Foram confeccionadas vinte e oito réplicas de próteses totais sobre modelos maxilares com palato raso e vinte e oito réplicas para o palato profundo, idênticas quanto ao enceramento e posicionamento dos dentes. As próteses foram divididas em oito grupos com sete espécimes cada, de acordo com o tipo de resina utilizada, o material utilizado para inclusão em mufla e o tipo de palato. Foram demarcados pontos sobre os dentes que serviram de referência para as mensurações através do software AutoCAD 2005. As mensurações foram realizadas em dois estágios: após o enceramento das próteses e após a demuflagem (não separadas do modelo). Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as comparações ao teste de Tukey com probabilidade de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos estudados, porém quando a análise ocorreu num contexto geral, diferença estatisticamente significativa foi observada para as variáveis, formato de palato e material de inclusão. Baseado nos resultados pode-se concluir que: o formato do palato influencia nas alterações dos dentes artificiais; o palato profundo sofreu alterações dentais significantemente inferiores que o palato raso; as próteses incluídas com silicone apresentaram alterações significantemente superiores às incluídas com gesso; o tipo de resina utilizada não acarretou em alterações estatísticamente significantes entre si; a região posterior das próteses apresentou maiores alterações em relação à região anterior. / About the relationship between the palate depth and the changes in acrylic resins base-plate, this work investigate the teeth movement that occurs when the complete dentures were processed by different materials, techniques and its relation to the palatal form. Twenty eight samples of complete dentures in maxillary cast with shallow palate form and twenty eight with deep palate form were constructed for the study. The samples presented similarities in the artificial teeth position. This prosthesis were divided in eight groups with seven specimens each, in agreement with the resin type for inclusion, the type of material used in the covering and the type of the palate depth. Points were demarcated on the teeth, which served as reference for the measurements of the segments (among the teeth), through software AutoCAD 2005. The measurements are accomplished in two moments: after the waxed and after the desflasking (not descasting). The results were submitted to the analysis of variance and comparisons to the Tukeyþs test with probability of 5%. The results showed no statistical significantly differences between the groups, but when the variables were study in global context difference were observed for the palatal form and covering materials. Based on the results conclude that: the palatal form influence on the changes of teeth position. The deep palate showed alterations significantly inferior that presented for the shallow palate. The silicon used for the covering results in greater alterations in relation to the stone mold. The type of resin not differs in the alterations of teeth position (not significantly). The change of teeth position was greater in the posterior region compares to the anterior region of the prosthesis.

Devido ao fato de as placas serem submetidas a diferentes tipos de forças por um longoperíodo no interior da cavidade bucal, estas podem fraturar-se ou desgastar-se com facilidade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar e comparar, por meio de ensaio de resistência à flexão e teste de microdureza Knoop, o comportamento das resinas acrílicas térmica e quimicamente ativadas utilizadas na confecção de placas interoclusais, variando-se as técnicas de confecção e processamento. Para tanto, foram confeccionados 60 espécimes divididos em seis grupos (GI, GII, GIII, GIV, GV, GVI), de acordo com o tipo de resina e técnica de processamento utilizadas. Os grupos GI e GII utilizaram resina acrílica termopolimerizável convencional (Clássico), sendo o GI polimerizado em banho de água quente e o GII pela energia de microondas. Para os grupos GIII, GIV, GV e GVI, utilizou-se resina acrílica autopolimerizável (Jet) e as seguintes técnicas de processamento: GIII) polimerização em condição ambiente (23 l 2oC), GIV) sob pressão de 2kgf/cm2 e água a 40°C, GV) sob a mesma pressão e temperatura a seco e GVI) associação de placa de acetato e polimerização em água a 40°C. Após ensaio de flexão, os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância, complementada pelo teste de Tukey (a = 0,05). Para os valores de microdureza, estes foram submetidos ao teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis (a = 0,05). Verificou-se que GII e GIII apresentaram, respectivamente, os maiores e menores valores de resistência à flexão em relação aos demais grupos. GI e GII apresentaram valores semelhantes de resistência à flexão (p > 0,05). GIV, V e VI não apresentaram diferença significante entre si (p > 0,05), porém foram estatisticamente superiores ao GIII (p < 0,05). / The occlusal splints can be fabricated by many techniques and the acrylic resin is the main material used for this propose. The splints can be easily facture or worn because they are subjected to different kinds of forces during a long period in the oral cavity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength and Knoop microhardness of a conventional heat-polymerized and an autopolymerized acrylic resin used to fabricate occlusal splints, varying the processing laboratorial techniques. Sixty specimens were manufactured and divided in 6 groups (GI, GII, GIII, GIV, GV, GVI) according to the type of the resin and the processing technique used. GI and GII were manufactured with conventional heatpolymerized acrylic resin (Clássico). GI was hot-water-bath polymerized and GII was microwave polymerized. GIII, GIV and GV specimens were fabricated using an autopolymerized acrylic resin (Jet). GIII was polymerized in air condition (23 l 2oC), GIV under 2kgf/cm2 pressure and in water at 40°C, and GV under the same pressure and temperature at dry condition. The GVI specimens were manufactured using autopolymerized acrylic resin and acetate sheet, polymerized in water at 40°C. The resin specimens were broken using a 3-point load on a testing machine. A ANOVA and Tukey test were performed to identify significant differences (a = .05). Knoop microhardness values were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test (a = .05). GII and GIII showed, respectively, the highest and the lowest significantly values of strength comparing with the other groups. GI and GII, manufactured with conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin showed similar strength (p > .05). GIV, V e VI showed similar values between them, however they were stronger than GIII (p < .05). GII showed the highest significantly values of microhardness even when compared to GI.

Sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivos: 1) avaliar in vitro a eficácia de formulações à base do extrato de citronela (CN) em biofilmes monoespécie em formação e formado, sobre amostras de resina acrílica ativada termicamente (RAAT) e liga de níquel-cromo (LNC), contaminadas por S. aureus e C. albicans, simulando uma prótese protocolo em meio bucal, em comparação com dois enxaguatórios comerciais sem etanol (LT - Listerine Zero e CHX - Periogard sem etanol); 2) avaliar in vitro a citotoxicidade das soluções em células epiteliais HaCat, simulando o contato com os enxaguatórios por 1 min; 3) avaliar, in vitro, o efeito de enxaguatórios bucais comerciais e da solução teste à base do óleo de CN a 10,9%, na alteração de rugosidade e cor de materiais utilizados na confecção de prótese tipo protocolo, sendo eles: duas marcas de dentes artificiais (DA - Trilux e Vivodent), RAAT e LNC. A alteração de cor da LNC não foi avaliada. Para o primeiro objetivo, após a obtenção da concentração bactericida/fungicida mínima (CBM/CFM) da CN contra S. aureus e C. albicans, foram confeccionadas amostras de RAAT e LNC.

The antimicrobial effectiveness and cytotoxicity of some commercially available mouthrinses are still questioned, making phytotherapy an alternative to be researched. Therefore, this study aimed: 1) to evaluate in vitro the efficacy of formulations based on the citronella extract (CN) in monospecific biofilms, in formation and formed, on samples of thermally activated acrylic resin (RAAT) and nickel-chromium (LNC), contamineted by S. aureus and C. albicans, simulating a protocol prosthesis in buccal medium, compared to two alcohol free commercial mouthrinses (LT - Listerine Zero and CHX - Periogard alcohol free); 2) to evaluate in vitro the cytotoxicity of solutions in HaCat epithelial cells, simulating contact with the mouthrinses for 1 min; 3) to evaluate in vitro the effect of commercial mouthrinses and the test solution based on the extract of CN at 10.9%, in the alteration of roughness and color of materials used in the manufacturing of protocol type prosthesis; i.e. two tooth marks (DA - Trilux and Vivodent), RAAT and LNC. The color change of the LNC was not evaluated. For the first objective, samples were prepared after obtaining the minimum bactericidal / fungicidal concentration (CBM / CFM) of CN against S. aureus and C. albicans, RAAT and LNC. The CN's CBM / CFM was multiplied by 5x and 10x for the formulation of two mouthrinses. The surfaces of the samples with the biofilm in formation (4 h of adhesion) and formed (24 h) were subjected to the action of solutions based on CN, Periogard alcohol free (CHX) and Listerine Zero (LT). The simulation of mouthwashing was performed at two different moments; the first simulation after the time of adhesion of 4 h (biofilm in formation) and 24 h (formed biofilm), and the second...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Les propriétés des latex, produits aux larges applications industrielles, dépendent d’un grand nombre de facteurs : le type de monomère, les stabilisants, les initiateurs ou encore la taille des particules. Les procédés comme les formulations utilisés sont nombreux. La répartition des particules – taille moyenne, écart moyen, polydispersité – est souvent gérée par une étape de coagulation qui suit la nucléation, menée dans un post réacteur. La maîtrise de la coagulation nécessite un contrôle parfait du procédé. Ces travaux de thèse, réalisés dans le cadre de l’ANR SCALE-UP, ont pour objectif d’étudier la coagulation de latex acryliques dans un procédé continu de taille millimétrique opérant en régime laminaire. Les mécanismes de coagulation sont mis en évidence dans des conditions physico-chimiques et hydrodynamiques contrôlées, et l’influence des différents paramètres sur la cinétique de coagulation est quantifiée. Une méthodologie à l’interface de plusieurs domaines (génie des procédés, physico-chimie, numérique) est adoptée. Dans un premier temps, les bases essentielles à la compréhension du phénomène de coagulation sont introduites. Cette étude permet de distinguer deux types de coagulation : péricinétique (liée au mouvement Brownien), et orthocinétique (reliée au cisaillement). Les modèles associés sont présentés, et l’influence du procédé discutée. La déstabilisation des latex par coagulation Brownienne est ensuite examinée. Après avoir introduit les principales techniques analytiques existantes et caractérisé les latex étudiés, une étude physico-chimique est menée. Un modèle permettant d’estimer le temps de coagulation en fonction des conditions de pH, force ionique et concentration du milieu est proposé, basé sur des mesures de mobilité électrophorétiques. La troisième partie consiste en l’étude hydrodynamique par CFD de deux réacteurs millimétriques : un tube enroulé et un réacteur intensifié (Dean-Hex), comparés à un tube droit. Le régime visé est le régime laminaire. La coagulation orthocinétique dépendant des taux de cisaillement dans le réacteur, l’objectif est d’observer l’écoulement ainsi que les distributions de ces taux dans le réacteur, afin d’anticiper l’influence du changement de géométrie sur la coagulation. Des informations locales sur l’écoulement sont obtenues par suivi lagrangien de particules. La répartition des taux de cisaillement comme les temps passés dans les zones aux plus forts taux sont très différents selon le réacteur, laissant présager des résultats différents en termes de mécanismes de coagulation et de taille finale des agrégats. Le quatrième chapitre présente les résultats expérimentaux obtenus en milliréacteur. Un pilote a été développé, permettant la mise en écoulement des fluides par pressurisation de réservoirs. La coagulation de latex de trois tailles initiale différente y est menée. Les échantillons prélevés le long du réacteur sont analysés par diffraction laser (Mastersizer 2000). Outre les distributions de taille, des informations sur la dimension fractale des agrégats sont extraites. Dans le cas de réacteurs tubulaires enroulés, des résultats en fonction de la concentration, du pH et du débit sont obtenus, permettant de déterminer l’influence de ces paramètres sur la cinétique. Des informations sur l’équilibre agrégation-rupture sont également disponibles à partir des expériences réalisées sur un des latex. Le régime d’écoulement laminaire, impliquant un mode de collision balistique, permet d’obtenir des agrégats de forme pratiquement sphérique. Une discussion concernant les conditions de travail en milliréacteur est menée, afin de cerner l’applicabilité de ce procédé. Dans une dernière partie, une méthode d’estimation de noyaux cinétiques, par Quadrature des Moments est présentée et appliquée à des résultats obtenus en réacteur de Taylor-Couette. De par le contrôle de l’hydrodynamique qu’il propose, un tel réacteur est parfaitement adapté à cette application. / Due to their large applicability, latexes are widely used in industries. Their properties depend on many parameters including the monomer, stabilizers and initiators used, and also the particle size. The particle size distribution of these suspensions is often regulated by a coagulation step, occurring after nucleation in a reactor. Coagulation control thus means perfect process control. This thesis, led in the framework of the project ANR SCALE-UP, aims at studying acrylic latex coagulation in millimetric-scale reactors in laminar flow. Coagulation mechanisms are highlighted in controlled physico-chemical and hydrodynamic conditions, and the influence of the various parameters on coagulation kinetics is quantified. A scientific methodology based on chemical engineering, physical-chemistry and fluid mechanics is employed. The first part of the thesis aims at presenting the theoretical basis of this work, where by the differences between perikinetic coagulation (driven by Brownian motion) and orthokinetic coagulation (related to shear) are distinguished. Models related to coagulation and rupture of aggregates are presented. As the reactor geometry is expected to have a significant impact on coagulation due to its sensitivity to shear, the influence of the geometry is also discussed. The second part of the work focuses on the stability of latex, which is related to Brownian coagulation. The main analysis techniques related to the size determination of aggregates are firstly discussed and a complete characterization of the latex used is presented. A physical-chemical study is then performed, resulting in the proposition of a model that allows the calculation of a coagulation time as a function of the properties of the latex suspension, namely pH, concentration and ionic strength. The third part presents a CFD study of two millimetric-scale reactors – a coiled tube and a meandering channel (Dean-Hex) reactor – and compares them with a straight tubular reactor. This work aims at studying the flow properties and shear rates produced inside these reactors in order to better understand their influence on the coagulation process. At equal flow rates, the Dean-Hex reactor proposes a narrower shear rate distribution compared with the tubular geometries, however very high shear rates are also generated and these are likely to modify the particle size distribution by breaking the aggregates. The fourth part of the thesis details the experimental results of the latex coagulation process in the coiled tube. A pilot-scale set-up was designed and constructed allowing the reactant feeds to be regulated and product sampling at eight points such that coagulation could be monitored with residence time. Samples were analyzed using dynamic light scattering (Mastersizer 2000), which enable the fractal dimension of aggregates to be obtained. The results of aggregate growth as a function of pH, flowrate and latex concentration are presented and provide information on the aggregation kinetics. A more concentrated latex is used to gain insight on aggregation-rupture equilibrium. Considering the fractal dimension of the larger aggregates, the equilibrium size was found to linearly decrease with the average shear rate. Also, laminar flow was found to result in more spherical aggregates than what is obtained in a batch reactor due to the ballistic collision mode involved. A discussion on the effects of experimental conditions (concentration, pH and flow rates) and the limitations of millimetric-scale equipment for latex aggregation is initiated. The final part of the work aims at introducing a population balance model for the aggregation process using the Quadrature Method of Moments (QMOM) and results obtained in a Taylor-Couette reactor. This device offers good control of hydrodynamics and it istherefore well suited to the determination of aggregation and rupture kernels.

Percebe-se um interesse da indústria de fabricação de tintas na utilização de nanopartículas de prata devido às suas propriedades antimicrobianas. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se sintetizar e caracterizar soluções coloidais de nanopartículas de prata para ser um potencial aditivo antimicrobiano em tintas acrílicas à base d’água. No processo experimental, as nanopartículas de prata foram preparadas pela redução de íons de prata por boroidreto de sódio e estabilizada, utilizando citrato trissódico dihidrado. As caraterizações das nanopartículas de prata foram realizadas por espectroscopia de UV-Visível, microscopia eletrônica de transmissão e antibiograma contra bactérias Gram-positivas e Gram-negativas. Os espectros de UV-vis foram muito similares para as NPs Ag 18 ppm e para as NPs Ag 1000 ppm com os espectros de absorção na região de 400nm, que indica a presença de NPs Ag com forma esférica. Pela microscopia eletrônica de transmissão confirmou-se a presença das NPs Ag na forma esférica e observou-se a diferença de tamanho de partículas, sendo que para as NPs Ag a média foi de 7,32 nm e para NPs Ag 1000 ppm foi de 15,2 nm. O antibiograma demonstrou que as NPs Ag 18 ppm e de 1000 ppm apresentam atividade antibacteriana contra a bactéria Gram-negativa Escherichia coli e contra a bactéria Gram-positiva Staphylococcus aureus. No filme de tinta aplicado, avaliou-se a diferença de cor da tinta branca após a adição das NPs Ag, utilizando um espectrofotômetro e a perda de brilho após o ensaio de intemperismo acelerado sob radiação UV-B. Foi verificado que as NPs Ag não têm efeito sobre a perda de brilho do filme de tinta, porém induzem ao amarelamento do mesmo. Os resultados foram positivos para o ensaio de resistência a bactérias conforme a norma JIS Z 2801:2000 somente para as amostras de tinta acrílica à base d’água e verniz acrílico à base d’água com 100 ppm de NPs Ag. Para as amostras de tintas e vernizes com 3,6 ppm e 30 ppm de NPs Ag não houve efeito inibitório. Para o ensaio de resistência a fungos, segundo a norma ABNT NBR 14941, as tintas não apresentaram efeito inibitório satisfatório. / There is a particular interest of the paint manufacturing industry by using silver nanoparticles due its antimicrobial properties. This study has as objective to synthesize and characterize silver nanoparticles colloidal solutions as a potential antimicrobial additive in water-based acrylic paints. In the experimental process, the silver nanoparticles were prepared by reduction the silver ions by sodium borohydride and used trisodium citrate dihydrate as stabilizing agent. The characterizations of the silver nanoparticles were realized by spectroscopy in the infrared region, transmission electronic microscopy and Gram positive and Gram negative antibiograms. The UV-vis results were similar for the NPs Ag 18 ppm and NPs Ag 1000 ppm samples with the absorption spectra in the range of 400nm, which indicates the presence of de NPs Ag in a spherical format. By the transmission electron microscopy it was noted the presence of NPs Ag in a spherical format and differences in the particles sizes for NPs Ag (media of 7.32 nm) and for NPs Ag 1000 ppm (media of 15.2 nm) samples. The antibiogram test demonstrates that the 18 ppm and the 1000 ppm NPs Ag showed antibacterial activity against the Gram negative bacterium Escherichia coli and against the Gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. In the paint film, it was avaluated the difference of the white color after the incorporation of the NPs Ag using a spectrophotometer and the brightness lost after the UV-B accelerated weathering testing. It was noted that the NPs Ag had no effect in the brightness lost of the paint film; however inducing to the yellowing of the same. The results were positive for the bacterial resistances according to JIS Z 2801:2000 only for the water-based acrylic paints and varnish containing 100 ppm of NPs Ag. For the samples with 3,6 ppm and 30ppm it was not noted an inhibitory effect. Finally, for the fungal resistance according to ABNT NBR 14941 the paints do not showed satisfactory inhibitory effect.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi desenvolver um aparelho experimental de baixo custo para produção de água eletrolisada ácida (AEA) e verificar sua eficácia na desinfecção de resina acrílica termo polimerizável (RA). Além disso, verificou-se a influência da AEA nas seguintes propriedades da RA. Sorção, Solubilidade, Resistência Flexural, Microdureza Knoop e Rugosidade Superficial. A AEA foi produzida através do processo de eletrólise de uma solução de NaCl a 5% numa célula eletrolítica de dois compartimentos separados por uma membrana semipermeável. Foram utilizados eletrodos de grafite e a diferença de potencial aplicada entre eles foi de 30 V, gerada por um alimentador com capacidade máxima de corrente de 2 A. Após 20 minutos de eletrólise a solução anódica (AEA) apresentou os seguintes parâmetros: pH 3,0 e potencial de óxi-redução de 1150 mV. O tempo de imersão na solução para o ensaios de desinfecção bem como os de propriedades características da RA foi de 10 minutos. A AEA foi eficaz na desinfecção da RA pois os corpos desinfectados não provocaram a turvação dos meios de cultura. A imersão em AEA aumentou estatisticamente (p<0,05) a sorção e a solubilidade da resina acrílica, porém os valores permaneceram dentro dos parâmetros estabelecidos pela ISO 1567. As demais propriedades da resina ficaram inalteradas (p>0,05). / The aim of this research was to develop a low cost experimental apparatus able to produce Electrolyzed Acidic Water (EAW) and verify its efficacy for disinfection of a denture base acrylic resin (AR). It was also verified the influence of EAW on the following properties of AR: Sorption, Solubility, Flexural Strength, Knoop Hardness and Superficial Rugosity. EAW was produced through an electrolysis process of an aqueous NaCl solution (5%) in an electrolytic two chambers cell with a separation membrane between the chambers. Graphite electrodes were used and the potential difference between them was 30 V, provided by a power supply with maximum amperage capacity of 2 A. 20 minutes after the begging of the electrolysis process the anodic solution (EAW) showed the following parameters: pH 3.0 and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of 1150 mV. The immersion time in the solution for the disinfection test and also for the evaluation of AR properties was 10 min. EAW was able to disinfect AR as the infected specimens did not cause turbidity of the culture medium. Immersion in EAW increased the sorption and decreased the solubility of the AR in a statistically significant way (p<0.05) but it was within the range required by ISO 1567. All the other AR properties suffered no changes (p<0.05)

Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana de uma resina acrílica termopolimerizável para base protética combinada ao polímero antimicrobiano poli(2 tert-butilaminoetil) metacrilato (PTBAEMA) sobre formação de biofilme de Staphyloccocus aureus, Streptococcus mutans e Candida albicans. Trinta espécimes de formato circular foram confeccionados a partir da resina acrílica termopolimerizável (Lucitone 550) e divididos em três grupos de acordo com as diferentes concentrações de PTBAEMA 0, 10 e 25%. Os espécimes foram inoculados e incubados a 37ºC por 48h. Após esse período, cada espécimes foi transferido para tubos contendo solução salina. Em seguida, foram realizadas diluições seriadas da suspensão resultante e alíquotas dessas diluições foram semeados em placas de Petri e incubadas a 37ºC por 48h. Os dados obtidos foram transformados em log(UFC+1)/ml e analisados pelos testes de Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis (α=0,05). Os resultados demonstraram que o grupo contendo 25% de PTBAEMA inibiu completamente a formação de biofilme de S. aureus e S. mutans. Uma redução significativa na contagem de log(UFC+1)ml de S. aureus (P=0,001) e S. mutans (P=0,001) para o grupo contendo 10% de PTBAEMA foi observada quando comparada aos valores encontrados nos respectivos grupos controle.

Thus, the addition of a polymer with antimicrobial activity to the acrylic resin could inhibit biofilm growth on denture base. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of an acrylic resin combined with antimicrobial polymer poly (2-tertbutylaminoethyl) methacrylate (PTBAEMA) to inhibit biofilm formation of three species of microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans). Thirty discs of a heat-polymerized acrylic resin (Lucitone 550) were produced and divided into three groups, according to the concentration of PTBAEMA: 0% (control), 10% and 25%. The specimens were individually inoculated with appropriate media containing one of the tested microorganisms and incubated for 37ºC for 48h under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. After incubation, each specimen was transferred to sterile tube containing sterile distilled water. Replicate aliquots of resultant suspensions were plated at dilutions for 48h at 37ºC. After incubation, the mean microbial counts were expressed as log (CFU + 1)/mL and analyzed statistically with α=.05. The results showed that the group containing 25% of PTBAEMA completely inhibited biofilm formation of S. aureus and S. mutans. A significant reduction in count of log (CFU +1) ml of S. aureus (P=0.001) and S. mutans (P=0.001) was observed for the group containing 10% PTBAEMA when compared to respective control groups. For C. albicans, differences were not significant between groups containing PTBAEMA and control group (P=0.079).

Os resultados evidenciaram que as variações intra-orais tais como os estresses térmico e mecânico aumentaram a degradação e diminuíram a vida útil das bases de prótese intactas e reembasadas com o material reembasador TRFII. A desinfecção por microondas produziu uma contração significativa das bases de prótese intactas e aquelas reembasadas com os materiais NTL e K. A desinfecção por microondas não afetou os valores de força máxima de fratura das bases de prótese intactas ou reembasadas com diferentes materiais reembasadores; porém, os valores de energia de ruptura e deformação das bases de prótese reembasadas com TR e NTL foram significativamente reduzidas após os ciclos de desinfecção por microondas e armazenamento em água por 7 dias. / This study investigated the effect of relining, thermal stress, mechanical stress and microwave disinfection on the maximum fracture load, deflection at fracture, fracture energy and dimensional stability of intact denture bases and those relined with four autopolymerizing reline resins. Thermal and mechanical stresses adversely affect the strength of intact and/or relined denture bases; however, effects vary based upon the relining material used. Microwave disinfection produced increased shrinkage of intact specimens and those relined with New Truliner and Kooliner. The strength of the denture bases relined with New Truliner was not significantly affected by any of the experimental conditions, but comparing the control groups, New Truliner exhibited the lowest maximum fracture load values. The maximum fracture load of specimens was not affected by microwave disinfection. Microwave disinfection and water storage for 7 days decreased the deflection at fracture and fracture energy values of specimens relined with Tokuso Rebase Fast and New Truliner.

Foi avaliada também a resistência ao cisalhamento de corpos-de-prova reembasados com a resina L. Para cada material, 48 corpos-de-prova (50 mm diâmetro x 0.5 mm espessura) foram preparados, seguindo-se as recomendações dos fabricantes, utilizando-se uma matriz metálica circular com pontos de referência (A, B, C e D). Um projetor de perfil Nikon foi utilizado para mensurar a distância entre os pontos de referências (AB e CD) na matriz metálica e nos corpos-de-prova. Os corpos-de-prova foram divididos em 6 grupos (n=8) e as mensurações foram realizadas após as seguintes condições experimentais: G1- 2 ciclos de desinfecção química (corpos-de-prova imersos em solução de perborato de sódio a 3,8% aquecida a 50º C por 10 minutos); G2- 2 ciclos de desinfecção com microondas (corpos-de-prova imersos em 200 mL de água e irradiados com 650 W por 6 minutos); G3- 7 ciclos de desinfecção química; G4- 7 ciclos de desinfecção com microondas; C1- grupo controle 1- após a polimerização para as resinas de reembasamento e após imersão em água a 37° C por 48 + 2 horas para a resina de base; C2- grupo controle 2- corpos-de-prova imersos em água a 37° C por 7 dias. Para os grupos G3 e G4, os corpos-de-prova foram mantidos em água a 37° C entre os ciclos de desinfecção. As diferenças entre as mensurações realizadas nos corpos-de-prova e as da matriz foram calculadas e expressas em porcentagem de alteração dimensional linear. Para avaliar a resistência de união, foram confeccionados cilindros... / This study evaluated the effect of chemical and microwave disinfection on the linear dimensional change and the shear bond strength between one heat-polymerizing denture base acrylic resin (Lucitone 550-L) and four autopolymerizing reline resins (Kooliner- K, New Truliner-NT, Tokuso Rebase-TR, Ufi Gel Hard -UGH). Also, the shear bond strength of specimens relined with the denture base resin L was evaluated, for comparison. For each material, 48 disks (50 mm diameter and 0.5 mm thickness) were made by using a stainless steel split mold with reference points (A, B, C and D), following the manufacturers' instructions. A Nikon optical comparator was used to measure the distances between the reference points (AB and CD) on the stainless steel mold and on the specimens. Specimens were divided into 6 groups (n=8) and the measurements were made after the following conditions: G1- 2 cycles of chemical disinfection (specimens immersed in 3,8% sodium perborate solution at 50° C for 10 minutes); G2- 2 cycles of microwave disinfection (specimens immersed in 200 mL of water, and irradiated with 650 W for 6 min); G3- 7 cycles of chemical disinfection; G4- 7 cycles of microwave irradiation; G5- after polymerization for the reline resins and after the specimens had been stored in water at 37° C for 48 + 2 hours; G6- specimens immersed in water at 37° C for seven days. For the groups G3 and G4, the specimens were disinfected daily, and stored in water at 37° C between disinfection. The differences between the measurements made on the specimens and on the stainless steel mold were calculated and expressed as percentage of linear dimensional changes. To evaluate the bond strength, cylinders (20mm x 20mm) of the resin L were processed (in water at 70°C for 90 minutes, and 30 minutes at boiling temperature), according to the manufacturer's instructions ...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)
