Resistência de união de primers/silanos em superfície de cêramica vítrea / Novel silane/primers bond strength in glass ceramics surface

Objetivo: investigar a resistência de união por cisalhamento de diferentes soluções contendo silano e primer na superfície de Dissilicato de Lítio (IPS e.maxCAD, Ivoclar-Vivadent). Metodologia: 78 blocos cerâmicos foram incluídos em resina acrílica, polidos e lavados em ultra-som por 10 minutos. Os espécimes foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com tratamento de superfície: Superfície Polida (PS); Ácido Hidro-Fluorídrico 9,5% - 20s (HF). Cada grupo foi dividido em três subgrupos (n = 13), de acordo com o tipo de silano: silano tradicional (Porcelain Prime, Inc. Bisco); mistura de silano e resina (KerrSilane, Kerr); mistura de silano e adesivo universal (Single-bond Universal, 3M Espe). Os espécimes foram montados em um dispositivo padrão para teste de cisalhamento (UltradentBonding Assembly), cimentados com cimento resinoso dual (Duolink Universal™, Bisco Inc.) e foto-polimerizados por 20s. As amostras foram testadas após 24 horas e 90 dias de armazenamento em água destilada a 47°C. Os dados foram analisados por 2-Way Anova e Teste de Tukey (α=5%). Resultados: em geral, os valores de resistência adesiva do silano tradicional foram, estatisticamente, mais elevados do que os outros tipos de silanos. O armazenamento afetou, significativamente, a força de adesão para a maioria dos grupos (p <0,001). O grupo PS apresentou menores valores de resistência adesiva, independentemente da variável (silano vs armazenamento). Conclusões: adequada resistência adesiva pode ser obtida com silanos tradicionais após o pré-tratamento de superfície com ácido HF

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of "new silanes / primer" in the Lithium Disilicate surface (IPS e.maxCAD, IvoclarVivadent-) by means of adhesive shear bond strength test. Methodology: A total of 78 ceramic blocks were embedded in acrylic resin, polished and washed in ultrasound for 10 minutes. The specimens were divided into two groups according to surface treatment: Polished Surface (PS); Hydrofluoric acid 9,5% - 20s (HF). Each group was divided into three sub-groups (n = 13) according to the type of silane used: traditional silane (Porcelain Prime Bisco, Inc.); mixture of silane and resin (Kerr Silane, Kerr); mixture of silane and universal adhesive (Single-bond Universal, 3M Espe). The specimens were mounted on a standard device for shear test (Ultradent Bonding Assembly), cemented with dual resin cement (Duolink Universal ™, Bisco Inc.) and photo-polymerised for 20s. The samples were tested after 24 hours and 90 days of storage in distilled water at 47°C. Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA and Tukey Test (α = 5%). Results: In general, the adhesive strength value of traditional silanewas significantly higher than other types of silanes. The storage significantly affects the bond strength (bond) for most groups (p <0.001). The PS group showed lower bond strength values, independent of the variable (silane vs. storage). Conclusions: Suitable adhesive strength can be obtained with traditional silanes, combined with the pre-treatment surface with HF acid.

Impact of Solvent Evaporation and Curing Protocol on Degree of Conversion of Etch-and-Rinse and Multimode Adhesives Systems.

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effect of air-drying time and light-curing time on the degree of conversion (DC) of three etch-and-rinse adhesive systems: ONE-STEP (OS) and ONE-STEP plus (OSP), Ambar (AMB), and two multimode adhesive systems: All-Bond Universal (ABU) and ScotchBond Universal (SBU) by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The DC of each adhesive system was analyzed with six experimental different protocols: (1) immediate light curing for 10 s without solvent volatilization; (2) 10 s solvent volatilization with air stream plus 10 s light curing; (3) 60 s solvent volatilization with air stream plus 10 s light curing; (4) immediate light curing for 20 s without solvent volatilization; (5) 10 s solvent volatilization with air stream plus 20 s light curing; and (6) 60 s solvent volatilization with air stream plus 20 s light curing. FTIR spectra were obtained, and the DC was calculated by comparing the ratio of aliphatic/aromatic double carbon bonds before and after light activation (Bluephase 20i). The DC means were analyzed by three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Three-way ANOVA showed statistically significant adhesive, air-drying, and light-cured time (p < 0.001). In general, there was a trend of increased DC when the adhesives were dried and cured for longer times, but that was not observed for all the adhesives tested. The acetone-based adhesive systems require an air-drying prior to light activation. The light-curing time of 20 s increases the DC of all materials tested. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that the DC of the adhesive systems tested was material dependent. In general, the protocol with solvent evaporation for 10 seconds with air syringe plus 20 seconds of light curing finds the high values of DC.

Influence of curing protocol and ceramic composition on the degree of conversion of resin cement.

OBJECTIVE: Due to increasing of aesthetic demand, ceramic crowns are widely used in different situations. However, to obtain long-term prognosis of restorations, a good conversion of resin cement is necessary. To evaluate the degree of conversion (DC) of one light-cure and two dual-cure resin cements under a simulated clinical cementation of ceramic crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prepared teeth were randomly split according to the ceramic's material, resin cement and curing protocol. The crowns were cemented as per manufacturer's directions and photoactivated either from occlusal suface only for 60 s; or from the buccal, occlusal and lingual surfaces, with an exposure time of 20 s on each aspect. After cementation, the specimens were stored in deionized water at 37°C for 7 days. Specimens were transversally sectioned from occlusal to cervical surfaces and the DC was determined along the cement line with three measurements taken and averaged from the buccal, lingual and approximal aspects using micro-Raman spectroscopy (Alpha 300R/WITec®). Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey test at =5%. RESULTS: Statistical analysis showed significant differences among cements, curing protocols and ceramic type (p<0.001). The curing protocol 3x20 resulted in higher DC for all tested conditions; lower DC was observed for Zr ceramic crowns; Duolink resin cement culminated in higher DC regardless ceramic composition and curing protocol. CONCLUSION: The DC of resin cement layers was dependent on the curing protocol and type of ceramic.

Conceito all-on-four em maxila atrófica ­ análise pelo método dos elementos finitos 3D (3D-MEF) / All-on-four concept for atrophic maxillae ­ 3D finite element analisys (3D-FEA)

Objetivo: avaliar o comportamento biomecânico de uma prótese fixa com quatro implantes unidos em uma maxila edêntula atrófica, pelo método dos elementos finitos (MEF). Material e métodos: em uma mandíbula totalmente desdentada, foram colocados dois implantes posteriores, inclinados, seguindo a parede anterior do seio maxilar, e dois implantes paralelos na região anterior. Estes quatro implantes foram ligados por uma barra rígida simulando uma prótese fixa, com ou sem extensão distal de 10 mm. As análises foram feitas variando a intensidade do carregamento (100 N, 50 N e 25 N), a direção de aplicação (axial e não axial), bem como a presença ou ausência de cortical em volta dos implantes, simulando carga tardia e carga imediata, respectivamente. Resultados: os resultados mostraram não haver diferenças em relação à presença ou ausência da lâmina dura. A presença da extensão distal na prótese fixa (cantiléver) aumentou significativamente a quantidade de tensão (156,6 MPa), comparado ao modelo sem a extensão distal (52 MPa). Conclusão: a presença do cantiléver em prótese na maxila pelo conceito all-on-four sofre uma deformação em toda a prótese três vezes maior do que na sua ausência. Próteses fixas implantossuportadas imediatas e/ou mediatas mostraram comportamentos semelhantes, quando unidas por uma estrutura rígida.

Objective: to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of a fixed prosthesis over 4 dental implants splinted in the edentulous maxilla using the finite element analysis (FEA). Material and Methods: using a completely edentulous maxillary model, two inclined posterior implants were placed following the maxillary sinus wall, whereas two anterior implants were parallel to each other. A rigid bar was designed to connect these four implants, simulating a fixed prosthesis with a 10 mm distal extension. The analyses were made varying the load intensities (100 N, 50 N, and 25 N), load direction (axial, non-axial), to simulate delayed and immediate loading protocols, respectively. Results: no differences were seen for the presence (delayed) or absence (immediate) of lamina dura. The presence of cantilever (distal extension) significantly increased the amount of maximum tension (156.6 MPa) when compared with models without cantilever (52 MPa). Conclusion: the cantilever extension in the all-on-four concept has a deformation three times higher than in the lack of it. Immediate/mediate implant-supported fixed prostheses demonstrated similar behavior when splinted by a rigid bar type.

Accidental ingestion of an inter-occlusal device used for the restoration of occlusion: a case report.

The accidental swallowing of prosthetic devices has been discussed in the relevant literature as an unusual, although ordinary, event in clinical practice. This article aims at reporting the ingestion of an inter-occlusal device used to restore the Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) which, during the ingestion of an analgesic pill, was accidentally swallowed. The patient was sent to the Clinics Hospital UFMG where, upon taking radiographs, the device was located in the upper third of the esophagus. The device was removed during an endoscopic exam with the help of forceps for removing foreign objects. Dealing with a relevant situation, one may conclude that patients who use removable intra-oral devices must take part in a reevaluation protocol in order to detect adaptation and retention of these devices, as well as proper instruction for the patient.

Effects of coronal substrates and water storage on the microhardness of a resin cement used for luting ceramic crowns.

UNLABELLED: Composite resin and metallic posts are the materials most employed for reconstruction of teeth presenting partial or total destruction of crowns. Resin-based cements have been widely used for cementation of ceramic crowns. The success of cementation depends on the achievement of adequate cement curing. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the microhardness of Variolink® II (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein), used for cementing ceramic crowns onto three different coronal substrate preparations (dentin, metal, and composite resin), after 7 days and 3 months of water storage. The evaluation was performed along the cement line in the cervical, medium and occlusal thirds on the buccal and lingual aspects, and on the occlusal surface. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty molars were distributed in three groups (N=10) according to the type of coronal substrate: Group D- the prepared surfaces were kept in dentin; Groups M (metal) and R (resin)- the crowns were sectioned at the level of the cementoenamel junction and restored with metallic cast posts or resin build-up cores, respectively. The crowns were fabricated in ceramic IPS e.max® Press (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and luted with Variolink II. After 7 days of water storage, 5 specimens of each group were sectioned in buccolingual direction for microhardness measurements. The other specimens (N=5) were kept stored in deionized water at 37ºC for three months, followed by sectioning and microhardness measurements. RESULTS: Data were first analyzed by three-way ANOVA that did not reveal significant differences between thirds and occlusal surface (p=0.231). Two-way ANOVA showed significant effect of substrates (p<0.001) and the Tukey test revealed that microhardness was significantly lower when crowns were cemented on resin cores and tested after 7 days of water storage (p=0.007). CONCLUSION: The type of material employed for coronal reconstruction of preparations for prosthetic purposes may influence the cement properties.

Análise de tensões em prótese fixa dentoimplantossuportada com pilar intermediário / Stress analysis in tooth-implant-supported fixed prosthesis with pier abutment

Em algumas situações clínicas em que pacientes parcialmente edêntulos apresentam a indicação para prótese fixa de cinco elementos dentoimplantossuportada, o implante pode se tornar algumas vezes o pilar intermediário dessa prótese. Esse tipo de prótese deve ser feito com cautela, tendo em vista possíveis complicações biomecânicas, pelas diferenças de mobilidade entre dente e implante e pela diferença na absorção e na distribuição das cargas funcionais. O objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar, por meio do método dos elementos finitos (MEF), as tensões geradas em uma prótese fixa dentoimplantossuportada de cinco elementos, modelada pelo programa computacional Ansys Revisão 5.7, sendo composta por dois dentes como pilares terminais, dois pônticos e um implante como pilar intermediário unidos de forma rígida. Foi aplicada uma carga vertical com valor nominal de 100 Newtons (N), distribuída uniformemente nas superfícies oclusais dos dentes posteriores. Pôde-se observar em uma análise qualitativa que o maior deslocamento da prótese no sentido oclusogengival foi na região dos pônticos, com valor máximo de deslocamento de 6,4 micrometros (µm). A tensão equivalente de Von Mises SEQV foi de 77,4 Megapascal (MPa) notando uma distribuição de tensões semelhante por toda infraestrutura metálica, na região entre as coroas protéticas. Concluiu-se que a infraestrutura metálica rígida exerce papel fundamental na distribuição e absorção das tensões e no deslocamento do conjunto protético e o implante intermediário não atua como fulcro de uma alavanca Classe I.

In some clinical situations, partially edentulous patients can have indication for a five-element implant-supported prosthesis, with one of those implants being the pier abutment. This type of prosthesis should be constructed with caution, because of possible biomechanical uncertainties, due to different displacement behaviors and the distribution of the functional loads involved in the process. The aim of this work was to analyze by Finite Element Method (FEM) the global behavior of stresses and displacements involved in a tooth-implant-supported fixed prosthesis with five elements, having two teeth as terminal abutments, two bridges and an implant working as an intermediate abutment. The Ansys 5.7 program has been used as a computational tool. A nominal vertical load of 100 N has been applied, uniformly distributed, on the occlusive surfaces in the posterior teeth. It is possible to conclude, in a qualitative analysis, that the prosthesis showed a higher displacement in the occlusion-gingival direction of the bridges, with a value around 6,4 µm. The equivalent Von Misses stresses (SEQV) showed a maximum value of 77,4 MPa in the metallic bar among the prosthetic crowns. It can be concluded that the infra-structure has an important function in the distribution and absorption of stresses and displacements of the whole prosthetic set and the implant did not work as pier abutment.

Stress analysis of a fixed implant-supported denture by the finite element method (FEM) when varying the number of teeth used as abutments

OBJECTIVES: In some clinical situations, dentists come across partially edentulous patients, and it might be necessary to connect teeth to implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate a metal-ceramic fixed tooth/implant-supported denture with a straight segment, located in the posterior region of the maxilla, when varying the number of teeth used as abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A three-element fixed denture composed of one tooth and one implant (Model 1), and a four-element fixed denture composed of two teeth and one implant (Model 2) were modeled. A 100 N load was applied, distributed uniformly on the entire set, simulating functional mastication, for further analysis of the SEQV (Von Mises) principal stresses, which were compared with the flow limit of the materials. RESULTS: In a quantitative analysis, it may be observed that in the denture with one tooth, the maximum SEQV stress was 47.84 MPa, whereas for the denture with two teeth the maximum SEQV stress was 35.82 MPa, both located in the region between the pontic and the tooth. CONCLUSION: Lower stresses were observed in the denture with an additional tooth. Based on the flow limit of the materials, porcelain showed values below the limit of functional mastication.

Inter-relação odontologia restauradora e tecidos periodontais: revisão dos conceitos atuais / Relationship of restorative dentistry and periodontal tissues: a review of currents concepts

Restaurar dentes com lesões cariosas e/ou fraturas que se encontram muito próximas às margens gengivais. Para que a restauração possa ser confeccionada corretamente, é necessário que o CD conheça a biologia dos tecidos para relacioná-los corretamente com as margens das restaurações. Para isso, é necessário ter conhecimento básico das estruturas que envolvem os dentes (distâncias biológicas) e conhecimento de anatomia dental para que não sejam criados nichos que favoreçam o acúmulo de bactérias e perda do mecanismo homeostático. Dessa forma, esse artigo teve por objetivo discorrer de forma básica sobre conceitos e indicações no que se refere à integração dos tecidos periodontais com os procedimentos restauradores.

Abordagem multidisciplinar no tratamento de paciente protético periodontal / Multidisciplinary approach for periodontal-prosthesis patients: case report

Nos dias atuais, os cirurgiões-dentistas ainda enfrentam o dilema de se preservar dentes comprometidos periodontalmente a partir de abordagens terapêuticas regenerativas ou a substituição deles com implantes dentários. Em muitos casos, além da terapia periodontal voltada para a causa da patologia, torna-se, também, necessária a instalação de implantes, o que de certa forma auxilia a distribuição de pilares, melhorando os fatores biomecânicos. Esse trabalho teve por objetivo relatar um caso clínico de um paciente com doença periodontal generalizada onde, depois de um planejamento multidisciplinar, foi realizada uma reabilitação oral melhorando as condições estéticas e funcionais. Do presente estudo, podemos concluir que para a realização de trabalhos protéticos com prognósticos favoráveis, uma abordagem multidisciplinar deve ser conduzida

Nowadays, the dentists are still facing the dilemma of maintaining periodontally compromised teeth with regenerative therapeutic approaches or to replace them with dental implants. In many cases, in addition to periodontal therapy focused on the cause of the condition, it also becomes necessary to install implants that somehow help abutment distribution improving biomechanical factors. This paper aims to report a case of a patient with generalized periodontal disease that, after a multidisciplinary planning, received an oral rehabilitation improving her aesthetic and functional conditions. From this, one can conclude that favorable prognoses are gained from prosthetic reconstructions when a multidisciplinary approach is conducted

Efeito da temperatura dos moldes de silicones na precisão de troquéis de gessos dos tipos IV e V / Effect of the temperature of silicone impressions on the precision of type IV and V gypsum dies

As alterações dimensionais dos moldes de silicone podem decorrer das variações de temperatura inerentes ao procedimento de moldagem. Os moldes podem ser resfriados ao serem removidos da boca para a bancada de trabalho. Este estudo avaliou o efeito da temperatura dos moldes de silicones na precisão de troquéis de gessos tipos IV e V. Moldes elastoméricos padronizados foram vazados para produzir troquéis de gessos dos tipos IV e V. Os moldes (n=10) foram confeccionados com silicones Adsil® Vigodent, Express®3M Espe, Zeta Plus® e Oranwash® L Zhermack, pela técnica de dupla moldagem, à temperatura de 35ºC e armazenados a 22ºC. Um grupo recebeu vazamento de gessos tipos IV e V à temperatura de 22ºC, enquanto no outro grupo os moldes foram reaquecidos a 35ºC e vazados com os mesmos gessos. A dimensão da largura dos corpos-de-prova foi medida em milímetros, usando microscópio comparador digital (Mitutoyo).As médias de cada grupo foram comparadas pelos testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney. Foi observado efeito significativo do material de moldagem, quando o vazamento foi feito com gesso tipo IV, a 22ºC (p<0,001)e a 35ºC (p=0,003). Os efeitos do tipo de gesso e da temperatura foram significativos para todos os materiais estudados (p<0,001). A técnica de reaquecimento de moldes produziu modelos de gesso tipo IV com dimensões similares àqueles obtidos de moldes vazados com gesso do tipo V, à temperatura ambiente.
