RESUMO
Marine traffic is the most common and chronic source of ocean noise pollution. Despite the evidence of detrimental effects of noise exposure on fish, knowledge about the effects on the critical early life stages - embryos and larvae - is still scarce. Here, we take a natural habitat-based approach to examine potential impacts of boat noise exposure in early life stages in a wild fish population of the Lusitanian toadfish (Halobatrachus didactylus). In-situ experiments were carried out in the Tagus estuary, an estuary with significant commercial and recreational boat traffic. Nests with eggs were exposed to either ambient (control) or boat noise (treatment), for 1 fortnight. Eggs were photographed before being assigned to each treatment, and after exposure, to count number of eggs and/or larvae to assess survival, and sampled to study development and oxidative stress and energy metabolism-related biomarkers. Data concerns 4 sampling periods (fortnights) from 2 years. Results indicate that offspring survival did not differ between treatments, but boat noise induced a detrimental effect on embryos and larvae stress response, and on larvae development. Embryos showed reduced levels of electron transport system (ETS), an energy metabolism-related biomarker, while larvae showed higher overall stress responses, with increased levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and DNA damage (oxidative stress related responses), ETS, and reduced growth. With this study, we provided the first evidence of detrimental effects of boat noise exposure on fish development in the field and on stress biomarker responses. If these critical early stages are not able to compensate and/or acclimate to the noise stress later in the ontogeny, then anthropogenic noise has the potential to severely affect this and likely other marine fishes, with further consequences for populations resilience and dynamics.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of finishing and polishing systems and toothbrush abrasion on transmittance (T) and surface roughness (Ra) of three composite resins (Filtek Z350 XT, Tetric N-Ceram, and IPS Empress Direct). Eighteen resin disks (10 mm diameter × 2 mm thick) finished by polyester strips had initial surface smoothness recorded, representing phase 1 (P1). Specimens were divided into three groups (n=6) according to the finishing/polishing instrument used (OneGloss, TopGloss, and Sof-Lex) to compose phase 2 samples (P2). Then specimens were subjected to 514 cycles of toothbrush simulation using a toothpaste slurry, with a constant load applied to soft bristles, and were then washed (phase 3=P3). After each phase, the specimens were examined by an optical profiler and spectrophotometer to measure Ra and T. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance, Tukey and Pearson tests. T values were statistically influenced by composite resin (âp=0.000) and phase of measurement (âp=0.000) factors, while the finishing/polishing system used (âp=0.741) did not affect T. On the other hand, Ra values were statistically affected by the factor finishing/polishing system (âp=0.000), but not by composite resin (âp=0.100) and phase of measurement (âp=0.451). Tetric N-Ceram and Empress Direct presented higher values of roughness when polished by OneGloss, while TopGloss and Sof-Lex showed a lower roughness. It can be concluded that composite resins transmitted more light after dental abrasion. Transmittance of composite resins was not modified by the distinct roughness created by finishing/polishing instruments.

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the radio-opacity of commercially available glass ionomer cements (GICs), flowable resin composites (FRCs) and calcium hydroxide cements (CHCs) and compared this with the radio-opacity of enamel, dentine and aluminium stepwedge. 16 GICs, 8 FRCs and 4 CHCs were analysed. METHODS: Three sets of three samples were prepared: 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm thickness for GIC and FRC and 1 mm thickness for CHC. Specimens of enamel and dentine with the same thicknesses were obtained. As a control, an aluminium stepwedge was used. Radiographs were taken with a digital Kodak RVG 5000 (0.32 s, 30 cm). The images were analysed using the Image Tool(®) program (v. 2.00; The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TV) to obtain the mean grey values. RESULTS: Analysis of variance was used to investigate the significance of differences among the groups. For pairwise comparisons, the Tukey test was applied (p < 0.05). The GICs Ionomaster (Wilcos, Petrópolis, Brazil), Maxxion (FGM, Joinville, Brazil), Bioglass R (Biodinâmica, Ibiporã, Brazil), Bioglass F (Biodinâmica), Vidrion R (SS White, Rio de Janerio, Brazil) and Vidrion F (SS White), presented radio-opacity lower than that of dentine. All FRCs and CHCs studied showed radio-opacity higher than that of dentine. Vitro Fil (DFL, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Magic Glass (Vigodent, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Vitrebond (3M, Sumaré SP, Brazil), Riva Self Cure (SDI, Victoria, Australia), Riva Light Cure (SDI), Fill Magic (Vigodent), Opallis (FGM, Joinville, Brazil), Surefil SDR (Dentsply, Milford, DE), Tetric N (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Lichtenstein), Tetric (Ivoclar Vivadent), Hydro C (Dentsply, Petrópolis, Brazil), Hydcal (Technew, Madalena, Portugal) and Liner (Vigodent) showed radio-opacity similar to or greater than that of enamel for all thicknesses. CONCLUSIONS: The increased thickness of the materials studied increases their radio-opacity. Some commercially available GICs used as a base and liner for restorations have a very low radio-opacity (Ionomaster, Maxxion, Bioglass R, Bioglass F, Vidrion R and Vidrion F).

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research was to evaluate Nd:YAG laser influence on microleakage of class V composite restorations. BACKGROUND DATA: There are few studies concerning laser with restorative materials, considering microleakage. One more sent. METHODS: Thirty six cavities were prepared and divided into three groups (n = 12): group 1, control; group 2, Nd:YAG laser irradiation before adhesive technique; group 3, Nd:YAG laser irradiation after adhesive technique was used as the single bottle. Adhesive system Nd:YAG laser parameters were 320 microm of fiberoptic; energy/pulse of 40 mJ of energy/pulse; repetition rate of 15 Hz; power of 0.6 W; pulsed and non-contact, 1 mm from the surface; 30 seconds in scanning mode; energy density was 49.76 J/cm(2). Cavities were restored with microhybrid composite. After having used a polishing technique, thermocycling and impermeabilization procedures were performed and specimens were submitted to a microleakage test consisting of immersion in aqueous solution of 50% silver nitrate for 8 h, in the total absence of light. After washing and drying procedures, teeth were embedded to facilitate buccal-lingual vertical sectioning. Microleakage was revealed by light. RESULTS: We accomplished Kruskal-Wallis test at 5% level of confidence and observed no statistically significant difference between the tested groups. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the obtained results, it was possible to conclude that Nd:YAG laser in the parameters used, has no influence on marginal microleakage in composite restorations, independent of the moment the laser was used.

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the tensile bond strength of 3 different bonding systems, associated to composite resins, bonded to dentinal surfaces. Forty-four dentinal surfaces were obtained from recently extracted human molars. A standardized smear layer was obtained and the surfaces were divided in 3 groups: G1) self etch + microhybrid composite; G2) single-component adhesive + phosphoric acid + microhybrid composite and G3) conventional system (acid + primer + bond) + microhybrid composite. Specimens made of composite resin were constructed in the shape of an inverted truncated cone with 3 mm of diameter. Tensile bond strength test was performed at the speed of 0.5 mm/min, and the results were expressed in MPa. The analysis of variance ANOVA (p < 0.05) determined that the type of bonding system used influenced tensile bond strength. Tukey's test, however, showed that the results of the comparison between G2 and G3 were the only statistically significant ones, with G2 showing greater values of tensile bond strength.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated microleakage of composite restorations submitted to marginal treatment with Nd:YAG laser and surface sealant. BACKGROUND DATA: Previous studies have demonstrated that Nd:YAG-lased enamel melted and became recrystallized with a morphologic appearance similar to lava, and has been used clinically in the sealing of enamel pits and fissures. METHODS: Class V cavities in enamel of human premolars were restored with composite resin (Z100, 3M) and randomly divided in six groups: G1, control; G2, surface sealant marginal treatment; G3 to G6, were treated with pulsed Nd:YAG laser (1.064 microm) marginal treatment, contact fiberoptic (300 microm), air cooling, for 30 seconds, powers of 1.2-2 W, repetition rates of 20-30 Hz, energies of 40-100 mJ. Teeth were impermeabilized, immersed in a rhodamine dye, sectioned, and evaluated under stereomicroscope microscopy with scores. RESULTS: There were significant differences between marginal treatments; there were no differences between groups 1, 2, and 4, and 3,5, and 6; lower values of microleakage were at groups 3, 5, and 6 (Kruskal-Wallis,p = 0.05). CONCLUSION: Nd:YAG laser showed improved marginal sealing and decreased microleakage of composite resins restorations.

PURPOSE: To evaluate dye penetration of proximal vertical slot resin-based composite (RBC) restorations as a function of cavity size and restorative material employed (RBC, ceramic inserts with low-viscosity resin, and RBC with low-viscosity resin liner). Microleakage was measured using rank scoring and linear measurement of dye penetration and ANOVA and non-parametric tests were used to evaluate the statistical significance of the results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety erupted crack- and caries-free mandibular third molars, extracted for orthodontic reasons, were used. Proximal vertical slots were prepared on the mesial surfaces of the teeth using diamond instruments at high speed under distilled water coolant. Teeth were placed randomly into nine groups. Three sizes of diamond burs of an ultrasonic cavity preparation system were used under low energy in order to standardize cavity size and shape, each tip size being used in 30 different teeth. The gingival margins were prepared 1 mm above the cemento-enamel junction. Specimens were etched, prepared with bonding agent, restored using three different materials, and immersed in a 50% AgNO3 solution for 8 hrs and sectioned to evaluate the dye penetration. RESULTS: Statistical analysis revealed no statistically significant differences among the nine groups.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the tensile bond strength of composite resin on enamel and dentine, treated with Nd:YAG laser before and after bonding procedures. BACKGROUND DATA: The use of laser radiation in dentistry is being developed day by day. One of the possible applications of dental lasers includes increasing the quality of self-etching bonding systems. METHODS: Forty-eight human teeth were used and separated into six groups: Group 1 (enamel control), Clearfil Liner Bond 2V (CLB 2V); group 2 (enamel), Nd:YAG + CLB 2V; group 3 (enamel), CLB 2V + Nd:YAG; group 4 (dentine control), CLB 2V; group 5 (dentine), Nd:YAG + CLB 2V; group 6 (dentine), CLB 2V + Nd:YAG. Tensile bond strength was performed. RESULTS: Enamel means (15,54) were lower than dentine means (20,38). Bond strength of laser before (15,73) was lower than laser after (20,65). Interaction results G1 x G3; G2 x G3; G4 x G1; G2 x G5 were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Tensile bond strength of composites reached with self-etching adhesive systems were greater in dentine than in enamel. The best moment for application of Nd:YAG laser is after the use of adhesive system. Self-etching adhesive systems tested in this study can be used together with Nd:YAG laser without compromising to adhesion to dentine.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, the authors evaluated tensile bond strength of composite resin to dentin treated with Nd:YAG laser before and after bonding procedures. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Lasers have been widely used in dentistry and have contributed to the development of new technologies. Adhesive systems have been indicated for most dental procedures and have produced good results. Studies concerned with the combined use of this adhesive system was the subject of this study. METHODS: Thirty noncarious human anterior teeth, freshly extracted, for periodontal reasons, were used. After grinding the buccal dentinal surface until its exposition, specimens were separated into three groups and received the following treatments: (group 1) control--acid etching plus primer plus bond; (group 2) laser plus acid etching plus primer plus bond; (group 3) acid etching plus primer plus bond plus laser. Specimens of composite resin (Z100, 3M, Saint Paul, MN) were constructed on an inverted truncated 3-mm diameter cone mold. Tensile bond strength was performed using Inströn Universal machine, at 0.5 mm/min speed. RESULTS: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) (p < 0.05) determined that the type of dentinal treatments used had an influence on tensile bond strength. Tukey's test, however, showed that group 1 (15.46) and 3 (15.67) had similar results both of which were higher than group 2 (4.57). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results obtained, one can conclude that group 1 (without laser) and group 3 (laser after bonding) had similar results, both higher than those observed for group 2 (laser before bonding). These results indicate that more research is needed about how a hybrid layer is formed when laser radiation is used.

PURPOSE: To compare the in vitro tensile bond strengths of resin-based composite bonded to dentin and to a leucite-reinforced ceramic in an as-received condition (pre-silanated) or re-etched, re-silanated condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Caries-free human molars were ground to expose occlusal, superficial dentin. Dentin surfaces were etched with 37% phosphoric acid and rinsed, leaving a moist dentin surface. Leucite-reinforced ceramic inserts (SONICsys) also were tested as received (pre-etched, pre-silanated) or retreated with hydrofluoric acid and silane. Bonding agent (Syntac Single-Component) was applied in two layers and light cured. An all-purpose resin-based composite (Tetric Ceram) was used to prepare tensile bond strength specimens for the dentin and two ceramic groups. Fourteen specimens were prepared for each group. After 24 hours in distilled water, tensile bond strength (MPa) was measured using a testing machine. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate data. RESULTS: Bond strengths obtained were 10.2 MPa for composite bonded to dentin, 10.5 MPa for composite bonded to as-received ceramic inserts, and 9.6 MPa for composite bonded to retreated ceramic inserts, with no statistical difference between the three groups. Re-treatment of leucite-reinforced inserts did not increase or decrease bond strength to resin-based composite. Also, the bond strength of resin-based composite to dentin was similar to that of the ceramic to composite.

This study evaluated the influence of caries-detection dyes on the in vitro tensile bond strength of adhesive materials to sound dentin. Caries-free human molars were ground to expose superficial dentin. Two dyes (a commercial 0.5% basic fuchsin in propylene glycol and Cari-D-Tect) were applied to sound dentin and rinsed. Subsequently, the dentin was etched with phosphoric acid (35%) and rinsed, leaving a moist dentin surface. The adhesive (Prime & Bond 2.0) was applied in two layers and light cured. A composite (TPH Spectrum), a compomer (Dyract), and a hybrid ionomer (Advance) were used to prepare the bond-strength specimens with a 3-mm-in-diameter bonding area. Control groups were made without use of dyes. Six specimens were prepared for each group. After 24 hours in distilled water, tensile bond strength (MPa) was measured using a testing machine. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate the data. Without dyes, bond strengths of TPH Spectrum and Dyract with Prime and Bond 2.0 were similar and both values were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of Advance with Prime & Bond 2.0. Dyes for caries detection reduced the bond strength of TPH Spectrum and Dyract but not Advance when used with Prime and Bond 2.0.

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the effects of acid solutions on dentin surface, and to analyze the depth of demineralization that the acid solutions cause on dentin, using different acids. Fifteen 3-mm thick dentin discs were prepared from the middle third of human molars. Standard smear layer was prepared on the dentin surface using 600 grit sandpaper, for 1 minute. The acids used were 10%, 35% and 37.5% phosphoric acid and 10% maleic acid, for 15 seconds, washed and dried. The control group received no treatment. Dentin discs were fractured, observed on the horizontal surface and also on the fractured surface to evaluate the depth of demineralization. Specimens were immersed in 4% glutaraldehyde in phosphonate buffer, and prepared for SEM examination at 2000X and 4000X magnification. Acid etching of dentin, regardless of the concentration of phosphoric acid, caused removal of the smear layer, exposing the apertures of dentinal tubules. This was not observed when 10% maleic acid was used. At the fractured surface, one could observe an increase in demineralization of the width of dentinal tubules, to a specific depth of about 8.19 to 11 mm, except for 10% maleic acid.
