RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of lithium disilicate (L), cemented on different substrates (epoxy resin - E and metal - M) with dual-cure resin cement (Rc) and zinc phosphate cement (Zc), not aged, thermally aged (TC) or thermo-mechanical aged (TC/MC). Material and Methods: Disks of L, E, and M were fabricated, and the cementation was performed according to the following groups: ERc (L+E+Rc); MRc (L+M+Rc); MZc (L+M+Zc); EZc (L+E+Zc). Ten samples from each described group were tested in BFS, ten more samples were subjected to TC (1×104 cycles between 5 ºC and 55 ºC water), and the last 10 samples were subjected to TC/MC (MC: 1.2×106 cycles, 50 N, 3.8 Hz). The BFS test was performed and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to evaluate the failure mode. The effect of the cementation strategy (cement/substrate) was compared in each aging method and the effect of the aging method was evaluated for each cementation strategy by one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test (α=0.05). Results: The strength values were highest to M (237.8 ~ 463.9 MPa), in comparison to the E (41.03 ~ 66.76 MPa), despite aging and luting agent. Flexural strength data decreased after TC and TC/MC in groups cemented with Zc, but was stable when cemented with Rc. SEM analysis indicated that failure origins were located at the tensile surface of the L. Conclusion: Lithium disilicate discs cemented to the metallic substrate presented the highest biaxial flexural strength. The cementation with dual-cure resin cement did not decrease BFS after aging (AU)
Objetivo: Avaliar a resistência à flexão biaxial (BFS) do dissilicato de lítio (L), cimentado sobre diferentes substratos (resina epóxi - E e metal - M) com cimento resinoso dual (Rc) e cimento de fosfato de zinco (Zc), não envelhecido, submetido ao envelhecido térmico (TC) ou ao envelhecido térmico-mecânico (TC/MC). Material e Métodos: Foram confeccionados discos de L, E e M, e a cimentação foi realizada de acordo com os seguintes grupos: ERc (L+E+Rc); MRc (L+M+Rc); MZc (L+M+Zc); EZc (L+E+Zc). Dez amostras de cada grupo descrito foram testadas em BFS, mais dez amostras foram submetidas à TC (1×104 ciclos de imersão em água entre 5 ºC e 55 ºC), e as últimas 10 amostras foram submetidas à TC/MC (MC: 1.2 ×106 ciclos, 50 N, 3.8 Hz). Foram realizados os testes de BFS e a microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) para avaliar o modo de falha. O efeito da estratégia de cimentação (cimento/substrato) foi comparado em cada método de envelhecimento e o efeito do método de envelhecimento foi avaliado para cada estratégia de cimentação por ANOVA a um fator e teste post-hoc de Tukey (α=0,05). Resultados: Os valores de resistência foram maiores para M (237.8 ~ 463.9 MPa), em comparação com E (41.03 ~ 66.76 MPa), independentemente do envelhecimento e do agente cimentante utilizado. Os dados de resistência à flexão diminuíram após TC e TC/MC nos grupos cimentados com Zc, mas se mantiveram estáveis quando cimentados com Rc. A análise MEV indicou que a origem das falhas estava localizada na superfície de tração do L. Conclusão: Os discos de dissilicato de lítio cimentados ao substrato metálico apresentaram maior resistência à flexão biaxial. A cimentação com cimento resinoso dual não diminuiu o BFS após o envelhecimento (AU)

PURPOSE: To simulate biodegradation and wear of stained and glazed CAD lithium disilicate ceramic, and evaluate their effects on the microbial adherence and mechanical and surface properties of lithium disilicate ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 160 lithium disilicate ceramic discs were fabricated and divided in eight groups according to manual stain and glaze application with a fine paint brush (without stain and glaze; with stain and glaze) and aging procedures (no aging; wear at 30 N load, 1.7 Hz, 3 × 105 cycles; biodegradation by exposure to microcosm biofilm; biodegradation + wear; biodegradation + wear). Profilometry was performed to determine the surface roughness and the wear consequences. Biaxial flexural strength test was performed, and a Streptococcus mutans adherence test was conducted to evaluate the number of colony forming units. RESULTS: Unaged samples with and without stain and glaze presented the lowest values of surface roughness (p < 0.001), but after aging (wear, biodegradation, or both), the samples in the stain and glaze groups were rougher than those in the no stain and glaze groups (p < 0.001). The stain and glaze groups showed the highest volume of wear after aging (p = 0.04), and had the lowest flexural strength values (p < 0.01), irrespective of the aging method. The aging method did not affect the flexural strength (p = 0.06). The number of colonies forming units was higher for biodegradation + no stain and glaze, biodegradation + wear + no stain and glaze, no aging + stain and glaze, biodegradation + stain and glaze, and biodegradation + wear + stain and glaze. The lowest values were observed for no aging + no stain and glaze. CONCLUSION: The staining and glazing of lithium disilicate increased the surface wear and bacterial adherence, and decreased biaxial flexural strength of the material. When exposed to S. mutans, surface roughness increased, and biodegradation favored bacterial adherence.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to compare the effect of four irrigation solutions for post space cleaning on the bond strength between glass fiber post and root dentine. Forty bovine roots were root-filled and randomly divided into four groups (n=10), according to the irrigation solution: CG (Control Group): saline solution; SH (Sodium Hypochlorite Group); CLX (Chlorhexidine group) and EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid group). Specimens were submitted to mechanical aging and push-out test. Statistical analysis (ANOVA two-way and Tukey test; p<0.05) was performed. A stereomicroscope was used for failure mode classification. EDTA showed higher bond strength values, differing statistically from SH and CG (p<0.05). Adhesive failure between dentin and resinous cement was predominant, followed by mixed failures. SEM images showed pronounced smear layer removal in the EDTA group. 17 % EDTA was better than other solutions for cleaning of post space when using glass fiber posts.
RESUMEN: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar el efecto de cuatro soluciones de irrigación para la limpieza del espacio del poste sobre la fuerza de unión entre el poste de fibra de vidrio y la dentina radicular. Se rellenaron cuarenta raíces bovinas y se dividieron aleatoriamente en cuatro grupos (n = 10), según la solu- ción de riego: CG (Grupo Control): solución salina; SH (Gru- po de hipoclorito de sodio); CLX (grupo clorhexidina) y EDTA (grupo ácido etilendiaminotetraacético). Las muestras se sometieron a una prueba de envejecimiento mecánico y de expulsión. Se realizó análisis estadístico (ANOVA bidireccional y prueba de Tukey; p <0,05). Se utilizó un microscopio estereoscópico para la clasificación del modo de falla. EDTA mostró valores de fuerza de unión más altos, difiriendo estadísticamente de SH y CG (p <0,05). Pre-dominó la falla adhesiva entre dentina y cemento resinoso, seguida de fallas mixtas. Las imágenes SEM mostraron una eliminación pronunciada de la capa de frotis en el grupo de EDTA. El EDTA al 17 % fue mejor que otras soluciones para la limpieza del espacio de los postes cuando se utilizan postes de fibra de vidrio.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the composition, flexural strength and fatigue behaviour of lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) after repeated firings and different staining techniques. METHODS: LD discs were fabricated and divided according to number of firing cycles and staining technique: CO - control, discs were crystallized (850°C/10min); SC - single-step characterization - crystallization and staining (applied with a thin brush) were performed in a single step with one firing cycle (850°C/10min); and DC - double-step characterization - crystallization firing cycle was performed first (850°C/10min), followed by staining firing cycle (770°C/90s). Specimens were fired two, four or six times (one crystallization firing cycle and one, three or five staining firing cycles), resulting into 9 groups (n=30): COII, COIV, COVI, SCII, SCIV, SCVI, DCII, DCIV and DCVI. The composition of the specimens was investigated (EDS, XRD, Raman spectroscopy), and the biaxial flexural strength (n=10) and staircase tests (n=20, 5×104 cycles, 5Hz) were performed. Data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). RESULTS: EDS and XRD revealed amorphous content for stained groups. Biaxial flexural strength was not affected by repeated firings in any group, but stained groups presented lower flexural strength than control groups (p=0.001). The fatigue limit results decreased in all groups compared to flexural strength. SC groups showed similar (SCII and SCIV) or even higher fatigue limits (SCVI) than the control groups, and DC showed the lowest fatigue limit values. SEM and Raman suggested that the interfaces between staining and the LD showed only an overlap for the DC groups, whereas for the SC it was suggested an interaction between the stain and the LD. SIGNIFICANCE: Repeated firings did not result in decreased lithium disilicate flexural strength.Staining affected flexural strength and also resulted in increased amorphous content in the characterized specimens. Single-step staining resulted in the highest fatigue limit.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effect of staining and repeated firings on color, translucency and surface proprieties of CAD/CAM lithium disilicate (LD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred eighty LD discs were made (ISO 6872) and distributed in different groups (n = 20): control (CO)-no treatment; single-step characterization (SC)-crystallization and staining fired together; and double step characterization (DC)-crystallization and then staining. The samples were submitted to two, four, or six firings, resulting in nine groups: COII, COIV, COVI, SCII, SCIV, SCVI, DCII, DCIV, and DCVI. The color and translucency were measured by a reflectance spectrophotometer. Surface roughness (Ra) and Vickers nano-hardness were also measured. ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests were used (α = .05). RESULTS: Only CO and DC demonstrated significant color alterations (ΔE00 > 1.8). SC and DC did not show changes in translucency by the number of firings (P > .05); however, for CO (P = .02) these values increased. Nano-hardness was similar in all groups (P > .05). Ra values indicated differences due to the type of characterization (SC presented the highest values) and number of firings (CO and DC groups) (P < .01). CONCLUSION: SC promoted color, translucency, and roughness stability after repeated firings. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The single characterization technic in CAD/CAM lithium disilicate presents good color, translucency, and hardness stability, which promote predictable results to monolithic restoration.

Hoplonannus McAtee Maloch, 1925 comprises three species described from Central America. Females of all these species are known only from brachypterous specimens. This paper describes the first South American species of the genus, Hoplonannus australis sp. nov. The new species differs from its congeners, in females, by the submacroptery, presence of ocelli and a basal bulge in the seventh sternite; in males, it differs by the presence of a process in the eighth tergite and the right paramere bifurcate apically, with branches subparallel. These traits entail a new diagnosis for the genus.

Aim: evaluate the influence of etching time with hydrofluoric acid on the bond strength of a Yttrium-stabilized polycrystalline tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramic with a superficial glaze layer and a resin cement. Methods: Y-TZP blocks were cut to obtain 40 samples. They were distributed into four groups (n = 10): control treated by sandblasting with silica-coated alumina (RS) and three glazed experimental groups with different etching times: GS20s, GS60s and GS100s. Cementation was done with a universal adhesive and a resin cement. Two cement cylinders were made in each block. After thermocycling, the shear bond test was performed. Two extra samples of each group were made to obtain profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, mapping and backscattered electron detector images. Energy dispersive spectrometry and goniometry were also performed. Results: Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests demonstrated bond strength differences only between the RS (22.10MPa) and the GS groups (GS20s: 8,10Mpa; GS60s: 10.49MPa; GS100s: 7.53MPa) (p = 0.001), but there was no difference among the experimental groups (p > 0.05). The contact angles were 55.33º (RS); 70.78° (GS100s); 48.20º (GS60s) and 28.73º (GS20s). ANOVA and Tukey test demonstrated similar wettability of RS to GS60s and GS100s (p > 0.05), but all the experimental groups were statistically different between them (p < 0.001). Qualitative image analysis revealed an irregular glaze distribution after etching. The thickness of the remaining glaze layer measured by profilometry was 5±1µm (GS20S), 4±1µm (GS60S) and 3±1µm (GS100s). Conclusion: The etching time of glazed zirconia did not influence the adhesive strength of the ceramic to the resin cement

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se há alteração no comportamento mecânico e na aderência microbiológica da cerâmica à base de dissilicato de lítio com a técnica de pigmentação extrínseca aplicada, após ser submetida a diferentes condições experimentais. Foram confeccionadas 160 amostras, divididas em grupos com e sem pigmentação (n=80). Destes, cada grupo foi subdividido em Controle, Desgate, Biodegradação e Desgaste com Biodegradação (n=20).15 amostras de cada subgrupo foram submetidas ao teste de resistência à flexão e 5 para o teste de aderência microbiológica. As amostras passaram anteriormente por testes complementares para caracterização da superfície (rugosidade, perfilometria volumétrica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV)). Os resultados foram submetidos a análise estatística descritiva (média e desvio padrão) e inferencial, mediante o teste paramétrico de análise de variância (ANOVA) dois fatores e teste de Tukey (ï¡ = 0,05). O fator pigmentação extrínseca influenciou negativamente no comportamento mecânico da cerâmica, apresentando significância estatística (p = 0,000), assim como a interação entre o tipo de condição experimental e a pigmentação (p = 0,020). Entretanto, na aderência microbiológica, foi a condição experimental que influenciou negativamente no comportamento microbiológico (p = 0,000), assim como a interação entre a condição experimental e a pigmentação (p = 0,000). Nas análises complementares, observou-se que a interação entre os fatores aumentou a rugosidade superfial (p = 0,000) e aumentou o volume perdido pelo desgatse (p = 0,040). As microscopias da superficie mostram as características de cada grupo, mostrando as diferenças entre as condições experimentais com e sem pigmentação extrínseca. E as microscopias da aderência microbiológica ilustram e confirmam os resultados obtidos no teste estatístico. Concluiu-se que a pigmentação extrínseca altera as propriedades mecânicas da cerâmica de dissilicato de lítio, reduzindo a resistência à flexão e aumentando a rugosidade superficial e o desgaste. Porém, a aderência microbiológica foi aumentada pela condição experimental. Entretanto, a interação entre os fatores contribuiu para esse aumento e para agravar a alteração nas propriedades mecânicas(AU)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical and microbiological behavior of the ceramics based on lithium disilicate with extrinsic characterization. For this, 160 discs were made, divided into two large groups, with extrinsec characterization and without, after which each was divided into four groups (n = 20): Control, Wear, Biodegradation and Biodegradation with Wear. Fifteen samples from each group were submitted to the flexural strength test and 5 submitted to the microbiological adherence test. Prior to the destructive test of flexural strength, the representative samples of each group underwent complementary tests for surface characterization. The results were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis (mean and standard deviation) and inferential, using the parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA) two way and Tukey test (ï¡ = 0,05). The extrinsec characterization factor influenced the mechanical behavior of the ceramic, presenting statistical significance (p = 0.000), as well as the interaction between the type of experimental condition and the extrinsec characterization (p = 0.020). However, in the microbiological adherence, it was the experimental condition that influenced the microbiological behavior (p = 0.000), as well as the interaction between the experimental condition and the extrinsec characterization (p = 0.000). It was concluded that the makeup influenced the mechanical behavior of the ceramic, and the experimental condition influenced the microbiological adherence. The interaction between the factors influenced both the mechanical behavior and the microbiological adherence(AU)

The aim of this study was to determine if multiple processing (heat-pressing) of a dental ceramic influences flexural strength, hardness, and microstructure. Ninety bar-shaped specimens (15 mm × 4 mm × 2 mm) of a pressed ceramic (Vita PM9) were fabricated and randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 15) according to the factors "number of pressings" (C1, C2, and C3, fired 1, 2, and 3 times, respectively) and "mechanical cycling" (M). Half of the specimens were mechanically cycled (106 cycles, 45 N, 3.4 Hz, in water) and all specimens were tested for 3-point bending (0.5 mm/min, load 1000 kgf) and Vickers hardness (19.6 N for 20 s). X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the phases and scanning electron microscopy to characterize the microstructure. The flexural strength data was statistically analyzed with Weibull analysis, ANOVA, and Tukey test. Hardness data was evaluated by 2-way ANOVA and Fisher test. All tests were performed with a significance level of 0.05. Two-way ANOVA revealed that neither "number of pressings" (p=0.085) or "mechanical cycling" (0.055) significantly affected flexural strength. But Weibull analysis showed significant difference for Weibull moduli and characteristic strength between groups. For hardness, a statistical difference was seen for the interaction "Number of pressings * Mechanical cycling", (p = 0.016). Hardness decreased in the following order: C1 (775±17.2), CM3 (751±101), CM2 (735±45), C3 (701±82), CM1 (671±82), and C2 (663±92). Fewer defects were observed with an increased number of firings. Therefore, the possibility of recycling PM9 ceramic does not interfere in the evaluated mechanical properties and improves microstructure.

The aim of this study was compare the effect of two in vitro ageing protocols to intraoral aging on the flexural strength of a lithium disilicate (LD) ceramic bars with clamped ends. After polishing and crystallization, the both ends of the bars were cemented to a metallic device and subjected to mechanical cycling, thermomechanical cycling, or intraoral ageing. Ten volunteers used an intraoral device - similar to an occlusal splint with a balanced contact condition on the occlusal surface of the ceramic bar - during 8â¯h night time / 30 days. Both in vitro and intraoral ageing decreased the flexural residual strength of LD, with the lowest values obtained after intraoral ageing. Thus, the in vitro ageing protocols tested in this study revealed to be less deleterious than intraoral ageing of LD.

Pachycoris torridus (Scopoli) and P. klugii Burmeister are two widespread, colorful and well known neotropical Pachycorinae, with partial sympatry in southern Mexico and Central America. Both species are polychromatic, which is why they each present a long list of synonyms. However, with exception of papers describing their different color morphs, there are surprisingly few works dealing with the morphology and taxonomy of these species. This paper details for the first time the genitalia of both sexes and both species. Although some color patterns are almost identical between these species, P. klugii and P. torridus can be perfectly distinguished with basis on their internal and external genitalia.

Baccharis retusa, a medicinal Brazilian plant from Asteraceae, has been used in Brazilian folk medicine to treatment of several illnesses, including parasitic diseases. Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the n-hexane extract from the aerial parts of B. retusa resulted in the isolation and characterization of three active related diterpenes: ent-15ß-senecioyl-oxy-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (1), ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic (2) and ent-16-oxo-17-nor-kauran-19-oic (3) acids. The structures of isolated compounds were defined by spectroscopic analysis, including NMR and HRESIMS. Antitrypanosomal activity of 1-3 was performed against cell-derived trypomastigotes using the colorimetric resazurin assay. The obtained results demonstrated that isolated compounds displayed a reduced toxicity against NCTC cells and were effective against the trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi with IC50 values of 3.8µM (1), 75.3µM (2) and 44.2µM (3). Additionally, compound 3 displayed activity against amastigote forms of T. cruzi with IC50 of 83.2µM. Compound 1 displayed the highest selectivity index (SI) when considered the trypomastigote forms, and its effect in the plasma membrane of parasite was evaluated using the fluorescent probe SYTOX Green. A considerable permeabilization (57%) in the membrane of the parasite was observed when compared to the untreated trypomastigotes. These data demonstrate, for the first time, the antitrypanosomal activity and mechanism of action of 1 and related compounds 2 and 3, obtained from aerial parts of B. retusa.

Objective: This research aimed to verify the performance of thermally activated acrylic resin (TAAR) combined with a mix of glass and aramid fibers and/or composite resin of indirect use by a tree point bending test. Material and Methods: Ten samples, with 65 x 10 x 2.5 mm, were prepared for each group (n = 10): CO, control of only TAAR; CR, in which an 60 mm indirect composite resin was polymerized together with the acrylic resin during the thermo-polymerization cycle; SS, in which ceramic glass mixed with aramid fibers cut 60 mm in length were incorporated into the samples; and SC, in which the same fibers were incorporated with addiction of the indirect composite resin. A three point flexural strength test was performed with a universal testing machine with a load of 50KgF at a speed of 5 mm/min in the center of the samples supported by a suitable device. The reinforced face was placed to the tensile side. The statistical one way ANOVA and Tukey tests were made with a significance level of 95%. Results: The mean value for the CO was 60,27 ± 24,18 MPa, for CR it was 38,39±12,75 MPa, for SS it was 79,97±12,75 Mpa and for CS it was 32,40±9,05 MPa. Conclusion: The use of glass and aramid fibers at the base of a TAAR increased the three-point flexural strength, however when indirect composite resin was incorporated, a significant drop of this mechanical property was observed.

Objective: to verify the frequency in non-carious lesions in patients with and without sleep bruxism and to try to list the occurrence of such lesions in patients with this parafunctional habit. Material and Methods: 67 patients ranging from 18 to 70 years of age, which all signed a free and consent form were evaluated. Patients with neurological diseases and/or partially or totally edentulous were excluded from the study. Bruxism diagnosis was performed using a validated questionnaire based on the combination of at least two positive confirmations of bruxism. Diagnosis of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) was performed by a single calibrated examiner, using #5 clinical probe, intraoral mirror and air flow, analyzing all surfaces of the teeth present in the mouth. The lesions were classified as abfraction, abrasion or erosion. Statistical analysis was performed by U MannWhitney test, at 5% level of significance. Results: sixty patients were diagnosed with bruxism (91.3%) and only seven patients (8.7%) did not present this parafuctional habit. Regardless the gender, five patients (10.1%) presented absence of lesions and 62 patients (89.9%) presented some NCCL. 70% presented abfraction, 41% abrasion and no patient presented erosion. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.03, which demonstrated significant statistical difference of NCCL between the groups. Conclusion: a higher frequency of NCCL in patients with bruxism was observed when compared to patients without this parafuction. (AU)
Objetivo: verificar a frequência de lesões não cariosas nos pacientes com e sem bruxismo do sono e tentar relacionar a ocorrência dessas lesões a esse hábito parafuncional. Material e Métodos: foram avaliados 67 pacientes com idade entre 18 e 70 anos, os quais assinaram um termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. Foram excluídos da pesquisa pacientes com doenças neurológicas e/ou endêntulos parciais ou totais. O diagnóstico de bruxismo foi realizado através de um questionário validado que se baseiam na combinação de pelo menos duas constatações positivas de bruxismo. O diagnóstico das lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNC) foi realizado por um único examinador calibrado, e observadas mediante utilização de sonda clínica n° 5, espelho clínico intraoral e jato de ar, analisando todas as faces de todos dos dentes presentes em boca. Essas foram classificadas em abfração, abrasão ou erosão. A análise estatística foi realizada pelo teste U de Mann-Whitney para tratamento estatístico com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: sessenta pacientes foram diagnosticados com bruxismo (91,3%) e apenas sete pacientes (8,7%) não possuíam esse hábito parafuncional. Independente do gênero, cinco pacientes (10,1%) possuíam ausência e sessenta e dois pacientes (89,9%) possuíam presença de alguma LCNC. 70% possuíam abfração, 41% abrasão e nenhum paciente apresentou erosão. O teste estatístico obteve um p-valor igual a 0,03; demostrando uma diferença estatisticamente significativa da presença de LCNC entre os grupos. Conclusão: nota-se que houve uma maior frequência de LCNC em pacientes com bruxismo em comparação ao grupo que não apresentou essa parafunção. (AU)

O conhecimento do comportamento mecânico do sistema de implante corresponde a um importante parâ- metro no prognóstico de uma reabilitação protética. Objetivo: avaliar a influência do formato de tecido ósseo na distribuição de tensões no implante do tipo cone morse e tecido ósseo por meio do método dos elementos finitos tridimensionais. Materiais e método: foram utilizados três tipos de formatos de modelos para tecidos ósseos: a) paralelepípedo; b) tronco elíptico; c) gerado a partir dos dados de uma tomografia. Nos modelos tridimensionais, foram instalados implantes que receberam aplicação de duas cargas de 100 N no sentido craniocaudal: 1) na direção vertical ao longo do eixo axial e 2) na direção oblíqua a 45° do eixo axial de vestibular para lingual. Resultados: as tensões de von Mises máximas (MPa) nos modelos do implante cone morse (CM) e do tecido ósseo do tipo paralelepípedo foram de 14.30 no carregamento vertical e de 60.78 no carregamento oblíquo; no modelo de tecido ósseo elíptico, foram de 14.69 no carregamento vertical e de 71.66 no carregamento oblíquo; no modelo de tecido ósseo com a configuração originada da tomografia, foram de 15.04 no carregamento vertical e de 79.15 no carregamento oblíquo. Conclusão: o formato dos modelos de tecido ósseo influenciou no comportamento e na distribuição das tensões, sendo que o modelo gerado pelos dados da tomografia apresentou os maiores valores de tensões.
