ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different die materials used in the indirect resin composite restorative technique on the fracture resistance and failure mode of restored molars and compare it with the direct resin composite restorative technique. Two flexible die silicone materials for dental models (Die Silicone - Voco and Scan die - Yller) and a type IV dental stone material (Fujirock EP - GC) were evaluated. Sixty third molars were selected and divided into four groups: indirect resin composite restoration - Die silicone (IRCR-DS); indirect resin composite restoration - Scan die (IRCR-SD); indirect resin composite restoration - Fujirock EP (IRCR-FR), and direct resin composite restoration (DRCR). Class II MOD cavities were prepared with 5 mm of buccolingual width and depth. The specimens were restored and subjected to an axial compression load until fracture, and the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test (α=.05). The fracture mode was classified into restorable and unrestorable fractures. Fracture resistance values were influenced by the die material used for the IRCR fabrication and by the restorative technique (p<.001). Fracture resistance mean values and standard deviation were: IRCR-DS: 1835.5 ± 324.0 A; IRCR-SD: 1732.5 ± 384.1 AB; IRCR-FR: 1419.3 ± 318.8 BC; and DRCR: 1100.6 ± 224.9 C. Restorable fracture was more prevalent. IRCR with flexible die casts promoted higher fracture resistance and lower prevalence of unrestorable fractures.
ABSTRACT
Abstract This study evaluated the optical method for measuring free total shrinkage using a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera. Eight composites were evaluated, conventional, bulk fill and low-shrinkage: Z100 (3M Oral Care), Gradia Direct Anterior (GC corporation), Spectra Smart (Dentsply), Filtek Z350 XT (3M Oral Care), Aura Bulk Fill (SDI), Vittra APS (FGM), Opus Bulk Fill APS (FGM), and Beautifil II LS (Shofu Inc.). The samples (6 mm diameter and 1.5 mm thick, n = 10) were placed on a polyvinylsiloxane impression material. An image of the uncured sample was captured using a DSLR camera with 105 mm macro lens and a ring flash. Samples were light cured with a 700 mW/cm2 LED light-cure unit for 40s. Post-polymerization images were captured at 2, 10 and 60 min. Projected circumferential areas of the specimens were drawn using the ImageJ software. Volumetric total shrinkage was calculated from the ratio of the areas obtained from pre- and post-curing. Results were analyzed using One-way ANOVA (α = 0.05) and Tukey test. Volumetric total shrinkage values were significantly different among the composite materials (p < .001). The volumetric shrinkage (%) mean and results of Tukey test at 60 min were: Z100: 3.45±0.30 (A); Gradia Direct Anterior: 3.00 ± 0.23 (B); Spectra Smart 2.89 ± 0.35 (B); Filtek Z350 XT: 2.65 ± 0.37 (BC); Aura Bulk Fill: 2.42 ± 0.25 (CD); Vittra APS: 2.14 ± 0.35 (DE); Opus Bulk Fill APS: 1.91 ± 0.24 (E); Beautifil II LS: 1.18 ± 0.16 (F). The optical method using a DSLR camera, was suitable for total shrinkage evaluation and will allow assessment of total shrinkage without the need for specialized equipment.
ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim was to evaluate the microtensile bond strength (mTBS) to dentin and interfacial stress in a class II cavity restored with bulk-fill or conventional composite resins and the margin interfaces. Vertical slot class II cavities in the mesial face, with the gingival end in dentin, were prepared in 72 third molars, being divided into groups (n=24): G1-Tetric N-Ceram; G2-Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill; G3-SonicFill. Clearfil SE Bond adhesive system was used in all groups. Half of the teeth in each group (n=12) were submitted to thermo-mechanical cycling (TMC). Restored teeth (n=9) were cut perpendicular to obtain beams, which were submitted to a mTBS test in an EMIC machine. The cervical margins in dentin of the restored teeth (n=3) were assessed using SEM through epoxy resin replicas as well as the section of the restoration. Interfacial stresses after load application were calculated by 2D finite element analysis. The mTBS means-MPa followed by different letters represent statistical difference by ANOVA and Games-Howell's test (p<0.05): Without TMC: G1-15.68±6.10a; G2-10.08±5.21ab; G3-7.98±3.76b. With TMC: G1-9.70±5.52a; G2-5.79±1.42a; G3-4.37±1.87a. Interfacial stress (MPa) was 4.4 for SonicFill, 3.9 for Tetric N-Ceram, and 3.5 for Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill. SEM images showed continuous margins for all composite resin restorations. It was possible to conclude that SonicFill obtained a slightly higher interfacial stress and lower bond strength to dentin in comparison with Tetric N-Ceram and Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill. Continuous margin interfaces were obtained for Tetric N-Ceram, Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill, and SonicFill. However, voids were observed in the SonicFill restorations.
Resumo O objetivo foi avaliar a resistência de união à microtração (RUμT) à dentina e o estresse interfacial em cavidades classe II restauradas com resina composta de incremento único ou convencional e as interfaces marginais. Cavidades classe II na face mesial, com margem gengival em dentina, foram confeccionadas em 72 terceiros molares, sendo divididos em grupos (n=24): Grupo 1-Tetric N-Ceram; Grupo 2- Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill; Grupo 3- SonicFill. O Sistema adesivo Clearfil SE Bond foi usado em todos os grupos. Metade dos dentes de cada grupo (n=12) foram submetidos à ciclagem termo-mecânica (CTM). Os dentes restaurados (n=9) foram cortados perpendicularmente para obter palitos que foram submetidos ao teste de RµT na máquina-EMIC. As margens cervicais em dentina dos dentes restaurados (n=3) foram observados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) por meio de réplicas em resina epoxy, assim como os cortes das restaurações. O estresse interfacial após a aplicação da carga foram calculadas por análise de elementos finitos 2D. As médias de RUμT-MPa seguidas de letras distintas apresentam diferença estatística de acordo com ANOVA e teste de Games-Howell (p<0,05): Antes da CTM: G1-15.68±6.10a; G2-10.08±5.21ab; G3-7.98±3.76b. Após CTM: G1-9.70±5.52a; G2-5.79±1.42a; G3-4.37±1.87a. O estresse interfacial (MPa) foi 4,4 para SonicFill, 3,9 para Tetric N-Ceram e 3,5 para Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill. Imagens em MEV mostraram margens contínuas para todas as restaurações em resina composta. Foi possível concluir que o SonicFill obteve um estresse interfacial ligeiramente mais alto e menor resistência de união à dentina em comparação com o Tetric N-Ceram e o Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill. Interfaces de margem contínua foram obtidas para Tetric N-Ceram, Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill e SonicFill. Entretanto, espaços vazios foram observados nas restaurações do SonicFill.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of porosity of self-adhesive resin on the stress distribution, post retention and failure mode of fiber post cemented to human root dentin. Ten human central upper incisors with circular root canal were selected. They were sectioned with 15 mm and were endodontically filled. The roots were scanned using micro-CT after post space preparation for root filling remaining evaluation. Fiber posts were cemented using self-adhesive resin cement (Rely X U200, 3M-ESPE). Two 1-mm-thick slices from the cervical, medium and apical thirds were scanned for resin cement bubbles volume measurements and submitted to a push-out test (PBS). Three operators using stereomicroscopy and confocal laser microscopy classified the failure mode. Stress distributions during the push-out test were analyzed using 3D finite element analysis. PBS values (MPa) were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests and the failure modes using the Kappa coefficient to assess inter-operator agreement. Chi-square test was used to determine significant differences between the methods ( = 0.05). Push-out bond strength was significantly affected by the bubbles presence in all root depth (p<0.05). The stress concentration was higher when the bubbles were present. Adhesive dentin/resin cement interface failure was the most frequent type of failure. Confocal microscopy was better than stereomicroscopy for failure analysis. Bubbles generated during resin cement insertion into the root canal negatively affect the stress distribution and the bond strength. The use of confocal microscopy is recommended for failure analysis.
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da integridade do cimento resinoso autoadesivo, expresso pela presença de bolhas, sobre a distribuição de tensão, resistência adesiva e modo de falha de pinos de fibra cimentados à dentina radicular humana. Dez incisivos centrais superiores humanos com canais radiculares circulares foram selecionados. Os mesmos foram seccionados com 15 mm e tratados endodonticamente. As raízes foram digitalizadas utilizando micro-CT após preparo do pino para avaliação de remanescentes de material obturador. Pinos de fibra foram cimentados utilizando cimento autoadesivo (Rely X U200, 3M-ESPE). Duas fatias de 1 mm de espessura dos terços cervical, médio e apical foram escaneados para mensuração do volume de bolhas no cimento resinoso e submetidos ao teste de push-out. Três operadores classificaram o modo de falha utilizando microscopia confocal à laser e lupa estereoscópica. Distribuição de tensão foi analisada pelo método de elementos finitos 3D. Os valores de resistência adesiva (MPa) foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA em fator único seguido do teste de Tukey. Foi utilizado o coeficiente de Kappa para avaliar a concordância entre operadores. O teste Qui-quadrado foi utilizado para determinar diferenças significativas entre os métodos (α=0,05). A resistência adesiva foi significativamente afetada pela presença de bolhas independentemente da profundidade radicular (p<0,05). A concentração de tensão foi maior na presença de bolhas. Maior frequência de falha adesiva ocorreu na interface cimento/dentina. A microscopia confocal foi melhor do que estereomicroscopia para análise de falhas. A presença de bolhas afetou negativamente a distribuição de tensão e a resistência de união. Recomenda-se uso de microscopia confocal para análise de falhas.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of deformation from compression caused by different diameters of Morse taper implants and the residual deformation after load removal. Thirty Morse taper implants lacking external threads were divided into 3 groups (n = 10) according to their diameter as follows: 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm and 5.0 mm. Two-piece abutments were fixed into the implants, and the samples were subjected to compressive axial loading up to 1500 N of force. During the test, one strain gauge remained fixed to the cervical portion of each implant to measure the strain variation. The strain values were recorded at two different time points: at the maximum load (1500 N) and 60 seconds after load removal. To calculate the strain at the implant/abutment interface, a mathematical formula was applied. Data were analyzed using a one-way Anova and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). The 5.0 mm diameter implant showed a significantly lower strain (650.5 μS ± 170.0) than the 4.0 mm group (1170.2 μS ± 374.7) and the 3.5 mm group (1388.1 μS ± 326.6) (p < 0.001), regardless of the load presence. The strain values decreased by approximately 50% after removal of the load, regardless of the implant diameter. The 5.0 mm implant showed a significantly lower strain at the implant/abutment interface (943.4 μS ± 504.5) than the 4.0 mm group (1057.4 μS ± 681.3) and the 3.5 mm group (1159.6 μS ± 425.9) (p < 0.001). According to the results of this study, the diameter influenced the strain around the internal and external walls of the cervical region of Morse taper implants; all diameters demonstrated clinically acceptable values of strain.

ABSTRACT
The direct restorative treatment for anterior teeth, when properly indicated, presents satisfactory results. This article describes a clinical approach to rehabilitate the smile of a patient with stained teeth using tooth bleaching and composite resin restorations. Female patient, aged 22, attended the Integrated Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry (Universidade Federal de Uberlência), complaining of a dimming of the tooth 11. After clinical examination, the treatment proposed for her was a resin composite veneer. Initially, the patient was submitted to dental bleaching and after 15 days began with the restorative treatment. The shade of the tooth was selected after bleaching treatment using the Vita Classical guide, and was defined as being A2. The preparation was performed on the vestibular surface delimited to the cervical marginal groove with a diamond nº 1014, 0.3 to 0.7 mm. Three guide-grooves were made in buccal surface, with a diamond burs nº 2135, taking into account the three inclinations of the tooth, 0.3 - 1 mm depth. Finally, it was made the unification of the grooves with the same diamond burs. Isolation was performed with the aid of a rubber dam, followed by prophylaxis with pumice and rubber cup, acid etching with phosphoric acid 37% for 30 seconds and the application of the hydrophilic adhesive (Adper Single Bond 2, 3M ESPE). The microhybrid resin (Opallis, FGM produtos odontológicos) was inserted by the incremental technique and subsequently aesthetic and occlusal adjustments were held. The resin composite veneers can be utilized to restore function and aesthetics, while respecting the indications and limitations of restorative materials

The cure time of endodontic sealers may influence the bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin. Forty teeth were selected and endodontically filled using calcium hydroxide cement and then divided into 2 groups according to the time elapsed between endodontic filling and post luting (n = 20): Immediately - glass fiber post luting immediately after endodontic filling; and Delayed - post luting performed 7 days after endodontic filling. The roots were also subdivided according to resin cement used for post luting (RelyX ARC and RelyX Unicem). The specimens were stored at 37°C for 24 h and sectioned in six 1-mm-thick slices from cervical, middle and apical thirds. The slice specimens were submitted to a push-out test at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min, and the bond strength values obtained (MPa) were submitted to two-way ANOVA in a split-plot arrangement and Tukey's test (α=0.05). For both RelyX ARC and Unicem, the bond strength was significantly higher when the posts were cemented 7 days after the endodontic treatment. RelyX Unicem showed significantly higher bond strength values than RelyX ARC for both cementation periods. It was concluded that post luting should be made after the complete setting of the root canal sealer. Self-adhesive resin cement should be preferred for fiber post luting.
O tempo de presa de cimentos endodônticos pode afetar a resistência de união de pinos de fibra de vidro à dentina radicular. Quarenta dentes foram selecionados e tratados endodonticamente com cimento à base de hidróxido de cálcio. Em seguida, os mesmos foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com o tempo decorrido entre o tratamento endodôntico e a cimentação definitiva (n=20): Imediato - pinos de fibra de vidro cimentados após o tratamento endodôntico; e Mediato - cimentação do pino realizada 7 dias após o tratamento endodôntico. As raízes foram subdivididas de acordo com o cimento resinoso (RelyX ARC e RelyX Unicem). As amostras foram armazenadas a 37 °C durante 24 h e seccionadas em seis fatias de 1 mm de espessura relacionadas com terços cervical, médio e apical. Os espécimes foram submetidos a teste de push-out a uma velocidade de 0,5 mm/min e os valores de resistência de união obtidos (MPa) foram submetidos à análise de variância em esquema de parcelas subdivididas e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Para os cimentos RelyX ARC e Unicem, a resistência de união foi maior quando os pinos foram cimentados 7 dias após o tratamento endodôntico. RelyX Unicem apresentou valores de resistência de união superiores ao RelyX ARC para os períodos de cimentação. Concluiu-se que a cimentação do pino de fibra de vidro deve ser feita após o completo tempo de presa do cimento endodôntico. Cimentos resinosos auto-adesivos devem ser preferidos para cimentação de pinos de fibra.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of parallel and tapered threaded post placement on the strain and stress distribution of endodontically treated teeth. Fifteen bovine incisors were sectioned 15 mm from their apices, endodontically treated, and divided into three groups (n = 5) according to three different threaded posts: parallel threaded post (Radix-Anker, RA); tapered threaded post (Euro-Post, EP) and tapered threaded post (Reforpost II, RII). A strain-gauge was fixed on the proximal surface perpendicular to the long root axis, 2 mm from the cervical limit. Strain generated during post placement was recorded and compared using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α= .05). A scanning electron microscope was used to examine the longitudinal root sections. Stress was evaluated for each group in a two-dimensional finite element analysis. The models were meshed with tetrahedron elements and loaded with 2 N at an angle of 135° to the lingual face. The equivalent Von Mises stress was calculated. The one-way ANOVA showed significant difference among the groups. The RA group (150.0 ± 12.2 A) produced higher external strain than the RII (80.0 ± 12.2 B) and the EP (70.0 ± 6.1 B) groups. The inner strain was approximately five times greater than the external dentin strain. High stress concentrations in each thread of the posts were observed. Scanning electron micrographs showed cracks that started in the threads of the posts. The threaded post placement induced root strain mainly on the parallel side post. Root strain and stress concentration on the post threads tended to create cracks in the inner root canal dentin.
