Introduction:Smile aesthetics is an aspect valued by today's society, which demands that dental professionals are up to date on dental materials and new techniques to achieve high-quality restorative aesthetic results. Composite resin is often used to simplify oral rehabilitation, as it offers dental veneers which combine excellent aesthetics and durability. Objective:This article aims to report a clinical case of aesthetic rehabilitation using composite resin veneers with diastema closure. Case report:A24-year-old female patient came to the dental school clinic with dissatisfaction regarding the aesthetics of her smile. The patient had diastemas, defective restoration and disproportionate anterior teeth size. The treatment consisted of prior at-home tooth bleaching, followed by creating direct composite resin veneers to close the diastemas and correct tooth disproportion. An Aesthetic Jig and the Digital Smile Design (DSD) software program were used for planning, in addition to a mock-up in bisacrylic resin. After treatment, a satisfactory final aesthetic result was obtained. The case included a total of eight veneers, from teeth 14 to 24. Conclusion:Treatment using composite resin restorations provided the patient with aesthetic, functional and biological rehabilitation (AU).

Factors affecting the color stability and staining of esthetic restorations.

This study aimed to assess the color stability of two composite resins, unprotected or protected with a hydrosoluble gel (oxygen inhibitor) during final polymerization, when subjected to different staining solutions and daily tooth brushing simulation. Nanohybrid composite (IPS Empress Direct) or nanofilled composite (Filtek Z350) were used to produce round samples that were either unprotected or protected with a hydrosoluble gel before the final cycle of polymerization. For 5 days, the samples were immersed for 1 h/day in four different staining solutions: distilled water (control), coffee, soft drink, and red wine. Once a day, the samples were also subjected to mechanical brushing with soft-bristled brushes for 30 min. The combination of experimental conditions produced 16 groups (n = 10). Color changes (ΔE) were evaluated at baseline and after mechanical brushing cycles for 1, 3, and 5 days. Data were analyzed by linear regression models. Protection with hydrosoluble gel was able to significantly reduce the color change only on the first day (p = 0.001). The type of composite resin did not significantly affect the color change over the days. Wine affected composite resin color change only on the first day (p = 0.002). Over time, color stability of composite resins did not improve with the protection of a hydrosoluble gel before the final polymerization.

Restauração em dente posterior com resina de baixa contração: relato de caso clínico / Restoration in posterior tooth with a low-shrinkage composite resin: clinical case report

A contração de polimerização ainda é um grande inconveniente dos materiais restauradores adesivos diretos. Com o objetivo de minimizar esse problema, foram introduzidas no mercado resinas de baixa contração. Uma delas é a resina à base de silorano, que combina as vantagens do silorano, o qual lhe confere hidrofobicidade, e o oxirano, que resulta em baixa contração volumétrica. Assim, por suas boas propriedades mecânicas e baixa contração volumétrica, ela é indicada para restaurações em dentes posteriores. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar o caso clínico de uma restauração de classe I realizada com resina de baixa contração à base de silorano.

Polymerization shrinkage is a major drawback of direct restorative materials. In order to minimize this problem, low-shrinkage composite resins were introduced. Silorane-based composites combine the advantages of the silorane, which conveys hydrophobicity, and oxirane which results in low volumetric shrinkage. They are indicated for restorations in posterior teeth due to their suitable mechanical properties and low shrinkage. The aim of this paper is to present a clinical case of a Class I restoration performed with low shrinkage silorane-based composite resin.

Influence of Different Mechanisms of Fluoride Release from Adhesive Systems

The objective of this study was to evaluate in vitro the time-dependent fluoride (F) release from three adhesive systems: Clearfil Protect Bond (CPB - Kuraray), FL Bond II (FLB- Shofu) and Adper Single Bond 2 (SB2 - 3M ESPE) (negative control). CPB and FLB are fluoride containing adhesives that use different F releasing mechanisms. The tested hypothesis was that the F releasing mechanism influences the amount of released F in water. Disc-shaped specimens (5 mm × 3 mm) were fabricated using a plastic matrix (Demetron Research Corp). Three specimens were produced for each material and each period of evaluation (1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days) (n=3). Subsequently, the specimens were stored in 10 mL distilled water at 37° C until the analyses were done using a liquid membrane for selective F ion electrode (Orion 710). Four readings were performed on the first day and the remaining evaluation times had one reading/day. Results were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). CPB released the greatest amount of fluoride in all evaluated periods with the greatest value at 6th h (0.183 ppm) thereafter decreasing gradually up to the 7th day when it significantly increased again until the 21st day. In most measurements, FLB showed similar mean fluoride release values as SB2. Therefore, the fluoride release mechanism influenced the amount of fluoride released in water, confirming the study hypothesis.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, in vitro, a liberação de flúor (F), ao longo do tempo, de três sistemas adesivos: Clearfil Protect Bond (CPB-Kuraray), FL Bond II (FLB-Shofu), Adper Single Bond 2 (SB2-3M ESPE) (controle negativo). Os sistemas adesivos CPB e FLB contêm flúor em sua composição e liberam F por diferentes mecanismos. A hipótese testada foi a de que o mecanismo de liberação de F influencia a quantidade de F liberado em água. Foram confeccionados espécimes em forma de discos (5 mm × 3 mm) utilizando uma matriz de plástico (Demetron Research Corp). Foram produzidas 3 amostras para cada um dos materiais, para cada período de avaliação (n=3) (1, 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias). Subsequentemente, as amostras foram armazenadas em 10 mL de água destilada a 37 °C até o momento das leituras que foram feitas usando uma membrana líquida para eletrodo seletivo de íons F (Orion 710). Foram realizadas quatro leituras no primeiro dia; após foi feita uma leitura/dia. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA e teste de Tukey (α=0,05). O sistema adesivo CPB liberou a maior quantidade de flúor em todos os períodos avaliados, com o maior valor em 6 H (0,183 ppm), então ela diminuiu gradualmente até o sétimo dia, quando aumentou significativamente até o dia 21. Na maioria das análises realizadas, FLB mostrou valores de liberação de flúor semelhantes aos de SB2. Portanto, o mecanismo de liberação de flúor influenciou a quantidade de fluoreto de liberado em água, confirmando a hipótese do estudo.

Fluoride release from restorative materials.

The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro fluoride (F) release from 4 restorative materials (3M ESPE): Ketak Molar Easymix [KME - conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC)]; Rely-X luting 2 [RL2 - resin-modified GIC (RMGIC)]; Vitremer (VIT- RMGIC); and Filtek Z250 [Z250 - negative control]. Disc-shaped specimens were fabricated according to the manufacturer's instructions and placed into 10 mL of reverse osmosis water at 37°C until the analyses were done using a liquid membrane for selective F ion electrode (Orion 710). F release was evaluated every 6 h in the first day and thereafter daily during 28 days (d). The results were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Mean F release and standard deviation values (in ppm) were: KME: 6 h- 0.34 ± 0.04; 24 h- 1.22 ± 0.30; 7 d- 0.29 ± 0.09; 14 d- 0.20 ± 0.04; 28 d- 0.16 ± 0.01; RL2: 6 h- 2.46 ± 0.48; 24 h-12.33 ± 2.93; 7 d- 1.37 ± 0.38; 14 d- 0.80 ± 0.13; 28 d- 0.80 ± 0.21; VIT: 6 h- 0.98 ± 0.35; 24 h- 4.35 ± 1.22; 7 d- 0.66 ± 0.23; 14 d- 0.40 ± 0.07; 28 d- 0.39 ± 0.08; Z250: 6 h- 0.029 ± 0.001; 24 h- 0.024 ± 0.009; 7 d- 0.023 ± 0.004; 14 d- 0.025 ± 0.001; 28 d- 0.028 ± 0.001. RL2 RMGIC released more F than the other materials in all periods. The greatest release of F occurred in the first 24 h.
