Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / Introduction: Micro-leakage and enamel demineralization is still a major challenge in dental practice. It can lead to formation of demineralization lesions around and beneath the adhesive–enamel interface (Mali et al., 2006). Enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets is one of the risks associated with orthodontic treatment. The prevention of demineralization during orthodontic treatment is therefore essential for aesthetic reasons and to circumvent the onset of caries. Aim: To assess micro-leakage and enamel demineralization around orthodontic direct attachments (brackets) using three different orthodontic cements. Materials and methods: In this in-vitro study, intact (non carious) extracted human premolars were used to compare the micro-leakage and enamel demineralization of three different cements (Fuji Ortho LC, Rely X luting 2 and Transbond XT). The dye penetration technique was used to evaluate micro-leakage on extracted human premolars. Micro-hardness testing was performed on 21 teeth to determine enamel demineralization. Sixty teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of twenty teeth each. Direct attachments were cemented on each tooth using 3 different cements; Fuji Ortho LC (GC Fuji II LC GC Corporation Tokyo, Japan), (group 1), Rely X luting 2 cement (3M ESPE dental product, USA), (group 2), Transbond XT Light Cure (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif), (group 3). After the orthodontic direct attachments were fitted, they were exposed to 500 thermo-cycles between 5°C and 55°C, with a dwell time of 15 seconds in a buffered (pH 7) 1% methylene blue dye solution (Grobler et al, 2007). The specimens were viewed under a stereomicroscope (Nikon, Japan) at magnification of 40 times. Photographs of each specimen were taken with a Leica camera (Leica DFC 290 micro-systems, Germany) fitted onto a stereomicroscope. The ACDsee photo editing programme was used to transfer the photographs to a computer to measure the dye penetration along the enamel–adhesive and adhesive–bracket interfaces, both on the gingival and occlusal edge at × 40 magnification. For the demineralization sample, 21 teeth were divided into 3 groups of seven teeth each, where direct attachments were cemented using each of the 3 cements, group 1, Fuji Ortho LC (GC Fuji II LC GC Corporation Tokyo, Japan); group 2, Rely X luting 2 cement (3M ESPE dental product, USA) and group 3, Transbond XT Light Cure (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif). A digital hardness tester with Vickers diamond indenter (Zwick RoellIndentec (ZHV; Indentec UK) was used to measure surface micro-hardness of enamel before and after attaching the brackets. Ten indentations were made on the enamel surface of each tooth before bonding the brackets with a 300g load applied for 15 seconds to establish the baseline hardness value. After de-bonding the brackets, the hardness was measured again in the same area as mentioned above to determine the degree of enamel demineralization (softening). Result: The result showed statistically significantly lower levels of micro-leakage for Transbond XT (P= <0.001). The amount of micro-leakage on the margins was significantly higher in the gingival portion (P <0.05) as compared with the occlusal margin. Enamel micro-hardness tests before bonding using the three different cements showed that the variances are not significantly different (Chi-squared = 3.051, df = 2, p-value = 0.218). However, the micro-hardness tests done after bonding and thermo-cycling was statistically significantly different (Chi-squared = 13.435, df = 2, p-value = 0.001). Clearly, the Transbond XT group had less hardness, implying greater demineralization than the Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2 groups. Two sample t-tests show that mean value for the Fuji Ortho and Rely X luting 2 were not significantly different from each other (t = -0.636, df = 12, p-value = 0.537). The mean value for Transbond XT differed significantly from both the other two means: Transbond XT vs Fuji Ortho LC (t = 3.249, df = 6.9, p-value = 0.014). Transbond XT vs Rely X luting 2 (t = 3.493, df = 6.8, p-value = 0.011). Conclusions: This study showed that Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2 show more micro-leakage than Transbond XT. However Transbond XT had significant lower micro-leakage, less hardness (greater demineralization) than the Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2. This may have been due to the fluoride release which significantly reduces demineralization. Therefore the Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2 may be recommended for prevention of demineralization during orthodontic treatment.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This investigation examined the relationships among light cured glass ionomer liner, light cured glass ionomer base, and composite resin material in the reattachment of fractured anterior tooth fragments. Seventy-five bovine incisor teeth were fractured and luted back together with three different materials (Universal Bonding Agent/TPH Composite Resin; VariGlass VLC Liner; VariGlass VLC Base, LD Caulk Div Dentsply Int Inc, Milford, DE) of equal number. The reattached fragments were subjected to thermocycling with a 40° C differential and then were loaded until the force required to detach the fragment was reached. The mean dislodgment strengths were 36.8 (± 25.6)kg for the composite resin, 36.4 (± 26.7)kg for the glass ionomer base, and 31.4 (± 29.S)kg for the glass ionomer liner. Analysis of variance demonstrated no significant difference between the three groups at p≤0.05. Also examined was the type of fracture after reattachment. Of the sixty-five teeth that were studied microscopically, 84.6 percent of the fractures were cohesive in nature, thus a breakdown occurred within the material itself.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The functional quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) and their constructed polyQAS or PQAS were synthesized, characterized and formulated into a novel antibacterial glass-ionomer cement. Compressive strength (CS) and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) viability were used to evaluate the mechanical strength and antibacterial activity of the cements. Fuji II LC cement was used as control. The specimens were conditioned in distilled water at 37 oC for 24 h prior to testing. The effects of the substitute chain length, loading as well as grafting ratio of the QAS and aging on CS and S. mutans viability were investigated. Chapter 2 describes how we studied and evaluated the formulated antibacterial glass-ionomer cement by incorporating QAS chloride-containing polymer into the formulation. The results show that with PQAS addition, the studied cements showed a reduction in CS with 25-95% for Fuji II LC and 13-78% for the experimental cement and a reduction in S. mutans viability with 40-79% for Fuji II LC and 40-91% for the experimental cement. The experimental cement showed less CS reduction and higher antibacterial activity as compared to Fuji II LC. The long-term aging study indicates that the cements are permanently antibacterial with no PQAS leaching. Chapter 3 describes how we studied and evaluated the formulated antibacterial cements by changing chain length, type of halide, loading, grafting ratio and aging time. The results show that the effects of the chain length, loading and grafting ratio of the QAS were significant. Increasing chain length, loading, grafting ratio significantly enhanced antibacterial activity but reduced CS. The experimental cement showed less CS reduction and higher antibacterial activity as compared to Fuji II LC. The long-term aging study indicates that the cements are permanently antibacterial with no PQAS leaching. There was no significant difference between QAS bromide and QAS chloride, suggesting that we can use QAS bromide directly without converting bromide to chloride. In summary, we have developed a novel PQAS-containing antibacterial glass-ionomer cement. The cement has demonstrated significant antibacterial activities. Our experimental cement is a promising system because the reduced strength of the cement with addition of PQAS is still above those demonstrated by original commercial cement Fuji II LC without any PQAS addition. It appears that the experimental cement is a clinically attractive dental restorative that can be potentially used for long-lasting restorations due to its high mechanical strength and permanent antibacterial function.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The search for an orthodontic bonding adhesive that has chemical adhesion to enamel and releases fluoride into the oral environment has led to experimentation with glass ionomer cements. This study compared the tensile bond strength of eight different orthodontic bracket base designs in vitro and assessed the amount of adhesive remaining on the bracket pad after debonding. Each bracket base design included in this study had unique characteristics warranting their inclusion. The groups contained brackets with 60, 80, and 100 gauge mesh pads; 100 gauge mesh sandblasted pads; perforated metal bases; Micro-Lock™ photo-etched bases; Dyna-Lock™ integral bracket/bases; and ceramic silane-coated bracket pads. Groups contained 20 to 22 specimens that were bonded to bovine incisor teeth embedded in a self-curing acrylic block that could be held in the testing machine. Pre-encapsulated glass ionomer cement (Ketac-Fil™) was the experimental adhesive. The adhesive was mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions in a dental amalgamator. The specimens were thermocycled between water oaths of 15°C and 55°C. The specimens spent 30 seconds in each bath for a total of 2,500 cycles and were stored in a humidor until debonding. After 14 days, the specimens were subjected to a tensile force using an Instron mechanical testing machine until failure occurred. The Micro-Loc™ photo-etched base had significantly higher mean tensile bond strength (p<0.05) than all other brackets tested. The ceramic brackets were unable to be tested due to the extremely weak bond strength which did not allow preparation of the samples for debonding. Following debonding, the percentage of adhesive remaining attached to the bracket base was determined using a grid in the ocular of a light microscope. In general, the site of bond failure involved the base/adhesive interface. The Dyna-Lock™ integral bracket/base and 80 gauge mesh base had a greater mean percent of adhesive remaining attached to the base. (Dyna-Lock™ 45 percent and 80 gauge mesh 43 percent vs. all other < 20 percent.) The results indicate that the bracket base design can influence the bond strength when GIC is used as an orthodontic adhesive and suggests that development of GIC with increased fracture toughness might increase bond strength.

Purpose: To compare the in-vitro shear bond strengths of a new paste-paste formulation of resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (Rm-GIC) to an exising powder-liquid formulation. The study will test the hypothesis that the new paste-paste formulation of Rm-GIC (Fuji-Cem ™, GC Corp, Tokyo, Japan) has the same bond strength as an existing popular powder-liquid formulation of Rm-GIC (Rely-X ™ Luting Cement, 3M, St. Paul, MN)Materials and Methods: A total of 33 human molars were sectioned parallel to the occlusal surface to expose mid-coronal dentin and mounted parallel to the bond shearing device on the universal testing machine (Instron). For Group I samples (Rely-X, n=15), the powder and liquid were measured and adjusted to achieve a ratio of 1.6 and mixed for 30 seconds as recommended by the manufacturer. For Group II (Fuji-Cem, n=18), the paste-paste was expressed from the paste-dispenser provided by the manufacturer and mixed for 10 seconds as recommended. After testing, the teeth from group II were bonded on a different site with the same material but mixed for 20 seconds (n=18). To ensure a uniform flow and bond surface area, the mixed cement was syringed into a cylindrical mould (diameter 2.38mm, height 2mm) and allowed to set under constant force. All samples were subjected to fracture by shear loading on a universal testing machine (Instron) at a uniform crosshead speed of .02" per minute and expressed as MPa. Values were analyzed at the pResults: Wilcoxon rank sums test showed significantly higher shear bond strength values for Rely-X compared to Fuji-Cem mixed both at 10 seconds and 20 seconds. Mixing for 20 seconds resulted in stronger bonds for Fuji-Cem compared to 10 seconds, but was still significantly lower than Rely-X.Conclusions: Within the limitations of the study, the Rely-X powder-liquid formula shows a significantly stronger dentin shear bond strength when compared to the new paste-paste formula of resin-modified glass ionomer cement, Fuji-Cem.

Orientador: Angela Cristina Cilense Zuanon / Resumo: O cimento de ionômero de vidro (CIV) é um material amplamente utilizado na odontopediatria uma vez que possui, entre outras características, capacidade de liberação de íons flúor. Sua associação aos vidros bioativos (VB) pode favorecer ainda mais a remineralização da lesão de cárie, porém, pouco se sabe sobre a sua influência nas propriedades físicas, mecânicas e microbiológicas do material. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a associação de um CIV convencional com VB 45S5 ou F18 em duas diferentes porcentagens (5 e 10%) em relação a porosidade (n=10) por meio da avaliação do número e área ocupada por poros, a microdureza Vickers (n=10), utilizando microdurômetro digital, a rugosidade superficial (n=10), com auxílio de rugosímetro, a resistência à compressão (n=10) medida em máquina de ensaios mecânicos (EMIC) e a atividade antibiofilme (n=10), por contagem de unidades formadoras de colônia (UFC) após 1,7, 14 e 21 dias de incubação. Para obtenção de dados de molhabilidade, realizou-se medidas de ângulos de contato (n=4). Análise de superfície em espectroscopia de raios x por dispersão em energia (EDX) (n=1) também foi realizada. Os dados obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente quanto à normalidade e a homogeneidade. Uma vez que houve aderência à curva normal, foi realizad o teste paramétrico de análise de variância (ANOVA) seguida pelo teste de Tukey.

Its association with bioactive glasses (BG) can further promote remineralization of carious lesions. However, their influence on physical, mechanical and microbiological properties of the material needs to be study. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of a conventional GIC to BG 45S5 or F18 in 2 different concentrations (5 or 10%) in relation to porosity (n=10) by means of the evaluation of the pore number and pore area, Vickers microhardness (n=10), using a digital microdurometer, the surface roughness (n=10), using a rugosimeter, compressive strength (n=10) measured in universal testing machine (UTM) and the antibiofilm activity (n=10), for colony forming units (CFU) counts after 1, 7, 14 and 21 days of incubation. To obtain wettability data, measurements of contact angle (n=10) were performed. Surface analysis in energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) (n=1) were also performed. The data obtained were statistically analyzed for normality and homogeneity. Once the normal curve was adhered, a parametric test of analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed, followed by the Tukey test. All tests were performed at a significance level of 5%. It was observed that the addition of 10% of BG 45S5 or F18 to the conventional GIC increased its surface roughness, the area occupied by the pores and decreased its compressive strength when compared to the control group or to the one with 5% of BG. There was no difference in microhardness. Microbiological evaluation showed difference at 14 days, when the groups that received addition of BG had the worst results. It can be observed that the concentration of 5% did not bring damages to the studied properties. Thus, this work points strongly to the fact that 5% 45S5 or F18 BG can be studied in search of ...[Complete abstract electronic access below) / Doutor

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desgaste à abrasão decorrente da escovação simulada de cimentos de ionômero de vidro sonificados, por análise da alteração de massa e da textura superficial. Os materiais avaliados foram: Fuji II LC (GC América), Resiglass (Biodinâmica), Vitro Fil LC (DFL), Fuji IX (GC América), Ketac Molar (3M ESPE), Vitro Molar (DFL), Bioglass (Biodinâmica), Vitro Fil (DFL), que foram manipulados conforme instruções do fabricante, constituindo-se no grupo controle, e um grupo submetido ao ultra-som EMS FT-081 DN Mini PIEZON (EMS, Nyon, Geneva, Switzerland), constituindo-se no grupo experimental. Os corpos-deprova foram confeccionados em uma matriz de dente bovino, com um orifício central com dimensões de 5mm de diâmetro e 3mm de espessura. Foram confeccionados 10 corpos-de-prova para cada material e cada grupo (experimental e controle). O teste de simulação da escovação foi realizado numa máquina automática para simulação de escovação (M.N. São Carlos - Brasil). A alteração de massa foi verificada pela diferença entre a massa inicial (antes da escovação) e final (após a escovação), em balança de precisão (cap. 210g, sens. 0,0001g mod. Mark 210A LICiT-Bel/Proc. Italian), com precisão de quatro casas decimais. A análise da rugosidade superficial em Ra foi determinada pela diferença entre as médias de cinco leituras, iniciais e finais, com um rugosímetro Hommel Tester T1000 (Hommelwerke, GmbH, Alte Tuttinger Strebe 20. D-7730 VS-Schwenningen). Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de ANOVA a dois critérios e Tukey (p<0,05). Quanto à perda de massa não houve diferença estatisticamente significante em relação à aplicação do ultra-som (p=0,403). No entanto, houve diferença estatisticamente significante para os diferentes Ionômeros estudados, onde p<0,001, mais precisamente do Resiglass e do Vitro Molar com os demais materiais. No que se refere à alteração de rugosidade houve diferença estatisticamente significante para a condição utilização ou não do ultra-som (p=0,043), mas não para os diferentes materiais estudados, onde p=0,264. A excitação ultra-sônica durante a presa inicial piora a rugosidade de superfície e não apresenta nenhuma influência na perda de peso. / The purpose of this work was to evaluate abrasion resistance, by means of weight loss, and surface roughness (SR) of GIC, using ultrasonic excitation as a command set. The materials tested were Fuji II LC and Fuji IX (GC Corporation), Ketac Molar (3M ESPE), Resiglass and Bioglass (Biodinâmica), Vitro Fil LC, Vitro Molar and Vitro Fil (DFL). Twenty specimens of each GIC brand were evaluated, being half submitted to ultrasound (US) (Piezon - EMS, Switzerland). The materials were placed in bovine tooth matrix (5mm inner diameter and 3mm of thickness). Initial weight was carried out by means of a digital balance (210A LICiT/Italian). The initial SR was quantitatively assessed by measuring the surface roughness using Hommel Tester T1000 (Hommelwerke, Germany) determined by the average of 5 random measurements in each sample. The specimens were submitted to brushing abrasion test. Weight loss and surface roughness, for each specimen were calculated based on the difference between the initial and final weight and surface roughness means, respectively. Weight loss (g) varied between 0,0001 and 0,0090 with US and 0,0001 and 0,0123 without US. Surface roughness (µm) varied between 0,0770 and 0,4330 with US and -0,0270 and 0,3520 without US. The results, analyzed by two way ANOVA and Tukey\'s test (p<0,05), presented statistically significant difference in the surface roughness when the GIC was submitted or not to US (p=0,043) while no statistical difference was observed among the GIC brands (p=0,264). The weight loss presented statistically significant difference between the tested GIC brands (p<0,010), while no influence on the weight loss by the use of US was observed (p=0,403). Ultrasonic excitation during initial cure does not improve surface roughness of GIC, and does not present any influence on weight loss.

Este estudo objetivou avaliar quantitativamente e qualitativamente a resistência adesiva de três diferentes tipos de cimentos de ionômero de vidro (CIV) por meio dos ensaios mecânicos de microtração e microcisalhamento. Quarenta superfícies planas de dentina foram divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos, segundo o ensaio mecânico: microtração (n=24) e microcisalhamento (n=16). Posteriormente, cada grupo foi novamente dividido em quatro subgrupos, segundo o material restaurador utilizado: CIV de alta viscosidade (Ketac Molar Aplicap - 3M/ESPE), CIV modificado por resina (Fuji II LC encapsulado - CG Corporation), nano-ionômero (Ketac N100 - 3M/ESPE) e resina composta (Z100 - 3M/ESPE). Para o teste de microtração os dentes foram seccionados perpendicularmente a interface de união obtendo-se espécimes com área de superfície aderida de aproximadamente 1mm2. Para o teste de microcisalhamento foram confeccionados três cilindros de material restaurador em cada superfície de dentina. Todos os grupos foram armazenados em água destilada por 24h. Os ensaios foram realizados em Mini Instron a velocidade de 1mm/min. Os valores obtidos, expressos em MPa, foram submetidos à Análise de Variância (p<0,05) e o método de comparações múltiplas LSD. Foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante entre testes e entre materiais, demonstrando que o comportamento dos valores de resistência adesiva dos quatro tipos de materiais estudados depende do tipo de ensaio mecânico utilizado. A análise qualitativa dos padrões de fratura em lupa estereoscópica revelou fraturas predominantemente adesivas e mistas quando da utilização do microcisalhamento para todos os materiais estudados, enquanto para a microtração, observou-se um grande número de fraturas coesivas em material para o Ketac Molar e para o Fuji II LC. Os valores de resistência adesiva do Ketac Molar e do Fuji II LC são semelhantes aos encontrados à resina Z100, quando o teste utilizado foi o microcisalhamento. Com o teste de microtração houve diferença entre os grupos, sendo que Ketac Molar se comportou de maneira semelhante a N100 que foram estatisticamente inferiores a Fuji II LC, que por sua vez também foi inferior a Z100. Com base nesses resultados conclui-se que o ensaio mecânico de microcisalhamento foi o que melhor avaliou a resistência adesiva dos materiais ionoméricos. / The present study aim to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the adhesive resistance of three types of Glass Ionomer Cements (GIC) through microtensile and microshear tests. Forty flat dentine surfaces were randomly divided between the two types of mechanical test: microtensile (n=24) and microshear (n=16). Furthermore, each group was divided into four subgroups, according the material used: High Viscosity GIC (Ketac Molar Aplicap - 3M/ESPE), Resin Modified GIC (Fuji II LC encapsulated - CG Corporation), nano-ionomer (Ketac N100 - 3M/ESPE) and composite resin (Z100 -3M/ESPE) resin. For the microtensile test, the teeth were sectioned perpendicularly to the adhesive interface so 1mm2 surface specimens could be obtained. For the microshare test three cylinder shaped restorative material were produced per each dentine surface. All groups were stored in distillated water for 24h. All tests were performed with a Mini Instron machine at a crosshead speed of 1mm/min. The results obtained, expressed in MPa, were submitted to variance - ANOVA (p<0,05) and least significant differences (LSD) analysis. Test and materials were statistically different, indicating that the values for adhesive resistance obtained per material depend on the test used. The qualitative analysis of the fractures, carried out by light microscope at 40x magnification, revealed that fracture produced by the microshear test were mainly adhesives or mixed. Microtensile fractures were mainly cohesive within the material for Ketac Molar and for Fuji II LC. According to the microshear test, the adhesive resistance figures found for Ketac Molar and for Fuji II LC were similar to the ones found in Z100 resin. Nevertheless, the microtensile test demonstrated that there was difference between the groups, as Ketac Molar behaved in line with N100, which were statistically inferior to Fuji II LC that was poorer than Z100. The conclusion, base on these results, was that the microshear was the mechanical test that better evaluated the adhesive resistance of the studied ionomer-based materials.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a rugosidade superficial (&micro;m) e microdureza Vickers (VH) de materiais restauradores temporários: cimento Biodentine&trade; (M1) e o cimento de ionômero de vidro - Fuji IX (M2) submetidos a diferentes enxaguatórios bucais. Foram confeccionados 54 corpos de prova (cps) por meio de uma matriz de teflon (6mm x 2mm), distribuídos aleatoriamente em 6 grupos de acordo com a solução utilizada: água destilada (S1), enxaguatório com álcool - Listerine Cool Mint (S2) e enxaguatório sem álcool - Colgate Plax (S3). Todos os cps foram mantidos em umidade relativa de 100%, em estufa 37±1°C durante todo o experimento, exceto nos períodos de imersão nos enxaguatórios estabelecidos. Os cps foram colocados individualmente em um frasco contendo 8mL do enxaguatório específico para cada grupo, durante 2 minutos, sob vibração, duas vezes ao dia, por um período de 21 dias. As leituras foram realizdas por meio do microdurômetro e rugosímetro nos tempos de 48 horas (T0), 7 dias (T1), 14 dias (T2) e 21 dias (T3). Os dados obtidos foram agrupados em tabelas e submetidos aos testes estatísticos de normalidade, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk, Anova e Teste de Tukey por meio do Programa Estatístico Assistat Versão 7.7 beta (2016). Resultados: Verificou-se que os fatores Tempo (T), Solução (S) e Material (M) isoladamente e a interação TxM e SxM tiveram efeito estatisticamente significante na rugosidade superficial. Isoladamente, T3 (0,92±0,02) e M1 (0,87±0,01) apresentaram maior média de rugosidade e S3 (0,72±0,02) a menor média de rugosidade. Nas interações MxT e SXM, respectivamente o M1T3 (1,10±0,03) e M1S1 (1,03±0,03) apresentaram maiores médias de rugosidade. Para a microdureza o fator Material isoladamente, e a interação TxS, TxM e SxM tiveram efeito estatisticamente significante. O M1 (61,2±0,87) apresentou maior microdureza, que M2 (54,4±0,87). Para a interação TxS, a condição S2T2 (54,09±2,61) apresentou menor média de microdureza. Para a interação TxM, o M1 comparado com M2 determinou maior microdureza nos tempos T0, T1 e T2. E para a interação SxM, M1S1 (61,59±1,51) e M1S2 (62,86±1,51) apresentaram maior microdureza que M2S1 (51,53±1,51) e M2S2 (54,34±1,51). De acordo com a metodologia pode-se concluir que: a) o M1 apresentou maior rugosidade superficial nos tempos T1, T2 e T3 e maior microdureza nos tempos T0, T1, e T2 do que o M2 b) O material M1 apresentou maior microdureza independente das soluções. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness (&micro;m) and Vickers microhardness of provisory restorative materials: BiodentineTM (M1) and Fuji IX - glass ionomer cement (M2) were submitted to different mouthwashes. Fifty-four specimens were prepared using a Teflon mold (6mm x 2mm), randomly distributed into 6 groups according to the solution used: distilled water (S1), mouthwash containing alcohol -Listerine Cool Mint (S2) and alcohol-free mouthwash - Colgate Plax (S3). During the experiment, all specimens were carried out at a relative humidity of 100% in an oven at 37±1°C, except in the soaking periods in the established mouthwashes. The samples were individually placed in a flask containing 8mL of the specific mouthwash for each group for 1 minute, under vibration twice a day for a period of 21 days. The readings of the variables were carried out at the time of 48 hours (T0), 7 days (T1), 14 days (T2) and 21 days (T3). The obtained data were grouped in tables and submitted to the Normality Tests for Statistical Analysis Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk, Anova and Tukey\'s Test provided by the Statistical software Assistat Program Version 7.7 beta (2016). Results: It was found that there was a significant effect on surface roughness when considered alone Time (T), Solution (S), Material (M) and the interaction between TxM and SxM. On the other hand, T3 (0.92±0.02) and M1 (0.87±0.01) presented the higher roughness and S3 (0.72±0.02) the lowest average roughness. For the interactions MxT and SxM, M1T3 (1,10±0,03) and M1S1 (1,03±0,03) presented higher roughness averages. To microhardness analysis, the material as a alone factor and the interaction TxS, TxM and SxM had a statistically significant effect. M1 (61.2±0.87) presented a higher microhardness than the M2 (54.4±0.87). For the TxS interaction, S2T2 (54.09 ± 2.61) had a lower microhardness average. To TxM interaction, the M1 compared to M2 determined a higher microhardness at T0, T1 and T2. In interaction SxM, M1S1 (61.59±1.51) and M1S2 (62.8 ±1.51) had a higher microhardness than M2S1 (51.53±1.51) and M2S2 (54.3 ±1,51). According to the methodology, it can be concluded that: a) M1 presented greater surface roughnes at T1, T2 and T3 and higher microhardness at T0, T1, and T2 than M2 b) M1 presented a higher microhardness than M2 for S1 and S2.
