Effect of Carbamide Peroxide Bleaching Gel Concentration on the Bond Strength of Dental Substrates and Resin Composite

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of bleaching gel containing 10%, 15% and 20% carbamide peroxide (CP) on the bond strength of dental enamel or dentin and resin composite restorations.Methods: The buccal surfaces of 12 bovine tooth crowns were conditioned with 37% phosphoric acid, and the adhesive resin Single Bond 2 and the resin composite Filtek Z350 were used to perform the restorations. The blocks were sectioned to obtain bar specimens. Each specimen group (enamel-E, dentin-D) was divided into four subgroups (n=15): S-artificial saliva; 10-10% CP bleaching; 15-15% CP bleaching; 20-20% CP bleaching. CP was applied for six hours daily for two weeks. The specimens were submitted to the a test in a universal testing machine. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey post-hoc test and a correlation analysis (r) was performed.Results: For Group E, the mean value (+/- standard-deviation) was 21.86 (+/- 6.03)a, 18.91 (+/- 8.31)ab, 15.43 (+/- 7.44)b and 10.6 (+/- 4.94)c for ES, E10, E15 and E20, respectively. For Group D, the alpha values were 34.73 (+/- 4.68)a, 35.12 (+/- 13.43)a, 29.67 (+/- 6.84)ab and 24.56 (+/- 6.54)b for DS, D10, D15 and D20, respectively. A negative correlation between the CP concentration and mean values was observed for both the enamel (r=-0.95) and dentin (r=-0.85) groups.Conclusion: In the current study, the bond strength of the restoration to enamel and the restoration to dentin were influenced by the application of CP and was dependent on the CP concentration in the bleaching gel.

Composição Corporal e Exigências Nutricionais em Cálcio e Fósforo para Ganho e Mantença de Cordeiros Santa Inês dos 15 kg aos 25 kg de Peso Vivo

The research was carried out to determine body composition and calcium and phosphorus requirements of Santa Ines lambs. Eighteen entire male lambs with average initial live weight of 15 kg were used. The animals were allotted to three groups: six animals were slaughtered at the beginning of the experiment, to access the amount of calcium and phosphorus present in the body, as reference animals for the comparative slaughter technique. Six animals were ad libitum fed and six were restrict fed (maintenance level plus 20%). The animals ad libitum and restrict fed started the experimental period by pairs and they were both slaughtered when the first reached 25 kg body weight. The body composition was estimated through the prediction equations obtained by regression of the logarithm of the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the empty body on the logarithm of the empty body weight. Net requirements for calcium and phosphorus for maintenance and the absorption coefficient were obtained through the correlation between the amount of each mineral consumed and retained in the animal body. The net requirements maintenance for live weight gain were obtained by means of derivation of the prediction of body composition equations. The net requirements maintainance of calcium and phosphorus for animals from 15 to 25 kg body weight were: 305 mg Ca/day and 325 mg P/day and net requirements for kg of the body weight gain for animals with 15 and 25 kg LW were 11.41 and 10.33 g Ca and 5.72 and 4.94 g P, respectively. The absorption coefficients were estimated to be .44 and 0.55 for Ca and P, respectively.

Oral myofunctional and electromyographic evaluation of the anterior suprahyoid muscles and tongue thrust in patients with class II/1 malocclusion submitted to first premolar extraction

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the existence of myofunctional alterations before and after first premolar extraction in Class II/1 malocclusion patients that could endanger the long-term dental arch stability. Materials and Methods: The study was performed by means of morphological, functional and electromyographic analyses in 17 Class II/1 malocclusion patients (group T) and 17 Class I malocclusion patients (group C), both groups with 12-30-year age range (mean age: 20.93 ± 4.94 years). Results: Data analyzed statistically by Student's t-test showed a significant decrease in the maxillary and mandibular dental arch perimeters after orthodontic treatment (p<0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test analyzed data from tongue posture at rest and during swallowing, not showing significant differences after treatment (groups Tb and Ta) (p>0.05). However, group T differed significantly from group C (p<0.05). The electromyographic data showed that the anterior right and left suprahyoid muscles acted synergistically in both groups, while having a lower myoelectric activity in group T during swallowing. Conclusions: Myofunctional alterations observed after the orthodontic treatment in Class II/1 malocclusion seemed to jeopardize the long-term orthodontic stability, making recurrence possible. Further research should be conducted to compare electromyographic data before and after orthodontic treatment in order to corroborate the results of the present investigation.

Treatment of experimental periodontitis in rats using repeated adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy

The aim of this study was to histologically and histometrically evaluate the influence of repeated adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on bone loss (BL) in furcation areas in rats. Periodontitis was induced by placing a ligature around the mandibular molar in 75 rats. The animals were divided into five groups: the SS group was treated with saline solution (SS); the SRP group received scaling and root planing (SRP); the aPDT1 group received SRP as well as toluidine blue (TBO) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT; InGaAlP, 660 nm; 4.94 J/cm2/point) postoperatively at 0 h; the aPDT2 group received SRP as well as TBO and LLLT postoperatively at 0, 24, 28, and 72 h; and the aPDT3 group received SRP, TBO, and LLLT postoperatively at 0, 48, 96, and 144 h. The area of BL in the furcation region of the molar was histometrically analyzed. Data were analyzed statistically (P < 0.05). Animals treated with a single episode of aPDT showed less BL at days 7 and 30 than those who received only SRP treatment. No significant differences were found among the aPDT groups (P > 0.05). Repeated aPDT did not improve BL reduction when compared to a single episode of aPDT. © 2012 Springer-Verlag London Ltd.

Avaliação reprodutiva de touros bubalinos alimentados com subprodutos da agroindústria na Amazônia Oriental

Os subprodutos farelo de coco (FC) e a torta de amêndoa de dendê (TAD) disponíveis na agroindústria da Amazônia Oriental podem ser utilizados como alimentos alternativos na substituição de concentrados convencionais, porém com poucas informações a respeito da sua composição bromatológica, e sua relação com as características produtivas e reprodutivas dos animais. Assim, este trabalho visou avaliar o consumo alimentar, desempenho ponderal, perímetro escrotal, qualidade seminal e níveis de testosterona de búfalos suplementados com rações experimentais à base de TAD ou FC. O trabalho foi desenvolvido na Unidade de Pesquisa Animal “Senador Álvaro Adolpho”, da Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, em Belém-PA. Foram utilizados como doadores de sêmen 15 machos bubalinos (Bubalus bubalis) adultos, divididos em três grupos experimentais: Controle, Base-FC (farelo de coco) e Base-TAD (torta de amêndoa de dendê). Os concentrados experimentais foram fornecidos individualmente na proporção de 1% do peso vivo (PV) de cada animal, diariamente. As colheitas seminais (n=173) foram realizadas semanalmente, e iniciaram 112 dias após o início da suplementação. Foram avaliadas as características físicas (aspecto, cor, volume, concentração, pH, motilidade e vigor espermáticos) e morfológicas (defeitos espermáticos e integridade de membrana plasmática) do sêmen. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variâncias, pelo comando PROG GLM do SAS, com comparações de médias feitas por Teste t (P<0,05). O consumo médio de matéria seca dos concentrados experimentais foi de 4,778 ± 1,233 kg, no Grupo Controle, 3,112 ± 0,693 kg, no Base-FC, e 4,558 ± 1,077 kg no Base-TAD (P>0,05). Os pesos médios dos animais foram 591, 4 ± 103,3 kg, 566,4 ± 94,1 kg e 578,3 ± 107,5 kg (P>0,05), e as medidas de perímetro escrotal de 34,6 ± 2,0 cm, 33,0 ± 1,9 cm e 32,7 ± 1,9 cm, spectivamente, nos grupos Controle, Base-FC e Base-TAD. Não houve diferença na concentração espermática (x106 sptz/mL) entre Controle (1326,3 ± 893,8), Base-FC (1.698,1 ± 1023,0) e Base-TAD (1.003,2 ± 569,0). A integridade da membrana plasmática (%) foi de 68,0 ± 19,5, 72,0 ± 22,6 e 82,1 ± 12,2, respectivamente para Controle, Base-FC e Base-TAD, juntamente com a motilidade espermática progressiva (%), foram maiores (P<0,05) no grupo Base-TAD (71,7 ± 15,1%), quando comparadas ao Controle (59,3 ± 20,5%) e Base-FC (56,7 ± 24,8%). Foram observadas correlações entre as variáveis de resposta. O consumo dos concentrados experimentais e ingredientes contidos neles, como PB, lipídeos, macro, micronutrientes e metais foram maiores no Grupo Base-TAD, com exceção de K, maior no Grupo Controle, e de Ti, maior no Grupo Base-FC. Em relação os parâmetros seminais não houve diferença significativa (P>0,05) no volume espermático, movimento de massa, vigor espermático, pH e patologias espermáticas, contudo, maiores concentrações espermáticas foram observadas no Grupo Base-FC e, maior motilidade espermática e integridade de membrana plasmática no Grupo Base-TAD. Deste modo, podemos concluir que as rações à base de subprodutos, como farelo de coco e torta de amêndoa de dendê podem ser utilizadas para touros reprodutores bubalinos, contudo, a melhor qualidade seminal foi observada nas rações à base de torta de amêndoa de dendê.
