Avaliação clínica da sensibilidade pós-operatória em restaurações oclusais com 3 sistemas adesivos: 3 passos (Scotchbond MP Plus), 2 passos associado a dessensibilizante (Gluma Confort Bond + Dessensitizer) e de 1 passo-auto-condicionante simplificado (I Bond)

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar clinicamente o comportamento de 60 restaurações oclusais, em relação à sensibilidade pós-operatória em cavidades oclusais em pré-molares e molares. Foram selecionados dentes considerados dentro da normalidade, após testes clínicos e radiográficos, onde cavidades de média profundidade e largura máxima de ½ da distancia entre os vértices de cúspides na área do istmo, eram requeridas. A profundidade da parede pulpar foi estabelecida em dentina pelo menos 1 mm além da junção amelodentinária. Os detalhes do preparo foram registrados por fotografia (digitalizadas), por moldagem com silicone de condensação, modelos de gesso. Esses cuidados foram tomados para que futuramente servissem como auxiliar de interpretação de resultados. As restaurações foram feitas sob isolamento absoluto, para evitarmos contaminação pela saliva e sangue. Em 20 preparos foram feitos procedimentos restauradores com sistema de 3 passos (Scotchbond MP Plus). Em outros 20 preparos foram feitos procedimentos restauradores com sistema de 2 passos associado a dessensibilizantes (Gluma Confort Bond + Dessensitizer). Em outros 20 preparos foram feitos procedimentos restauradores com sistema de 1 passo autocondicionante simplificado (I Bond). Os 60 dentes foram restaurados com a resina composta Filtek Supreme, por ser um material apropriado para dentes posteriores, por meio da técnica incremental. Após 48 horas e 7 dias os pacientes retornavam para o controle da sensibilidade pós-operatória. Inicialmente era obtido um relato do paciente, para em seguida serem realizados testes clínicos (térmico, pressão e percussão). Os dados foram tabelados e os resultados analisados. Não houve diferença na sensibilidade antes e após (48 horas e 7 dias) a colocação das restaurações para todos os grupos.

PREDICTABLE INTERPROXIMAL TISSUE REMOVAL WITH A SURGICAL STENT

The correction of diastemas in the anterior region with composite resin is considered to be practical and conservative. Harmony between the restorative material and the periodontium is necessary to achieve satisfactory functional and esthetic results. Whenever excessive gingiva occurs in the interproximal region, removal is necessary to avoid excessively contoured restorations. A predictable technique is described to conservatively remove interproximal tissue in situations in which crown lengthening is required to treat bilateral diastemas. A surgical template based on the diagnostically waxed cast was produced to serve as a reference during periodontal surgery.

Esthetic and function improvement by direct composite resins and biomimetic concept

Aim: This case report describe a resin layering restorative technique based on biomimetic concept to improve esthetics in a patient with dental defects that affected both enamel and dentin in anterior teeth. Background: Severe structural defect in anterior teeth compromises esthetics and it is a high challenge to become the defect imperceptible after the restoration. Case description: A clinical sequence of applying different composite resin layers allowed the reproduction of the interaction between hard dental tissues and the restorative material. Conclusion: This technique achieved a satisfactory final esthetic outcome, preserving sound teeth structure and at same time, improved the quality of life of the young patient. Clinical significance: The utilization of the biomimetic concept to increase a disharmonic smile with dental defects is based in a conservative approach, which reached a satisfactory and esthetic outcome.

Influence of occlusal contact area on cusp defection and stress distribution

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal contact area for loading on the cuspal defection and stress distribution in a first premolar restored with a high elastic modulus restorative material. The Rhinoceros 4.0 software was used for modeling the three-dimensional geometries of dental and periodontal structures and the inlay restoration. Thus, two different models, intact and restored teeth with three occlusal contact areas, 0.1, 0.5 and 0.75 mm(2), on enamel at the occlusal surface of buccal and lingual cusps. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed with the program ANSYS (Workbench 13.0), which generated a mesh with tetrahedral elements with greater refinement in the regions of interest, and was constrained at the bases of cortical and trabecular bone in all axis and loaded with 100 N normal to each contact area. To analysis of maximum principal stress, the smaller occlusal contact area showed greater compressive stress in region of load application for both the intact and inlay restored tooth. However, tensile stresses at the occlusal isthmus were similar for all three tested occlusal contact areas (60 MPa). To displacement of the cusps was higher for teeth with inlay (0.46-0.48 mm). For intact teeth, the smaller contact area showed greater displacement (0.10 mm). For teeth with inlays, the displacement of the cusps were similar in all types of occlusal area. Cuspal displacement was higher in the restored tooth when compared to the intact tooth, but there were no significant variations even with changes in the occlusal contact area. RELEVANCE CLINICAL: Occlusal contacts have a great influence on the positioning of teeth being able to maintain the position and stability of the mandible. Axial loads would be able to generate more uniform stress at the root presenting a greater concentration of load application in the point and the occlusal surface. Thus, is necessary to analyze the relationship between these occlusal contacts as dental wear and subsequent occlusal interferences.

Avaliação dos fatores críticos para a seleção e aplicação clínica dos pinos de fibra: relato de caso cliínico

Teeth that have lost much of their coronal tooth structure need intraradical devices to achieve a desired retention of the restorative material, restoring aesthetics and function to the patient. For this purpose, various types of intracanal posts have been studied, of wich the fiber posts have been highlighted with its increasing use in the dental market. The purpose of this study was to present a clinical case of using fiberglass post. As well as critically analyze the published works and points of controversy described by different authors related to factors such as different protocols cementation, surface treatments pins, fracture toughness and compression, the possibility of microleakage, diameter and length of the pin, and the various materials used in conjunction with the intracanal retainers. Thus, we concluded that fiber posts showed as an excellent alternative for anterior teeth, since have least 2 mm of tooth remaining.

Cerâmicas odontológicas: propriedades, indicações e considerações clinicas

The demand for esthetic restorations has resulted in an increased use of dental ceramics and is the main alternative restorative material to tooth structure due to its favorable properties. Therefore, the aim of this work is to study the evolution of ceramic systems, involving different types and properties, indications, and clinical issues as aesthetic, cementing and longevity. In a detailed and advanced search in the database PubMed, 98 articles were found using the following key words: dental porcelain dental all-ceramic and ceramic according to the criteria for inclusion and exclusion left only 35 articles for review. Several ceramic systems are available in the market, making the prosthetic professionals need a constant recycling about their properties and directions, since good results are due to the selection of the best material for a particular case in all the skill of the practitioner.

Influence of curing rate on softening in ethanol, degree of conversion, and wear of resin composite

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of curing rate on softening in ethanol, degree of conversion, and wear of resin composites. METHOD: With a given energy density and for each of two different light-curing units (QTH or LED), the curing rate was reduced by modulating the curing mode. Thus, the irradiation of resin composite specimens (Filtek Z250, Tetric Ceram, Esthet-X) was performed in a continuous curing mode and in a pulse-delay curing mode. Wallace hardness was used to determine the softening of resin composite after storage in ethanol. Degree of conversion was determined by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Wear was assessed by a three-body test. Data were submitted to Levene's test, one and three-way ANOVA, and Tukey HSD test (alpha = 0.05). Results: Immersion in ethanol, curing mode, and material all had significant effects on Wallace hardness. After ethanol storage, resin composites exposed to the pulse-delay curing mode were softer than resin composites exposed to continuous cure (P< 0.0001). Tetric Ceram was the softest material followed by Esthet-X and Filtek Z250 (P< 0.001). Only the restorative material had a significant effect on degree of conversion (P< 0.001): Esthet-X had the lowest degree of conversion followed by Filtek Z250 and Tetric Ceram. Curing mode (P= 0.007) and material (P< 0.001) had significant effect on wear. Higher wear resulted from the pulse-delay curing mode when compared to continuous curing, and Filtek Z250 showed the lowest wear followed by Esthet-X and Tetric Ceram.
