RESUMO
Várias ligas têm sido utilizadas na confecção de restaurações protéticas nos últimos anos. Essas ligas apresentam na sua composição ouro, paládio, prata, níquel, cobalto, cromo e titânio; quando na cavidade bucal são passíveis de corrosão, a qual pode empobrecer a estética e comprometer as propriedades físicas e biológicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resistência a corrosão de duas ligas odontológicas, Ni-Cr e Ni-Cr-Ti em três tipos de colutórios bucais com diferentes ingredientes ativos: colutório I 0.5g/l de cloreto de cetilpiridíneo +0.05 de fluoreto de sódio; colutório II -0.05 de fluoreto de sódio + 0.03% de triclosan e colutório III 0.12% de diclonato de clorexidina. Curvas potenciodinâmicas foram realizadas por meio de potenciostato PAR283 e célula de vidro convencional de parede dupla para termostatização. Utilizou-se eletrodo de referência Ag/ AgCl, KClsat e auxiliar espiral de platina. A microestrutura das duas ligas foi observada por meio de microscopia ótica. Análise das curvas obtidas mostraram que a liga Ni-Cr foi menos reativa na presença de digluconato de clorexida a 0.12%, enquanto a liga Ni-Cr-Ti foi mais sensível para os outros dois tipos de colutório. Isto ocorreu, provavelmente, devido a presença de titânio na composição desta liga. Análise microestrutural revelou microsestrutura dendrítica na liga Ni-Cr e eutéticos na liga Ni-Cr-Ti
Several alloys have been used for prosthodontics restorations in the last years. These alloys have a number of metals that include gold, palladium, silver, nickel, cobalt, chromium and titanium and they are used in oral cavity undergo several corrosion. Corrosion can lead to poor esthetics, compromise of physical properties, or increased biological irritation. The objective of this study was evaluated corrosion resistance of two alloys Ni-Cr and Ni-Cr-Ti in three types of mouthwashes with different active ingredients: 0.5g/l cetylpyridinium chloride + 0.05% sodium fluoride, 0.05% sodium fluoride + 0.03% triclosan (with fluor) and 0.12% chlorohexidine digluconate. The potentiodynamic curves were performed by means of an EG&G PAR 283 potentiostat/galvanostat. The counter electrode was a platinum wire and reference electrode was an Ag/AgCl, KCl saturated. Before each experiment, working electrodes were mechanically polished with 600 and 1200 grade papers, rinsed with distilled water and dried in air. All experiments were carried out at 37.0oC in conventional three-compartment double wall glass cell containing mouthwashes. The microstructures of two alloys were observed in optical microscopy. Analysis of curves showed that Ni-Cr alloy was less reactive in the presence of 0.12% chlorohexidine digluconate while Ni-Cr-Ti alloy was more sensitive for others two types of mouthwashes (0.5g/l cetylpyridinium chloride + 0.05% sodium fluoride® and 0.05% sodium fluoride + 0.03% triclosan). This occurred probably due presence of titanium in this alloy. Microstructural analysis reveals the presence of dendritic and eutectic microstructures for NiCr and Ni-Cr-Ti, respectively

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of three commercial mouthwashes on the corrosion resistance of Ti-10Mo experimental alloy. Experiments were made at 37.0 +/- 0.5 degrees C in a conventional three-compartment double wall glass cell containing commercial mouthwashes. Three mouthwashes with different active ingredients were tested: (I) 0.05% sodium fluoride + 0.03% triclosan; (II) 0.5 g/l cetylpyridinium chloride + 0.05% sodium fluoride; (III) 0.12% chlorohexidine digluconate. The assessment of the individual effect of active ingredients was studied by using 0.05% sodium fluoride. Commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) was used as control. Microstructures from Ti-10Mo experimental alloy and CP Ti were also evaluated using optical microscopy. Ti-10Mo as-cast alloy shows the typical rapidly cooled dendrites microstructure (beta phase) while CP Ti has exhibited a metastable martensitic microstructure. Electrochemical behavior of dental materials here studied was more affected by mouthwash type than by Ti alloy composition or microstructure. In both alloys passivation phenomenon was observed. This process may be mainly related to Ti oxides or other Ti species present in spontaneously formed film. Small differences in passive current densities values may be connected with changes in film porosity and thickness. Protective characteristics of this passive film are lower in 0.05% sodium fluoride + 0.03% triclosan mouthwash than in the other two mouthwashes tested.
