RESUMEN
Background: To evaluate the effect of different finishing and polishing systems on the surface roughness and color changes of bis-acryl (Protemp 4 - 3M ESPE- St. Paul, USA; Structur 3 - Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany) and chemically activated acrylic materials (Duralay - Reliance, SP, Brazil). Material and Methods: Specimens (10 x 2 mm) thick were prepared for each material. The specimens were subjected to polishing and finishing procedures with aluminum oxide discs (Diamond Master - FGM, Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil) and spiral rubber disks (Sof-Lex - 3M ESPE, Germany). The control did not receive any polishing and finishing procedures. Surface roughness and color measurement values were obtained after the finishing and polishing procedures and immediately after 30 days of storage in water, coffee, and red wine. Data for each material were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: The polishing with aluminum oxide discs was able to affect the initial surface roughness values of chemically activated acrylic material (p<0.05). After immersion in staining solutions, lower ∆E values were only observed for the bis-acryl composite resins compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The finishing and polishing systems influenced the surface roughness and color stability of the materials tested. The chemically activated acrylic resin showed lower surface roughness and higher color stability than the bis-acryl materials. Key words:Acrylic resin, bis-acryl resin, provisional restoration.
RESUMEN
This prospective case series aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using a volume collagen matrix for soft tissue augmentation to increase mucosal thickness in single implants in smokers who consume more than 10 cigarettes per day. Participants had single submerged implants necessitating soft tissue thickening. Soft tissue augmentation was done using a collagen matrix in the second-stage surgery. The primary outcome was soft tissue thickness at 90 days post-surgery. Secondary outcomes included median thickness at 30 and 60 days, changes in buccal soft tissue profile (digital measurements) at 30, 60, and 90 days, and oral health-related quality of life using OHIP-14 up to 90 days post-surgery. Pain levels via VAS scale and adverse effects were also assessed. Ten participants (4 men, 6 women) aged 45.2 ± 13.18 years initially smoked 10-20 cigarettes daily (average: 14.70 ± 3.47 cigarettes/day). After 90 days, median soft tissue thickness increased to 3.00 (2.00;3.00) mm. Buccal soft tissue profile (median change in ROI) increased by 0.40 (0.25;0.62) mm at 90 days. Pain levels decreased, and oral health-related quality of life improved significantly. No complications were reported. The collagen matrix significantly augmented buccal soft tissue thickness at implant sites in smokers (>10 cigarettes/day), with favorable outcomes and no complications.
RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of local administration of melatonin (MLT) on molecular biomarkers and calvaria bone critical defects in female rats with or without osteoporosis, associated or not with a xenogeneic biomaterial. Forty-eight female rats were randomly divided into two groups: (O) ovariectomized and (S) placebo groups. After 45 days of osteoporosis induction, two critical-size defects (5 mm diameter) were created on the calvaria. The groups were subdivided according to the following treatment: (C) Clot, MLT, MLT associated with Bio-Oss® (MLTBO), and Bio-Oss® (BO). After 45 days, the defect samples were collected and processed for microtomography, histomorphometry, and biomolecular analysis (Col-I, BMP-2, and OPN). All animals had one femur harvested to confirm the osteoporosis. Microtomography analysis demonstrated a bone mineral density reduction in the O group. Regarding bone healing, the S group presented greater filling of the defects than the O group; however, in the O group, the defects treated with MLT showed higher mineral filling than the other treatments. There was no difference between the treatments performed in the S group (p = 0.05). Otherwise, O-MLT had neoformed bone higher than in the other groups (p = 0.05). The groups that did not receive biomaterial demonstrated lower levels of Col-I secretion; S-MLT and S-MLTBO presented higher levels of OPN, while O-C presented statistically lower results (p < 0.05); O-BO showed greater BMP-2 secretion (p < 0.05). In the presence of ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis, MLT treatment increased the newly formed bone area, regulated the inflammatory response, and increased OPN expression.
RESUMEN
Objectives: To assess the impact of different concentrations TiO2-nt incorporated into a glass ionomer cement on the proliferation, mitochondrial metabolism, morphology, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production of cultured fibroblasts (NIH/3T3), whether or not stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS-2 µg/mL, 24 h). Methods: TiO2-nt was added to KM (Ketac Molar EasyMix™, 3 %, 5 %, 7 % in weight); unblended KM was used as the control. The analyses included: Cell proliferation assay (n = 6; 24/48/72h); Mitochondrial metabolism assay (n = 6; 24/48/72h); Confocal laser microscopy (n = 3; 24/48/72h); Determination of biomarkers (IL-1ß/IL-6/IL-10/VEGF/TNF) by using both multiplex technology (n = 6; 12/18 h) and the quantitative real-time PCR assay (q-PCR) (n = 3, 24/72/120 h). The data underwent analysis using both the Shapiro-Wilk and Levene tests, and by generalized linear models (α = 0.05). Results: It demonstrated that cell proliferation increased over time, regardless of the presence of TiO2-nt or LPS, and displayed a significant increase at 72 h; mitochondrial metabolism increased (p < 0.05), irrespective of exposure to LPS (p = 0.937); no cell morphology changes were observed; TiO2-nt reverted the impact of KM on the secreted levels of the evaluated proteins and the gene expressions in the presence of LPS (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: TiO2-nt did not adversely affect the biological behavior of fibroblastic cells cultured on GIC discs.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aimed to search the literature for the answer to the following questions. In human studies: Does the osseodensification technique increase the resonance frequency analysis given in implant stability quotient value and the insertion torque value compared to the conventional technique? In animal studies: Does the osseodensification technique increase implant stability quotient, bone-to-implant contact, and bone area fraction occupancy values over the conventional technique? DATA SOURCES: A search for studies was carried out in eight databases until August 2021. Out of the 447 publications found, 11 were included. RESULTS: In human studies, osseodensification technique showed better results for implant stability quotient values with a summarized median difference of 8.57. As for secondary stability, there was no significant difference, with summarized median difference of 4.49 in favor of the osseodensification technique. In animal studies, all results were favorable to the osseodensification technique. Regarding insertion torque, bone-to-implant contact, and bone area fraction occupancy between counterclockwise osseodensification technique vs conventional, the mean difference was 46.79 for insertion torque, 2.17 for bone-to-implant contact, and 2.11 for bone area fraction occupancy. High heterogeneity was observed between the studies. The risk of bias in humans was moderate in three studies and low in one; and in animal studies, four presented moderate risk, two low risk, and one high risk. The certainty of evidence ranged from low to moderate. CONCLUSION: The osseodensification technique showed improvement concerning the resonance frequency and the insertion torque value of implants in human studies. In addition, it increased the values of bone-to-implant contact, bone area fraction occupancy, and implant stability quotient in animal studies, when compared to the conventional technique.

RESUMEN
Melatonin (MLT) is a hormone responsible for regulating several physiological processes. It has been shown that MLT can be an important mediator in bone formation and stimulation, promoting osteoblast differentiation. In clinical practice, in tissue regeneration procedures, it is necessary to use membranes or barriers, associated with biomaterials, or not. The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of melatonin on the activity of osteoblastic cells, associated, or not, with a resorbable collagen membrane (Bio-Gideä). For this, mice-derived pre-osteoblastic cells MC3T3 obtained from the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) were used. Cultured cells were subject to the following treatments: MLT with a concentration of 1mM, a Bio-Gideä membrane and a membrane associated with MLT (Bio-Gideä + MLT). Proliferation and cell viability assays and protein lysate (ELISA test) quantification for the BMP-2 protein were carried out, in periods of 72 hours, 7 days and 10 days. After analyzing the data (one-way ANOVA, alpha=5%) it was observed that when MLT was used in isolation, there was an increase in cell proliferation and viability in osteoblastic cells (p<0.05). But, when MLT was associated with resorbable membranes, there was an inverse behavior, both in terms of proliferation and viability (p<0.05). In the case of the ELISA test, no secretion of BMP-2 was detected in any of the analyzed groups. It is concluded that MLT has a stimulatory effect on osteoblasts, but, when associated with Bio-Gideä resorbable membranes, it does not show any viable action in osteoblastic cell stimulation.
A melatonina (MLT) é um hormônio responsável pela regulação de diversos processos fisiológicos no nosso organismo. Tem sido demonstrado que a melatonina possa ser um importante mediador na formação e estimulação óssea, promovendo a diferenciação dos osteoblastos. Clinicamente, para o procedimento de regeneração tecidual, faz-se necessário a utilização de membranas ou barreiras, associadas ou não a biomateriais. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar o efeito da melatonina na atividade de células osteoblásticas, associada ou não a uma membrana de colágeno reabsorvível (Bio-Gide®). Para isto foram utilizadas células pré-osteoblásticas MC3T3 do ATCC (American Type Culture Collection), de camundongos. As células em cultura foram submetidas aos seguintes tratamentos: MLT na concentração de 1mM, membrana Bio Gide® e membrana associada à MLT (Bio-Gide® + MLT). Foram realizados os ensaios de proliferação e viabilidade celular e quantificação do lisado proteico (teste ELISA), para a proteína BMP-2, nos períodos de 72 horas, 7 e 10 dias. Após a análise dos dados (ANOVA um critério, alfa=5%) pode-se observar que a MLT quando utilizada sozinha, resultou em um aumento na proliferação e viabilidade celular nas células osteoblásticas (p<0,05). Entretanto, quando a MLT foi associada à membrana reabsorvível foi observado um comportamento inverso, tanto na proliferação quanto na viabilidade (p<0,05). Para o teste ELISA realizado, não houve secreção detectável de BMP-2 para nenhum grupo analisado. Conclui-se que a melatonina possui uma ação estimuladora nos osteoblastos, mas quando associada à membrana reabsorvível Bio-Gide®, não demonstra uma ação viável na estimulação de células osteoblásticas.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare xenogeneic dermal matrix (XDM) to connective tissue graft (CTG) associated with coronally advanced flap (CAF) in treating Miller's class I and II (RT1) multiple gingival recession in a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen patients with bilateral Miller's class I and II multiple recessions were selected. The patient's side receiving each treatment was randomly allocated to receive XDM or CTG. The clinical parameters were measured at baseline and 6 months of follow-up. RESULTS: At 6 months, no significant difference in the root coverage (RC) (95.28 ± 6.89% for CTG and 92.68 ± 7.35% for XDM) and the keratinized tissue (KT) gain (0.91 ± 0.46 mm for CTG and 0.74 ± 0.39 mm for XDM) was observed between groups (p > 0.05). The CTG group presented higher complete root coverage (CRC) than XDM (60% and 33%, respectively) (p = 0.045). Multiple logistic regression indicated that the XDM (p = 0.01) and the XDM and KT interaction (p = 0.02) negatively interfered in the CRC. A 1-mm increase in the baseline KT when using XDM increases almost 6 times the chance of achieving CRC, and XDM reached a similar CRC probability to CTG when the receptor area presented at least 2 mm of KT. CONCLUSIONS: Both treatments were effective for treating multiple gingival recession; similar KT gain, GR reduction, and RC were obtained for CTG and XDM, while CTG promoted higher CRC than XDM. Moreover, the amount of KT at baseline was determinant for CRC when treating multiple gingival recession with XDM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: XDM produces limited CRC in sites with a reduced amount of KT. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (REBEC) number RBR-56NZQ6.

Objective: This study analyzed two xenogenous biomaterials based on deproteinized bovine bone mineral applied for maxillary sinus elevation. Method and materials: Fourteen patients were submitted to maxillary sinus augmentation with one of the following biomaterials: Criteria Lumina Bone Porous (test group) or Geistlich Bio-Oss (control group), both of large granules (1 to 2 mm). After 6 months, trephine biopsies were collected at the time of implant placement: 27 samples (11 patients) in the test group; 7 samples (3 patients) in the control group. Biopsies were analyzed by descriptive histology and histomorphometry, in which the percentages of newly formed bone, residual biomaterial particles, and connective tissue were evaluated. Results: Histomorphometry showed means for test and control groups, respectively, of 32.41% ± 9.42% and 26.59% ± 4.88% for newly formed bone, 22.89% ± 4.58% and 25.00% ± 4.81% for residual biomaterial, and 44.70% ± 9.54% and 48.41% ± 3.36% for connective tissue. There were no differences between groups (P > .05). Conclusion: This study concluded that Criteria Lumina Bone Porous presented similar histologic and histomorphometric characteristics to Geistlich Bio-Oss 6 months after sinus elevation surgery, identifying the tested biomaterial as an interesting alternative for bone augmentation in the maxillary sinus.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Internal conical connections provide mechanical stability for the prosthetic abutment and implant connection. However, some clinical situations require the use of angled prosthetic abutments that may increase stress on supportive implants by difference force vectors under cyclic loading. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to measure the screw loosening values of prosthetic abutments with internal conical connections (indexed and nonindexed) having different angles under mechanical cycling. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-six implants (4.0×13 mm, Titamax) with internal conical connections and their respective universal prosthetic abutments (n=36, 3.5×3.3 mm) were divided into indexed and nonindexed groups (n=18) with abutment inclinations of 0 (straight), 17, and 30 degrees. An insertion torque of 15 Ncm was applied according to the manufacturer's specifications. The specimens underwent fatigue testing of 500 000 cycles at a frequency of 2 Hz with a dynamic compressive load of 120 N at an angle of 30 degrees. The detorque values were measured by using a digital torque meter and tabulated for statistical analyses. RESULTS: The specimens with indexed abutments had mean ±standard deviation detorque values of 6.72 ±2.29 Ncm under mechanical cycling, whereas those with nonindexed abutments had values of 8.98 ±1.84 Ncm. In the indexed group, the lowest detorque value was observed for abutments at 30 degrees compared with the straight group (P<.05). As for nonindexed abutments, similar detorque values were observed after increasing the abutment inclination (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS: A decrease in detorque values in the indexed abutments related to their inclination was found under mechanical cycling, whereas the prosthetic abutments with 30 degrees of angulation had the lowest values. No decrease was found in the nonindexed abutments.

Melatonin (MLT) is a potential signaling molecule in the homeostasis of bone metabolism and may be an important mediator of bone formation and stimulation. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of MLT on the viability, mRNA/protein expression and mineralization of pre-osteoblastic cells. The concentrations 5, 2.5, 1, 0.1 and 0.01 mM MLT were tested on pre-osteoblastic cells (MC3T3) compared to control (no MLT), evaluating proliferation and cell viability (C50), gene expression (RT-PCR) and secretion (ELISA) of COL-I and OPN at 24h, 48h and 72h, and the formation of mineral nodules (alizarin red and fast red) after 10 days of treatment. MLT at 5 and 2.5 mM proved to be cytotoxic (C50), so only 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mM were used for the subsequent analyses. OPN mRNA expression increased with MLT at 0.1 mM - 1 mM, which was followed by increased secretion of OPN both at 24h and 72h compared to the remaining groups (p <0.05). COL-I mRNA and COL-1 secretion followed the same pattern as OPN at 0.1 mM MLT at 72h of treatment (p <0.05). Regarding mineralization, all MLT doses (except 1mM) caused an increase (p <0.05) in the formation of mineral nodules compared to the control. Melatonin at 0.01mM - 1mM had a stimulatory effect on osteoblasts by upregulating COL-I and OPN expression/ secretion and mineralization, thereby fostering osteogenesis.

As concentrações de MLT 5, 2,5, 1, 0,1 e 0,01 mM foram testadas em células pré-osteoblásticas da linhagem MC3T3 em comparação ao controle (sem MLT), avaliando a proliferação e a viabilidade celular (C50), expressão gênica (rtPCR) e secreção (Elisa) de Colágeno tipo 1 (COL-I) e osteopontina (OPN) às 24, 48 e 72 horas, além da formação de nódulos minerais por meio do teste vermelho de Alizarina fast red após 10 dias de tratamento. MLT a 5 e 2,5 mM provou ser tóxico (C50). Portanto, as concentrações de 0,01, 0,1 e 1 mM foram utilizadas para as análises subsequentes. A expressão do mRNA da OPN aumentou com MLT a 0,1 mM-1mM, seguida pela secreção aumentada de OPN às 24 e 72 horas em comparação aos demais grupos (p<0,05). O mRNA de COL-I e a secreção de COL-I seguiram o mesmo padrão do OPN a 0,1 mM de MLT em 72 horas de tratamento (p<0,05). Em relação à mineralização, todas as doses de MLT (exceto 1mM) causaram aumento (p<0,05) na formação de nódulos minerais em comparação ao controle. A MLT na concentração entre 0,01mM a 1 mM teve um efeito estimulador sobre os osteoblastos, ao regular positivamente a expressão e secreção de COL-I e OPN, além da mineralização, favorecendo a osteogênese.

Autologous fibrin has been widely used in surgical procedures for both soft and hard tissue repair. There are different protocols and devices to obtain this matrix, with varying centrifugal time, gravity force, speed, angle of the sample tube and spinning radius. The aim of this study was to compare three methods of obtaining autologous fibrin: L-PRF using the Intra-Spin L-PRF centrifuge (Dohan protocol), the advanced PRF (A-PRF) using the Intra-Spin L-PRF centrifuge and autologous leukocyte fibrin (ALF), using the Kasvi centrifuge. Venous blood was collected from 7 healthy volunteers, which were submitted to the 3 different methods of centrifugation. The membranes were tissue-processed and evaluated by immunohistochemistry for CD3, CD20, CD68 and CD138. For CD68+, a lower number of cells was immunolabelled in the L-PRF group when compared to the other groups (A-PRF and ALF). For CD3+, a lower number of immunolabellated cells was observed in the ALF group when compared to the remaining groups (p < 0.05). In the A-PRF group, the CD20+ cell count was lower than in the remaining groups. No difference was observed in CD138+ cell counts between the groups. The 3 protocols tested are suitable for obtaining autologous fibrin membranes.

Although periodontitis is one of the commonest infectious inflammatory diseases in humans, the mechanisms involved with its immunopathology remain ill understood. Numerous molecules may induce inflammation and lead to bone resorption, secondary to activation of monocytes into osteoclasts. TACE (TNF-α converting enzyme) and DC-STAMP (dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein) appear to play a role on bone resorption since TACE induces the release of sRANKL (soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-ß ligand) whereas DC-STAMP is a key factor in osteoclast induction. The present study evaluated the levels of TACE and DC-STAMP in patients with and without periodontitis. Twenty individuals were selected: 10 periodontally healthy participants undergoing gingivectomy for esthetic reasons and 10 diagnosed with periodontitis. Protein levels of such molecules in gingival tissue were established using Western blotting. Protein levels of both TACE and DC-STAMP were higher in the periodontitis group than in the control group (p<0.05; Student t-test). In conclusion, TACE and DC-STAMP protein levels are elevated in patients with periodontitis, favoring progression of bone resorption.

The possible role of B-cell growth and differentiation-related cytokines on the pathogenesis of diabetes-related periodontitis has not been addressed so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the gene expression of proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) and B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS), two major cytokines associated to survival, differentiation and maturation of B cells in biopsies from gingival tissue with periodontitis. Gingival biopsies were obtained from subjects with periodontitis (n = 17), with periodontitis and DM (n = 19) as well as from periodontally and systemically healthy controls (n = 10). Gene expressions for APRIL, BLyS, RANKL, OPG, TRAP and DC-STAMP were evaluated using qPCR. The expressions APRIL, BLyS, RANKL, OPG, TRAP and DC-STAMP were all higher in both periodontitis groups when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the expressions of BLyS, TRAP and RANKL were significantly higher in the subjects with periodontitis and DM when compared to those with periodontitis alone (p < 0.05). The mRNA levels of BLyS correlated positively with RANKL in the subjects with periodontitis and DM (p < 0.05). BLyS is overexpressed in periodontitis tissues of subjects with type 2 DM, suggesting a possible role of this cytokine on the pathogenesis DM-related periodontitis.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the ability of lithium chloride (LiCl) to increase bone filling (BF) around threaded titanium implants inserted in estrogen-deficient rats and, thein-vitro effects of this drug on osteoblast-like cell viability, proliferation, mineralization and expression of bone-related markers. DESIGN: In vivo: Rats received sham surgery plus water (Estrogen-sufficient group), ovariectomy plus water (Estrogen-deficient group) or ovariectomy plus LiCl (150 mg/kg/every other day) (LiCl/estrogen-deficient group). On the 21st day after ovariectomy/sham surgeries, a threaded titanium implant was inserted in the rat tibia. BF and the number of TRAP + cells were assessed at 10, 20 and 30 days after implant placement. In vitro: Osteosarcoma SAOS-2 cells were exposed to 0, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mM of LiCl; cell proliferation, viability, mineralization (alizarin red staining) and gene expressions of RUNX-2, OCN, OPN, BSP and ALP (Real Time PCR) were estimated in the cultures. RESULTS: In vivo: The estrogen-sufficient and LiCl/estrogen-deficient groups demonstrated higher percentages of BF, within the limits of implant threads, than the estrogen-deficient group at 20 and 30 days (p < 0.05). The number of TRAP + cells was lower in LiCl/estrogen-deficient than in the estrogen-deficient group at all experimental times (p < 0.05). In vitro: Cell cultures exposed to LiCl (0.01 or 0.05 mM) exhibited larger areas of mineralized matrix than the non-exposed cultures (p < 0.05) and demonstrated the highest expressions of the genes investigated. CONCLUSION: LiCl treatment improved BF around threaded titanium implants inserted in estrogen-deficient rats and stimulated matrix mineralization and overexpression of bone-formation markers in osteoblastic cells in culture.

AIM: Our objective was to compare guided virtual surgery to conventional surgery in terms of angular deviation of single dental implants placed in the posterior mandible. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with bilateral homologous single teeth missing in the posterior mandible were eligible for this split-mouth randomized clinical trial. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed for virtual planning of implant position and manufacturing of the stereolithographic guides. One week after the surgery, a second CBCT scan was superimposed to the initial planning. Primary endpoint was the angular deviation between virtual and clinical implant position. Secondary endpoints were linear deviations and patient-reported outcomes collected with a questionnaire. RESULTS: Data from 12 patients were available for analysis. Angular deviation was significantly lower using stereolithographic guides as compared to conventional guides (2.2 ± 1.1° vs. 3.5 ± 1.6°, p = .042). Linear deviations were similar for both techniques in the coronal (2.34 ± 1.01 vs. 1.93 ± 0.95 mm) and apical (2.53 ± 1.11 vs. 2.19 ± 1.00 mm) dimensions (p Ë .05). The selection of the surgical technique had no significant impact on the patient-reported outcomes. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the angular discrepancy between the virtual and the clinical implant position is slightly lower when using stereolithographic guides as compared to conventional guides.

BACKGROUND: From the consolidation of surface treatments of dental implants and knowledge on the cellular mechanisms of osseointegration, studies have highlighted the importance of a connective tissue seal against the implant to prevent contamination from the oral environment and consequent biofilm formation. OBJECTIVE: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate whether different titanium surface treatments using acid solutions promoted an increase in collagen secretion, proliferation, and viability of fibroblasts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Commercially pure grade-4 titanium disks (6 × 2 mm) were treated with different acid solutions (hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric) for 20 and 60 min, respectively, obtaining mean surface roughness of 0.1 to 0.15 µm and 0.5 to 0.7 µm. Human fibroblasts were seeded onto different surfaces and assessed after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h for cell proliferation and viability using Trypan blue staining and MTT, respectively, as well as the secretion of type I collagen on to such surfaces using ELISA. Machined titanium surfaces were used as controls. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Fisher's LSD test for multiple comparisons, adopting a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: No significant difference was observed in cell proliferation for the different surfaces analyzed. Cell viability was significantly lower on the machined surface, after 48 h, when compared to the groups treated with acid for 20 or 60 min, which did not differ from each other. The expression of type I collagen was lowest on the acid-treated surfaces. CONCLUSION: The results showed that the acid treatment proposed did not promote fibroblast proliferation and viability nor favor type I collagen synthesis.
