Resumo: Foi avaliado a morfologia de preparos cavitários realizados com o sistema CVDentus® variando-se a potência do ultra-som. As cavidades foram preparadas com a ponta cilíndrica modelo 8.2142, na face vestibular de 15 incisivos bovinos, que foram divididos em 3 grupos: G1 utilizando a potência II do aparelho de ultra-som, G2 a potência III e G3 potência IV do mesmo aparelho, na máquina padronizadora de preparos cavitários durante 1 minuto para cada preparo. Após, os preparos foram seccionados ao meio obtendo-se duas hemi-faces com seus perfis, que foi observado em Lupa Estereoscópica e medidos por meio do programa Leica Qwin. De acordo com os testes estatísticos Kruskal-Wallis e método de Dunn, houve diferença entre a largura e a profundidade dos preparos somente quando comparados às potências III e IV do aparelho de ultrasom, e que a largura da cavidade realizada pela potência III é a mais semelhante ao diâmetro real da ponta. Concluiu-se que a potência III indicada pelo fabricante é de fato a mais apropriada para o uso na clínica diária, pois possibilita a realização de preparos conservadores. / Abstract: This study has evaluated the shape of dental cavities made by CVDentus® system with ultrasound potency variation. The cavities have been made on buccal face of 15 bovine incisors with acylindrical bur (82142). The sample have been divided into three groups: G1, using ultrasound power II; G2, using power II, and G3, using power IV with a standard device. The cavities have been sliced in the middle, allowing thereby the cavity's profile observation with magnifying glasses, and measurement with a Leica Qwin program. The Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn statistical analysis has shown differences between dental cavities shapes when power III and IV were used. However, the cavities who have been made with power III were similar to bur dimension. Therefore, we conclude that the manufacturer indication to use power III is more suitable to clinical use because it allows more conservative cavity preparation. / Orientador: Cyneu Aguiar Pansani / Coorientador: Rita de Cassia Loiola Cordeiro / Banca: Evaldo José Corat / Banca: Silvio Issáo Myaki / Mestre

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The investigation was undertaken to determine the effects of the polishing and finishing of dental amalgam in relation to its marginal breakdown. The study was also conducted to make a clinical comparison of the marginal integrity of Dispersalloy restorations as compared to Twentieth Century Fine Cut Alloy restorations in both the polished and unpolished state. Forty patients with a total of 131 Class I amalgam restorations were used as the study group. The two alloy systems and polish or unpolish techniques were selected from a random table. Photographic evaluation of the restorations was used to judge the degree of marginal breakdown. The results of the study at the one-year evaluation show two main findings: (1) the Dispersalloy restorations showed less marginal breakdown than the Twentieth Century Fine Cut Alloy restorations, and (2) there was no significant difference between the polished and unpolished restorations overall.
