strength of adhesive restorations to dentin.

Influência do ciclo de sinterização da porcelana na adaptação marginal de infraestruturas de NiCrTi em função da biomecânica do preparo

A metal coping may undergo changes during porcelain firing, which compromises its marginal adaptation. The use of NiCrTi alloy proposes to minimize this effect through the high melting point of titanium present in its composition. This study evaluated the influence of porcelain firing cycle on the marginal adaptation of NiCrTi copings in different preparation designs. Forty standardized metal dies were fabricated with the following combinations finish line/convergence of the axial walls: 1) shoulder/6°; 2) shoulder/20°; 3) sloping shoulder/6°; 4) sloping shoulder/20°. On each die a metal ceramic restoration coping was made. The die/coping set was stabilized with orthodontic elastics, divided into four equidistant areas with three measurement points each and a cementation pressure was simulated. The measurements were taken under a stereomicroscope (32×). After the first measurement, the copings were submitted to sintering cycles simulating porcelain application. For repeated measurements, the same procedures described above were performed. Data were submitted to Student’s-t test, 1-way ANOVA and Tukey´s test (α = 0.05). Adaptation means (µm) before and after porcelain firing in different preparations were: 1) 111.92 and 127.31; 2) 124.15 and 135.48; 3) 122.19 and 138.77; 4) 166.09 and 186.72; respectively. The porcelain firing impaired adaptation, regardless of the preparation design. The preparation in a 20° sloping shoulder provided a worse adaptation when compared with preparations that had 6° and 20° shoulder, which were statistically equal. The 6° sloping shoulder was statistically equal to the other three preparation designs.

Visão contemporânea sobre pinos anatômicos

As an alternative to improve the adaptation of prefabricated posts in flared canals and weakened roots, the option is for relining prefabricated pin, known as a technique of anatomical post. This technique, which can be made with composite resin increases the adjustment post to the walls of the canal and reduces the cementing line, causing the retaining post is less dependent on the mechanical properties of the cementing agent. This article aims to provide an overview of anatomical posts, specifically in the last two decades, based on studies extracted from Scielo, Scopus and Pubmed, referring to the following terms of MeSH Data Base: custom made fiber post, indirect fiber glass posts, root canal therapy and post and core tecnique. According to the literature review in this article, it can be concluded that this technique has been used by several authors and has been shown effective and promising, it creates an individualized retainer with better adaptation and decreased mechanical imbrication cementing line .

Reabilitação estético-funcional sobre implantes agulhados e endósseos

This report shows the resolution of a case study whose aim was promote the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of upper left hemi-arch over endosseous and needle implant prostheses. To improve the position of the needle implants, we performed the bucco-palatal bending of needles splinting them with composite resin; we removed the screwed implant prosthesis in the regions of the premolars (24 and 25) and molar (26). The mini-abutments of the last two implants were replaced, and in the first premolar and canine, we used cemented abutments due to implant angulation having planned soldering because of implant size and contact with one needle implant that could interfere with intimate contact bone/implant damaging biomechanics. Pick-up impressions were performed with an open tray, using a retractor cord in the needle implants and respective transfer copings. Therefore, models were related on semi-adjustable articulator after a face-bow recording and interocclusal indexes. After working cast fabrication and try-in of infra-structures, these were adjusted and related into the articulator again. Then, after ceramic build-up, adjustments, finishing, and torque, chemically-activated resin cement was applied on units 21 to 24. At the end of the case, we concluded that a good aesthetic and functional rehabilitation depends on thorough knowledge of techniques for each clinical situation.

Técnica estrutural: confecção de pilar personalizado cerâmico para otimizar a estética

Na reabilitação protética com implantes, a reconstituição das características anatômicas do tecido peri-implantar é fundamental para a obtenção de uma estética ótima. Como os componentes metálicos não transmitem a luz, fazem com que os pacientes com fenótipos gengivais finos apresentem uma coloração escurecida, resultante da limitação estética desses componentes. Pilares cerâmicos (alumina ou zircônia) têm sido utilizados para resolver esse problema, os quais possibilitam a complementação com próteses metal free. A indústria fornece, para alguns sistemas, componentes pré-fabricados cerâmicos a serem personalizados por desgastes e componentes personalizados confeccionados com sistemas CAD/CAM e CAD/MAN. Tendo em vista as limitações de algumas das conexões desses componentes, o objetivo desse estudo é apresentar a técnica laboratorial para confecção de um pilar personalizado cerâmico realizado sobre pilar UCLA de sobrefundição. Concluiu-se que a utilização da cerâmica feldspática proporciona ótima estética, boa transparência, resistência mecânica, baixo custo, melhor capacidade adesiva, com utilização de cimentos resinosos, e, principalmente, técnica de amplo domínio dos laboratórios.
