Avaliação de Diferentes Compósitos na Resistência à Fratura de Núcleos de Preenchimento

Objective: To evaluate and compare the fracture strength of different composite resins used for core buildup. Method: Thirty-six bovine teeth were decoronated at the cervical third to standardize the length of specimens at 20 mm. Under constant irrigation, the canals were prepared with #5 Largo drills corresponding to the size and diameter of #3 Reforpost fiberglass post. The posts were cemented with Enforce resin sealer, being 16 mm inside the root canal and 4 mm outside the root canal, and the material was light-activated for 30 seconds at each side. The specimens were divided into 3 groups (n=12), in which cores (4 mm diameter and 5 mm high) were prepared from a prefabricated standard with three types of composite resins: Group 1: Z100 (3M), Group 2: Z250 (3M) and Group 3: P60 (3M). The specimens were fixed in a cylindrical device with an adaptor at 45o inclination. This device was adapted to a universal testing machine (EMIC) to simulate the force until fracture of the specimen. Data were subjected to ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: The Z250 resin cores presented the highest mean fracture strength (45.453 kgf), while the mean fracture strengths in Group 1 and Group 3 were 38.014 and 39.506 kgf, respectively. P60 caused the largest number of root fractures. Conclusion: Considering the characteristics and properties of the tested resins, Z250 appears as the most indicated for core buildup.

Flexão e análise dinâmico-mecânica de compósitos 5HS e NCF com resina epóxi monocomponente produzidos por RTM

In order to study resin distribution and homogeneity of composite laminates manufactured by RTM, it was used CYCOM 890 monolithic toughened epoxy as a matrix with two different configurations of intermediated modulus (IM) carbon fibers: Satin Weave (5HS) and non crimp fabric (NCF). The injection parameters were defined based on Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TG), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and rheological analysis. After processing the material, the resin/fiber impregnation was studied using ultrasonic test, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and flexural tests. Therefore, it was able to observe an internal residual stress during the cooling process in both laminates, higher in the composite using NCF fabric due to the lack of symmetry, although a good proportion of fiber/matrix has been verified by the lower values of flexural modulus deviation. The DMA enabled the visualization of glass transition and its association with the inter and intra molecular interaction and movement, in which the NCF composite presented better permeability due to the lowest temperature of glass transition, when compared to the Satin Weave composite

Variáveis que afetam o procedimento de colagem direta ortodôntica: braquetes e materiais adesivos

Following the introduction of the acid-etching technique in enamel surface, direct attachment of orthodontic appliances on the surface of the tooth and/or restorations became a routine procedure in the assembly of the fixed devices. The attainment of a success result is related to the criterion attention to the details and the steps of the bonding technique, as well as, to the knowledge of the characteristics of the adhesive materials and orthodontic brackets. This paper presents some aspects of various types of brackets and adhesives materials.

Variáveis que afetam o procedimento de colagem direta ortodôntica: procedimentos clinicos

Direct bonding of orthodontics attachments to the teeth or restoration has become a routine in fixed appliance therapy. The technique used seems to be simple, but meticulous attention to detail and steps, a thorough understanding of factors involved are needed to ensure a successful outcome into different surfaces. It is the purpose of this article to review concerning aspects to orthodontic bonding in enamel and restorations fabricated from different materials; affording assistance to the reader wiser accomplishment and successful procedure.

Protese total fixa em função imediata confeccionada em resina composta indireta

Immediate functioning of osseointegrated implants has been widely employed in edentulous patients due to its safety and high predictability. However, viability and success of immediate-loaded implants is defined by factors such as number of implants, distribution and splinting, as well as reduction of oblique loads and excessive occlusal contacts. The indirect composite resin-modified glass enable building of a highly aesthetic prosthesis, combining satisfactory resistance and better force dissipation on occlusal loading. This article describes a resin composite, mandibular fixed prosthesis on osseointegrated implants in immediate function.

Efeitos de diferentes sistemas de clareamento dental sobre a rugosidade e morfologia superficial do esmalte e de uma resina composta restauradora

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the roughness and superficial morphology of enamel and a composite restorative resin after different bleaching techniques application. Material and Methods: Bovine incisors were selected and standardized cavities were prepared on the buccal surface, which were restored with composite resin. The teeth were distributed according to the following treatments: G1- bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP); G2 - bleaching with 38% hydrogen peroxide (HP); and G3 - bleaching with 38% of HP associated to light irradiation. For G1, the bleaching gel was applied for 8 hours daily during 21 days. For G2 and G3, 3 sessions were performed, consisting of 3 applications of 15 minutes each, with 7 days of intervals between the sessions. For G3, the LED (470nm) light was used to activate the bleaching agent for 6 minutes. The surface of enamel and composite resin were evaluated before and after the bleaching procedures using a roughness tester and an atomic force microscope. Results: The results showed significant differences in surface roughness of enamel after bleaching only for G1 (Wilcoxon, p<0.05). For composite resin, neither group showed a statistical difference compared to control (Mann-Whitney, p>0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the increase in the roughness of enamel occurred only after bleaching therapy using a gel with 10% of CP. The bleaching procedures evaluated in this investigation did not increase the roughness or cause changes in the superficial morphology of the composite resin.

Transformação cosmética de caninos em incisivos laterais: uma abordagem sistemática

A agenesia de dentes do grupamento anterossuperior é de fácil percepção pelo leigo por afetar a estética do sorriso, sendo esse o motivo principal da busca por tratamento nesses casos. Atualmente, as diferentes opções de tratamento ampliam as possibilidades clínicas mas também trazem dúvidas e discussões sobre qual abordagem seria a ideal. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar, por meio da execução de um caso clínico, os parâmetros de importância no planejamento da transformação de caninos em incisivos laterais pelo uso da técnica restauradora direta com resinas compostas. Com o avanço das propriedades mecânicas, das cores e técnicas de estratificação dos materiais compósitos atuais, resultados altamente estéticos e mais duráveis podem ser conquistados. Em casos de agenesia de incisivos laterais e reposicionamento de caninos, a reanatomização com resinas compostas em incisivos laterais é um procedimento viável e com previsibilidade de resultados quando um método multidisciplinar e racional de trabalho é utilizado pela equipe odontológica.
