RESUMO
Objective: this in vitro study compared the adhesive strengths of the resin sealant with the Giomer technology sealant under salivary contamination. Materials and Methods: fifty-two bovine incisors were randomly divided into four groups (n=13): GI, a resin sealant (Fluroshield®) without salivary contamination (control of GII); GII, Fluroshield sealant + salivary contamination; GIII, a Giomer technology sealant (BeautiSealant®) without salivary contamination (control of GIV); and GIV, BeautiSealant® sealant + salivary contamination. In the salivary contamination groups, artificial saliva was used through a pipette, and after 20 s, it was air-dried and the sealant was applied. Shear strength tests were performed using a universal testing machine. One-way ANOVA variance and Tukey's test were used for multiple comparisons. The fracture types were analyzed using a stereomicroscope with 40X magnification. Results: the means and standard deviations (SD) of adhesion for Fluroshield® and BeautiSealant® in the group without salivary contamination were 15.27 (±0.96) and 11.90 (±0.94), and for the group with salivary contamination, 13.14 (±1.03) and 8.95 (±1.33), respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference between GI and GII p=0.020, GIII and GIV p=0.041. Mixed failures were detected in GI (38%), GII (44%), GIII (38%), and GIV (62%). Conclusion: there was a statistically significant decrease in the adhesive strength values in the groups with salivary contamination for both the sealants studied. However, no significant difference was observed between the two sealants when the materials used were compared.
Objetivo: este estudo in vitro comparou as forças adesivas do selante resinoso com o selante da tecnologia Giomer sob contaminação salivar. Materiais e Métodos: cinquenta e dois incisivos bovinos foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos (n=13): GI, um selante resinoso (Fluroshield®) sem contaminação salivar (controle do GII); GII, selante Fluroshield + contaminação salivar; GIII, um selante com tecnologia Giomer (BeautiSealant®) sem contaminação salivar (controle do GIV); e GIV, selante BeautiSealant® + contaminação salivar. Nos grupos de contaminação salivar, a saliva artificial foi utilizada por meio de uma pipeta e, após 20 s, foi seca ao ar e aplicado o selante. Os testes de resistência ao cisalhamento foram realizados usando uma máquina de teste universal. A variância ANOVA de uma via e o teste de Tukey foram usados para comparações múltiplas. Os tipos de fratura foram analisados em estereomicroscópio com aumento de 40X. Resultados: as médias e desvios padrão (DP) de adesão para Fluroshield® e BeautiSealant® no grupo sem contaminação salivar foram 15,27 (±0,96) e 11,90 (±0,94), e após contaminação salivar foram 13,14 (±1,03) e 8,95 (±1,33), respectivamente, indicando haver diferença estatisticamente significante entre GI e GII p=0.020, GIII e GIV p=0.041. Falhas mistas foram detectadas em GI (38%), GII (44%), GIII (38%) e GIV (62%). Conclusão: houve diminuição estatisticamente significativa dos valores de resistência adesiva nos grupos com contaminação salivar para ambos os selantes estudados. No entanto, não foi observada diferença significativa entre os dois selantes quando comparados os materiais utilizados.

This study evaluated shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI) and fracture mode of chemically and mechanically retained ceramic brackets bonded with different composite resins and irradiated with CO2 laser. The null hypothesis was that ceramic brackets bonded with different composite resins and irradiated with CO2 laser would have similar SBS values. Ninety human premolars were divided into four experimental groups according to the combination of type of composite resin (Transbond XT and Z 250) and type of ceramic bracket (Fascination and Mystique), and two control groups (n=15). In the four experimental groups, the brackets were irradiated with CO2 laser at 10 W for 3 seconds before SBS testing. Enamel surface ARI was calculated after debonding under electron microscopy scanning. ANOVA and the Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis. The laser groups had lower SBS values than the non-irradiated groups (control) (p<0.05). The mechanically retained brackets (Mystique) had the higher (p<0.05) and Z250 had the lower SBS values after CO2 laser irradiation. The groups bonded with Z250 had the highest ARI. Adhesive fractures were the most prevalent. The null hypothesis was rejected. CO2 laser decreased SBS efficiently and facilitated debonding of mechanically and chemically retained ceramic brackets.

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a resistência de união ao cisalhamento da colagem (RCC), o índice de remanescente de adesivo (IRA) e o modo de fratura de bráquetes cerâmicos com retenção química e mecânica colados com diferentes compositos e irradiados com laser de CO2. A hipótese nula testada foi que bráquetes colados com diferentes compósitos e irradiados com laser de CO2 apresentam valores semelhantes de RCC. Noventa pré-molares humanos foram divididos em 6 grupos (n=15): 2 controles e 4 experimentais que se diferenciaram pelo tipo de bráquete ceramic (Fascination and Mystique) e pelo compósito de fixação (Transbond XT e Z 250). Nos quatro grupos experimentais, os bráquetes foram irradiados com laser de CO2 com 10W por 3 segundos anteriormente ao teste de RCC. O IRA das superficies de esmalte foram avaliados após a descolagem e submetidos a análise em microscopia electrônica de varredura (MEV). Para análise estatística foram utilizados ANOVA e o teste de mann-Whitney. Os grupos laser mostraram valores de RCC menores que os grupos não irradiados (controles) (p<0.05). Os bráquetes com retenção mecânica (Mystique) mostraram alta RCC (p<0.05) e o compósito Z 250 obteve os mais baixos valores de RCC após irradiação com laser. Os grupos colados com o compósito Z 250 apresentaram os mais altos escores do IRA. O modo de fratura mais prevalente foi a adesiva. A hipótese nula foi rejeitada. O laser de CO2 foi eficaz para diminuir os valores de RCC e facilitou a descolagem dos bráquetes cerâmicos de retenção química e mecânica

To evaluate the efficiency of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the midpalatal suture (MPS) and pain sensation in patients undergoing rapid palatal expansion (RPE). Thirty-four individuals with the diagnosis of skeletal maxillary hypoplasia were divided in two groups: laser (n = 18) and control (n = 16). Treatment plan consisted of the use of the Hyrax expander in all patients. Subjects in the laser group were irradiated with diode laser (980 nm, 0.3 W) in six spots bilaterally distributed along the MPS for 10 s during the active phase of treatment and after overcorrection (passive phase of RPE). Control group received sham irradiations with the laser in standby mode to characterize the placebo effect. Digital occlusal radiographs were performed at different time-points for bone formation evaluation in both groups. The effects of laser irradiation on pain were assessed by the visual analog scale (Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale). Bone formation between groups was not significantly different (p = 0.2273). At 3 months, bone formation was not yet complete in both groups. Pain sensation was similar between groups (p = 0.3940). However, pain was significantly higher for the first 7 days of treatment compared with the 14th day. PBMT did not accelerate bone regeneration in the MPS and pain sensation was similar.
