Influência de propriedades físico químicas dos materiais resinosos e da técnica de inserção na adaptação marginal de restaurações classe II

A contração de polimerização das resinas compostas é uma característica indesejável que compromete a integridade da interface dente/restauração. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro a influência de diferentes materiais usados em restaurações classe II de resina composta, quanto ao grau de conversão, tensão de contração, resistência a flexão, módulo de elasticidade e formação de fenda marginal. Foram realizados preparos classe II com dimensões de 4x4x2mm em terceiros molares recém-extraídos para a avaliação da formação de fenda marginal. As cavidades foram niveladas com cimento de ionômero de vidro Riva Light Cure (SDI) (CIV), resina de baixa contração SureFilSDR (Dentsply) (SDR), resina flow FiltekZ350Flow (3M/ESPE) (Z350F) e resina composta FiltekP90 (3M/ESPE) (P90). As restaurações (n=3) foram avaliadas com lupa estereoscópica. A resistência a flexão foi avaliada por meio de ensaio de flexão em três pontos. Para este ensaio foram confeccionados dez corpos de prova (n=10) de cada material com dimensões de 10x2x1mm. Para o teste de tensão de contração foram utilizados cilindros de polimetacrilato com 5 mm de diâmetro e 13 ou 28mm de comprimento. Os bastões foram fixados na EMIC com um espaço de 2mm entre eles, onde os materiais foram inseridos. Foram realizadas cinco repetições para cada grupo (n=5) e a tensão proveniente da contração foi medida por até 10 minutos após o início da fotopolimerização. O Grau de Conversão (GC) foi determinado por espectroscopia no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR). Os resultados foram tratados estatisticamente por análise de variância (ANOVA) e Teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Fenda marginal: Z350F = CIV > SDR = P90. Tensão de contração: Z350F > SDR > CIV = P90. Resistência a flexão: P90 > SDR = Z350F > CIV. Módulo de Elasticidade: P90 > CIV = SDR = Z350F. GC: Z350F = SDR > P90 > CIV. Conclusões: existe correlação entre a formação de fenda marginal e as propriedades físico químicas dos materiais testados, sendo as resinas de baixa contração que proporcionaram melhor adaptação marginal; existe correlação entre resistência a flexão, módulo de elasticidade, tensão de contração e a composição dos materiais, já que os compósitos com melhores resultados foram os que apresentaram os maiores percentuais de carga, no entanto, maior grau de conversão não representou melhores propriedades mecânicas.

Graded index 532HR/1064HT filter by glancing angle deposition

Glancing angle deposition is a novel method to prepare graded index coatings. By using this method and physical vapour deposition, ZrO2 is used to engineer graded index filter on BK7 glass substrate. Controlling the deposition rate and the periodic oscillation of oblique angle of deposited material, a 10-period graded index ZrO2 filter with high reflection near 532 nm and high transmittance at wavelength 1064 nm is fabricated. The causes of difference between the theoretical and experimental results are discussed in detail. The material properties and electron gun nonlinearity are possibly the main origins of the difference, which result in the variations in both thickness control and deposition rate of the Elm material.

Structural and optical properties of nanostructured TiO2 thin films fabricated by glancing angle deposition

TiO2 films deposited by electron beam evaporation with glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique were reported. The influence of flux angle on the surface morphology and the microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The GLAD TiO2 films are anisotropy with highly orientated nanostructure of the slanted columns. With the increase of flux angle, refractive index and packing density decrease. This is caused by the shadowing effect dominating film growth. The anisotropic structure of TiO2 films results in optical birefringence, which reaches its maximum at the flux angle alpha = 65 degrees. The maximum birefringence of GLAD TiO2 films is higher than that of common bulk materials. It is suggested that glancing angle deposition may offer an effective method to obtain tailorable refractive index and birefringence in a large continuous range. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Preparation and characterization of nanostructured ZrO2 thin films by glancing angle deposition

ZrO2 films were prepared by electron beam evaporation with glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. The as-deposition and annealed ZrO2 films are all amorphous, different from that deposited at normal incidence. Due to the shadowing effect, a highly orientated structure composed of slanted columns formed, and the obtained films became the mixture of slanted columns and voids. The relationship among the effective refractive index, packing density and flux incident angle was investigated. The refractive index and packing density of ZrO2 films decrease with the increase of the incident angle. The in-plane birefringence of GLAD ZrO2 films was calculated. At the packing density of 0.576, the maximum birefringence is 0.037. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Structure and optical properties of Nb2O5 sculptured thin films by glancing angle deposition

Nb2O5 sculptured thin. films deposited by electron beam evaporation with glancing angle deposition were prepared. Nb2O5 sculptured thin. films with tilted columns are optical anisotropy. XRD, SEM, UV-vis-NIR spectra are employed to characterize the microstructure and optical properties. The maximum of birefringence (Delta n) is up to 0.045 at alpha = 70 degrees with packing density of 0.487. With increasing the deposition angle, refractive index and packing density of Nb2O5 STF are decreasing. The relationship among deposition parameter, microstructure and optical properties was investigated in detail. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

Electrical phase angle as a new method to measure fish condition

In this study, phase angle (the ratio of resistance and reactance of tissue to applied electrical current) is presented as a possible new method to measure fish condition. Condition indices for fish have historically been based on simple weight-at-length relationships, or on costly and timeconsuming laboratory procedures that measure specific physiological parameters. Phase angle is introduced to combine the simplicity of a quick field-based measurement with the specificity of laboratory analysis by directly measuring extra- and intracellular water distribution within an organism, which is indicative of its condition. Phase angle, which can be measured in the field or laboratory in the time it takes to measure length and weight, was measured in six species of fish at different states (e.g., fed vs. fasted, and postmortem) and under different environmental treatments (wild vs. hatchery, winter vs. spring). Phase angle reflected different states of condition. Phase angles <15° indicated fish in poor condition, and phase angles >15° indicated fish that were in better condition. Phase angle was slightly affected by temperatures (slope = – 0.19) in the 0–8°C range and did not change in fish placed on ice for <12 hours. Phase angle also decreased over time in postmortem fish because of cell membrane degradation and subsequent water movement from intra- to extracellular (interstitial) spaces. Phase angle also reflected condition of specific anatomical locations within the fish.
