RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine caries inhibition potential of conventional and bulk-fill bioactive composites around restorations. METHODS: Enamel and dentin blocks were prepared using a diamond saw under water irrigation, finished (SiC, 600- and 800-grit) and polished (SiC 1,200, final polish= 0.2 µm). Blocks were then selected through enamel surface microhardness, and enamel and dentin standard cavities were restored (n=10/group) with conventional bioactive composite (Beautifil II, BTF), bulk-fill bioactive composite (Activa BioACTIVE, ACT), glass-ionomer cement (Ionofil Plus, ION), conventional composite (GrandioSO, GSO), and bulk-fill composite (Admira Fusion X-TRA, ADM). Afterwards, the blocks were subjected to pH cycling: 4 hours in demineralization and 20 hours in remineralization solutions for 7 days, before being cut in the middle. One half was used to calculate the carious lesion area (ΔS) using values obtained by cross-sectional microhardness (CSMH) testing. The other half was submitted to polarized light microscopy (PLM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The % of internal gap formation (GAP) of restorations' replicas were analyzed under SEM. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test (α= 5%). RESULTS: In terms of CSMH, ION group exhibited the lowest ΔS values, with no significant difference to ADM. The composites BTF and ACT were similar to each other (P< 0.05) and to their negative controls (GSO and ADM), respectively. ION showed lower caries formation under PLM, whereas the GSO group presented a greater demineralized area. ION presented the highest % of internal GAP formation. Bioactive composites (BTF and ACT) were similar to their corresponding conventional ones (GSO and ADM) in terms of GAP formation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The glass-ionomer cement was more effective in inhibiting the formation of caries lesions around restorations. Because of the glass-ionomer cement's limited application in high load-bearing areas, the conventional bioactive composite would be a promising clinical choice.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim is to evaluate the effect of violet light (VL) and nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) combined with or without 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) and 37% carbamide peroxide (CP). METHODS: Bovine crowns were divided into (n = 10) VL, VL/HP, VL/CP, NTAP, NTAP/HP, NTAP/CP, HP, CP, and C (control) groups. Color and whiteness change (CIELAB-Δ Eab, CIEDE2000-Δ E00 , whiteness index-ΔWID ), color parameters (ΔL, Δa, and Δb), and intrapulpal concentration (µL/mL) of HP were assessed by spectrophotometry. Scanning electron microscopy evaluated the morphology of enamel surface. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey (Δ Eab , ΔE00 , ΔWID , ΔL, and µL/mL) and Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (Δ a and Δ b, α = 5%). RESULTS: VL increased ΔEab and ΔWID of CP (P < .05). VL and NTAP alone resulted in perceptible color and whiteness change, but lower than those in the gel-treated groups (P < .05). Activation modes increased ΔL compared with that of C, but only VL enhanced Δb when applied alone or combined with CP. VL and NTAP did not increase HP diffusion (P > .05) or cause alterations in enamel morphology. However, HP and CP promoted topographical changes. CONCLUSION: VL and NTAP changed color to a lesser extent than bleaching gels. VL produced supplementary effectiveness only for CP (ΔEab and ΔWID ), without increasing HP diffusion or changing enamel morphology. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Although violet LED light and nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) promoted in vitro perceptible bleaching without compromising enamel morphology, bleaching gels (hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide) were more effective than VL or NTAP. VL or NTAP did not increase intrapulpal diffusion of peroxide.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of penetration of obturation cement in artificial lateral canals after Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI) with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for different times. Fifty upper molar palatine roots were used, in which two artificial lateral canals were made at distances of 7 and 3 millimeters from the root apex. After instrumentation and drying the canal, the final toilet stage was performed on five groups (n = 10), as follows: G1 - EDTA 17% + PUI for 10 seconds; G2 - EDTA 17% + PUI for 20 seconds; G3 - EDTA 17% + PUI for 30 seconds; G4 - EDTA 17% + PUI for 60 seconds; G5 - EDTA 17% + activation by instrument R50 for 5 minutes (Control). The canals were sealed by the single cone technique, and after 72 hours, sectioned in two planes transverse to the artificial canal, to see the degree of penetration of the sealing cement. In the radiographic analysis, there was no statistical difference (p> 0.05) between groups in the two artificial lateral canals. However, PUI of EDTA for 60 seconds produced a significant difference in the degree of penetration of the sealing cement (p <0.05) at 7 mm from the apex. Therefore, PUI with EDTA for 60 seconds promoted a higher degree of penetration of the obturator cement in the artificial lateral canal.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o grau de penetração do cimento obturador em canais laterais artficiais, após Irrigação Ultrassonica Passiva (IUP) do ácido etilenodiaminotetracético (EDTA), em diferentes tempos. Foram utilizadas 50 raízes palatinas de molares superiores, e em seguida confeccionados dois canais laterais artificiais a 7 e 3 milímetros do ápice radicular. Após a instrumentação e secagem dos canais, foi iniciada a etapa de toillet final, de acordo com os seguintes grupos (n=10): G1- EDTA 17%+IUP durante 10 segundos; G2 - EDTA 17%+IUP durante 20 segundos; G3 - EDTA 17%+IUP durante 30 segundos; G4- EDTA 17%+IUP durante 60 segundos; G5- EDTA 17%+ativação pelo instrumento R50 durante 5 minutos (Controle). Os canais foram obturados pela técnica do cone único, e após 72 horas, seccionados em dois planos transversais dos canais artificiais, para se visualizar o grau de penetração do cimento obturador. Na análise radiográfica, não houve diferença estatística (p>0,05) entre os grupos, nos dois canais laterais artificiais. Entretanto, a IUP do EDTA por 60 segundos conseguiu um obter resultado significativo, sobre o grau de penetração do cimento obturador (p<0,05) a 7 milímetros do ápice. Portanto, a IUP do EDTA no tempo de 60 segundos promoveu maior grau de penetração do cimento obturador nos canais laterais artifciais.
