Avaliação da eficácia de primers para metal na resistência ao cisalhamento da união entre cimentos resinosos e metais não nobres. Efeito do armazenamento em água

O sucesso das restaurações metálicas indiretas depende, dentre outros fatores, de uma união eficaz entre a estrutura metálica e o cimento dentário empregados. Sabe-se que os primers para metal atuam com comprovada eficácia na resistência adesiva dos cimentos resinosos às ligas nobres. Entretanto, pouco foi estudado sobre o efeito de tais materiais em ligas não nobres. O propósito deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de primers para metal na resistência ao cisalhamento da união entre cimentos resinosos e metais não nobres. Discos (9 mm de diâmetro e 3 mm de altura) foram fundidos em liga de NiCr (n=80) e em titânio comercialmente puro (Ti c.p.) (n=80) e foram incluídos em anel de PVC com resina acrílica quimicamente ativada. As superfícies dos discos foram regularizadas com lixas de carbeto de silício de granulação 320, 400 e 600 e jateadas com partículas de óxido de alumínio de 50 µm. Espécimes de cada metal foram divididos em quatro grupos (n=20). Uma matriz metálica bi-partida (5 mm de diâmetro interno e 2 mm de altura) foi posicionada na superfície do espécime. As áreas adesivas receberam um dos seguintes tratamentos: 1) Panavia F; 2) Alloy Primer e Panavia F; 3) Bistite DC e 4) Metaltite e Bistite DC. Para evitar a exposição dos cimentos à luz, estes foram espatulados e inseridos na matriz dentro de uma câmara de revelação radiográfica. Quarenta minutos após a confecção, os espécimes foram armazenados em água destilada a 37ºC por 24 horas e então termociclados (1.000 ciclos, 5ºC e 55ºC, 30 segundos cada banho). Após a termociclagem, os espécimes foram armazenados novamente nas mesmas condições descritas anteriormente por um período de 24 horas (n=10) ou de 6 meses (n=10) antes do ensaio de cisalhamento em uma máquina de ensaios mecânicos (Material Test System 810).

Resistência à tração de coroas de NiCr cimentadas sobre munhões de liga de titânio, com 4 diferentes tipos de cimentos

In this work of tensile strength was evaluated the efficacy of 4 cements (S. S. White zinc phoshate, Ketac Cem Easymix glass ionomer, RelyX Luting 2 composite resin/glass ionomer and Panavia 21 TC special acrylic resin) used to fix NiCr crowns to usinated titanium alloy abutments. Were used 40 abutments distributed in groups of 10 elements, to each material. The mechanical essays were developed at a MTS 810 universal machine, adjusted to a 0.5 mm/m velocity. The ANOVA applied to data pointed out the existence of significant differences between groups; the subsequent Tukey´s test (p<0.05) also detected significant differences, except at comparisons of phosphate versus RelyX and phosphate versus Ketac Cem. The better performance was presented by Panavia 21 (1,127.996 N); RelyX (478.197 N) showed itself similar only to phosphate (430.662 N), wich had a performance similar to that of Ketac Cem (227.705 N).

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.

Deformación del área de corte de las limas endodónticas sometidas a diferentes métodos de precurvatura

Objetive: Evaluate the deformations caused in the cutting edges in the K-file #25 (LK), subjected to pre-beinding of the apcial third using the following methods: finder-bending, cotton-pliers bendin and Flexobend, observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Material and methods: Forty-eight LK#25 were divides into 4 groups (n=12); G1, control; G2, finger-bending; G3, cotton-plier bending, G4, Flexobend. The curvature was standardized in the apical segment of the file at 2 mm of D!. Was constructed a model of acrylic resin that correspond to a canal of 20º of curvature. The files were examined under SEM (260X). Data were analyzed using Fisher´s statistical test with a significance level of 5%. Results: The images showed no alterations in the LK, similar to G3, with no statistical difference. G3 and G4 were statistically different form the other groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: the finger-bending method to curve apical third of LK #25 did not alter the cutting edges, the cotton-pliers bending and Flexobend did alter the cutting edges of the files (AU)

The effect of chlorhexidine on plaque index and mutans streptococci in orthodontic patients: A pilot study

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess chlorhexidine effects on plaque index and salivary levels of mutans streptococci (MS) when used as the immersion solution for removable orthodontic appliances and added to their acrylic resin composition. Methods: Forty-five patients (6 to 12 years old) were randomly assigned into three groups with 15 patients each. Group I (control)—without orthodontic appliances disinfection; Group II—removable orthodontic appliances which had been immersed in 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate overnight (8 hours), and Group III—orthodontic appliances in which 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate solution had been incorporated into their resin composition. Saliva was collected for quantification of MS and evaluation of plaque index was performed before and after installation of orthodontic appliance at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks. Data were analyzed by using analysis of variance. Results: Number of MS colonies in saliva and plaque index showed no statistically differences among groups at the different periods (p > 0.05). Conclusions: It could be concluded that chlorhexidine incorporation into the acrylic resin of removable orthodontic appliances at 0.12% concentration and immersion of the appliance into 0.12% chlorhexidine solution were not effective in reducing plaque index and the number of MS in saliva.

Load-application devices: a comparative strain gauge analysis

In view of the low loading values commonly employed in dentistry, a load-application device (LAD) was developed as option to the universal testing machine (UTM), using strain gauge analysis. The aim of this study was to develop a load-application device (LAD) and compare the LAD with the UTM apparatus under axial and non-axial loads. An external hexagonal implant was inserted into a polyurethane block and one EsthetiCone abutment was connected to the implant. A plastic prosthetic cylinder was screwed onto the abutment and a conical pattern crown was fabricated using acrylic resin. An impression was made and ten identical standard acrylic resin patterns were obtained from the crown impression, which were cast in nickel-chromium alloy (n=10). Four strain gauges were bonded diametrically around the implant. The specimens were subjected to central (C) and lateral (L) axial loads of 30 kgf, on both devices: G1: LAD/C; G2: LAD/L; G3: UTM/C; G4: UTM/L. The data (με) were statistically analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the UTM and LAD devices, regardless of the type of load. It was concluded that the LAD is a reliable alternative, which induces microstrains to implants similar to those obtained with the UTM.
