RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This systematic review investigated the hypothesis that preheated resin composites (RCs) used as luting agents improve the mechanical properties, physicochemical performance, and color of indirect ceramic restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Literature search was performed in three databases (Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) and in the grey literature (OpenGrey, ProQuest, and Catalog of Theses & Dissertations from CAPES). Eligibility criteria included only studies comparing at least one preheated RC used as a luting agent with resin cements. RESULTS: Data regarding the mechanical properties, physicochemical characteristics, and color were analyzed qualitatively, and the microtensile bond strength and film thickness were also evaluated by meta-analysis. The search strategy identified 3894 papers, and 28 were full-text screened. Seven studies were included in the review, and 5 were included in the meta-analysis. No significant difference was found for microtensile bond strength (P = 0.14). Preheated RCs showed significantly higher film thickness than resin cements (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Overall, the use of preheated RCs as luting agents offers similar to poorer performance than using resin cements for bonding indirect restorations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Despite the claim that preheated RC could be used as a luting agent, further studies should investigate the effect of clinically unacceptable film thickness.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the fracture load (Lf) and the failure mode of CAD-on (Ivoclar Vivadent) ceramic structures, testing the hypotheses that Lf of multilayer structures is governed by the veneering ceramic strength and that chipping is more frequent in multilayer than monolithic structures. Disc-shaped specimens were fabricated as follows: CAD-on- trilayer structure composed of Y-TZP (yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal- IPS e.max ZirCAD) infrastructure, fusion glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD Crystall/Connect) and lithium disilicate-based glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD); YLD- bilayer structure composed of Y-TZP infrastructure and fluorapatite layering ceramic (IPS e.max Ceram); LDC- monolithic lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD); and YZW- monolithic Y-TZP (Zenostar Zr Translucent). The specimens were loaded in compression until failure and fracture surfaces were evaluated using fractographic principles. Lf values were statistically analyzed using the Weibull statistics, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (a= 0.05). YZW (1329 N) and CAD-on (1085 N) showed the greatest Lf median values, followed by YLD (832 N) and LDC (421 N). All monolithic structures (LDC and YZW) fractured catastrophically and all YLD structures failed by chipping. The CAD-on technique seems to be a very promising fabrication process because it showed high Lf, similar to monolithic zirconia, and small chipping rate.

RESUMO

Avaliar, in vitro, a variação de cor e dureza de três materiais restauradores (3M ESPE): Ketac Molar Easymix (KME); Vitremer (VT) e resina composta Filtek Z250 (Z250) após o clareamento com peróxido de carbamida a 37% (PC37- Whiteness Super) e peróxido de hidrogênio a 35% (PH35- Whiteness HP Maxx). Materiais e método: foram confeccionados 108 corpos de prova (CP), sendo 36 para cada material, avaliados inicialmente (baseline) e após cada aplicação dos agentes clareadores realizadas em subseqüentes 7 períodos, ou seja, após 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 e 42 dias. As avaliações colorimétricas (coordenadas CIELAB) dos CP foram realizadas usando um espectrofotômetro (Easyshade, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Alemanha) sob fundo branco e em ambiente clínico. Para a avaliação da dureza (H), usou-se um durômetro (Pantec HVS 10, Panambra Ind. e Téc. SA, São Paulo, SP Brasil) com penetrador tipo Vickers. Os resultados das diferenças de cor (∆E*ab), diferenças de L* (∆L*) e H foram calculados e avaliados estatisticamente usando análise de variância (ANOVA) e as diferenças avaliadas pelo teste Tukey (α=0,05). Resultados: após o clareamento, houve alterações significativas no valor de ∆E*ab para os dois materiais a base de ionômero de vidro (KME e VT), com ambos os clareadores (PC37 e PH35) mostrando efeito similar para cada material. Não houve diferença na H dos materiais. Conclusão: após 42 dias, agentes clareadores alteraram a cor dos materiais ionoméricos e não alteraram a dureza dos materiais testados.

RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate histologically the effect of irrigation with 400 ppm Sterilox, 2% and 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), with and without photo-activated therapy (PAD), in a single-visit root canal treatment of dog's teeth with apical periodontitis (AP). Ten dogs were randomly divided into two groups (n=5): with and without PAD, and the root canals into four subgroups, according to the irrigating solution: SX (400 ppm Sterilox), SH2 (2% NaOCl), SH5 (5% NaOCl) and SS (saline solution) as positive control. A total of 134 root canals were opened and left exposed to the oral environment for 14 days and then sealed for 60 days for AP induction. Then, root canals were treated according to each proposed disinfecting protocol and filled in the same session. After 120 days, the dogs were euthanized and the periapical inflammatory events were evaluated under light microscopy. Qualitative data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (α=0.05). PAD did not produce significant differences in the scores for apical inflammation when used after chemo-mechanical preparation (p>0.05). The irrigating solutions SX, SH2 and SH5 without PAD were statistically different from SS (p<0.05) that presented the greatest scores for apical inflammation. PAD did not show any additional effect for the treatment of root canals with pulp necrosis and AP in a single visit and 400 ppm Sterilox may be considered an alternative to NaOCl in root canal treatment.

Este estudo realizou uma avaliação histológica do efeito das soluções irrigadoras Sterilox 400 ppm e hipoclorito de sódio (NaOCl) a 2% e 5%, com e sem a terapia fotodinâmica (PAD), na endodontia em sessão única de dentes de cães associados a lesões periapicais (APs). Dez cães foram divididos de forma randomizada em dois grupos (n=5): com e sem PAD, e os canais radiculares em quatro subgrupos, de acordo com a solução irrigadora utilizada: SX (Sterilox 400 ppm), SH2 (NaOCl 2%), SH5 (NaOCl 5%) e SS (solução salina) como controle positivo. Cento e trinta e quatro canais foram abertos e deixados expostos ao meio oral por 14 dias e depois selados por 60 dias para a indução de APs. Na sequência, os canais foram tratados de acordo com cada protocolo de desinfecção proposto e obturados na mesma sessão. Após 120 dias, os cães foram mortos e os eventos inflamatórios periapicais foram avaliados em microscopia óptica. Os dados qualitativos foram analisados estatisticamente pelos testes Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney (α=0,05). A PAD, quando empregada após o preparo químico-mecânico, não promoveu diferenças significativas nos escores para inflamação apical (p>0,05). As soluções irrigadoras SX, SH2 e SH5 sem PAD apresentaram diferenças estatísticas do grupo SS (p<0,05) que apresentou os maiores escores para inflamação apical. A PAD não apresentou efeito adicional na endodontia em sessão única dos canais com necrose pulpar associados a lesão apical e a solução irrigadora Sterilox 400 ppm pode ser considerada uma alternativa ao NaOCl na terapia endodôntica.

RESUMO

Ceramics are very important in the science of dental biomaterials. Among all dental ceramics, zirconia is in evidence as a dental biomaterial and it is the material of choice in contemporary restorative dentistry. Zirconia has been applied as structural material for dental bridges, crowns, inserts, and implants, mostly because of its biocompatibility, high fracture toughness, and radiopacity. However, the clinical success of restorative dentistry has to consider the adhesion to different substrates, which has offered a great challenge to dental zirconia research and development. This study characterizes zirconia as a dental biomaterial, presenting the current consensus and challenges to its dental applications.

RESUMO

Existe uma grande demanda por tratamento ortodôntico em pacientes adultos, que requerem frequentemente uma adequada adesão de bráquetes a vários substratos, além do esmalte dental, tais como: porcelanas, ligas metálicas, amálgama, ouro, dentina, resinas compostas e acrílicas. Objetivo: Apresentar revisão da literatura sobre os mecanismos adesivos empregados para a adesão de bráquetes cerâmicos aos diversos substratos encontrados na clínica odontológica e as propriedades dos bráquetes cerâmicos, sugerindo protocolos adesivos com base em evidências. Métodos: A pesquisa foi realizada na base de dados PubMed, em artigos publicados a partir de 1986, incluindo aos temas: bráquetes cerâmicos e resistência de união em ortodontia. Resultados: A estética e a biocompatibilidade foram reportadas como as maiores vantagens dos bráquetes cerâmicos. As principais limitações foram a necessidade de utilização de um agente de união (ex. silano) para a adesão química aos adesivos resinosos, a elevada resistência friccional oferecida aos arcos metálicos (prejudicando a mecânica de deslizamento) e o desgaste dentário em caso de contato entre bráquete e dente (antagonista). Conclusão: A adesão (resistência de união, em MPa) dos bráquetes deve ser sufi-cientemente elevada para resistir à descolagem espontânea, suportar os esforços mastigatórios e cargas parafuncionais eventuais, além de absorver os estresses exercidos pelo arco ortodôntico no controle tridimensional do dente. Ao mesmo tempo, deve ser suficientemente baixa para evitar a transmissão de estresse elevado ao substrato, na remoção do bráquete ao final do tratamento...

There is a high demand for orthodontic treatment in adult patients, who often require a proper adhesion of brackets to various substrates in addition to enamel, such as: porcelain, metal alloys, amalgam, gold, dentin, composite resins and acrylic. Objective: To present a comprehensive literature review on the bonding mechanisms used to bond ceramic brackets to various substrates found in the dental clinic and the properties of ceramic brackets, suggesting bonding protocols grounded on Evidence-based dentistry. Methods: The search was done in the PubMed database considering published papers from 1986 on ceramic brackets and bond strength in orthodontics. Results: Biocompatibility and esthetics were reported as the major advantages of ceramic brackets. The main limitations were the need to use a bonding agent (e.g. silane) for chemical bond to the resin-based adhesives, the high frictional resistance offered by the metal arches (impairing the sliding mechanics) and the opposing tooth wear in case of contact between bracket and tooth. Conclusion: Brackets adhesion (bond strength, in MPa) should be high enough to resist spontaneous debonding, to withstand the masticatory forces and any parafunctional loads, in addition to absorbing the stresses generated by the orthodontic arch in the three-dimensional control of the tooth. At the same time, it should be low enough to avoid the transmission of high stresses to the substrate on debonding the bracket at the end of treatment...

RESUMO

A evolução da Implantodontia nas últimas duas décadas trouxe consigo a necessidade de aprimorar a utilização de técnicas de aumento dos rebordos ósseos maxilares, receptores dos implantes dentários, por meio de enxertos ósseos. Com este objetivo, a utilização de material proveniente de bancos de ossos, passou a despertar bastante interesse aos cirurgiões dentistas, por apresentar vantagens como redução do tempo cirúrgico e menor morbidade. Este trabalho relata um caso clínico de paciente portador de severa atrofia de maxila, com necessidade de reconstrução total do rebordo alveolar usando enxertia óssea, seguida de reabilitação com implantes. Os resultados reportados na literatura e apresentado neste relato de caso demonstram que o osso alógeno é uma alternativa adequada para realização de enxerto ósseo.

The evolution of dental implants over the past two decades has brought along the need to improve the use of augmentation techniques for maxillary bones, recipients of dental implants, using bone grafts. With this aim, the use of material from bone banks has gained the attention of dentists due to advantages such as reduced surgical time and morbidity. This paper reports a clinical case of severe maxilla atrophy, needing complete reconstruction of the alveolar bone using bone grafting, followed by implant rehabilitation. Previous reports and the present clinical case show that bone grafting is an adequate treatment option.
