RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of the phosphoric acid (PA) etching, self-etching technique (SE) and blasting with Al2O3 particles (BL) on the bonding of a dental adhesive to intact (INT) or abraded (ABR) enamel. METHODS: Enamel surfaces were treated as follows: 1- ABR-PA: INT was abraded with SiC paper and etched with PA (20 s) before Clearfil Universal Bond Quick adhesive application; 2- ABR-SE: ABR was SiC and adhesive applied in SE mode; 3- INT-PA: INT was etched with PA and adhesive applied; 4- INT-SE: the adhesive (SE mode) was applied to INT; 5- INT-BL: INT was BL and the adhesive was applied (SE mode), and 6- INT-BA: INT was BL, etched with PA and adhesive applied (SE mode). The enamel surface treated was examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (n = 3) and Al2O3 particles were characterized using SEM and EDX. The enamel bond strength was measured by microtensile test (24 h and 1 year) (n = 8) and the morphology of enamel-adhesive interfaces were analyzed by SEM (n = 3). Bond strength data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Al2O3 particles had an irregular shape, their length varied (50-20 µm) and the perimeter mean was 38.8 µm. The enamel morphology significantly influenced the enamel bond strength. ABR-PA, INT-BL, and INT-BA provided greater and stable enamel-dentin interaction and bond strength. SIGNIFICANCE: The enamel morphology significantly influenced the enamel bond strength. Using the adhesive in etch-and-rinse mode, enamel must be abraded before etching and must be Al2O3-blasted when used in SE mode.
RESUMO
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate volumetric polymerization shrinkage, degree of conversion and Vickers hardness of four bulk-fill resin composites light-activated with their dedicated light curing units (LCUs). Four groups were evaluated, according to the type of composite and curing mode: Tetric EvoCeram Bulk-fill (TEBO) and Tetric EvoFlow Bulk-fill (TEBF) were light-activated with Bluephase Style 20i (20s, in high-mode), while Tetric Powerfill (TEPO) and Tetric Powerflow (TEPF) were light-activated with Bluephase PowerCure (3s). Volumetric polymerization shrinkage test (n = 6) was performed in standardized box-shaped class-I cavities of extracted third molars (4 x 4 x 4 mm). Teeth were scanned before and after resin composite application by micro-computed tomography, and acquired data were evaluated with Amira software. Degree of conversion (n = 5) was evaluated at the top and bottom surfaces of composite cylindric samples (4 mm diameter, 4 mm thickness) using an FT-IR spectrometer (spectra between 1,500 and 1,800 cm-1, 40 scans at a resolution of 4 cm-1). Three Vickers indentations (50 g / 15 s), spaced 500 μm apart, were performed on the top and bottom composite surfaces and averaged. One-way ANOVA was used for data evaluation. TEPF showed the lowest volumetric polymerization shrinkage (p < 0.05), while the other composites were not significantly different within each other (p > 0.05). All materials presented a significant decrease in degree of conversion and Vickers hardness when compared top to bottom surfaces (p < 0.05). Bottom to top surface ratios for degree of conversion ranged from 0.8 (TEBO and TEPO) to 0.9 (TEBF and TEPF), and from 0.4 (TEPO) to 0.7 (TEBF and TEPF) for hardness. In conclusion, resinous materials present a decrease in hardness and degree of conversion from top to bottom even when a higher power is used, while the flowable material TEPF showed the lowest volumetric shrinkage values compared to the other materials.
RESUMO
Abstract To evaluate the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of two resin cements to 3D printed and milled CAD/CAM resins used for provisional fixed partial dentures. Blocks (5 x 5 x 5 mm) of three 3D-printed resins (Cosmos3DTemp / Yller; Resilab3D Temp / Wilcos and SmartPrint BioTemp, / MMTech) were printed (Photon, Anycubic Technology Co.). A milled material (VitaCAD-Temp, VITA) was used as control. Half the specimens were sandblasted and the rest were untreated. Two blocks were bonded with the corresponding resin cement: PanaviaV5 (Kuraray Noritake) and RelyX Ultimate (3M Oral Care). After 24 hours, the bonded blocks were sectioned into 1 x 1 mm side sticks. Half the beams were tested for µTBS and the other half was thermocycled (5000 cycles, 30s dwell-time, 5s transfer time) before µTBS testing. A four way Generalized Linear Model (material*sandblasting*cement*aging) analysis was applied. VITA exhibited the lowest µTBS, regardless of the cement, sandblasting and thermocycling. Sandblasting significantly improved the µTBS of VIT, especially after aging, but did not improve the µTBS of 3D printed resins. Sandblasting was not beneficial for 3D printed resins, although is crucial for adhesive cementation of milled temporary resins. Airborne particle abrasion affects the integrity of 3D-printed resins, without producing a benefit on the microtensile bond strength of these materials. However, sandblasting is crucial to achieve a high bond strength on milled temporary resins.
Resumen Evaluar la resistencia adhesiva en microtracción (µTBS) de dos cementos resinosos a resinas CAD/CAM impresas y fresadas indicadas para restauraciones provisionales. Bloques (5 x 5 x 5mm) de tres resinas impresas (Cosmos3DTemp / Yller; Resilab3D Temp / Wilcos and SmartPrint BioTemp, / MMTech) y una resina fresada (VitaCAD-Temp, VITA) fueron fabricados. La mitad de los especímenes fueron arenados y el resto no recibió tratamiento mecánico. Dos bloques con condiciones de tratamiento iguales fueron cementados con cemento resinoso (PanaviaV5 / Kuraray Noritake y RelyX Ultimate / 3M Oral Care). Después de 24 horas los bloques fueron seccionados en palitos de 1 mm² de área. En la mitad de los especímenes se midió la TBS inmediatamente y el resto fue termociclado (5000 ciclos, 30s remojo, 5s transferencia) antes de la prueba de TBS. Se aplica un análisis estadístico por Modelo Linear General con 4 factores (material*arenado*cemento*termociclado). La resina VITA presentó la menor µTBS, independientemente del cemento usado, el arenado y el termociclado. Sin embargo, el arenado aumentó la µTBS de VIT, especialmente después del termociclado. Por otro lado, el arenado no resultó en un aumento significativo de la µTBS de las resinas impresas. El arenado no fue beneficiosos para las resinas impresas, aunque es un paso crucial para la cementación adhesive de las resinas fresadas. El arenado afecta la integridad de las capas de las resinas impresas, sin generar un beneficio en la TBS.

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of toothbrushing on enamel-cementing material-ceramic bonded interfaces, using different cementing materials. Materials and Methods: Thirty enamel and thirty ceramic blocks were bonded with cementing materials to produce the samples that were bonded with three types of cementing materials: 1- RelyX Ultimate resin cement (REXU), 2- RelyX Unicem 2 self-adhesive resin cement (REU2) and 3- heated Z100 restorative composite (60°C). Bonded interfaces of the samples were toothbrushed and the surfaces of the 3 cementing materials were evaluated for roughness (RG, in µm), roughness profile (RP, in µm), and volume loss (VL, in µm3) (baseline and after 20,000 and 60,000 toothbrushing cycles). Data were evaluated by Generalized Linear Analysis (two factors: "material" and "toothbrushing cycle") and Bonferroni test (α=0.05). Results: REXU and Z100 exhibited lower RG than that presented by REU2, except after 60,000 toothbrushing cycles when only Z100 differed from REU2. The increase in toothbrushing cycles increased the RG and RP for all materials. REU2 also showed higher RP than those showed by REXU and Z100 when it was analyzed regarding the enamel. The VL of Z100 was the lowest with 20,000 toothbrushing cycles, regarding the enamel and ceramic. For 60,000 cycles, REXU showed the lowest VL regarding the ceramic, and REU2 had the highest VL regarding the enamel and ceramic. Conclusion: In general, REXU and Z100 showed the best results regarding the evaluations performed and the REU2 exhibited the highest RG, RP, and VL.
Resumo Este estudo avaliou o efeito da escovação nas interfaces de união esmalte-material cimentante-cerâmica, utilizando diferentes materiais cimentantes. Materiais e Métodos: Trinta esmaltes e trinta blocos cerâmicos foram unidos com materiais de cimentação para produzir as amostras que foram unidas com três tipos de materiais de cimentação: 1- cimento resinoso RelyX Ultimate (REXU), 2- cimento resinoso autoadesivo RelyX Unicem 2 (REU2) e 3-compósito restaurador aquecido Z100 (60°C). As interfaces coladas das amostras foram escovadas e as superfícies dos 3 materiais cimentantes foram avaliadas quanto à rugosidade (RG, em µm), perfil de rugosidade (RP, em µm) e perda de volume (VL, em µm3) (baseline e após 20.000 e 60.000 ciclos de escovação). Os dados foram avaliados por Análise Linear Generalizada (dois fatores: "material" e "ciclo de escovação") e teste de Bonferroni (α=0,05). Resultados: REXU e Z100 apresentaram menor RG do que REU2, exceto após 60.000 ciclos de escovação, quando Z100 diferiu apenas de REU2. O aumento dos ciclos de escovação aumentou o RG e RP para todos os materiais. O REU2 também apresentou PR maior que o REXU e Z100, quando analisado em relação ao esmalte. O VL de Z100 foi o menor com 20.000 ciclos de escovação em relação ao esmalte e cerâmica. Para 60.000 ciclos, o REXU apresentou o menor VL em relação à cerâmica e o REU2 o maior VL em relação ao esmalte e à cerâmica. Conclusão: De maneira geral, REXU e Z100 apresentaram os melhores resultados nas avaliações realizadas e o REU2 apresentou os maiores RG, RP e VL..
RESUMO
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate surface roughness (Sa), roughness profile (Rv), and enamel wear after brushing with different whitening toothpastes and charcoal powders. Sixty (n = 10) bovine enamel blocks (6 × 6 × 3 mm) were randomly distributed into six groups according to toothpaste type: regular toothpaste (CONT), toothpaste containing 2% hydrogen peroxide (HP), toothpaste containing titanium dioxide (TiO2), toothpaste containing charcoal (COAL), toothpaste containing charcoal and TiO2 (COAL+TiO2), and activated charcoal powder (COAL_PWD). Each block was subjected to 30,000 reciprocal cycles at a 1:3 proportion slurry. After brushing, the blocks were analyzed using an optical profilometer to determine Sa, Rv, and enamel wear. In addition, representative 3D images of each group and wear profiles were obtained. Sa was analyzed using generalized linear models followed by Bonferroni correction, whereas Rv was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. After brushing, COAL and COAL+TiO2 showed higher Sa values than COAL_PWD. However, no significant difference was observed in Sa between whitening toothpaste and COAL_PWD, and CONT (p > 0.05). In addition, no differences were observed among the groups in Rv (p > 0.05). Conversely, enamel wear was higher for TiO2, COAL, COAL+TiO2, and COAL_PWD than for CONT. CONT showed the least enamel wear, whereas HP showed intermediate values. Representative 3D images and line profiles showed lower step-height and lower mean surface losses for the CONT and HP groups than for the other groups. Whitening toothpastes and COAL_PWD did not increase Sa or Rv compared with CONT, while CONT demonstrated lower enamel wear.
RESUMO
Abstract To evaluate the flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) of a commercial 3Y-TZ0P ceramic after artificial aging and either without or with two application times of non-thermal plasma treatments (NTP). In addition, changes in crystalline phase transformation and surface nano-topography after NTP application, during different aging periods, were evaluated. Ninety 3Y-TZP bars (45x4x3 mm) were made for FS and FM testing, and assigned to nine groups (n=10): no NTP/no aging (Control); no NTP/4h aging; no NTP/30h aging; 10s NTP/no aging; 10s NTP/4h aging; 10s NTP/30h aging; 60s NTP/no aging; 60s NTP/4h aging and 60s NTP/30h aging. Artificial accelerated aging was simulated using an autoclave (134º C at 2 bar) for up to 30h. FS and FM were assessed using a universal testing machine and data analyzed using a ANOVA and Tukey test (α=0.05). The volume change in zirconia monoclinic phase (MPV) was evaluated using X-ray diffraction and surface nano-topography was assessed using atomic force microscopy (baseline until 30h-aging). NTP application did not influence the FS and FM of zirconia. Compared to the Control (no NTP/no aging), the FS of zirconia samples treated for 30 hours in autoclave ("no NTP/30h aging" group) increased. Artificial aging for 30 hours significantly increased the FM of zirconia, regardless of NTP application. MPV tended to increase following the increase in aging time, which might result in the surface irregularities observed at 30h-aging. NTP did not alter the zirconia properties tested, but 30h-aging can change the zirconia FS, FM and MPV.
Resumo Avaliar a resistência à flexão (FS) e o módulo de flexão (FM) de uma cerâmica comercial 3Y-TZP após envelhecimento artificial, e com ou sem dois tempos de aplicação de plasma não térmico (NTP). Além disso, a transformação de fase cristalina e a nano-topografia de superfície após a aplicação de NTP, durante diferentes períodos de envelhecimento, foram avaliadas. Noventa barras 3Y-TZP (45x4x3 mm) foram feitas para testes de FS e FM, e distribuídas em nove grupos (n=10): sem NTP/sem envelhecimento (Controle); sem NTP/4h de envelhecimento; sem NTP/30h de envelhecimento; 10sNTP/sem envelhecimento; 10sNTP/4h; 10sNTP/30h; 60sNTP/sem envelhecimento; 60sNTP/4h e 60sNTP/30h. O envelhecimento artificial acelerado foi simulado em autoclave (134º C a 2 bar) por até 30 horas. FS e FM foram avaliados em máquina de ensaio universal e os dados analisados pela ANOVA e teste de Tukey (α = 0,05). A mudança de volume da fase monoclínica de zircônia (MPV) foi avaliada usando difração de raios-X e nano-topografia de superfície foi avaliada utilizando microscopia de força atômica (baseline até 30h). A aplicação do NTP não influenciou a FS e FM da zircônia. Comparado ao Controle ("sem NTP/sem envelhecimento"), a FS das amostras de zircônia tratadas por 30 horas em autoclave ("sem NTP/30h de envelhecimento") aumentou. O envelhecimento artificial por 30 horas aumentou significativamente a FM da zircônia, independente do tempo de aplicação do NTP. O MPV tendeu a aumentar em função do aumento do tempo de envelhecimento para todos os grupos, que pode ter resultado nas irregularidades superficiais observadas com 30 horas de envelhecimento. O NTP não afetou as propriedades da zircônia testadas, mas o envelhecimento por 30 horas pode alterar a FS, FM e MPV da zircônia.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate the kinetics of polymerization and shrinkage stress of resin cements, as well as their bond strength to dentin after 24-h or one-year water storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three conventional resin cements were evaluated: RelyX Ultimate (RUL), Panavia V5 (PNV), and Multilink N (MLN); and three self-adhesive resin cements: RelyX Unicem 2 (RUN), Panavia SA Cement Plus (PSA), and G-CEM LinkAce (GCL). Degree of conversion (DC), maximum polymerization rate (RPmax) and gel time values were obtained using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR/ATR). Shrinkage stress values were determined with a tensiometer, using a universal testing machine (n=5). Indirect resin composite restorations (Solidex) were fabricated and cemented to the dentin surface using self-adhesive resin cements, or conventional resin cements with self-etching adhesive (n=5). Bonding performance was evaluated with the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) test after 24 h or one year of water storage. RESULTS: MLN exhibited a higher DC (76.7%), whereas the percentage of other materials differed slightly (ranging from 54% to 58.5%). The RPmax and shrinkage stress values differed significantly between the cements. PSA showed the longest gel time. Significantly higher µTBS were observed for conventional resin cements after 24-h and one-year storage; a decrease in µTBS was observed for MLN only. CONCLUSION: Self-adhesive resin cements may not perform as well as conventional resin cements. Although both categories of cements presented similar polymerization kinetics and shrinkage values, the self-adhesive resin cements showed lower µTBS compared to those of conventional resin cements. Nevertheless, storage time only affected the bonding performance of MLN.

OBJECTIVES: This study characterized a violet LED light (V-LED; bright max whitening) tooth whitening device and evaluated its efficacy on stained enamel compared to hydrogen peroxide (HP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Characterization of the V-LED beam profile was performed using a laser beam-profiler. The irradiance was measured throughout an exposure cycle at 0- and 8-mm distances using an integrating sphere and a spectral radiometer. Bovine enamel/dentin blocks stained with black tea (BT), cigarette smoke (CS), or without staining (CONT) were subjected to V-LED or 40% HP (n = 10/group). Color parameters (ΔL, Δa, Δb, and ΔE00) were measured using a digital spectrophotometer. Light transmission was estimated through 1-mm-thick bovine enamel slices (n = 5). ΔL, Δb, ΔE00, and irradiance were analyzed by two-way ANOVAs and Tukey's tests, Δa by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests, and light transmission by t-test (α = 5%). RESULTS: Heterogeneous beam distribution was observed for the emitting V-LED chips. After 20 sequential exposures, irradiance levels were reduced 25-50%, regardless of the distance from V-LED. Localized irradiance values were statistically different between beam locations and different distances from the target. V-LED produced lower ΔE00, ΔL, Δa, and Δb values than HP for CONT and BT, with no differences for CS. Light transmittance decreased approximately 98% through 1-mm thick enamel. CONCLUSIONS: V-LED irradiance was heterogeneous and decreased throughout the exposure cycles and was also greatly reduced with increasing tip distance. V-LED produced a significantly lower whitening effect on BT and control teeth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study contributes to the knowledge of V-LED and its clinical use.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the operative time and presence of air voids on Class II restorations fabricated by dental practitioners with 1 to 5 years of experience using incremental and bulk-filling techniques. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Four techniques were evaluated: incremental, bulk-filling, bulk-filling with heated composite, and snowplow technique. Standardized mandibular first molars with a MOD (mesial, occlusal, and distal) cavity were used. Voluntary operators made two restorations using each technique and the time required for each restoration was recorded. The restorations were scanned by micro-computed tomography to calculate the volume of the restoration occupied by air voids. The "operative time" and "volume of air voids" were analyzed individually by two-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc (α = .05) for the factors operator and insertion technique. A correlation between "operative time" and "volume of air voids" was evaluated using Pearson coefficient (α = .05). RESULTS: The incremental technique required significantly longer time, yet no differences were observed between the bulk-filling techniques. There were no significant differences between techniques regarding the volume of air voids. A significant, but weak, and inverse linear correlation (P = .0059; r = -.29; r2 = 8.41%) was found between the operative time and volume of air voids. CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the volume of air voids among the evaluated techniques, although bulk-filling techniques required a shorter operative time. Hence, implementing bulk-filling techniques by dental schools and restorative dental practitioners with different levels of expertise may reduce chair time and produce a volume of air voids similar to the incremental technique.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate how the association of solvents (tetrahydrofuran [THF], dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO], ethanol [ET] or acetone [ACT]) with experimental dental adhesives affects selected properties of experimental dental adhesives and dentin bond durability. Six adhesive combinations were prepared containing: 30 % ET, 30 % ACT, 30 % THF, 28 % ET + 2 % DMSO (ET+DMSO), 15 % ethanol + 15 % THF (ET+THF), or 28 % THF + 2 % DMSO (THF+DMSO). Thirty-six molars (n = 6) were cut to expose the coronary dentin, and were randomly divided according to the adhesives. They were restored, and then cut into resindentin sticks (1 mm²), and stored in distilled water for 24 h or 6 months, until conducting the microtensile bond strength and nanoleakage tests. Other experiments performed with adhesives included viscosity assessment using a rheometer, and degree of conversion using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The data were analyzed statistically using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). The adhesive formulated exclusively with THF showed the highest viscosity, followed by ET+THF, which obtained the highest degree of conversion compared to ET, and THF alone. ET+DMSO obtained the highest 24-h and aged bond strengths (p < 0.05). ET+THF increased the nanoleakage slightly after 6 months, but attained the only gap-free adhesive interface among all the groups. The combination of alternative solvents, particularly THF, with conventional ones (ET) has improved chemical properties, and the dentin bonding of experimental simplified adhesives.
RESUMO
Abstract This in vitro study evaluated the effect of the beam homogeneity of a multiple-peak light-curing unit on the surface microhardness and the effect of toothbrushing wear on the microhardness, surface roughness, roughness profile, volume loss, and gloss retention of incremental and bulk-fill resin-based composites (RBCs). A LED light-curing unit (VALO) with four LEDs at the tip end (405, 445, 465A, and 465B nm emission peak) was used according to each manufacturer-recommended time to obtain disks (n=10) of six RBCs: Estelite Sigma Quick, Charisma Classic, Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Filtek Z250, Filtek Supreme Ultra, and Filtek Bulk Fill. Microhardness values were obtained according to each LED positioning of the light-curing unit on the top surface of the RBCs and were analyzed before and after toothbrushing regarding microhardness, surface roughness, roughness profile, volume loss, and gloss retention. Microhardness was considered homogeneous on the top surface regardless of the type of RBC or wavelength tested (p>0.05). Overall, toothbrushing did not reduce the microhardness of the RBCs but influenced the gloss values for most RBCs (p<0.001). Charisma Classic presented the greatest surface roughness and roughness profile after toothbrushing (p<0.05). Volume loss did not differ among RBCs (p>0.05). In conclusion, different wavelengths of the LED did not affect the top surface microhardness, regardless of the RBCs tested; and bulk-fill composites presented similar surface changes (microhardness, surface roughness, roughness profile, volume loss, and gloss retention) when compared to conventional composites after toothbrushing.
Resumo Este estudo in vitro avaliou a homogeneidade do feixe de um fotopolimerizador de múltiplos picos na microdureza superficial e o efeito da escovação na microdureza, rugosidade superficial, perfil de rugosidade, perda de volume e retenção do brilho de compósitos a base de resina (RBCs) incrementais ou bulk-fill. Um fotopolimerizador LED (VALO) com quatro LEDs na ponteira (405, 445, 465A e 465B nm de pico de emissão) foi usado de acordo com o tempo recomendado por cada fabricante para obtenção de discos (n=10) de seis RBCs: Estelite Sigma Quick, Charisma Classic, Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Filtek Z250, Filtek Supreme Ultra e Filtek Bulk Fill. Os valores de microdureza foram obtidos seguindo o posicionamento de cada LED na superfície superior das amostras e foram analisados antes e após a escovação quanto a microdureza, rugosidade superficial, perfil de rugosidade, perda de volume e retenção do brilho. A microdureza foi considerada homogênea no topo da superfície, independentemente do tipo de RBCs ou comprimento de onda testados (p>0.05). No geral, a escovação não reduziu a microdureza das RBCs, mas influenciou o brilho para a maioria das RBCs (p<0.001). Charisma Classic apresentou os maiores valores de rugosidade superficial e perfil de rugosidade após a escovação (p<0.05). A perda de volume não diferiu entre as RBCs (p>0.05). Em conclusão, os diferentes comprimentos de onda do LED não alteraram a microdureza do topo da superfície, independentemente das RBCs testadas; e as resinas bulk-fill apresentaram alterações superficiais similares (microdureza, rugosidade superficial, perfil de rugosidade, perda de volume e manutenção do brilho) quando comparadas às resinas convencionais após a escovação.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to describe the synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of b-NaYF4:30%Yb/0.5%Tm upconverting nanocrystals for use as nanofillers in a dental adhesive and microscopically evaluate the interface between the particles and a commercial adhesive. The upconverting nanoparticles were synthesized and purified by thermal decomposition, and their chemical composition determined by energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy. The crystalline structure was characterized using X-Ray diffraction and morphology and size were observed with scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Upconverting emission was evaluated by spectrophotometry irradiating the particles with a 975 nm diode laser. Particles were functionalized with polyacrylic acid and the success was confirmed by measurement of Zeta Potential and transmission electron microscopy. The results of X-ray diffraction found a pure hexagonal phase crystalline pattern. Scanning electron microscopy showed uniform dispersion of hexagonal-shaped particles of approximately 150 nm. Upconversion emission was observed in 344 nm, 361 nm, 450 nm, 474nm, 646 nm, 803 nm. Functionalization success was confirmed by formation of a stable aqueous colloid with a Zeta potential of −29.5mV and the absence of voids in the particle-adhesive interface on the transmission electron microscopy images. The reported synthesis and functionalization process produced upconverting nanoparticles emitting photons within the blue spectral region (450 nm and 474 nm).
RESUMO
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the microshear bond strength of Universal adhesives to enamel and dentin after one week and eighteen months of water storage. Material and Methods: Fragments from the buccal surfaces of 80 bovine teeth were prepared (12x5x1.0 mm) and ground to obtain flat surfaces of enamel and dentin. Samples were randomly assigned to 8 experimental groups (n=10), according to four adhesive systems (Adper Single Bond Plus/control not a Universal adhesive/ASB; Ambar Universal/AUN; Prime&Bond Active/PBA and Scotchbond Universal/SBU) and two water-storage times (one week and eighteen months after sample preparations). Adhesives were applied according to the manufacturers' instructions and molds were positioned over bonded surfaces. A flowable composite was poured into the molds to fill up their internal diameter and obtain resin cylinder (1.0mm height/0.7mm internal diameter) after light-curing. Bond strength was determined using a testing machine (0.5 mm/min) and data were statistically analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the post-hoc Tukey's test (alpha=0.05). Failure patterns were analyzed for all resin cylinder tested. Results: For enamel, differences among adhesives were observed only at 18 months, in which SBU produced lower bond strength values (15.9±3.0 MPa) than the others universal adhesives (AUN: 19.3±4.8 and PBA: 21.4±2.1 MPa) (p<0.05). For dentin, there were differences among adhesives only at 7 days, with PBA showing the highest bond strength (37.4±4.9 MPa) and ASB the lowest one (19.4±3.9 MPa) (p<0.05). Enamel and dentin bond strength of all adhesives decreased significantly after 18 months and reduction percentage varied from 36.9 to 52.4 for enamel and from 35.1 to 62.8 for dentin. Adhesive and mixed failures showed high incidences. Conclusion: Results suggested that adhesives presented differences among them depending on type of hard dental tissue and evaluation time. Enamel and dentin bond strengths of control and all universal adhesives tested were not stable, decreasing at eighteen months. (AU)
Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resistência de união ao microcisalhamento de adesivos universais ao esmalte e dentina após uma semana e dezoito meses de armazenamento em água. Material e Métodos: Fragmentos da superfície vestibular de 80 dentes bovinos foram preparados (12x5x1,0 mm) até o obtenção de superfícies planas de esmalte e dentina. As amostras foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em 8 grupos experimentais (n=10), de acordo com quatro sistemas adesivos (Adper Single Bond Plus / controle - não universal; Ambar Universal; Prime & Bond Active e Scotchbond Universal) e dois tempos de armazenamento em água (uma semana e dezoito meses após o preparo das amostras). Os adesivos foram aplicados de acordo com as instruções dos fabricantes e as matrizes foram posicionadas sobre as superfícies aderidas. Um compósito fluido foi aplicado nas matrizes para preencher seu diâmetro interno e obter o cilindro do compósito por fotopolimeração (1,0 mm de altura / 0,7 mm de diâmetro interno). A resistência de união foi determinada em uma máquina universal de ensaios (0,5mm/min). Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pela análise de variância dois fatores (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey (alfa 0,05). Resultados: Para o esmalte, foram obtidas diferenças apenas aos 18 meses, em que Scotchbond Universal produziu menor média de resistência de união do que os demais adesivos universais. Para dentina, houve diferenças entre os adesivos apenas aos 7 dias, com o Prime & Bond Active apresentando a maior resistência de união e o Adper Single Bond Plus a menor. Os resultados sugeriram que os adesivos apresentaram diferenças entre si dependendo do substrato e do tempo de avaliação. Conclusão: As resistências de união em esmalte e dentina do controle e de todos os adesivos universais testados não foram estáveis, diminuindo aos dezoito meses (AU)

ABSTRACT Tooth bleaching is one of the most conservative aesthetic techniques. At-home and in-office bleaching may be performed, as well as the combination of both techniques. As this combination may be done in different manners, distinct orders of combinations were proposed in this report. A 24 years-old man, whose upper central incisor and canine shades were A2 and A3 respectively, was initially treated by chair-side with 40-min application of 40% hydrogen peroxide (HP) for two sessions. Afterwards, an two-week overnight at-home bleaching was performed with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP). The shade of upper central incisors changed to 1M1 and canine was B1. Conversely, a 30 years-old woman was firstly conducted with at-home bleaching (overnight 4-weeks 10% CP) and, subsequently, with a single appointment of in-office bleaching for 45 minutes (35% HP). The shade of her upper central incisor changed from A1 to 0.5M1 and the upper canine from A3 to B1. The VITA classical (A1-D4) shade guide and VITA Bleached guide 3D-MASTER were used to determine the tooth color during the treatments. In both bleaching treatments, patients reported no significant tooth sensitivity and the final outcomes met their expectation.
RESUMO O clareamento dental é uma das técnicas estéticas mais conservadoras no âmbito odontológico. Técnicas de clareamento caseira ou de consultório, ou a combinação de ambas, podem ser realizadas para alcançar o prognóstico desejado. Esta combinação das técnicas pode ser realizada por meio de diferentes abordagens, como apresentado neste relato de casos. Um paciente do gênero masculino, 24 anos de idade, cujos incisivo central superior e caninos apresentaram cor A2 e A3, respectivamente, foi inicialmente submetido à técnica de clareamento de consultório de duração por sessão de 40 mim com gel de peróxido de hidrogênio (PH) 40%, em duas sessões. Posteriormente, a técnica de clareamento caseira foi realizada durante duas semanas com gel de peróxido de carbamida (PC) a uma concentração de 10%.A cor final dos incisivos centrais superiores foi alterada para 1M1, enquanto a dos caninos para B1. Por outro lado, uma paciente do gênero feminino, 30 anos de idade, foi inicialmente submetida ao clareamento caseiro (durante a noite, por 4 semanas- PC 10%), e subsequentemente, com aplicação pontual de agente clareador (PH 35%) em consultório, em sessão de 45 min. A cor do incisivo central superior da paciente, mudou de A1 para 0,5M1 e do canino superior de A3 para B1. As escalas de cor VITA Classic (A1-D4), e VITA Bleachedguided 3D-MASTER foram utilizadas nesta série de casos para determinar a coloração dos dentes durante os tratamentos. Em ambos os tratamentos, os pacientes não reportaram sensibilidade dental significante, e suas expectativas finais foram atendidas.
RESUMO
AIM: This in vitro study assessed the effects of in-office bleaching with gels (35% hydrogen peroxide [HP] or 37% cabamide peroxide [CP]) and two activation sources (violet radiation [LED] or nonthermal atmospheric plasma [NTAP]) on the mineral content of bovine enamel. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Dental blocks (nâ¯=â¯90) were assessed for initial microhardness before random distribution into nine groups: LED, LEDâ¯+â¯HP, LEDâ¯+â¯CP, NTAP, NTAPâ¯+â¯HP, NTAPâ¯+â¯CP, HP, CP and control (without treatment). Specimens were subjected to bleaching (2 clinical sessions, 7 days apart) using LED [20x/session, 1-min/each, 30â¯s apart] or NTAP [1x/session, 10â¯min]. µRaman determined contents of phosphate (PO43) and carbonate (CO32). Micro-energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (µEDXRF) and spectrophotometry of enamel microbiopsy evaluated the calcium to phosphorous ratios (Ca/P). Two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests analyzed µRAMAN and µEDXRF results. Spectrophotometry results were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests. Pearson correlation tested µEDXRF and spectrophotometry results (αâ¯=â¯5%). RESULTS: NTAP and NTAPâ¯+â¯HP exhibited greater PO43- content than LED, LEDâ¯+â¯HP and control (pâ¯<â¯0.05). No statistical differences were detected between CO32- among groups. While µEDXRF evaluation demonstrated that NTAP and LED did not alter Ca/P ratio of enamel (pâ¯>â¯0.05), spectrophotometry showed that Ca/P reduced for LEDâ¯+â¯HP (pâ¯<â¯0.05). No correlation was found between µEDXRF and enamel microbiopsy spectrophotometry (pâ¯>â¯0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Activation sources did not adversely impact enamel's phosphate and carbonate concentrations after specimens' exposure to bleaching gels (either HP or CP). Visible light radiation emitted by a LED source was shown to adversely impact specimens' Ca/P ratios when treated with HP-containing bleaching gels.

Objective This study evaluated the clinical effect of violet LED light on in-office bleaching used alone or combined with 37% carbamide peroxide (CP) or 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP). Methodology A total of 100 patients were divided into five groups (n=20): LED, LED/CP, CP, LED/HP and HP. Colorimetric evaluation was performed using a spectrophotometer (ΔE, ΔL, Δa, Δb) and a visual shade guide (ΔSGU). Calcium (Ca)/phosphorous (P) ratio was quantified in the enamel microbiopsies. Measurements were performed at baseline (T 0 ), after bleaching (T B ) and in the 14-day follow-up (T 14 ). At each bleaching session, a visual scale determined the absolute risk (AR) and intensity of tooth sensitivity (TS). Data were evaluated by one-way (ΔE, Δa, ΔL, Δb), two-way repeated measures ANOVA (Ca/P ratio), and Tukey post-hoc tests. ΔSGU and TS were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney, and AR by Chi-Squared tests (a=5%). Results LED produced the lowest ΔE (p<0.05), but LED/HP promoted greater ΔE, ΔSGU and Δb (T 14 ) than HP (p<0.05). No differences were observed in ΔE and ΔSGU for LED/CP and HP groups (p>0.05). ΔL and Δa were not influenced by LED activation. After bleaching, LED/CP exhibited greater Δb than CP (p>0.05), but no differences were found between these groups at T 14 (p>0.05). LED treatment promoted the lowest risk of TS (16%), while HP promoted the highest (94.4%) (p<0.05). No statistical differences of risk of TS were found for CP (44%), LED/CP (61%) and LED/HP (88%) groups (p>0.05). No differences were found in enamel Ca/P ratio among treatments, regardless of evaluation times. Conclusions Violet LED alone produced the lowest bleaching effect, but enhanced HP bleaching results. Patients treated with LED/CP reached the same efficacy of HP, with reduced risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity and none of the bleaching protocols adversely affected enamel mineral content.

Aim: Evaluate the effect of adhesives systems combined with desensitizer agents on the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of a composite resin to dentin. Methods: Cervical dentin of thirty-two human molars were used to simulate hypersensitivity areas. The teeth were divided into four groups (n=8), according to the type of adhesive system and desensitizer agents. No desensitizer was used in the control (Clearfil SE Bond CS). Two experimental groups were pretreated with either MS Coat Bond (MS) or Biofluorid 12 (BF) immediately prior to bonding with CS. The last group corresponded to Gluma Comfort Bond + Desensitizer (GC) application. After dentin treatments, a composite block was built-up on dentin surface and after 24 hours teeth were serially sectioned to obtain bonded bean specimens. Beams were stored in water for 24 hours or one year. Subsequently, the specimens were submitted to the µTBS test. Data were analyzed by two-way mixed ANOVA and Bonferroni's test (α = 0.05). Results: At 24 hours, there was no significant difference in µTBS among groups. However, at one year, dentin treated with MS or BF demonstrated significantly lower µTBS of CS to dentin compared to control and GC, which kept their µTBS stable. Conclusion: The effect of MS and BF desensitizer agents on the µTBS of CS to dentin did not reduce the µTBS at 24 hours, but it decreases significantly after one year

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do plasma atmosférico não-térmico (PANT), sozinho ou associado ao jateamento ou adesivo, e do tempo de armazenamento em água na resistência de união por cisalhamento (RUC) do reparo de cerâmicas CAD/CAM de matriz resinosa (CMR) com resina composta. Amostras de 14x7x1mm de três CMRs, Enamic (VITA Zahnfabrik), Cerasmart (GC Corp.) e Lava Ultimate (3M Oral Care), foram obtidas e submetidas ao envelhecimento artificial (EQ-UV, Equilam) por 300 horas. Os seguintes tratamentos de superfície foram realizados: (1- Controle) jateamento + silano + adesivo; (2) PANT; (3) PANT + adesivo; (4) jateamento + PANT. Cilindros de resina composta (Spectra Smart, Dentsply Sirona, 1,5 mm diâmetro e altura) foram aderidos às superfícies tratadas e a RUC foi avaliada em uma máquina de ensaio universal (EZ Test, Shimadzu) após 24 horas ou 1 ano de imersão em água, a 37oC (n=10). No geral, o tratamento controle obteve os melhores resultados de RUC, comparado aos grupos tratados com PANT. Houve redução da RUC após 1 ano de imersão em água para a maioria dos grupos, entre eles para o controle do Enamic e Lava Ultimate, enquanto Cerasmart não mostrou redução. O tratamento com PANT, sozinho ou associado a outro tratamento, não foi capaz de aumentar a RUC do reparo das CMRs com resina composta. O tratamento controle parece ser o melhor método de reparo das CMRs, principalmente considerando-se a longevidade do tratamento.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP), alone or combined with sandblasting or adhesive, and water-storage time on the shear bond strength (SBS) of resin composite repair of resin matrix ceramics (RMC). Samples (14x7x1mm) of three RMCs, Enamic (VITA Zahnfabrik), Cerasmart (GC Corp.), and Lava Ultimate (3M Oral Care), were prepared and submitted to artificial aging (EQ-UV, Equilam) for 300 h. The following surface treatments were performed: (1- Control) sandblasting + silane + adhesive; (2) NTAP; (3) NTAP + adhesive; (4) sandblasting + NTAP. Resin composite cylinders (Spectra Smart, Dentsply Sirona, 1,5 mm diameter and height) were bonded to the treated surfaces and the SBS was evaluated in a universal testing machine (EZ Test, Shimadzu) after 24 h or 1 year of water storage, at 37oC (n=10). In general, the control treatment obtained the best SBS results, compared to groups treated with NTAP. There was a decrease in SBS after 1 year of water immersion for most groups, including the control treatment for Enamic and Lava Ultimate, while Cerasmart presented no reduction. The treatment with NTAP alone or combined with another treatment, was not capable of increasing the SBS of resin composite repair to RMCs. Control treatment seems to be the best method for repairing CMRs, mainly considering the treatment longevity.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of experimental conditioners (10-3 solution - 10-3, 6.8% ferric oxalate - FOX, and 1.4% nitric acid - NI) on dentin elastic modulus, flexural strength, bond strength, failure mode, and adhesive interface morphology of two etch-and-rinse adhesives (XP Bond, Dentsply or One-Step, Bisco) applied on etched dry dentin. METHODS: Sound human third molars were used for the microtensile bond strength test (nâ¯=â¯8), performed at 24â¯h and after one year of water storage. Failure modes were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Dentin bonding interface was analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (nâ¯=â¯3). Adhesive systems were applied on phosphoric acid-etched, wet (positive control) and dry (negative control) dentin, and on etched and dry dentin previously treated with 10-3 (15s), FOX (60s), or NI (15s). Bovine dentin bars (nâ¯=â¯15) were immersed into the conditioning solutions and subjected to a three-point bending test. RESULTS: XP Bond +â¯10-3 or NI resulted in lower bond strength than phosphoric acid. One-Step +â¯10-3 or NI resulted in bond strengths equivalent to the positive control. Experimental conditioners presented no bond strength reduction after one year, regardless of the bonding agent tested. One-Step resulted in more adhesive failures than XP Bond at 24â¯h, and mixed failures increased after storage. All experimental conditioners promoted hybridization and resin tags formation, except FOX. Dentin elastic modulus was not affected by the conditioners, whereas flexural strength was significantly reduced by FOX. CONCLUSIONS: Adequate and stable dentin bonds were achieved when the bonding agents were applied on 10-3 or NI-treated dentin. None of the experimental conditioners reduced dentin elastic modulus, but dentin flexural strength was significantly reduced by FOX-conditioning.
