Lesões de cárie em esmalte submetidas a diferentes tratamentos com flúor tópico in situ

O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar se a aplicação tópica de flúor fosfato acidulado (FFA) em alta concentração tem efeito adicional no controle de lesões de esmalte, comparado ao uso de dentifrício fluoretado (baixa concentração). A freqüência de FFA como auxiliar no tratamento de lesões de cárie e a deposição de flúor no esmalte após diferentes aplicações de flúor am alta e baixa concentração também foram avaliadas. Para tanto, 5 indivíduos utilizaram, por 42 dias, próteses parciais removíveis inferiores contendo blocos de esmalte bovino desmineralizados. Os espécimes de esmalte forma divididos em 5 grupos: (1) escovação 3 vezes ao dia com dentifrício fluoretado (DF) (1100 ppm F), (2) DF+1 aplicação tópica FFA (12300 ppm F), (3) DF+2 FFA, (4) DF+3 FFA, e 5) DF+4 FFA. O intervalo entre as aplicações foi de uma semana. Cinco blocos hígidos e 5 blocos desmineralizados foram utilizados como controle e não foram submetidos ao período intraoral. As alterações clínicas foram registradas com relação à textura, coloração e brilho superficiais. Análises de microdureza superficial (MS) e em cortes longitudinais (MCL), de rugosidade superficial (RS) e de conteúdo de flúor depositado no esmalte foram realizadas. Modificações clínicas semelhantes de coloração foram observadas em todos os grupos após formação da lesão in vitro, apesar da ausência de mudanças na textura e brilho superficiais. Após escovação e tratamento com flúor, todos os blocos desmineralizados (esbranquiçados), independentemente do tratamento, tornaram-se mais amarelados. Não foram detectadas mudanças na textura e brilho superficiais. Os valores de MS e de conteúdo de flúor aumentaram (p<0,05) em relação aos blocos demineralizados somente a partir de 2 FFA. Os valores de MCL não mostraram diferenças entre os blocos tratados e os desmineralizados em qualquer distância da superfície do esmalte. Os grupos DF+3 FFA e DF+ 4 FFA foram os únicos capazes de aumentar os valores de MS em relação aos blocos desmineralizados. Estes tratamentos levaram a um aumento significativo de flúor solúvel e insolúvel comparado aos espécimes hígidos e desmineralizados. Ainda que todas as lesões tenham sido controladas clinicamente e não mostrem diferenças de microdureza, parece que aquelas tratadas com maior número de FFA produziram um maior reservatório de flúor disponível para inibir novos processos de desmineralização.

Avaliação in situ da composição do biofilme e da progressão de lesões cariosas em esmalte de dentes decíduos e permanentes humanos, na presença e na ausência de dentifrício fluoretado

Evidências na literatura sugerem que a velocidade de progressão de cárie pode ser influenciada por diversos fatores, entre eles as peculiaridades químicas, morfológicas e fisiológicas pertinentes aos dentes decíduos e permanentes. Estas informações são fundamentais para a correta abordagem clínica do paciente odontopediátrico, principalmente quando esta não for invasiva. Este estudo in situ avaliou a progressão de lesões cariosas em esmalte de dentes decíduos e permanentes, em um mesmo desenho experimental, na presença e na ausência de dentifrício fluoretado (1100 ppm NaF). Onze voluntários, em duas fases distintas, utilizaram um dispositivo palatino de acrílico contendo blocos de esmalte decíduos e permanentes. Estes blocos foram tratados com sacarose 20%, 8x/dia, por 7, 14 e 21 dias. O biofilme formado sobre os blocos dentários foi coletado para análise bioquímica e as perdas minerais dos mesmos foram acessadas através da inspeção visual (IV), microdureza transversa (∆Z) e microscopia de luz polarizada (MLP). Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste de Tukey (p=0,05) e mostraram que o biofilme formado na presença de dentifrício fluoretado apresentou maiores (p<0,05) concentrações de Ca, Pi, F que o tratado com dentifrício placebo. A concentração de PI foi significativamente maior no biofilme tratado com dentifrício placebo. Os fatores substrato, dentifrício e tempo influenciaram de forma significativa nas perdas minerais mensuradas através da IV, ∆Z e MLP. Em todos os períodos e fases estudadas, a velocidade de progressão de cárie no esmalte do dente decíduo foi maior que no permanente (p<0,05).

Efetividade do clareamento dentário com peróxido de carbamida a 10% e avaliação dos efeitos adversos sobre o esmalte dentário

The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness and adverse effects on dental enamel caused by nightguard vital bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide. This was accomplished through the interaction of researchers from different areas such as dentistry, materials engineering and physics. Fifty volunteers took part in the doubleblind randomized controlled clinical trial. They were allocated to an experimental group that used Opalescence PF 10% (OPA) and a control group that used a placebo gel (PLA). Fragments of human dental enamel from the vestibular surface of healthy premolars, extracted for orthodontic reasons, were fixed to the vestibular surface of the first upper molars of the volunteers for in situ observation. Bleaching was performed at night for 21 days. The observation periods included Baseline (BL), T0 (21 days), T30 (30 days after treatment) and T180 (180 days after treatment, only for the OPA group). Tooth color was assessed by comparing it with the Vita® scale and by the degree of satisfaction expressed by the volunteer. We also assessed adverse clinical effects, dental sensitivity and gingival bleeding. The study of adverse effects on enamel was conducted in vivo and in situ, using the DIAGNOdent® laser fluorescence device to detect mineral loss. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to check for superficial morphological alterations, energy dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS) to semiquantitatively assess chemical composition using the Ca/P ratio, and the x-ray diffraction (XRD) technique to observe alterations in enamel microstructure. The results showed that nightguard vital bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide was effective in 96% of the cases, versus 8% for the PLA group. Dental sensitivity was present in 36% (9/25) of the cases. There was no significant association between gingival bleeding and the type of gel used (p = 1.00). In vivo laser fluorescence analysis showed no difference in values for the control group, whereas in the OPA group there was a statistically significant difference between baseline values in relation to the subsequent periods (p<0.01), with lower mean values for post-bleaching times. There was a significant difference between the groups for times T0 and T30. Micrographic analysis showed no enamel surface alterations related to the treatment performed. No significant alteration in Ca/P ratio was observed in the OPA group (p = 0.624) or in the PLA group (p = 0.462) for each of the observation periods, nor between the groups studied (p=0.102). The XRD pattern for both groups showed the presence of three-phase Hydroxyapatite according to JCPDS files (9-0432[Ca5(PO4)3(OH)], 18-0303[Ca3(PO4)2.xH2O] and 25-0166[Ca5(PO4)3(OH, Cl, F)]). No other peak associated to other phases was found, independent of the group analyzed, which reveals there was no disappearance, nucleation or phase transformation. Neither was there any alteration in peak pattern location. With the methodology and protocol used in this study, nightguard vital bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide proved to be an effective and safe procedure for dental enamel

Efetividade do flúor e da escovação e eficácia dos materiais de colagem ionômero de vidro e resina composta na reversão das microporosidades criadas pelo condicionamento ácido no esmalte dentário

The objectives of this clinical study was to evaluate the use of the toothpaste with fluoride and without fluoride and the daily tooth brushing are effective in the reversion of the dental enamel conditioned by acid. Another objective of this clinical study was to evaluate if the positioning of orthodontic accessories with glass ionomer cement helps in the reversion of the dental enamel conditioned by acid, when compared to composed resin. One hundred and twenty teeth were selected with indication of extraction by orthodontic reasons. The 30 volunteers were divided, randomly, in two groups. A group used toothpaste without fluoride and the other with it. The teeth of the sample were shuffled, in each volunteer. The teeth were conditioned by the 37% orthophosphoric acid. One of the conditioned teeth stayed in the mouth and suffered action of the abrasion for the tooth brushing, in another teeth a stainless steel mesh protection was positioned with glass ionomer cement, in another tooth the screen was glued with composed resin, in a fourth tooth (the control) was only conditioned after the extractions, 60 days later. All the teeth were appraised through DIAGNOdent, MEVA and EDS. In the obtained data it was possible to observe that there were not statistic significant differences in any comparison, even in the group that did not have access to the fluoride in the toothpaste as in the other that had. According with the used methodology, it was possible to observe too that there was not statistic significant differences in any comparison, even in the group that had the stainless steel mesh positioned with glass ionomer cement as in the group that the stainless steel mesh was positioned with composed resin. However, it was observed that there was an improvement in the topography of the enamel in all the teeth. The accomplishment of this study was facilitated due to the participation of the researchers' of the health area (dentistry), materials engineer, physics and chemistry. The researchers were originating from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte and of the University of Queensland, in Australia. This interdisciplinary group was decisive in the accomplishment of the study. It can be concluded that the enamel tends to return to its initial aspect, even if the patient does not have access to fluoride. That is probably due the action of the abrasion for the tooth brushing and mastication. In spite of it not being significant, it is suggested that the conditioned enamel was more resistant to the abrasion in the group that had access to fluoride. It was also possible to conclude that the fluoride liberated by the glass ionomer was not enough to provide a significant difference in the enamel conditioned by the acid, when compared with the composed resin, even in the group that did not use fluoride in the toothpaste as in the group that used

Concentração de flúor e solubilidade em esmalte de dentes decíduos permanentes jovens após aplicações tópicas de soluções fluoretadas.

The aim of this article was to compare, through the distillation method, the incorporated amount of fluoride and the reduction of solubility in the enamel of both deciduous and young permanent teeth, following topical application of a 2% neutral sodium fluoride solution, according to the Knutson's technique and a 1.23% of acidulated solution, according to the Wellock & Brudevold's technique. The greatest fluoride incorporation was observed in the deciduous teeth after the usage of the 2% neutral solution. The amount of calcium and phosphorus liberation by the acid solution was greatest in the control group, followed by the group of teeth treated in acidulated solution and, finally, by those treated in 2% sodium fluoride solution.

Estudo da penetração de agentes ácidos para o condicionamento do esmalte dental em cimentos à base de hidróxido de cálcio.

It was verified the penetration of phosphoric acid into 3 commercial calcium hydroxide-based cements (Life, Renew and Prisma VLC Dycal). The colorimetric method employed permitted the identidication of phosphorus amount in representative samples of 6 successive layers 0.1 mm thick of each material. The acid etching used were the commercial products Scotchbond Etching Gel--3M at 36.114% by weight and Solução Condicionadora--Johnson & Johnson at 36.054% by weight. The contact time was 60 seconds. The result showed that layers 0.1 mm tick for Life and Prisma VLC Dycal and 0.2 mm thick for Renew were able to block the penetration of phosphoric acid solution whereas layers 0.1 mm thick for the 3 cements were able to block the penetration of phosphoric acid gel.

Estudo da infiltração marginal em restaurações de resinas compostas para dentes posteriores. Efeito do material, preparo cavitário e condicionamento do esmalte a nível cervical.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the cervical marginal leakage in class II restorations with chemically cured resin (P10) and light-cured resin (P30) in two types of cavities: conventional and adhesive. The effect of acid-etching in this area was also observed. Dentine adhesive Scotchbond was used in all experimental groups. Leakage was evidenced by Rodamina B dye penetration after thermocycling procedure between 10 degrees C and 50 degrees C temperature and analysed by using Zeiss Stereoscopic Magnifying Glass (10 X). According to the results obtained marginal leakage occurred in all experimental groups, with lower percentage for adhesives cavities when enamel acid-etching and light-cured resin P30 was used.

Proteína da matriz do esmalte associada a R.T.G. e vidro bioativo no tratamento de furca grau III em cães

This study investigated, both histologically and histometrically, the efficacy of enamel matrix derived proteins (EMD) associated with bioactive glass (BG) and an absorbable membrane in the treatment of class III furcation defects in mongrel dogs. After surgical defect creation and chronification, the lesions were randomly divided into three groups according to the treatment employed: Test Group 1 - EMD + BG + membrane, Test Group 2 - EMD + membrane and Control Group - BG + membrane. After a 90-day healing period, the dogs were sacrificed. The descriptive analysis and the histometric data showed similar results for the experimental groups in all studied parameters (MANOVA, p > 0.05). The association of Emdogain® with bioglass and GTR, or with GTR only, showed similar results when compared with the ones obtained with bioglass associated with membrane in the treatment of class III furcation defects in dogs. The three modalities of treatment showed partial filling of the furcations, with bone and cementum regeneration limited to the apical portion of the defects.
