As superfícies proximais de cento e trinta incisivos bovinos foram preparadas e divididas de acordo com a resina de baixa viscosidade (Filtek Z350 Flow - Z350F e SureFil®SDRTM Flow - SUR), espessura da resina de baixa viscosidade (0,5 mm, 1,0 mm ou 2,0 mm) e técnica restauradora (resina de baixa viscosidade aplicada na parede gengival, até o ângulo cavo-superfícial - CS; resina de baixa viscosidade aplicada na parede gengival, até a junção amelo-dentinária - JAD) (n=10). Um grupo controle foi realizado sem o uso de resina de baixa viscosidade. Após os procedimentos restauradores (resina microhíbrida Filtek Z250) e termociclagem, os dentes foram imersos em azul de metileno por 2 horas. As amostras foram trituradas e o pó foi preparado para a análise de absorbância em espectrofotometria. Os resultados foram lidos e interpretados através da análise estatística ANOVA (p=0,05) em esquema fatorial 2 x 3 x 2 com 1 tratamento adicional e teste de Tukey (p=0,05). A comparação com o grupo controle foi realizada pelo teste de Dunnett (p ?0,05). Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatística entre os compósitos de baixa viscosidade testados. Para SUR, não houve diferença estatística entre as técnicas restauradoras. Para Z350F, a técnica JAD apresentou menor infiltração marginal quando utilizou-se camada de 1,0 ou 2,0 mm de espessura. E para ambas as técnicas e compósitos de baixa viscosidade, 0,5 mm de espessura apresentou menor infiltração que 2,0 mm. Comparando com o grupo controle, Z350F (0,5 mm para técnica CS e JAD, e 1,0 mm para técnica JAD) e SUR (0,5 mm para a técnica JAD) apresentaram menor infiltração marginal. É possível concluir que o uso de menor espessura de resina de baixa viscosidade proporcionou menor infiltração marginal, sugerindo melhor selamento da interface dente restauração / Abstract: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage in Class II cavities, restored with dental composite, varying the thickness of two flowable composite resins and the restorative technique. One hundred and thirty cavities were prepared on proximal surfaces of bovine teeth, and were randomly divided according to the flowable composite resin (Filtek Z350 Flow - Z350F and SureFil®SDRTM Flow - SUR), thickness of flowable composite (0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mm) and restorative technique (flowable composite applied until cavosurface angle - CS; or flowable composite applied until amelo-dentinal junction - ADJ) (n=10). A control group was performed without using flowable composite. Following restorative procedures (microhibrid composite Filtek Z250) and the thermocycling, the samples were immersed in methylene blue for 2 hours. The samples were ground and the powder was prepared for analysis in an absorbance spectrophotometer. All results were statistically analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey test, and Dunnett test were applied to comparisons with control group (p?0.05). Results showed that there was no statistical difference between the flowable composite tested. For SUR, there is no statistical difference between the restorative techniques. For Z350F, the restorative technique ADJ showed lower microleakage than technique CS only when the flowable composite was applied to 1.0 and 2.0 mm thickness. And for both techniques and flowable composite resins, 0.5 mm sample thicknesses showed lower microleakage than 2.0 mm thickness. Comparing with the control group, the lower thickness of Z350F (0.5 mm for technique CS and 2 and 1.0 mm for JAD) and SUR (0.5 mm for technique ADJ) showed lower microleakage. It is possible to conclude that a lower thickness of flowable composite resin provided lower microleakage, suggesting better sealing tooth-restoration interface / Mestrado / Dentística / Mestre em Clínica Odontológica

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Recently, the concept of “bulk-fill” resin-based composites (RBCs) has been re-emphasized, with claimed improvements in depth of cure (DOC) with similar mechanical properties and comparable adaptation to walls and margins relative to conventional composite. More research is needed to carefully examine the properties of these new materials. The objective of this study was to measure the light energy, microhardness (VHN), and elastic modulus across the depth of one conventional and three bulk-fill RBCs. Materials and Methods: Three commercially available bulk-fill RBCs (Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill [TE], SonicFill [SF], X-tra fill[XF]) and one conventional RBC (Premise [PR]) were evaluated (n = 10). DOC (using Vickers’s microhardness), elastic modulus (using atomic force microscopy), and the mean irradiance and total light energy transmitted through different thicknesses of RBC were measured by a spectrometer. The effects of group, location, and curing depth on VHN were analyzed using mixed-model ANOVA. Elastic modulus and light energy comparisons were made using two-way ANOVA, with a significance level of 5 percent. Results: There was a significant difference in the depths for the mean irradiance and total energy between different depths in all materials. All materials achieved the manufacturers’ claimed DOC. XF had the highest DOC with 7 mm and a light energy of 0.56± 0.02 J/cm2 at 7 mm. PR had the lowest DOC with 3 mm and a light energy of 0.84 ±0.12 J/cm2 at 3 mm. The elastic modulus showed significant variation in depth profiles that were different than the DOC. Significance: The manufacturers’ claims for bulk-fill DOC were achieved using a microhardness method. However, this method failed to detect the quality of the polymerization. Assessment of the elastic modulus using AFM is a promising method for greater understanding of the polymerization.

In this prospective clinical trial we observed the 2-year clinical performance of posterior tooth-supported multi-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDP) fabricated from zirconia with monolithic occlusal surfaces. Fifty multi-unit FDPs were inserted in 50 patients. After two years of clinical service, 43 restorations were reexamined as one patient had died and six patients were not available for recall. Two biological (root canal treatment: 12 and 14 months) and one technical (debonding: 12 months) complications occurred. According to the Kaplan–Meier analysis, the success rate was 93.7%, and the survival rate was 100%. The six patients who were not available for regular 2-year follow-up were examined after the official 2-year recall interval, and none of the FDPs presented complications or failures. Within the limitations of the current study, the use of multi-unit FDPs with monolithic occlusal surfaces fabricated from zirconia can be recommended for short-term use in the posterior area.
