RESUMO
Objective: Evaluate the protective effect of artificial saliva formulations associated or not with mucin on dentin. Materials and Methods: Bovine dentin specimens were randomly allocated to 10 groups (n = 20) according to the artificial saliva tested and the presence or absence of mucin: Amaechi et al. (1998); Klimek et al. (1982); Vieira et al. (2005) and Eisenburger et al. (2001) and deionized water (control). Samples were submitted to an erosive cycle consisting of two immersions of 120 min in the saliva, followed by 1 min in hydrochloric acid solution, and new storage in saliva for 120 min. Surface loss (µm) was measured before and after the cycle. Data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). Results: A significant difference was observed for the saliva formulation but not for the presence of mucin. The deionized water provided the highest surface loss and the Eisenburger's saliva formulation the lowest. The groups testing the Amaechi, Klimek, and Vieira saliva did not present significant differences. Conclusion: Eisenburger's saliva formulation provides a higher protective effect against dentin erosion. The presence of mucin did not increase the erosion-preventive effect of artificial saliva formulations. (AU)

Com base no desenvolvimento da odontologia adesiva, restaurações minimamente invasivas em cerâmica são utilizadas como alternativas para restaurar um dente. As cerâmicas odontológicas são amplamente aplicadas na área odontológica principalmente devido à sua estética e resistência mecânica. Uma das propriedades da cerâmica a ser bem conhecida antes de seu uso, é a resistência ao desgaste que deve ser compatível com o comportamento de desgaste do antagonista para evitar desempenhos indesejados. Portanto, vários métodos têm sido realizados para avaliar o comportamento do desgaste dos materiais cerâmicos considerando diferentes condições presentes no complexo meio oral. Este estudo teve como objetivo compilar os métodos utilizados para investigar o desgaste das cerâmicas odontológicas e descrever os mecanismos de desgaste envolvidos nos mesmos. A obtenção e análise de dados também é abordada para discutir os resultados obtidos a partir de diferentes métodos, bem como a análise clínica do desgaste e perspectivas futuras sobre esse tema. Em conclusão, muitas metodologias estão disponíveis para medir o desgaste cerâmico. Portanto, os métodos devem ser selecionados com base na relevência clínica de cada estudo e devem seguir parâmetros previamente relatados para padronização, permitindo a comparação da literatura (AU)
Based on the development of adhesive dentistry, minimally invasive restorations in ceramics are used as alternatives to restore a tooth. Dental ceramics are largely applied in the dentistry field mainly due to their esthetic and mechanical strength. One of the ceramic properties to be well known before its use is the wear resistance that should be compatible with the antagonist wear behavior to avoid unwanted performance. Therefore, several methods have been performed to assess the ceramic materials wear behavior considering different conditions present in the complex oral medium. This study aimed to compile the methods used to investigate dental ceramics wear and to describe the wear mechanisms involved on them. Obtaining and analyzing data is also addressed to discuss the results obtained from different methods, as well as the clinical analysis of wear and future perspectives on this topic. In conclusion, many methodologies are available to measure the ceramic wear. Therefore, the methods must be selected based on the clinical significance of each study and should follow previously reported parameters for standardization, allowing literature comparison. (AU)

Different agents have been proposed to prevent the progression of acid induced dental substance losses, which are called erosive tooth wear (ETW), such as fluorides, calcium, and phosphate-based products; however, there is a need for a further increase in efficacy. Recently, the ability of polymers to interact with the tooth surface, forming acid resistant films, has come into the focus of research; nevertheless, there is still the need for a better understanding of their mode of action. Thus, this article provides an overview of the chemical structure of polymers, their mode of action, as well as the effect of their incorporation into oral care products, acid beverages, and antacid formulations, targeting the prevention of ETW. Recent evidence indicates that this may be a promising approach, however, additional studies are needed to confirm their efficacy under more relevant clinical conditions that consider salivary parameters such as flow rate, composition, and clearance. The standardization of methodological procedures such as acid challenge, treatment duration, and combination with fluorides is necessary to allow further comparisons between studies. In conclusion, film-forming polymers may be a promising cost-effective approach to prevent and control erosive demineralization of the dental hard tissue.
RESUMO
The clinical success of tooth-colored indirect restorations has been confirmed in several studies. However, inlays and onlays restorations in Class II cavities with deep gingival margins can still be considered a clinical challenge. With the purpose of facilitating the execution of the operative procedures in intrasulcular margins and reducing the risk of restorative failures, the technique of cervical margin relocation has been explored as a noninvasive alternative to surgical crown lengthening. This work aims at discussing through a case report the biomechanical, operative and biological aspects in the treatment of teeth with deep gingival margins. Therefore, given the therapy applied in the clinical case presented, it is concluded that the cervical margin relocation with composite resin is advantageous since it eliminates the need for surgery, allowing the implementation of indirect restorations in fewer clinical sessions, not causing damage to periodontal tissues once it provided good finishing and polishing with the establishment of a correct emergence profile, allowing flawless maintenance of gingival health after one year.

Sucesso clínico das restaurações indiretas livres de metal tem sido confirmado em diversos estudos. No entanto, restaurações parciais indiretas em cavidades do tipo classe II com margens profundas ainda podem ser consideradas um desafio clínico. Com a proposta de facilitar a execução dos procedimentos operatórios em margens intra-sulculares e reduzir a ocorrência de falhas, a técnica de elevação da margem gengival em resina composta tem sido explorada como alternativa não invasiva à cirurgia de aumento de coroa clínica. Este trabalho tem a intenção de discutir através de um relato de caso clínico os aspectos biomecânicos, operatórios e biológicos no tratamento de dentes com margens cervicais profundas. Sendo assim, conclui-se que a técnica de elevação da margem gengival com resina composta é vantajosa, pois elimina a necessidade de cirurgia permitindo a execução de restaurações indiretas em menos sessões clínicas, não gerando danos aos tecidos periodontais, desde que haja um bom acabamento e polimento, com estabelecimento de um correto perfil de emergência.

This study investigated the protective effect of experimental solutions containing 4 polymers (polyoxirane, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose [HPMC], pectin, and an amino methacrylate copolymer [AMC]) in 2 concentrations (low and high) associated or not with sodium fluoride (F; 225 ppm F-) or sodium fluoride plus stannous chloride (FS; 800 ppm Sn2+) on the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals (HA). Deionized water was the control. The pretreated HA was added to a 0.3% citric acid solution (pH 3.8). An automatic titrant machine added aliquots of 0.1 N HCl at a rate of 28 µL/min, in a total reaction time of 5 min. Groups were compared with 2-way ANOVA and Tukey's test, and concentrations with Student t test (5%). The zeta potential of the HA treated with the solutions was measured. Significant differences were found for both factors and interaction (p < 0.0001). The treatments with F and FS solutions resulted in a lower amount of dissolved HA than the control. Among the polymers' solutions, only AMC was able to reduce the amount of dissolved HA, changing the surface charge of HA to positive. AMC improved the protective effect of F, but it did not affect FS. Polyoxirane and HPMC reduced the protective potential of the FS solution. No differences were found between the concentrations of the polymers. It was concluded that F and FS reduced the amount of dissolved HA. The protective effect of the experimental solutions against HA dissolution was polymer dependent. The F effect was enhanced by its combination with AMC, but the protection of FS was impaired by polyoxirane and HPMC.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials that do not require any firing steps are a promising option to expedite restoration production; however, little information is available to determine the most suitable material for each clinical situation. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of simulated toothbrushing on surface gloss, roughness, and wear of chairside CAD-CAM materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Disk-shaped specimens (n=15) were prepared of the following materials: ENA-VITA Enamic; LAV-Lava Ultimate; EMP-IPS Empress CAD; CER-Cerasmart; GRA-Grandio blocs. Gloss (Gloss Unit-GU) and surface roughness (Ra-µm) were evaluated before and after simulated toothbrushing (100 000 strokes). Wear (µm) was assessed by contact profilometry. Additional analyses of microhardness by scanning electron microscopy were also performed. Data were analyzed with 2-way repeated measures ANOVA test for roughness and gloss, and 1-way ANOVA for wear (α=.05). To estimate the correlation between Ra and GU, the Pearson correlation was calculated. RESULTS: Before brushing, CER showed the lowest Ra (P<.001), and GRA the lowest GU values. After brushing, the feldspathic ceramic-based materials (ENA and EMP) presented the highest gloss, whereas the ceramic group (EMP) showed the lowest Ra. Before and after brushing, GRA showed the lowest GU values. Higher wear values were found for the composite resin groups (CER>GRA), with the exception of LAVA, which was similar to ENA, and EMP showing improved wear resistance. A strong negative correlation (-0.925) between GU and Ra values was detected (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS: The materials containing a glass phase (ENA and EMP) presented higher wear resistance, higher gloss, and lower roughness after brushing than the other materials tested. The correlation test showed that the higher the surface roughness, the lower the gloss.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate if an aminomethacrylate copolymer (AMC) could potentiate the anti-erosive effect of solutions containing sodium fluoride -F (225â¯ppm F-) and sodium fluoride associated to stannous chloride -FS (800â¯ppm Sn2+). METHODS: The experimental solutions (F, FS, AMC, AMCâ¯+â¯F, AMCâ¯+â¯FS, and deionized water-DW as negative control) were tested in the presence of acquired pellicle. Polished bovine enamel specimens (nâ¯=â¯13/group) were submitted to an erosion-rehardening cycle (2â¯h immersion in human saliva, 5â¯min in 0.3 % citric acid, 1â¯h in human saliva, 4×/day, 5 days). Treatment with the solutions was performed for 2â¯min, 2×/day. The rehardening (%Re) and protective (%Prot) potential of the solutions were assessed in the beginning of the experiment, and the surface loss (SL) by contact profilometry after 5 days. Additional bovine specimens (nâ¯=â¯5/group) were prepared to evaluate the contact angle on the treated enamel surface. The zeta potential of the dispersed hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals after the treatment with the solutions was also measured (nâ¯=â¯3/group). Data were statistically analyzed (αâ¯=â¯0.05). RESULTS: The association with AMC improved the %Re and the %Prot for W and F, but not for FS. The results of SL were: AMCâ¯+â¯F = AMCâ¯+â¯FSâ¯<â¯AMCâ¯<â¯FSâ¯<â¯Fâ¯<â¯DW. The presence of AMC significantly reduced the contact angle on enamel surfaces. The HA presented a strong negative surface charge after the treatment with DW, F and FS, whereas after the treatment with the solutions containing AMC it became positive. CONCLUSION: AMC has potential to enhance the anti-erosive effect of fluoride solutions. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The aminomethacrylate copolymer (AMC) may be a promising agent to be added to oral care products for the prevention of erosive tooth wear.

This in vitro study investigated whether Carbopol 980 polymer could potentiate the anti-erosive effect of solutions containing sodium fluoride (F) and sodium fluoride associated with stannous chloride (FS). The dissolution of hydroxyapatite treated with the experimental solutions (F [500 ppm F-], F + Carbopol [0.1%], FS [500 ppm F- + 800 ppm Sn2+], FS + Carbopol) was evaluated. Deionized water was the negative control, and a commercial mouth rinse (AmF/NaF/SnCl2; 500 ppm F + 800 ppm Sn2+; Elmex® Erosion Protection) was the positive control. The solutions were also evaluated in an erosion-rehardening protocol, with two treatments per day, using bovine enamel specimens (n = 15) and human saliva. The acid challenge was performed using 0.3% citric acid (pH 2.6) for 2 min. Microhardness was measured at different times: baseline, after the first erosive challenge, after treatment, and after the second erosive challenge. Based on microhardness values, the demineralization, rehardening, and protective potentials were calculated. The alkali-soluble fluoride on enamel surfaces was also measured. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). Groups treated with FS + Carbopol showed the lowest hydroxyapatite dissolution and the highest rehardening and protective potentials. The measurement of alkali-soluble fluoride on enamel surfaces was also higher in the FS + Carbopol group. Carbopol was able to significantly increase the protective effect of the fluoridated solutions in addition to optimizing the adsorption of fluoride on the enamel surface.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Manufacturers of the recently introduced nanofilled bis-acryl composite resins no longer recommend polishing to produce interim restorations; however, whether this advice is appropriate is unclear. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of the type of interim resin material, polishing procedure, and artificial staining on surface roughness, gloss, and color. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Disk-shaped specimens were prepared from 1 unfilled acrylic resin (Duralay) and 3 bis-acryl composite resins (Structur 3-nanofilled, Systemp C&B-microhybrid, Proviplast-microhybrid). The specimens of each material were assigned to 2 subgroups (n=15): polished and unpolished. Surface roughness (Ra-µm), gloss (UB), and color (ΔE) were analyzed at baseline and after 14 days of artificial staining. Roughness and gloss data were separately analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and color by 2-way ANOVA, followed by the post hoc Tukey test (α=.05). RESULTS: The baseline roughness of all materials was significantly reduced by the polishing procedure, whereas the baseline gloss was increased (P<.001). Only the unpolished Proviplast had a significant increase in Ra values after aging. Structur 3 had higher gloss than Systemp C&B and Proviplast. The acrylic resin had the lowest color change after staining. CONCLUSIONS: The polishing procedure produced smother and glossier surfaces for all the materials tested. The nanofilled bis-acryl composite resin material had higher gloss than the microhybrid bis-acryls tested, but it was not different from the acrylic resin. The 14 days of artificial staining did not promote significant changes in Ra or gloss values, except for Ra in the unpolished Proviplast subgroup, indicating excellent performance of the materials. The acrylic resin had the highest color stability.
