ABSTRACT
Occlusal stabilization splints are the most common treatment for controlling the deleterious effects of sleep bruxism. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a low-cost, mixed occlusal splint (MOS) compared to that of a rigid splint. A randomized clinical trial was performed on 43 adults of both sexes with possible sleep bruxism and satisfactory dental conditions. They were divided into rigid occlusal splint (ROS) (n = 23) and MOS (n = 20) groups. Masticatory muscle and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain intensity (visual analog scale), quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), indentations in the oral mucosa, anxiety, and depression (HADS), number of days of splint use, and splint wear were evaluated. All variables were evaluated at baseline (T0), 6 months (T6), and 12 months (T12) after splint installation (T0), and splint wear was evaluated at T6 and T12. Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, non-parametric Friedman's analysis of variance for paired samples and pairwise multiple comparisons, Pearson's chi-square test, two-proportion z-test, non-parametric McNemar's and Cochran's Q, and Wilcoxon tests were used (p < 0.05). In both groups, there was a decrease in TMJ pain and pain intensity over time and improvements in the quality of life scores. At T6, there was a higher rate of splint wear in the MOS group than in the ROS group (p = 0.023). The MOS showed a higher rate of wear than the rigid splint but had similar results for the other variables. Therefore, the use of a mixed splint appears to be effective in controlling the signs and symptoms of sleep bruxism.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Little is known about the effect of different composite resin cements on the bond strength of prefabricated and milled glass fiber post-and-cores. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the push-out bond strengths of root dentin and standard, relined, or computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) glass fiber post-and-cores luted with conventional, universal, or self-adhesive composite resin cement. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Post spaces were prepared in 90 premolars. Standard and relined prefabricated and CAD-CAM-milled glass fiber post-and-cores were luted with conventional (RelyX ARC; 3M ESPE), universal (RelyX Ultimate; 3M ESPE), and self-adhesive (RelyX U200; 3M ESPE) composite resin cement (n=10). All specimens were thermally aged (5000 cycles at 5°C and 55°C with a 20-second dwell time) and mechanical fatigue (1 000 000 cycles at 2â¯Hz, 50-N load). The specimens were sectioned perpendicularly to the root long axis into 1-mm-thick sections (apical, middle, and cervical root thirds), the push-out bond strength was determined, and the mode of failure recorded. Data were submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Bonferroni-Dunn multiple comparison test (α=.05). RESULTS: Push-out bond strength values did not differ (P>.05) among posts at the same root thirds. Standard posts showed higher bond strength than CAD-CAM at the apical third for data grouped by composite resin cements (P<.001). The cervical root thirds had higher bond strength than the apical thirds (P<.05). The cervical, middle, and apical root thirds showed decreasing bond strength values for each type of post for data grouped by composite resin cement (P<.001). Adhesive failures at the dentin-cement interface were predominant. CONCLUSIONS: The type of posts and cements did not affect the bond strength of glass fiber posts. The cervical root thirds had better bonding performance than the apical thirds.

The objective is to present a clinical case of dental autotransplantation managed with surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and aesthetic rehabilitation. A 10-year-old boy sought treatment after avulsion of the maxillary left central incisor, which was not reimplanted. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination, and complementary examinations, agenesis of the maxillary and mandibular second premolars except the mandibular right second premolar was observed. After a multidisciplinary planning, the space in the maxillary left central incisor region was opened to receive the transplanted mandibular right second premolar. The receptor site was created in a single surgical procedure. Pulp necrosis was noted in the transplanted tooth, which was treated endodontically, and the agenesis spaces were closed using fixed orthodontic appliances. After removing the appliance, gingivectomy with osteotomy was performed in the maxillary right central incisor and the transplanted tooth regions to harmonize the height and shape of the gingival contour. Next, aesthetic readjustment was performed with tooth whitening, using office and home techniques, followed by microabrasion of the vestibular surface of the maxillary right central incisor. Direct composite resin restorations were placed in the maxillary incisors, and the teeth were rehabilitated using incisal and palatal guides. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for reestablishing the function and aesthetics of complex cases involving dental autotransplantation.

ABSTRACT
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic use of fluoxetine on the amount of orthodontic tooth movement and tissue changes in rats. A total of 192 Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: S, 0.9% saline solution; F, 20 mg/kg of fluoxetine; SM, 0.9% saline solution with orthodontic movement; and FM, 20 mg/kg of fluoxetine with orthodontic movement. After 30 days of daily saline or fluoxetine administration, an orthodontic device (25cN) was used to mesially displace the first molar in animals of the groups SM and FM. The animals were euthanized 2, 7, 14, and 28 days after placement of the orthodontic appliances and animals of groups S and F were euthanized at the same time. The assessment of tooth movement was made in gypsum castings, the collagen neoformation was assessed by polarization microscopy, the number of osteoclasts and root resorption were evaluated using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, and presence of hyalinized areas was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Fluoxetine did not affect the amount of tooth displacement, percentage of collagen, number of osteoclasts, and presence of hyalinized areas (P>0.05). There was a higher frequency of root resorption areas in the FM group than in the SM group only on the second day (P<0.05). The findings of this study show that chronic use of 20 mg/kg fluoxetine does not affect the amount of tooth movement, collagen neoformation, number of osteoclasts, or hyalinized areas and does not affect root resorption until the last day of orthodontic movement.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acute administration of nicotine and ethanol on tooth movement in rats. Two hundred rats were divided into eight groups: S: saline; N: nicotine; E: ethanol; NE: nicotine and ethanol; SM: saline with tooth movement; NM: nicotine with tooth movement; EM: ethanol with tooth movement; and NEM: nicotine and ethanol with tooth movement. All the solutions were applied for 32, 44, or 58 days, according to the subgroup. Orthodontic movement (25 cN) was initiated 30 days after solution administration in the groups with tooth movement. The rats were euthanized 2, 14, or 28 days after initiation of tooth movement. Tooth sections were stained using picrosirius and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). The data were compared by ANOVA using Tukey's HSD and Games-Howell. On day 28 of tooth movement, the NEM group had a lower percentage of type I collagen compared to the SM group (p = 0.0448), and the S group had a higher number of osteoclasts/μm2 compared to the N group (p = 0.0405). Nicotine and ethanol did not affect the tooth movement rate, regardless of induction of orthodontic movement. Nicotine influenced the number of osteoclasts by decreasing their quantity when dental movement was not induced. When nicotine was associated with ethanol, it interfered in the maturation of collagen fibers during orthodontic movement.

Abstract This study evaluated the interaction between tooth movement and two anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), Deposteron® and Nebido®. One hundred Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: control (C) n=30, Nebido experimental (N) n=35 and Deposteron experimental (D) n=35. The control group was subdivided into 6 subgroups: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 14. The experimental groups were subdivided into 7 subgroups: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 14, which corresponded to the day of animal's euthanasia after applying orthodontic force. Orthodontic devices were used to induce tooth movement using 50 cN of reciprocal force between the maxillary right first molar and the maxillary incisors. After euthanasia, the tissues were processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). Osteoclasts, Howship's lacunae and blood vessels were quantified. Groups N and D showed acceleration in the reorganization of the periodontal ligament compared to group C. The peak of the histological events occurred in group C on day 5 and in groups N and D on day 3 after installation of the orthodontic device. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of osteoclasts (p<0.05) between groups N3 and C3, and between groups N3 and D3. Supra-physiological doses of the AAS Nebido® and Deposteron® altered the number of osteoclasts, Howship's lacunae and blood vessels, accelerating the reorganization of the periodontal ligament, resulting in accelerated biological effects from the induced tooth movement in rats.
Resumo Este estudo avaliou a interação do movimento dentário entre dois esteróides anabólicos androgênicos (EAA), Deposteron® and Nebido®. Cem ratos Wistar foram divididos em 3 grupos: controle (C) n=30, Nebido experimental (N) n=35 e Deposteron experimental (D) n=35. O grupo controle foi subdivido em 6 subgrupos: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 e 14. Os grupos experimentais foram subdivididos em 7 subgrupos: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 e 14, correspondendo ao dia da eutanásia do animal após aplicada a força ortodôntica. Um dispositivo ortodôntico foi utilizado para induzir a movimentação dentária com força recíproca de 50 cN entre o primeiro molar superior direito e os incisivos superiores. Após a eutanásia, o tecido foi processado e corado com hematoxilina e eosina (HE) e fosfatase ácida tartarato-resistente (TRAP). Osteoclastos, lacunas de Howship e vasos sanguíneos foram quantificados. Os grupos N e D demonstraram aceleração na reorganização do ligamento periodontal comparado ao grupo C. O pico dos eventos histológicos ocorreu no grupo C no dia 5 e nos grupos N e D no dia 3, após a instalação do dispositivo ortodôntico. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante no número de osteoclastos (p<0,05) entre os grupos N3 e C3 e entre os grupos N3 e D3. Doses supra-fisiológicas de EAA Nebido® and Deposteron® alteraram o número de osteoclastos, lacunas de Howship e vasos sanguíneos, acelerando a reorganização do ligamento periodontal, resultando na aceleração dos efeitos biológicos na movimentação dentária em ratos.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the administration of zoledronic acid (ZA) during orthodontic movement in rats. A hundred and twenty male Wistar rats were applied force of 30 cN with spring closed nickel-titanium to move the upper right first molar to mesial. In the Control Movement group (CM), only tooth movement was performed; the Control Acid Zoledronic group (CAZ) received a single dose (0.1 mg/kg) of ZA; the Experimental Acid Zoledronic group (EAZ) received a single dose (0.1 mg/kg) one week prior to the start of tooth movement; and the Control Without movement group (CWM) that received no drug and without application of tooth movement. The animals were euthanized after 3, 7 and 14 days. Tooth movement was measured using a caliper, the number of osteoclasts using TRAP staining, the expression of mature and immature collagen using picrosirius staining, and the presence of hyaline areas and root resorption using HE. The data were compared using two-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD, Games-Howell and chi-squared test, at the 5% significance level. It was observed a smaller number of osteoclasts and greater percentage of hyaline area in the EAZ group. There was no difference among the groups regarding bone remodeling, root resorption and tooth movement for all observed times.
Resumo A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da administração do ácido zoledrônico (ZA) durante a movimentação ortodôntica em ratos. Cento e vinte ratos Wistar, machos, foram submetidos a aplicação de uma força de 30 cN através de uma mola fechada de níquel-titânio para mover o primeiro molar superior direito para mesial. No grupo Controle Movimentação (CM), apenas a movimentação dentária foi realizada; o grupo Controle Ácido Zoledrônico (CAZ) recebeu uma única dose (0,1 mg/kg) de ZA; o grupo Experimental Ácido Zoledrônico (EAZ) recebeu uma única dose (0,1 mg/Kg) uma semana antes do início da movimentação dentária; e o grupo Controle Sem Movimentação (CWM) não receberam nenhum tipo de droga e não foi realizado movimentação dentária. Os animais foram eutanásiados após 3, 7 e 14 dias. A movimentação dentária foi mensurada através de um paquímetro, o número de osteoclastos utilizando coloração TRAP, a expressão do colágeno maturo e imaturo através da coloração Picrosírius, e a presença de áreas hialinas e reabsorção radicular utilizando HE. Os dados foram comparados utilizando ANOVA a dois critérios, Tukey HSD, Games-Howell e teste de qui-quadrado, ao nível de significância de 5%. Verificou-se menor número de osteoclastos e maior porcentagem de área hialina no grupo EAZ. Não houve diferença entre grupos quanto à neoformação óssea, reabsorção radicular e movimentação dentária em todos os tempos observados.

Poucos estudos foram feitos avaliando o status inicial da oclusão estática nos pacientes que procuram tratamento ortodôntico. Objetivou-se verificar a prevalência das chaves de oclusão de Andrews no início do tratamento ortodôntico. Foram avaliados os modelos de estudo iniciais de 236 pacientes de Ortodontia, de ambos os sexos, em fase de dentição permanente. Foi verificada por meio de inspeção visual, template cefalométrico e régua milimetrada, a presença ou não das chaves de Andrews. Nos modelos avaliados, 141 apresentavam-se sem nenhuma das seis chaves, 42 com uma, 20 com duas, 28 com três e 5 com quatro das seis chaves. A chave 6, curva de Spee suave ou ausente, foi a mais frequente (27,5% dos casos) e a chave 1, relação molar, foi a menos frequente, (1% dos casos). Pacientes que buscam tratamento ortodôntico apresentam-se, em sua maioria, sem nenhuma das seis chaves de oclusão ideal de Andrews.
Few studies have been performed to evaluate the initial status of static occlusion in patients seeking orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of occlusion Andrews keys at the beginning of orthodontic treatment. Models of initial study of 236 orthodontic patients, both genders, under permanent dentition were evaluated. Presence or absence of the keys was verified by visual inspection, template cephalometric and millimeter ruler. One hundred and forty one models presented without any of the six keys, 42 with one key, 20 with two keys, 28 with three keys and 5 with four of the six keys. Key 6, mild or absent curve of Spee, was the most frequent (27.5 % of cases) while key 1, molar ratio, was less frequent (1% of cases). Patients seeking for orthodontic treatment are presented, mostly without any of the Andrews six keys to optimal occlusion.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess tissue changes during orthodontic movement after binge-pattern ethanol 20% exposure. METHODS: Male Wistar rats (n = 54) were divided into two groups. The control group (CG) received 0.9% saline solution, while the experimental group (EG) received 20% ethanol in 0.9% saline solution (3 g/kg/day). On the 30th day, a force of 25 cN was applied with a nickel-titanium closed coil spring to move the maxillary right first molar mesially. The groups were further divided into three subgroups (2, 14 and 28 days). Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and picrosirius were used to assess bone resorption and neoformation, respectively. Data were compared by two-way ANOVA, Tukey's HSD, Games-Howell and chi-square test. Significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS: There was a decrease in the number of osteoclasts in EG at day 28. The percentage of collagen showed no interaction between group and time. CONCLUSION: Binge-pattern 20% ethanol promoted less bone resorption at the end of tooth movement, thereby suggesting delay in tooth movement. .
OBJETIVO: objetivou-se avaliar as alterações teciduais decorrentes da administração de etanol a 20% no padrão binge, durante o movimento ortodôntico. MÉTODOS: foram utilizados ratos Wistar machos (n = 54), divididos em dois grupos, sendo Grupo Controle (GC), com administração de soro fisiológico a 0,9%; e Grupo e Experimental (GE), com administração de etanol a 20% em soro fisiológico a 0,9%, no volume de 3g/kg/dia. Após o 30º dia de administração, foi aplicada força de 25cN com mola fechada de níquel-titânio para mover o primeiro molar superior direito para mesial. Os grupos foram subdivididos nos subgrupos 2, 14 e 28 dias, correspondendo ao número de dias de movimentação dentária. Utilizou-se as colorações de fosfatase ácida-tartarato resistente e picrosírius para avaliar reabsorção óssea e neoformação óssea, respectivamente. Os dados foram comparados por ANOVA a dois critérios, Tukey HSD e Games-Howell, ao nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: verificou-se diminuição no número de osteoclastos no GE II no 28º dia. A percentagem de colágeno não demonstrou alteração na interação grupo x tempo. CONCLUSÕES: o etanol no padrão binge a 20% promoveu menor reabsorção óssea no final da movimentação dentária, sugerindo atraso na movimentação dentária. .

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.

Em adultos os carcinomas tímicos representam cerca de 20% das neoplasias mediastinais. A maioria dos pacientes tem entre 40 e 60 anos de idade e há ligeira predominância do sexo masculino. Em função da raridade da doença não há ensaios clínicos randomizados realizados para orientar a escolha do tratamento na doença metastática refratária ou recorrente. Alguns regimes de segunda linha têm sido usados, a maioria baseada em cisplatina. Como linhas alternativas as opções são pemetrexed, 5-flourouracil associado a leucovorin, gemcitabina, capecitabina e paclitaxel, todas com taxas de resposta pequenas. Relatamos neste artigo um caso de carcinoma tímico tratado com pemetrexed e octreotide com resposta prolongada ao tratamento.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate, by histological analysis, the effect of growth hormone (GH) on periodontal ligament and alveolar bone during experimental tooth movement in rats. Eighty male Wistar rats divided into control (C) and experimental (E) groups were examined after 3, 7, 14 and 21 days under controlled climate conditions. Orthodontic force (30 cN) was applied on the maxillary first molar by an orthodontic appliance. Group E received 0.1 IU/kg/day of GH and Group C received 0.5 mL/kg/day of saline. The samples were processed and evaluated under optical microscopy and polarized light microscopy. The Kruskal Wallis test was applied to compare the intergroup variables at 5% significance level. Group E presented a larger number of osteoclasts on the 3rd and 7th days and Howship lacunae on the 3 rd day, a smaller number of blood vessels and greater amount of mature collagen on the 3 rd and 7 th days than Group C (p<0.05). It was concluded that GH accelerated and intensified bone resorption and produced delay in immature collagen formation during experimental tooth movement.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar histologicamente o efeito do hormônio de crescimento (HC) no ligamento periodontal e osso alveolar, durante a movimentação dentária induzida em ratos. Oitenta ratos Wistar, machos, divididos nos grupos controle e experimental, foram observados nos dias 3, 7, 14 e 21. Foi aplicada força ortodôntica (30 cN) sobre o primeiro molar superior por meio de um dispositivo ortodôntico. No grupo experimental foi administrada 0,1 UI/kg/dia de HC e, no grupo controle, 0,5 mL/kg/dia de solução salina. As amostras foram processadas e avaliadas por microscopia de luz e luz polarizada. O teste de Kruskal Wallis foi utilizado para a comparação das variáveis intergrupos. Verificou-se que o grupo experimental apresentou maior quantidade de osteoclastos nos 3° e 7° dias e de lacunas de Howship no 3° dia, menor quantidade de vasos sanguíneos e maior quantidade de colágeno maduro nos 3° e 7° dias do que no grupo controle (p<0,05). Concluiu-se que o HC acelerou e intensificou a reabsorção óssea e produziu atraso na formação de colágeno imaturo, durante o movimento ortodôntico induzido.

Aim: To investigate the association between palatally impacted maxillary canines (PIC) andidiopathic osteosclerosis. Methods: A sample of 54 subjects (28 females and 26 males, mean ageof 12.98±1.59 years) with PIC was selected from the records of 1,650 orthodontic patients treatedat the Discipline of Orthodontics clinics at the Dental School of the Pontifical Catholic University ofParaná (PUCPR), in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. A control group of 54 subjects with normally eruptedcanines was also selected from the same files (mean age of 12.93±1.58 years). Panoramic,lateral skull, postero-anterior skull, periapical and occlusal radiographs, as well as stone casts ofthe patients were examined. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test revealed a normal distribution ofgender and age in the groups. The results were analyzed with the Chi-square test (α=0.05).Results: There were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between the groups. Fourpatients from each group had idiopathic osteosclerosis (7.41%), a rate that falls in the prevalencerange reported in the literature. Conclusions: No correlation was observed between palatallyimpacted maxillary canines and idiopathic osteosclerosis.

A ingestão e a aspiração de componentes dos aparelhos ortodônticos são relacionadas na literatura. Apesar de pouco preocupantes, alguns casos podem evoluir para situações de maior risco. O presente trabalho faz uma revisão dos casos relatados na literatura ortodôntica, verificando que os acidentes mais comuns são a deglutição de componentes encaixados de aparelhos fixos e de partes de aparelhos fixos ou removíveis, tendo a maioria dos acidentes ocorrido fora do consultório odontológico. A aspiração de componentes é mais rara. Os procedimentos preventivos e as atitudes a serem tomadas em situações semelhantes foram discutidas.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effects of frequently ingested beverages on force degradation of intermaxillary elastics. Material and Methods: One hundred and eighty 1/4-inch intermaxillary elastics (TP Orthodontics) were immersed into six different beverages: (1) Coca-Cola®; (2) Beer; (3) Orange juice; (4) Red wine; (5) Coffee and (6) artificial saliva (control). The period of immersion was 15 min for the first and second cycles and 30 min for the third to fifth cycles. Tensile forces were read in a tensile testing machine before and after the five immersion cycles. One-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to identify significant differences. Results: Force degradation was seen in all evaluated groups and at all observation periods (p<0.05). A greater degree of degradation was present at the initial periods, decreasing gradually over time. However, no statistically significant differences were seen among groups at the same periods, showing that different groups behaved similarly. Conclusion: The chemical nature of the evaluated beverages was not able to influence the degree of force degradation at all observation periods.

A contaminação salivar deve ser evitada para obter-se adequada adesão dos braquetes no esmalte. Entretanto, a colagem de braquetes e acessórios em dentes impactados, superfícies dentárias linguais, segundos molares e dentes parcialmente irrompidos torna mais difícil o procedimento de colagem sem contaminação. Dessa forma, materiais têm sido desenvolvidos com a intenção de obter-se boa resistência adesiva dos braquetes frente à contaminação por água e/ou saliva. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar, in vitro, a resistência adesiva ao cisalhamento após a colagem de braquetes metálicos com a resina Transbond Color Change® (TCC) e sistema adesivo Transbond Plus Self-Etching Primer® (TPSEP) na presença ou ausência de contaminação por saliva. Foram utilizados 100 incisivos inferiores bovinos, divididos em 4 grupos (Grupo 1: TPSEP + Transbond XT e ausência de contaminação; Grupo 2: TPSEP + Transbond XT e presença de contaminação; Grupo 3: TPSEP + TCC e ausência de contaminação; Grupo 4: TPSEP + TCC e presença de contaminação). Os corpos de prova foram submetidos ao teste de cisalhamento na máquina de ensaio universal DL 500 (EMIC). Os valores obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente através do método de ANOVA a dois critérios, modelo fatorial completo, e evidenciaram que a presença de contaminação por saliva diminuiu a resistência adesiva nos dois grupos estudados (p < 0,05). Conclui-se que a resistência adesiva ao cisalhamento diminui na presença de contaminação por saliva ao se utilizar um sistema adesivo e resina hidrofílicos.

Objetivo: o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar in vitro a resistência adesiva (RA) ao cisalhamento e o modo da falha adesiva pelo índice de adesivo remanescente (IAR) de braquetes cerâmicos monocristalinos Radiance e Inspire Ice, comparando-os com braquetes metálicos Miniature Twin e braquetes cerâmicos policristalinos Clarity. Métodos: foram utilizados 80 incisivos inferiores permanentes bovinos, distribuídos em 4 grupos de 20 dentes cada: G1 - braquetes metálicos Miniature Twin (3M Unitek), G2 - braquetes cerâmicos policristalinos Clarity (3M Unitek), G3 - brackets cerâmicos monocristalinos Radiance (American Orthodontics) e G4 - braquetes cerâmicos monocristalinos Inspire Ice (ORMCO). Os braquetes foram colados com Transbond XT (3M Unitek). Após 24h, avaliou-se a RA, em máquina universal de ensaios, e o IAR. Resultados: a RA média em MPa foi: G1 = 13,23; G2 = 21,00; G3 = 12,08 e G4 = 16,09. A análise de variância e o teste de Games-Howell indicaram que não houve diferença significativa (p>0,05) entre o G1 e G3 e entre o G1 e G4. O G2 diferiu estatisticamente (p<0,05) de todos os grupos, enquanto o G3 foi significativamente menor (p<0,05) que o G4. Na maior parte dos corpos de prova do G1, a falha adesiva ocorreu na interface adesivo-esmalte, resultando em IAR variando entre 0 e 1, enquanto no G2, G3 e G4 o IAR variou entre 2 e 3, evidenciando falha na interface braquete-adesivo. Conclusões: os braquetes cerâmicos monocristalinos apresentaram RA semelhante aos braquetes metálicos e demonstraram padrão de falha na interface braquete-adesivo, sugerindo a tendência do adesivo permanecer aderido ao dente.
