As variáveis de resposta foram: rugosidade superficial, luminosidade, morfologia, textura e sensibilidade. Fizeram parte dessa pesquisa clínica 30 voluntários. Os fatores em estudo foram: as técnicas de poli- mento superficial em dois níveis: Técnica 1 (discos de óxido de alumínio) e Técnica 2 (produto ácido-abrasivo), e o tempo de análise em 5 níveis: T0 (baseline), T1 (imedia- tamente após os polimentos superficiais), T2 (após polimento final), T3 (7 dias após os procedimentos) e T4 (6 meses após os procedimentos). Os dados representados por escores foram analisados considerando distribuição multinomial; os dados numéricos foram analisados como medidas repetidas no tempo, a um nível de significância de 5%. Nas análises de rugosidade superficial e luminosidade, não houve diferença estatística entre as técnicas em todos os tempos analisados. Nas análises por score, dentro de cada tempo, verificou-se igualdade significativa apenas no baseline; nos demais tempos foram observadas irregularidades superficiais estatisticamente superiores para a Técnica 1. Nenhum paciente apresentou sensibilidade dental. Ambas as técnicas foram eficientes; porém a maior lisura foi adquirida quando a Técnica 2 foi utilizada. / Abstract: This clinical study evaluated the behavior of two surface polishing systems in the regularization of the enamel surface, which was rough and irregular after orthodontic brackets debonding. The response variables were: surface roughness, lightness, morphology, texture and sensitivity. Thirty volunteers were part of this clinical research. The factors under study were: Surface polishing at two levels: Technique 1 (aluminum oxide disks) and Technique 2 (enamel microabrasive product); and the Time of analysis at 5 levels: T0 (after surface polishing), T1 (immediately after surface polishing), T2 (after final polishing), T3 (7 days after surface polishing) and T4 (6 months after surface polishing). The data represented by scores were analyzed considering multinomial distribution; the numerical ones were analyzed as measures repeated in time, at a significance level of 5%. In the analysis of surface roughness and lightness, there was no statistical difference between the polishing techniques at all times analyzed. In the other analyzes, within each time, significant equality was observed only in the baseline, while in the other times superficial irregularities were statistically superior for Technique 1. No patient presented dental sensitivity. Both techniques were efficient; however, the higher surface smoothness was observed on the dental enamel surface polished with the Technique 2 / Doutor

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Microabrasion with PREMA Compound (Premier Dental Product Co., King of Prussia, Penn.) has been advocated for the removal of superficial enamel stains. This procedure eliminates stains by removing a microscopic layer of enamel. The objective of this study was to determine whether the use of PREMA microabrasion prior to orthodontic bonding affects the tensile bond strength of an adhesive precoated stainless steel orthodontic bracket. Sixty noncarious extracted human premolar teeth were randomly divided into three groups of 20 and stored in 3-percent buffered formalin solution. Group I was a control group that was etched and bonded in the usual manner. Group II received PREMA Compound microabrasion immediately prior to bonding. Group III received PREMA microabrasion followed by a six-week storage period prior to bonding. After bonding, specimens were thermocycled and stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 14 days. The specimens were then loaded to failure in the tensile mode of an Instron testing machine (Instron Corp., Canton, Mass.). A stress-breaking apparatus was utilized to minimize all forces other than tensile. The data was statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance at the 0.05 level. No statistically significant differences were found among the three groups. From these results it was concluded that microabrasion with PREMA did not affect bond strength. Enamel microabrasion can be provided prior to orthodontic treatment without any detriment to bracket bond strength.
