Paired Evaluation Of Calvarial Reconstruction With Prototyped Titanium Implants With And Without Ceramic Coating.

To investigate the osseointegration properties of prototyped implants with tridimensionally interconnected pores made of the Ti6Al4V alloy and the influence of a thin calcium phosphate coating. Bilateral critical size calvarial defects were created in thirty Wistar rats and filled with coated and uncoated implants in a randomized fashion. The animals were kept for 15, 45 and 90 days. Implant mechanical integration was evaluated with a push-out test. Bone-implant interface was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The maximum force to produce initial displacement of the implants increased during the study period, reaching values around 100N for both types of implants. Intimate contact between bone and implant was present, with progressive bone growth into the pores. No significant differences were seen between coated and uncoated implants. Adequate osseointegration can be achieved in calvarial reconstructions using prototyped Ti6Al4V Implants with the described characteristics of surface and porosity.

Adhesion of Endodontic Sealers to Human Root Dentine Submitted to Different Surface Treatments

Objective: To evaluate the adhesion of the endodontic sealers Epiphany, Apexit Plus, and AH Plus to root canal dentin submitted to different surface treatments, by using the push-out test. Methods: One hundred twenty-eight root cylinders obtained from maxillary canines were embedded in acrylic resin, had the canals prepared, and were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 32), according to root dentin treatment: (I) distilled water (control), (II) 17% EDTAC, (III) 1% NaOCl and (IV) Er:YAG laser with 16-Hz, 400-mJ input (240-mJ output) and 0.32-J/cm(2) energy density. Each group was divided into four subgroups (n = 8) filled with Epiphany (either dispensed from the automix syringe supplied by the manufacturer or prepared by hand mixing), Apexit Plus, or AH Plus. Data (MPa) were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test. Results: A statistically significant difference (p < 0.01) was found among the root-canal sealers, except for the Epiphany subgroups, which had statistically similar results to each other (p > 0.01): AH Plus (4.77 +/- 0.85), Epiphany/hand mixed (3.06 +/- 1.34), Epiphany/automix syringe (2.68 +/- 1.35), and Apexit Plus (1.22 +/- 0.33). A significant difference (p < 0.01) was found among the dentin surface treatments. The highest adhesion values were obtained with AH Plus when root dentin was treated with Er: YAG laser and 17% EDTAC. Epiphany sealer presented the lowest adhesion values to root dentin treated with 17% EDTAC. Conclusions: The resin-based sealers had different adhesive behaviors, depending on the treatment of root canal walls. The mode of preparation of Epiphany (automix syringe or hand mixing) did not influence sealer adhesion to root dentin.

Measuring Bond Strength Between Fiber Post and Root Dentin: A Comparison of Different Tests

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of bond strength tests to accurately measure the bond strength of fiber posts luted into root canals Materials and Methods The test methods studied were hourglass microtensile (HM), push-out (PS), modified push out (MP) and pull out (PL) The evaluated parameters were bond strength values, reliability (using Weibull analysis), failure mode (using confocal microscopy), and stress distribution (using finite element analysis) Forty human intact single rooted and endodontically treated teeth were divided into four groups Each group was assigned one of the test methods The samples in the HM and PS groups were 1 0 +/- 0 1 mm thick, the HM samples were hourglass shaped and the PS samples were disk shaped For the PL and MP groups, each 1 mm dentin slice was luted with a fiber post piece Three dimensional models of each group were made and stress was analyzed based on Von Mises criteria Results PL provided the highest values of bond strength followed by MP both of which also had greater amounts of adhesive failures PS showed the highest frequency of cohesive failures MP showed a more homogeneous stress distribution and a higher Weibull modulus Conclusion The specimen design directly influences the biomechanical behavior of bond strength tests

Compromised Bond Strength after Root Dentin Deproteinization Reversed with Ascorbic Acid

Introduction: The present study evaluated the effect of a reducing agent on the bond strength of deproteinized root canal dentin surfaces when using a self-adhesive versus dual-cured cement. Regional differences were also evaluated. Methods: A total of 45 bovine incisor roots were divided into 3 groups: irrigation with physiologic solution (control), 10-minute deproteinization with 5% NaOCl, and 10-minute deproteinization with 5% NaOCl followed by 10 minutes of 10% ascorbic acid. Fiber posts were cemented with either RelyX 0100 or RelyX ARC (with SingleBond 2 or Clearfil SE Bond). The push-out bond strength was evaluated after 24 hours of storage. Data were submitted to three-way analyses of variance and Dunnett 13 tests (alpha = 0.05). Results: No differences between cements were observed within the testing conditions, regardless of the adhesive (P < .05). Deproteinization reduced bond strengths. Subsequent treatment with ascorbic acid was capable of reversing bond strength value changes to levels similar to those of controls. Regional radicular differences were also found, where coronal > middle > apical. Conclusions: The reducing agent was capable. of reversing the effect of dentin deproteinization, and RelyX U100 behaved similarly to RelyX ARC. (J Endod 2010;36:130-134)
