ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of cervical dentin hypersensitivity in patients after corrective orthodontic treatment has been poorly studied, although such hypersensitivity is very common. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dentin hypersensitivity in patients who received corrective orthodontic treatment, the impact of general oral problems on quality of life, and the impact of hypersensitivity on the quality of life of this population. METHODS: This observational, cross-sectional study evaluated 232 patients who finished orthodontic treatment between 2000 and 2020 for self-reported hypersensitivity and clinically diagnosed hypersensitivity. The following tests were used: tactile, evaporative (bellows), evaporative (triple syringe), and thermal. The patients were also evaluated regarding their quality of life using questionnaires (Oral Health Impact Profile-14 and Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire). We evaluated data with nonparametric statistics. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypersensitivity was higher in women and in those aged <30 years; the most affected teeth were the mandibular incisors and premolars; different diagnostic tests for hypersensitivity may indicate different prevalence values; patients with hypersensitivity had a lower quality of life in most of the domains of both of the tests that were used. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of hypersensitivity among patients after orthodontic treatment may be higher than in the general population. Further investigation is needed to indicate the possible factors associated with orthodontic tooth movement.

INTRODUCTION: Third generation of LED light curing units might be used in short exposure periods for orthodontic brackets bonding. OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effect of the different radiant exposure (RE) values: Manufacturers' instructions (MI), ½ MI, 1/4 MI and Turbo mode. Two third-generation LED curing units were used: VALO® and Bluephase 20i® . The degree of conversion (DC) and Vickers hardness (VHN) of an orthodontic composite (OC) (Transbond XT) under metallic (MB) or ceramic brackets (CB) were measured. METHODS: OC was applied to the bracket base, which was then placed over an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) table coupled to an infrared light spectroscope, or to a glass surface for the VHN analysis. The specimens were light-cured and DC values were calculated. The VHN was obtained in a microhardness tester. The data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test (pre-set α=0.05). Linear regression analysis evaluated the relationship between RE values and dependent variables. RESULTS: CB allowed higher DC and VHN values than MB (p< 0.001). No significant difference was noted among groups when CB were used. For MB, MI groups showed the highest DC and VHN values. A significant, but weak relationship was found between delivered RE values and dependent variables. CONCLUSIONS: The decrease in RE values from third generation LED CU did not jeopardize the DC values when CB were used, but can compromise DC and VHN values when MB are used.

RESUMO Introdução: A terceira geração de LEDs fotopolimerizadores pode ser utilizada em curtos períodos de exposição para a colagem de braquetes ortodônticos. Objetivo: O presente estudo avaliou o efeito dos diferentes valores de irradiância (IR): instruções do fabricante (IF), ½ IF, » IF e modo Turbo. Dois fotopolimerizadores LED de terceira geração (VALO® e Bluephase20i®) foram utilizados. Foram mensurados o grau de conversão (GC) e a dureza Vickers (VHN) de um compósito ortodôntico (CO) (Transbond XT) sob braquetes metálicos (BM) ou cerâmicos (BC). Métodos: O compósito ortodôntico foi aplicado na base do braquete e foi posicionado sobre uma mesa de refletância total atenuada (ATR) acoplada a um espectroscópio de infravermelho ou a uma superfície de vidro para análise de VHN. As amostras foram fotopolimerizadas e os valores de GC foram calculados. O VHN foi obtido em um microdurômetro. Os dados foram analisados com ANOVA de 2 fatores seguida do teste post-hoc de Tukey (predefinido α = 0,05). A análise de regressão linear avaliou a relação entre os valores de IR e as variáveis dependentes. Resultados: BC permitiu valores maiores de GC e VHN do que BM (p<0,001). Nenhuma diferença significativa foi observada entre os grupos quando BC foi utilizado. Para BM, os grupos de IF mostraram os maiores valores de GC e VHN. Uma relação significativa, mas fraca, entre os valores de IR entregue e as variáveis dependentes foi encontrada. Conclusões: A diminuição dos valores de IR dos fotopolimerizadores LED de terceira geração não prejudicou os valores de GC quando BC foram utilizados, mas pode comprometer os valores de GC e VHN quando BM são utilizados.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of light emitted from two Polywave®, LED light-curing units (LCU) on in vivo pulp temperature (PT) rise and signs of acute inflammatory response in pulps of human premolar having deep Class V preparations. METHODS: Sixty intact, first premolars from 15 volunteers requiring extraction received infiltrative anesthesia. A sterile thermocouple probe was inserted within the pulp tissue through a minute occlusal pulp exposure in only 45 teeth (n = 9) to continuously monitor PT (°C). A deep buccal Class V preparation was created, and the surface was exposed to light from a commercial Polywave LCU (Bluephase 20i (20i), Ivoclar Vivadent) or from an experimental LCU (Exp) using the exposure modes (EM): 1s/Exp and 2s/Exp, 10s/20i, 20s/20i, and 60s/20i. Peak PT and PT rise values above baseline (ΔT) data were evaluated using a one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test (α = 5%). Teeth used for histological and immunohistochemical analyses (n = 3) were extracted approximately 2 h after exposure to the LCU. RESULTS: No significant difference in peak PT and ΔT values was noted between 2s/Exp and 20s/20i groups, which both exhibited higher values than 1s/Exp and 10s/20i groups (p < 0.001). Dilated and congested blood vessels were seen after exposure to 1s/Exp, 2s/Exp, or 60s/20i EMs. The expression of IL-1ß and TNF-α tended to be more intense when higher irradiance was delivered. SIGNIFICANCE: Although higher irradiance delivered over a short exposure caused lower PT rise than 5.5 °C, such EMs should be used with caution, as they have more potential to harm the pulp tissue.

OBJECTIVES: To measure and compare in vivo and in vitro pulp temperature (PT) increase (ΔTEMP) over baseline, physiologic temperature using the same intact upper premolars exposed to the same Polywave® LED curing light. METHODOLOGY: After local Ethics Committee approval (#255,945), local anesthesia, rubber dam isolation, small occlusal preparations/minute pulp exposure (n=15) were performed in teeth requiring extraction for orthodontic reasons. A sterile probe of a temperature measurement system (Temperature Data Acquisition, Physitemp) was placed within the pulp chamber and the buccal surface was sequentially exposed to a LED LCU (Bluephase 20i, Ivoclar Vivadent) using the following exposure modes: 10-s low or high, 5-s Turbo, and 60-s high. Afterwards, the teeth were extracted and K-type thermocouples were placed within the pulp chamber through the original access. The teeth were attached to an assembly simulating the in vivo environment, being similarly exposed while real-time temperature (°C) was recorded. ΔTEMP values and time for temperature to reach maximum (ΔTIME) were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's post-hoc tests (pre-set alpha 0.05). RESULTS: Higher ΔTEMP was observed in vitro than in vivo. No significant difference in ΔTIME was observed between test conditions. A significant, positive relationship was observed between radiant exposure and ΔTEMP for both conditions (in vivo: r2=0.917; p<0.001; in vitro: r2=0.919; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Although the in vitro model overestimated in vivo PT increase, in vitro PT rise was close to in vivo values for clinically relevant exposure modes.

OBJECTIVE: This in vivo study evaluated pulp temperature (PT) rise in human premolars having deep Class V preparations during exposure to a light curing unit (LCU) using selected exposure modes (EMs). METHODS: After local Ethics Committee approval, intact first premolars (n=8) requiring extraction for orthodontic reasons, from 8 volunteers, received infiltrative and intraligamental anesthesia and were isolated using rubber dam. A minute pulp exposure was attained and sterile probe from a wireless, NIST-traceable, temperature acquisition system was inserted into the coronal pulp chamber to continuously monitor PT (°C). A deep buccal Class V preparation was prepared using a high speed diamond bur under air-water spray cooling. The surface was exposed to a Polywave® LED LCU (Bluephase 20i, Ivoclar Vivadent) using selected EMs, allowing 7-min span between each exposure: 10-s in low (10-s/L), 10-s (10-s/H), 30-s (30-s/H), or 60-s (60-s/H) in high mode; and 5-s-Turbo (5-s/T). Peak PT values and PT increases over physiologic baseline levels (ΔT) were subjected to 1-way, repeated measures ANOVAs, and Bonferroni's post-hoc tests (α=0.05). Linear regression analysis was performed to establish the relationship between applied radiant exposure and ΔT. RESULTS: All EMs produced higher peak PT than the baseline temperature (p<0.001). Only 60-s/H mode generated an average ΔT of 5.5°C (p<0.001). A significant, positive relationship was noted between applied radiant exposure and ΔT (r2=0.8962; p<0.001). SIGNIFICANCE: In vivo exposure of deep Class V preparation to Polywave® LED LCU increases PT to values considered safe for the pulp, for most EMs. Only the longest evaluated EM caused higher PT increase than the critical ΔT, thought to be associated with pulpal necrosis.

PURPOSE: This study employed a posteriori registration and subtraction of radiographic images to quantify the apical root resorption in maxillary permanent central incisors after orthodontic treatment, and assessed whether the external apical root resorption (EARR) was related to a range of parameters involved in the treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A sample of 79 patients (mean age, 13.5±2.2 years) with no history of trauma or endodontic treatment of the maxillary permanent central incisors was selected. Periapical radiographs taken before and after orthodontic treatment were digitized and imported to the Regeemy software. Based on an analysis of the posttreatment radiographs, the length of the incisors was measured using Image J software. The mean EARR was described in pixels and relative root resorption (%). The patient's age and gender, tooth extraction, use of elastics, and treatment duration were evaluated to identify possible correlations with EARR. RESULTS: The mean EARR observed was 15.44±12.1 pixels (5.1% resorption). No differences in the mean EARR were observed according to patient characteristics (gender, age) or treatment parameters (use of elastics, treatment duration). The only parameter that influenced the mean EARR of a patient was the need for tooth extraction. CONCLUSION: A posteriori registration and subtraction of periapical radiographs was a suitable method to quantify EARR after orthodontic treatment, and the need for tooth extraction increased the extent of root resorption after orthodontic treatment.

OBJECTIVES: This in vivo study evaluated pulp temperature (PT) rise in human premolars during exposure to a light curing unit (LCU) using selected exposure modes (EMs). METHODS: After local Ethics Committee approval, intact first upper premolars, requiring extraction for orthodontic reasons, from 8 volunteers, received infiltrative and intraligamental anesthesia. The teeth (n=15) were isolated using rubber dam and a minute pulp exposure was attained. A sterile probe from a wireless, NIST-traceable, temperature acquisition system was inserted directly into the coronal pulp chamber, and real time PT (°C) was continuously monitored while the buccal surface was exposed to polywave light from a LED LCU (Bluephase 20i, Ivoclar Vivadent) using selected EMs allowing a 7-min span between each exposure: 10-s either in low (10-s/L) or high (10-s/H); 5-s-turbo (5-s/T); and 60-s-high (60-s/H) intensities. Peak PT values and PT increases from baseline (ΔT) after exposure were subjected to one-way, repeated measures ANOVAs, and Bonferroni's post hoc tests (α=0.05). Linear regression analysis was performed to establish the relationship between applied radiant exposure and ΔT. RESULTS: All EMs produced higher peak PT than the baseline temperature (p<0.001). The 60-s/H mode generated the highest peak PT and ΔT (p<0.001), with some teeth exhibiting ΔT higher than 5.5°C. A significant, positive relationship between applied radiant exposure and ΔT (r(2)=0.916; p<0.001) was noted. SIGNIFICANCE: Exposing intact, in vivo anesthetized human upper premolars to a polywave LED LCU increases PT, and depending on EM and the tooth, PT increase can be higher than the critical ΔT, thought to be associated with pulpal necrosis.

OBJECTIVES: Human intrapupal tooth temperature is considered to be similar to that of the body (≈37 °C), although the actual temperature has never been measured. This study evaluated the in vivo, human, basal, coronal intrapulpal temperature of anesthetized upper first premolars. METHODS: After approval of the local Ethics Committee was obtained (protocol no. 255,945), upper right and left first premolars requiring extraction for orthodontic reasons from 8 volunteers, ranging from 12 to 30 years old, received infiltrative and intraligamental anesthesia. The teeth (n=15) were isolated using rubber dam and a small, occlusal preparation was made using high-speed handpiece, under constant air-water spray, until a minute pulp exposure was attained. The sterile probe from a wireless, NIST-traceable, temperature acquisition system (Thermes WFI) was inserted directly into the coronal pulp. Once the probe was properly positioned and stable, real-time temperature data were continuously acquired for approximately 25 min. Data (°C) were subjected to 2-tailed, paired t-test (α=0.05), and the 95% confidence intervals for the initial and 25-min mean temperatures were also determined. RESULTS: The initial pulp temperature value (31.8±1.5 °C) was significantly lower than after 25-min (35.3±0.7 °C) (p<0.05). The 95% confidence interval for the initial temperature ranged from 31.0 to 32.6 °C and from 35.0 to 35.7 °C after 25 min. A slow, gradual temperature increase was observed after probe insertion until the pulp temperature reached a plateau, usually after 15 min. SIGNIFICANCE: Consistent coronal, human, in vivo temperature values were observed and were slightly, but significantly below that of body core temperature.

Uma higiene bucal deficiente favorece o acúmulo de placa bacteriana e o início de inflamação gengival. O uso de aparelhos ortodônticos tem um grande impacto sobre a microbiota bucal porque fornece sítios extras de adesão bacteriana. O uso de substâncias químicas vem sendo empregado com o objetivo de inibir a formação de biofilme dental, crescimento bacteriano e a adesão de bactérias às superfícies. O presente estudo comparou a aderência de bactérias em ligaduras da marca Morelli® e OrthoSource® e a potencial desinfecção pelos colutórios: Plax Ice®, Listerine Vanilla Mint®, Malvatricin®, Periogard® e Solução de Clorexidina 0,12% + Óleos essenciais (produto manipulado, Fleming Farmácia de Manipulação). As ligaduras foram encubadas em suspensão multibacteriana e imersas nos agentes químicos. Após a semeadura e contagem de UFC/mL, os resultados foram avaliados estatisticamente. Não houve diferença significativa na aderência de bactérias ao compararmos as duas marcas (p>0.05) e houve grande eficácia na desinfecção com o uso dos colutórios Periogard® e Listerine Vanilla Mint® (p<0.05). O uso em Ortodontia dos colutórios pode ser útil na prevenção da formação de biofilme dental e uma alternativa para a pré-desinfecção das ligaduras
Deficient oral hygiene favors biofilm formation and outset of gingival inflammation. The use of orthodontic appliances has an important impact on the oral microbiota once it provides additional sites of bacterial adhesion. Chemicals have been employed in order to inhibit the formation of biofilm, bacterial growth, and adhesion of bacteria to surfaces. This study compared the adherence of bacteria on Morelli and OrthoSource elastic ligatures and potential disinfection by mouthwashes: Plax Ice, Listerine Vanilla Mint, Malvatricin, Periogard and chlorhexidine solution 0.12% + essential oils (Fleming Farmácia de Manipulação, Ponta Grossa - PR). Ligatures were incubated in multibacterial suspension and soaked in the chemicals. After platting on agar and obtaining the number of cfu/mL, results were evaluated statistically. No significant difference in bacterial adherence was observed when compared the two brands (p>0.05) and disinfection with the mouthwashes was very effective, mainly with Periogard and Listerine Vanilla Mint (p<0.05). The use of mouthwashes may be useful in the prevention of biofilm formation in dental braces, as well as an alternative for disinfecting the ligatures prior to installation.

Na descolagem de bráquetes ortodônticos pode ocorrer a perda de esmalte na interface adesivo-esmalte. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os possíveis danos à superfície do esmalte com recolagens de bráquetes metálicos e cerâmicos novos por meio da resistência adesiva ao cisalhamento (RAC), da análise do índice de adesivo remanescente (IAR), da avaliação da rugosidade de superfície (RA) e pela análise de microscopia eletrônica (MEV). Foram usados 120 pré-molares, divididos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos de 30 dentes: CS (Controle Saliva); CA (Condicionamento Ácido); M (Metálico) e C (Cerâmico). Foram colados 120 bráquetes metálicos e 120 cerâmicos, para os grupos M e C, em quatro tempos. Os ensaios mecânicos foram realizados em máquina SHIMADZU, na velocidade 0,5 mm/min. Na avaliação da RAC, o ANOVA a dois critérios demonstrou não haver diferenças (p= 0,052) entre os grupos. Na avaliação do IAR, o teste U de Mann-Whitney demonstrou diferença entre os grupos (p< 0,001), onde o grupo cerâmico exibiu escores mais altos que o metálico. Para a rugosidade, o ANOVA a um critério demonstrou que o grupo M apresentou maior RA (p< 0,001). O teste de Tukey demonstrou que os grupos M e C, após o polimento com discos Sof-Lex, exibiram valores de rugosidade inferiores aos demais grupos. Conclui-se que na remoção de bráquetes metálicos ou cerâmicos e da resina remanescente existe maior risco de danos ao esmalte nas recolagens sucessivas. O polimento com discos Sof-Lex promoveu superfície com maior lisura do esmalte.
Debonding of orthodontic brackets may cause enamel surface loss primarily at the adhesive-enamel interface. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate by means of shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), assessment of surface roughness and electron microscope analysis, the possible damages at enamel surface with repeated rebonding of new metallic and ceramic brackets. One hundred and twenty human premolars were randomly divided into 4 groups of 30 premolars each: CS (Saliva Control); CA (Acid Etching); M (Metal); C (Ceramic). For CA group, 4 repeated acid conditionings were performed. One hundred and twenty metallic and ceramic brackets, for groups M and C, were bonded and rebonded respectively at 4 stages. Mechanical trials were obtained with a SHIMADZU testing machine at 0.5 mm/min cross-speed. The SBS results were statistically tested with ANOVA, and no statistically significant differences (p=0.052) were observed. The ARI was evaluated by Mann-Whitney test, which demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference between metallic and ceramic brackets (p<0.001). The ceramic group exhibited higher statistically significant scores for ARI than the metallic group. The roughness assessment was made with one-way ANOVA, that showed statistically significant differences between groups (p<0.001). Tukey´s test has demonstrated that the M and C groups that were polished with SofLex discs had statistically significant lower roughness values as compared to other groups. Polishing with Sof-lex discs, lead to increased smoothness of enamel surfaces.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar em diferentes resinas ortodônticas a microdureza Vickers e o grau de conversão. Quatro resinas foram utilizadas: Orthobond (OB), Ortholite (OL), Concise (CO) e Transbond XT (TB). Para cada resina, cinco amostras foram obtidas, nas quais foram realizadas trinta endentações em cada superfície no microdurômetro Shimadzu (carga de 300 gramas/15 segundos). Para a avaliação do grau de conversão, duas amostras de cada monômero e polímero foram obtidas e submetidas ao ensaio de FTIR pelo método de transmissão, com resolução 2 cm-1 e 40 varreduras. Os resultados de microdureza Vickers (µHV) e grau de conversão (%) foram, respectivamente, para OB: 46 ± 17.52 (70% ±1.41), OL: 71 ±28.15 (61% ±3.53), CO: 76 ±32.70 (70% ±0.35) e TB: 73±28.40 (60% ±9.89). Os dados da µHV foram submetidos ao Teste de ANOVA e pós teste de Tukey, não apresentando diferenças estatísticas significantes entre as resinas. O conhecimento das propriedades físicas entre as resinas pode facilitar a escolha do material utilizado nos procedimentos ortodônticos.
The aim of this study was to evaluate Vickers microhardness and the degree of conversion of different orthodontic resins. Four resins were used: Orthobond (OB), Ortholite (OL), Concise (CO), and Transbond XT (TB). For each resin five samples were obtained, in which thirty indentations were made on each surface in Shimadzu microhardness (300 grams/15 seconds). To assess the degree of conversion, two samples of each monomer and polymer materials were obtained and submitted to the test of FTIR Spectrophotometry by method of transmission, toned down with resolution 2 cm-1 and 40 scans. The results of Vickers microhardness (µ HV) and degree of conversion (%) were, respectively OB: 46 ± 17.52 (70% ± 1.41); OL: 71 ± 28.15 (61% ± 3.53); CO: 76 ± 32.70 (70% ± 0.35); TB: 73 ± 28.40 (60% ± 9.89). The data were submitted to ANOVA test and Tukey post-test, and no significant statistical differences were observed between the resins. The knowledge of the physical properties between resins can facilitate the choice of the material used in orthodontic procedures.

O objetivo deste artigo é relatar o tratamento ortodôntico de uma paciente adulta, portadora de Classe II divisão 1ª com o auxílio de miniplacas. A paciente apresentava discrepância maxilomandibular (ANB = 8º), relação de Classe II de caninos e molares de ambos os lados, sobremordida profunda, sobressaliência aumentada e incisivos superiores protruídos. O perfil facial era convexo e o terço inferior levemente aumentado. O plano de tratamento consistiu em alinhamento e nivelamento dos arcos superior e inferior e, posteriormente, realizou-se a instalação das miniplacas que forneceram ancoragem para a distalização do arco superior. O resultado clínico pode ser considerado satisfatório para um tratamento esquelético compensatório.

Este estudo avaliou a Dureza Vickers (HV), a resistência adesiva (RA) e o índice de adesivo remanescente (IAR) de três resinas ortodônticas: Concise (CO), Transbond XT (TB) e a Aqualite (AQ). Para a análise da HV foram confeccionados 30 corpos de prova em matrizes metálicas pré-fabricadas com diâmetro de 0,5 mm e 0,2 mm de espessura. Os valores de HV foram CO = 43,29 ± 1,66, TB = 43,69 ± 1.37 e AQ = 43,51 ± 1,30. Os resultados para HV foram analisados pelo teste ANOVA one-way e pós-teste de Tukey, onde não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas significativas (p>0,05). Para a RA foram utilizados 60 pré-molares e confeccionados corpos de prova, os quais foram divididos em 3 grupos (n= 20) para a colagem de bráquetes metálicos com as resinas Concise (CO), Transbond XT (TB) e Aqualite (AQ). Os bráquetes após a colagem foram submetidos aos ensaios mecânicos de cisalhamento em máquina de ensaio universal SHIMADZU, com velocidade de carga de 0,5 mm/min. A avaliação dos resultados do cisalhamento foram analisados pelo teste de variância ANOVA, e mostraram RA médias para CO de 18,21 ± 6,21 MPa; para TB de 25,02 ± 9,29 MPa e para AQ de 14,31 ± 8,25 MPa. A ANOVA demonstrou diferença estatística entre AQ/TB e CO/TB (p<0,05) e sem diferença estatística significante entre AQ/CO. Para avaliação do IAR utilizou-se o teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis, seguido do teste de Dunn, sem diferenças estatísticas significativas (p>0,05). Conclui-se que a resina TB apresentou maior RA em relação à CO e AQ. Não existe diferença entre a HV e o IAR entre as resinas.
This study evaluated Vickers hardness (HV), adhesive resistance and adhesive remnant index (ARI) on three orthodontic resins: Concise (CO), Transbond XT (TB), and Aqualite (AQ). For the HV analysis, 30 specimens were prepared with pre-manufactured matrixes with a 0.5 mm width and 0.2 mm thick. HV values were CO = 43.29 ± 1.66, TB = 43.69 ± 1.37 e AQ = 43.51 ± 1.30. Those values were evaluated by the one-way ANOVA test following Tukey test, and no significant statistical differences (p>0.05) were observed. For the RA evaluation, 60 pre-molar specimens were used, divided in 3 groups (n=20) and the metallic brackets were bonded with Concise (CO), Transbond XT (TB), and Aqualite (AQ). After bonding the brackets were submitted to shear bond strength mechanic trials with a SHIMADZU universal testing machine, with a cross-head speed of 0.5 mm per minute. The results of the shear bond strength were evaluated by the ANOVA and revealed RA means for CO values of 18.21 ± 6.21 MPa; 25.02 ± 9.29 MPa for TB, and 14.31 ± 8.25 MPa for AQ. ANOVA showed statistical differences between AQ/TB and CO/TB (p<0.05) while no statistical differences were observed between AQ/CO. For the ARI evaluation, the Kruskal-Wallis non parametric test was performed following the Dunns test, without any statistical significant differences (p>0.05). It was concluded that the TB resin presented higher RA values in relation to CO and AQ. There are no differences between the HV and IAR in the studied resins.
