ABSTRACT

AIM: to assess the small-scale 3D printing feasibility and cost estimation of a device for controlled dynamization. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The two-part device previously developed by our research group was printed with a carbon fiber-reinforced nylon filament (Gen3 CarbonX™ PA6+CF, 3DXTECH Additive Manufacturing) by a professional 3D printer (FUNMAT HT, Intamsys). Electricity, material, and labor costs for production in a Brazilian city in the Santa Catarina state were calculated. RESULTS: The devices for controlled dynamization were successfully printed in accordance with the planned design and dimensions. Six out of 38 printed devices presented defects in the bolt hole and were discarded. The average printing time per device was 1.9 h. The average electricity, material, and labor costs per printed device were respectively US$0.71, US$13.55, and US$3.04. The total production cost per device reaches approximately US$20 by adding the average cost of defective devices (15 %). CONCLUSION: 3D printing of the controlled dynamization device is feasible and its cost seems affordable to most healthcare services, which could optimize the consolidation of diaphyseal fractures and reduce treatment time for patients.

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.

ABSTRACT

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 2 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.

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.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasonic bath and traditional brushing in the hygiene of complete dentures of dependent residents in long-term care institutions (LTCIs). Methods: A randomized cross-over clinical study was conducted in 17 maxillary complete denture wearers living in LTCIs. Cleaning protocols were brushing or ultrasonic bath, both applied with neutral liquid soap. Biofilm biomass were estimated by MTT reduction assay and specific microbial load (CFU) of Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Candida spp. were quantified by selective and differential culture media. Results: Ultrasound method showed higher percentage reduction of biofilm biomass and specific microbial loads of Streptococcus spp. compared to brushing (p<0.01). Reduction of microbial loads of the other microorganisms were not different between cleaning methods (p>0.05). Conclusions: The ultrasonic bath proved to be a feasible alternative method for the mechanical cleaning of complete dentures in LTCIs

ABSTRACT

Among other non-bacterial organisms, yeasts have been isolated from subgingival sites with relative frequency. Candida albicans is the species most commonly isolated although its role in periodontal disease has not been established. Objective: This study evaluated the secretion patterns of aspartyl-protease (Sap) by periodontal and nonperiodontal Candida albicans strains in normoxic and anoxic conditions. Material and methods: Periodontal strains (n=10; periodontal pockets ≥3.00 mm) and nonperiodontal Candida albicans strains (n=10) were grown under normoxic and anoxic conditions in protease-inducible broth. Sap activities were quantified in supernatants using azocasein as substrate. Whole-protein contents in supernatants were determined by Bradford’s method. Specific protease activities (Sap activity.protein-1) were assessed and compared. Results: While nonperiodontal strains secrete similar amounts of Sap under both atmospheric conditions, periodontal strains secrete reduced amounts in the presence of molecular oxygen. Conclusion: Despite the limited number of assayed isolates, the possibilities of adaptation or selection of candidal strains to periodontal microenvironment may be considered...


Entre organismos não bacterianos, as leveduras têm sido isoladas de sítios subgengivais com relativa frequência. Candida albicans é a espécie mais comumente isolada, embora seu papel na doença periodontal não esteja estabelecido. Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou os padrões de secreção de aspartil-protease (Sap) por cepas periodontais e não periodontais de Candida albicans em situações de normóxia e anóxia. Material e métodos: Cepas periodontais (n=10; bolsas periodontais ≥3,00 milímetros) e cepas de não periodontais (n=10) Candida albicans foram cultivadas sob condições normóxicas e anóxicas em caldo de protease-induzida. A atividade Sap foi quantificada em sobrenadantes utilizando azocaseína como substrato. O conteúdo de proteínas totais nos sobrenadantes foi determinado pelo método de Bradford. Atividades de protease específica (atividade de proteína Sap-1) foram avaliadas e comparadas. Resultados: Apesar das cepas não periodontais secre¬tarem quantidades semelhantes de Sap em ambas as condições atmosféricas, as cepas periodontais secretam quantidades reduzidas na presença de oxigênio molecular. Conclusão: Apesar do número limitado de amostras analisadas, as possibilidades de adaptação ou seleção de cepas de Candida no microambiente periodontal pode ser considerada...

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study evaluated some physical properties of two commercial MTA cements regarding it use as root canal filling material. Methods: The compression strength (CS) of the evaluated materials was performed after 21 hours or 14 days of water immersion. The materials´ radiopacity (RD) was measured according to aluminum thickness. Regarding setting time (ST), both initial and final times were measured. The solubility (SB) was calculated according to percentage of lost mass after water storage. The pH measurement was performed in three different times (initial, 1 and 24 hours) of water storage. All tests were performed according to ISO 6876-2:2001. Results: Both cements showed that CS and pH were as in accordance with ISO standard. The two cements exhibited RD values higher than the equivalent limit of 3 mm-aluminum. Both materials exhibited SB values within the recommended limit of 3%. ST and pH also are in accordance with ISO 6876-2:2001. Additional SEM surface evaluation showed both amorphous and crystalline phase for both cements. Conclusion: It is possible to conclude that all evaluated materials are in accordance with ISO standard, allowing its use as root canal filling material.


Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou as propriedades físicas de dois cimentos MTA disponíveis comercialmente. Metodologia: A resistência a compressão (CS) dos materiais avaliados foi realizada após 21 horas e 14 dias de imersão em água. A avaliação da radiopacidade (RD) dos materiais foi mensurada em função de espessura de alumínio. Com relação à propriedade de tempo de presa (ST), tanto os tempos de presa inicial e final foram mensurados.

ABSTRACT

Improvements in strength and setting time of Portland cements (PC) are needed to enhance their performance as endodontic and load bearing materials. This study sought to enhance the compressive strength and setting time of a PC by adding one of the following additives: 20 percent and 30 percent poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA), 20 percent and 30 percent irregular and spherical amalgam alloys, and 10 percent CaCl2. The control consisted of unreinforced PC specimens. Setting time was determined using a Gillmore apparatus according to standardized methods while compressive strength was measured using a universal testing machine after 21 hours or 60 days of water storage. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey and Games-Howell tests (á = 5 percent). All additives significantly decreased both initial and final setting times as compared with the PC-control (p < .05). 30 percent PMMA and 30 percent irregular alloy had the lowest values of initial setting time. 30 percent irregular alloy also produced the lowest values of final setting time while 30 percent spherical alloy yielded the highest (p < .05). No differences were detected between the compressive strength values of 21 hours and 60 days. While 10 percent CaCl2, 20 percent and 30 percent PMMA produced values significantly lower than the PC-control, 30 percent spherical alloy significantly improved the compressive strength of the reinforced PC (p < .05). In summary, all additives significantly reduced the setting time and 30 percent spherical amalgam alloy yielded a significant increase in compressive strength for the tested PC, which might represent an improved composition for PCs to expand their use as endodontic and potentially load bearing materials.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to detect and quantify the main residual monomers released from composites, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Discs were made with dental composites (Herculite XRV, Tetric Ceram and Filtek Z250) and immersed in deionized water at 37ºC for 28 days, with water changes in 1, 7, 14 and 21 days. The mean concentration of residual monomers were subject to the Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05). Tetric Ceram exhibited significantly higher concentrations of leached monomers. Bis-GMA was the monomer released in lower concentrations for all the materials. There was no statistical difference between the amounts of TEGDMA and UDMA. Most of the monomers demonstrated maximal concentration at the 7-day period. The HPLC analysis identified Bis-GMA, TEGDMA and UDMA in detectable quantities for all the tested composites.


A liberação de monômeros residuais pode afetar o comportamento clínico e a biocompatibilidade dos materiais resinosos. O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar e quantificar os principais monômeros residuais liberados de resinas compostas, usando cromatografia líquida de alta performance (HPLC). Discos foram construídos de resinas compostas de uso odontológico (Herculite XRV, Tetric Ceram and Filtek Z250) e imersos em água deionizada a 37ºC durante 28 dias, com mudanças de água em 24 horas, 7, 14 e 21 dias. As concentrações médias dos monômeros residuais foram submetidas ao teste de Kruskal-Wallis (p<0,05). Tetric Ceram apresentou as maiores concentrações de monômeros lixiviados. Bis-GMA foi o monômero liberado em menores concentrações para todos os materiais. Não houve diferença estatística significante entre TEGDMA e UDMA. A maioria dos monômeros demonstrou máxima concentração no período de 7 dias. A análise por meio de HPLC identificou Bis-GMA, TEGDMA e UDMA em quantidades detectáveis para todas as resinas compostas testadas.

ABSTRACT

This in vitro study evaluated the Knoop hardness of the composite resins Charisma® (C) and Durafill VS® (D) polymerized in 3 different conditions: at room temperature (A) (23 ± 1°C); refrigerated at 4 ± 1°C and immediately photo-activated after removal from the refrigerator (0); and, refrigerated at 4 ± 1°C and photo-activated after a bench time of 15 min at room temperature (15). One hundred and twenty specimens (4 mm diameter and 2 mm depth) were made using a stainless steel mold and following manufacturer's instructions. All specimens were tested immediately after polymerization (I) and after 7 days of water storage in the dark at room temperature (7d). The data were subjected to ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey's test (a=0.05). On the top surface, CAI was statistically similar to C15I and DAI to D15I (p>0.05). On the bottom surface, CAI presented higher hardness values when compared to COI and C15I (p<0.05). The D groups showed no significant differences (p>0.05) on the bottom surfaces for any tested polymerization condition. After 7 days of storage, the Knoop hardness decreased significantly (p<0.05) for groups C7d and D7d except for C07d, which was not different from COI at either surface (p>0.05). D07d showed higher Knoop hardness (p<0.05) values on the top surface when compared to the other groups.


O objetivo do presente estudo in vitro foi avaliar a dureza Knoop das resinas compostas, uma resina híbrida (Charisma - C) e uma de micropartículas (Durafill VS - D) quando polimerizadas à temperatura ambiente (A) (23 ± 1°C); refrigeradas (4 ± 1°C) e fotoativadas imediatamente após a remoção do refrigerador (0); e refrigeradas (4 ± 1°C), com tempo de espera de 15 min após a remoção do refrigerador para fotoativação (15). Cento e vinte corpos-de-prova com 4 mm de diâmetro por 2 mm de altura foram confeccionados em uma matriz de aço inoxidável. Cada corpo-de-prova foi testado imediatamente após a fotoativação (I) e, após 7 dias de armazenamento (7d) em ambiente escuro com umidade relativa a 100 por cento, à temperatura do ambiente (23 ± 1°C). Quando testada imediatamente após a polimerização, na superfície de topo CAI foi estatisticamente semelhante à C15I e DAI à D15I. Na base, a resina composta CAI, teve maiores valores de dureza quando comparados à COI e C15I. Os grupos do material D não mostraram diferenças significantes com relação ao efeito da refrigeração na base. Sete dias após, os valores de dureza Knoop caíram tanto para C7d quanto para D7d com exceção de C07d que não diferiu de C07d nas diferentes superfícies, e D07d que mostrou maiores valores de dureza no topo.

ABSTRACT

The prevalence of candidosis in denture wearers is as well established as its treatment with antifungal agents (AAs). However, little research has been done regarding the effects of AAs on denture base surfaces. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of fluconazole (FLU), nystatin (NYS) and propolis orabase gel (PRO) on poly (methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) surfaces. Deionized water and orabase gel without any active component were used as control groups. Conventional heat-polymerized (Clássico) and microwave-polymerized (Onda Cryl) acrylic resins were used. After polymerization, the specimens were polished and had their surfaces evaluated for roughness, free energy and Knoop hardness. Subsequently, specimens were immersed in AAs and controls for 14 days at 35±2 °C and all variables were measured again. Data were analyzed statistically by 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test ( α=0.05). Roughness results showed similar behavior for both PMMA resins, with PRO reaching the highest values and differing significantly from the other AAs (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were found between the two PMMA resins or between NYS and FLU as regards surface free energy. In conclusion, PRO was able to induce changes in PMMA surface properties, such as roughness, which could be related to microbial adhesion.


A alta prevalência da candidose em usuários de prótese dental removível e a sua terapêutica com agentes antifúngicos (AA) está estabelecida. Contudo, o efeito dos AA sobre a superfície da resina de poli(metil-metacrilato) (PMMA) ainda não foi estudada. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do fluconazol (FLU), nistatina (NYS) e gel orabase de própolis (GO) sobre a superfície de PMMA. Água deionizada e GO sem princípio ativo foram utilizadas como controles. Espécimes fabricados com PMMA polimerizada em banho de água ou com energia de microondas receberam acabamento e polimento e tiveram a rugosidade de superfície (RS), energia livre de superfície (ELS) e dureza Knoop (DK) mensuradas. Os tratamentos de superfície foram obtidos pela imersão dos espécimes nos AA durante 14 dias. Os resultados obtidos foram analisados por ANOVA para dois fatores e para a comparação, entre tratamentos e resinas, o teste de Tukey (α=0,05) foi utilizado. Os resultados mostraram que ambas as resinas aumentaram RS e ELS, mas não diferiram entre si (p>0,05). Os grupos tratados com própolis mostraram valores maiores de RS e diferente dos demais AAs (p<0,05). Com relação a rugosidade e energia livre de superfície não foram encontradas diferenças entre as PMMAs e entre FLU e NYS. Concluiu-se que a própolis induziu modificações na superfície de PMMA aumentando a rugosidade, fator que poderá facilitar a adesão de microrganismos.

ABSTRACT

The development of new rotary instruments for endodontic treatment demands new studies to evaluate their efficacy on the retreatment of root canals. The scope of this study was to analyze the partial or total removal of the filling material by the ProTaper system in the retreatment of gutta-percha-filled root canals, as well as the time required to reach the previous working length. Thirty-six human canines were equally divided in three groups (n=12) and had their root canals prepared bythe following methods: GI=Thermafill system; GII=McSpadden; GII Ilateral condensation. After that, all specimens were retreated without solvent and using the ProTaper system. The time necessary to remove the filling material was registered. After the removal of the filling material,the specimens were sectioned longitudinally and magnified images ofthe sections were recorded and printed. The presence or absence of remaining filling material was registered. The results showed a significant statistical difference between the McSpadden group and the others with relation to the time required for filling removal. All groups exhibited an incomplete removal of the filling material. It can be concluded that although the rapidity that the ProTaper instruments reached the working length, the system has to be associated to another retreatment.


O desenvolvimento de novos instrumentos rotatórios para o tratamento endodôntico gera a necessidade de novos estudos para avaliar a eficiência desses instrumentos no retratamento dos canais radiculares. Este trabalho buscou avaliar se a remoção do material obturador é total ou parcial, bem como o tempo gasto para atingir o comprimento de trabalho utilizando-se o sistema ProTaper. Trinta e seis caninos humanos foram preparados e obturados formando três grupos experimentais (n=12):GI = sistema Thermafill; GII = McSpadden; GIII = condensação lateral.Os três grupos foram então submetidos ao retratamento utilizando-se o sistema ProTaper (sem o uso de solvente) e os tempos foram aferidos.Após a remoção do material obturador, os espécimes foram seccionados longitudinalmente e avaliados por meio de uma câmera acoplada a uma impressora, para determinação da presença ou não de remanescente obturador. Como resultado, obteve-se uma remoção incompleta do material obturador de todos os espécimes, e com relação ao tempo houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre o grupo obturado com McSpadden e os demais grupos. Conclui-se que os instrumentos ProTaper testados mostraram-se rápidos para atingir o comprimentode trabalho durante o retratamento, entretanto devem ser complementados por outra técnica de retratamento.

ABSTRACT

A doença periodontal é caracterizada pela migração do epitélio juncional em direção apical a raiz com subseqüente perda de fibras do ligamento periodontal e reabsorção do osso alveolar. Drogas antinflamatórias não esteróides (AINES) podem controlar a doença periodontal modulando os mecanismos de resposta inflamatória do hospedeiro. Este estudo avaliou o efeito dos AINES na perda óssea alveolar induzida por ligadura em ratos, através da avaliação radiográfica. A periodontite foi induzida em 50 ratos machos adultos pela colocação de ligaduras de seda ao redor do primeiro molar inferior. Trinta animais (10 por grupos) após 7 dias da colocação das ligaduras receberam durante 31 dias (Período 1) por via subcutânea: solução salina - G1, Cetoprofeno - G2(12 mg/kg) e meoxicam - G3(3 mg/kg). Os outros 20 ratos (10 por grupo) após 18 dias da colocação das ligaduras receberam durante 20 dias (Período 2) as mesmas drogas antinflamatórias em dosagem iguaisas acima descritas. Decorridos 38 dia, todos os animais foram sacrificados, suas mandíbulas removidas e radiografias foram tomadas e subseqüentemente digitalizadas. Medidas da perda óssea alveolar na área de bifurcação foram realizadas e analisadas estatisticamente pelo teste de ANOVA (p<0.05). Não houve diferença estatística comparando-se G1, G2, e G3 no período 1. Também não foi observado diferença estatísticas significante entre os diferentes períodos de aplicação para o cetoprofeno e o meloxicam. Concluindo-se que o cetoprofeno e o meloxicam não alteram a perda óssea alveolar na periodontite induzida por ligadura em ratos, na avaliação radiográfica.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo avaliou o efeito do polimento químico na rugosidade superficial de uma resina acrílica autopolimerizável convencional (TP, Clássico) e de uma termopolimerizável por microondas (MI, Ondacryl), produzidas por A.O. Clássico Ltda., Brasil. Foram confeccionados vinte espécimes discóides (30 mm diâmetro x 5,0 mm espessura) com cada uma das resinas, os quais foram (n=5) submetidos aos seguintes métodos de acabamento/polimento: CN (controle negativo, brocade carboneto de tunsgstênio Edenta 1513), CP (controle positivo, lixa d´agua 600 + pasta de pedra-pomes e branco de Espanha por 15 s cada), PQ1 (CN + imersão por 10 s em polidor químico Poli-Quim, A.O. Clássico Ltda., aquecido a 80 C) e PQ2 (idem a PQ1, porém aquecido a 65 C). Foram realizadas três mensurações de rugosidade em cada espécime. O teste de Kruskall-Wallis detectou diferenças significativas (p<0.05). O polimento mecânico (CN) diferiu dos demais métodos para as três resinas, promovendo a menor rugosidade. O método PQ1 forneceu rugosidade similar (material AU), superior (material TP) ou inferior (material MI) àquela de AM. O método PQ2 forneceu uma rugosidade superior (materiais Au e TP) e e inferior (material MI) comparado com AM. Os métodos PQ1 e PQ2 diferiram entre si apenas para a resina AU, observando-se uma maior valor para PQ2. Concluiu-se que o polimento químico foi mais efetivo quando aplicado à resina de microondas. O aquecimento do polidor químico a uma temperatura inferior à convencional não influenciou na efetividade do polimento químico, podendo assim, prevenir distorções do dispositivo a ser polido

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effect of intrinsic pigmentation on the transverse strength of a microwave-cured acrylic resin. Forty transverse strength specimens were fabricated according to ADA specification #12 and divided into 5 groups. No fibers were added to group I (GI, control group); acrylic stain (AS) was added to GII and GIII in concentrations of 0.5 and 1.5 percent w/w, respectively; acrylic fibers (AF) were added to groups GIV and GV in concentrations of 0.5 and 1.5 percent w/w, respectively. All specimens were irradiated in a microwave oven with a cycle of 3 min at 360 W, followed by 4 min resting, then 3 min at 810 W. Flasks were bench-cooled for 30 min at room temperature, followed by immersion in cold tap water for 30 min. After storage in distilled water at 37ºC for 48 h, all specimens were tested for flexural strength in a testing machine (EMIC-DL 500) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 cm/min. Mean and standard deviation (MPa) for the flexural strength test were: GI=86.0 ± 7.9; GII=86.0 ± 9.8; GIII=86.6 ± 7.7; GIV=84.9 ± 5.3; GV=84.9 ± 5.2. No statistical differences were detected among the groups (ANOVA, p>0.05). The addition of the acrylic fibers or the acrylic stain did not affect the transverse strength of the microwave-cured acrylic resin

ABSTRACT

A ruptura entre dentes de resina acrílica e sua base de prótese é um problema de grande freqüência na maioria dos laboratórios, e causa desconforto nos pacientes. Tendo em vista que a causa específica da falha desta união ainda não foi determinada, o objetivo do presente trabalho é comparar a retenção de dentes de resina acrílica com as resinas Lucitone 550 e Acron MC, segundo diferentes métodos de polimerização. Foram confeccionados 18 corpos-de-prova de acordo com a especificação número 15 da A.D.A., sendo sete em resina Lucitone 550, polimerizada em banho de água aquecida por 3 horas (Técnica modificada de Tuckfield); e 07 em resina Acron MC polimerizada em forno de microondas à 900 W durante 03 minutos. Em uma das extremidades dos corpos-de-prova foi prensado um dente de resina acrílica (Biotone, Dentsply). Os testes de tração foram realizados em Máquina de Ensaio Universal (Instron) com velocidade de 0,5mm/min. Os resultados indicaram que a força (Kg) média necessária para provocar a falha entre os dentes e a resina Lucitone 550 foi de 66,58 (± 19,93) e entre os dentes e a resina Acron MC foi de 51,73 (± 11,91); valores estes que submetidos ao teste t de Student para amostras pareadas não apresentaram diferenças significantes. Diante dos resultados, pode-se concluir que o método de polimerização não influenciou a resistência de união entre dentes artificiais e resina acrílica para base de prótese, no entanto as técnicas para realização deste tipo de teste devem ser reavaliadas

ABSTRACT

A clorexidina é um anti-séptico de largo espectro antimicrobiano. Dentre as variáveis indicaçöes da clorexidina na odontologia, uma delas, a aplicaçäo para limpeza de cavidades, merece atençäo especial, já que existem poucos relatos sobre a sua biocompatibilidade. Vinte ratos foram anestesiados e foram preparadas cavidades nos primeiros molares superiores. As polpas foram expostas e no primeiro molar do lado direito foi aplicada clorexidina 0,2 por cento antes que o dente fosse restaurado. No dente do lado esquerdo, a restauraçäo foi feita usando o sistema adesivo Scothbond MP e resina composta Z100. Foram feitos cortes seriados dos dentes, que foram corados como hematoxilina e eosina e pela técnica de Brown e Breen. Ambos os dentes apresentavam polpas necróticas, áreas de degeneraçäo pulpar e inflamaçäo. Com a evoluçäo dos períodos houve aumento da necrose. Concluiu-se, portanto, que a clorexidina näo influenciou negativamente no processo de reparaçäo pulpar e que, com ou sem contaminaçäo bacteriana, ocorreu necrose total do tecido pulpar
