Foram utilizados cem preparos anatômicos de primeiro molar superior (26) confeccionados em resina epóxi- Nema G10, que foram divididos em quatro grupos: Tradicional: infraestrutura em zircônia (Zircônia Convencional-Incoris ZI, Sirona, Brasil) e cobertura de porcelana (Cerâmica Feldspática-Cerec Blocs); Graduada: infraestrutura em zircônia infiltrada por sílica e cobertura de porcelana; Bioinspirada: infraestrutura em porcelana e cobertura com zircônia (Zircônia translúcida-Incoris TZI, Sirona, Brasil); e Bioinspirada Graduada: infraestrutura em porcelana e cobertura com zircônia infiltrada por sílica. A porção mais externa de todas as coroas foi revestida com uma camada glaze. A carga para fadiga deslizante foi de 100 N. Então os espécimes foram ciclados mecanicamente em um simulador de ciclos mastigatórios no qual uma ponta aplicadora fez 2.106 ciclos a uma frequência de 4 Hz. A cada 500.000 ciclos as coroas foram avaliadas quanto à presença de falhas (trincas, lascamentos ou descolamento entre porcelana e zircônia, fraturas catastróficas), em estereomicroscópio. Os tipos de falhas predominantes para as coroas Tradicional e Graduada foram delaminação e trincas, respectivamente. Os parâmetros de W...

One hundred anatomical preparations of first upper molar were made of epoxy resin Nema G10 and divided into four groups: Traditionalzirconia (Conventional zirconia -Incoris ZI, Sirona, Brazil) and porcelain cover (Feldsphatic ceramic-Cerec Blocks); Graded- infrastructure in zirconia silica infiltrated and porcelain cover; Bioinspired- porcelain infrastructure and zirconia cover (Trasnlucent zirconia-Incoris TZI, Sirona, Brazil); and Graded Bioinspired- porcelain infrastructure and zirconia infiltrated by silica cover. The outermost portion of all crowns was coated with a glaze layer. The load for sliding fatigue was 100 N. Then the specimens were mechanically cycled in a masticatory cycle simulator for 2 x 106 cycles at 4 Hz of frequency. Every 500k cycles the crowns were evaluated in stereomicroscope for failures presence (cracks, chipping or detachment between porcelain and zirconia, or catastrophic fractures). The predominant failure types for the Traditional and Graded crowns were delamination and cracking, respectively. The Weibull parameters (beta and eta) with 95% bilateral confidence interval were respectively: Traditional - 1.29 and 0.23 E + 07 cycles; Graded - 1.95 and 0.23 E + 07 cycles; Bioinspired - 1,00 and 1,67 E + 07 cycles and Graded Bioinspired - 1,00 1,67 E + 07 cycles. The Traditional and Graded crowns presented greater susceptibility to failure due to fatigue and the Bioinspired and Graded Bioinspired crowns showed no susceptibility to fatigue. Also, through the finite elements analysis, it was verified that the Bioinspired and Graded Bioinspired crowns presented the ..((Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico) / Doutor

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect of preterm birth on the development of the dentition. The spesific aims were to examine the effect on deciduous and permanent tooth crown dimensions, the eruption of permanent teeth and the sagittal occlusal relationships within the dentition. The subjects consisted of 328 prematurely born (< 37 gestational weeks ) white and black children and 1804 control children, who participated in the cross-sectional study of the Collaborative Perinatal Project (USA) in the 1960's and 1970's. Dental examinations, including dental casts were performed at the age of 6–12 years. Tooth crown size measurements, recording of the sagittal occlusal relationships and tooth eruption stages were performed by examining the dental casts. In general larger permanent tooth crown dimensions were found in preterm white boys and black girls and smaller permanent tooth crown dimensions in preterm white girls and black boys. There were both increased and decreased deciduous tooth crown dimensions in preterm children compared to controls, but no significant differences were found. Boys had larger tooth crown sizes than girls within all preterm and control groups showing sexual dimorphism. The results showed earlier eruption of permanent incisors and first molars in all preterm children compared to controls and also according to sex and race. Concerning the sagittal occlusal relationships, the results showed greater prevalence of prenormal canine relationships in preterm group than in the controls. When the molar relationships were concerned, the prevalence of mesial molar occlusion was greater in the preterm group. The incidence of bilateral symmetrical canine relationship was the same in both preterm and control groups, but inside the preterm group the girls had better symmetry than the boys. The findings of this research suggest that short gestation is not associated with reduced permanent and deciduous tooth crown dimensions in prematurely born children and also confirm the presence of the sexual dimorphism in tooth crown size. The studies also indicate that the clinical tooth eruption is accelerated in all observable permanent teeth in prematurely born children. The findings of occlusal morphology indicated that premature birth may effect the sagittal occlusal development. General health condition, neonatal and postnatal factors like intubation, postnatal molding of head shape and the importance of catch-up growth and early functional activity should be considered as possible influencing factors. Preterm birth may also interfere with the development of symmetry and lateralization.

Orientador: Guilherme de Siqueira Ferreira Anzaloni Saavedra / Coorientador: Lilian Costa Anami / Banca: Carlos Eduardo Francci / Banca: Clovis Pagani / Resumo: Este estudo avalia a influência da presença e tipo de pinos e núcleos na sobrevivência à fadiga de incisivos centrais restaurados com coroas totais. As coroas de 69 incisivos bovinos foram cortadas e as raízes tratadas endodonticamente. As raízes foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em três grupos (n = 23): núcleo de resina composta (NRC), núcleo de resina composta retido por pino de fibra de vidro (PFV) e núcleo metálico fundido (NMF). Todos receberam preparo de coroa total com férula de 2 mm, e então, uma coroa de cerâmica reforçada com leucita foi adesivamente cimentada. Três amostras de cada grupo foram testadas para determinação da carga máxima até a falha. As amostras restantes foram carregadas pelo teste acelerado de fadiga stepwise stress até a fratura ou suspensão após o término de 1,5 x 106 ciclos. A carga e o degrau em que cada espécime falhou foram analisadas pela estatística de Kaplan-Meier e Mantel-Cox (Log Rank test), seguidas por comparação múltipla aos pares, com nível de significância de 5%. O modo de falha foi analisado com estéreomicrocópio. Não houve diferença estatística entre os tratamentos quanto à carga (Mantel-Cox Log-Rank test for trend, X2=0,015, df=1, p=0,901), nem para o número de ciclos (Mantel-Cox Log-Rank test for trend, X2 =3,171, df=1, p=0,995). O modo de falha predominante foi a trinca da coroa. Fratura obliqua da raiz só foi observado nos grupos retidos por pinos. Nos incisivos tratados endodonticamente com férula de 2 mm, a presença e o tipo...

The crowns of 69 bovine incisors were cut and endodontically treated. The roots were randomly assigned into three groups (n=23): composite resin build-up (NRC), glass fiber post-retained-composite build-up (PFV) and cast post-and-core (NMF). All specimens received crown preparation with a 2 mm ferrule, and then a leucite-reinforced ceramic crown was adhesively cemented. Three samples from each group were tested for the determination of the maximum load to failure. The remaining samples were loaded by the accelerated fatigue stepwise stress test until fracture or suspension after the end of 1.5 x 106 cycles. The load and the step on which each specimen failed were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier and Mantel-Cox (Log Rank test) statistics, followed by multiple paired comparisons, with a significance level of 5%. The failure mode was analyzed with stereomicroscope. There was no statistically significant difference between the treatments (Mantel-Cox Log-Rank test for trend, X2=0.015, df=1, p=0.901), nor for the number of cycles (Mantel-Cox Log-Rank test for trend, X2=3.171, df=1, p=0.995). The predominant failure mode was the crown crack. Oblique root fracture was observed only in groups retained by posts. The presence and type of post system did not influence the fatigue survival of the endodontically treated incisors with a 2 mm ferrule. Non-restorable fractures only occurred on teeth restored with posts...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Dois implantes hexágono externo - com 3,75 mm de diâmetro - foram posicionados, com o auxílio de um paralelômetro fresador (1000N; Bio-art), na posição de segundo pré-molar e segundo molar num troquel de resina acrílica, de maneira a ficarem parcialmente submersos na resina expondo apenas suas plataformas de adaptação. Foram confeccionados 10 troqueis de resina acrílica (n=10). A partir de cada troquel foi obtida, pelo método de fundição da cera perdida, uma infraestrutura implanto-retida utilizando-se dois cilindros calcináveis tipo UCLA. A amostra foi submetida à força de torque de seus parafusos de fixação a 20 Ncm, registrada por meio de um torquímetro digital de precisão (Torque Meter TQ-8800; Lutron), e reapertados após 10 minutos. A força de destorque foi registrada após 24 horas do torque inicial. A resistência ao destorque foi analisada após fundição da estrutura protética e simulação dos três ciclos de cocção da porcelana (opaco dentina e glaze). Foram obtidas médias de destorque para cada estrutura nas distintas etapas de avaliação no estudo. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelos testes ANOVA one-way e Bonferroni, com nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Os valores das médias da força de destorque dos parafusos por fase foram 13,95 ± 1,12 Ncm para pós-fundição, 15,20 ± 1,18 Ncm para ciclo Opaco, 15,85 ± 1,13 Ncm para ciclo Dentina e 16,80 ± 1,03 Ncm para o glaze. A força de destorque dos parafusos após a fundição foi significativamente menor do que a obtida para os grupos que simularam o ciclo de cocção da porcelana (p<0,05). Entre as fases de simulação dos ciclos cerâmicos, observou-se maior valor da força de destorque para o glaze (p<0,05), não sendo observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre as fases opaco e dentina (p>0,05). Foi possível verificar que os ciclos de cocção da porcelana influenciam a resistência ao destorque em parafusos de estruturas metálicas implanto-retidas fundidas em níquel-cromo (Ni-Cr). Observou-se que os valores de destorque aumentaram gradativamente com cada ciclo de cocção da porcelana / Abstract: This study evaluated the resistance to detorque of screws from implant-retained metal structures cast in nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) after metal casting and simulation of porcelain firing cycle. Two external hex implants - with 3.75 mm diameters - were placed with the help of a parallelometer cutter (1000N; Bio-art), in the position of second premolar and second molar in acrylic resin die, so as to be partially submerged in the resin exposing only their platforms for adaptation. Thereupon, 10 dies were made with acrylic resin (n= 10). An implant-retained infrastructure from each die was obtained by the method of lost wax casting, using two UCLA cylinders. The sample of acrylic structures were subjected to 20 Ncm of torque to its fixing screws registered by means of a precision digital torque wrench (Torque Meter TQ-8800; Lutron) and retightened after 10 minutes. The measure of detorque was recorded 24 hours after the initial torque. The detorque resistance was analyzed after denture casting, followed by the simulation of porcelain firing cycles (opaque, dentin and glaze). Detorque averages were obtained for each structure at different stages of evaluation in this study. Data was statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests, at 5% significance level (p>0.05). We performed necessary statistical tests. The mean detorque force of the screws per phase were 13.95 ± 1.12 Ncm for post-casting; 15.20 ± 1.18 Ncm for cycle opaque; 15.85 ± 1.13 Ncm for cycle dentin; and 16.80 ± 1.03 Ncm for glazing. The screw's post-casting detorque resistance was significantly lower than that observed for the groups simulating porcelain firing cycles (p<0.05). Among groups simulating ceramic's cycles, the highest detorque resistance was observed for glaze group (p<0.05), with no significant statistical differences among opaque and dentin groups (p>0.05). It was possible that the porcelain firing cycle influenced detorque resistance of screws in implant-retained metal structures cast in nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr). It was observed that detorque values gradually increased after each porcelain firing cycle / Doutorado / Protese Dental / Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

A alta demanda estética desses tratamentos faz com que as cerâmicas que são materiais altamente biocompatíveis e com ótimas propriedades mecânicas, sejam amplamente utilizadas nas reabilitações orais. Nas próteses sobre implantes, o processo de cimentação de restaurações cerâmicas acontece sobre conexões metálicas em titânio (Ti), cobalto-cromo (CoCr) ou infra-estruturas personalizadas em zircônia (Zr). O processo de cimentação necessita de algumas etapas para promover o tratamento de superfície das restaurações indiretas e variam de acordo com a especificidade de cada substrato. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do tratamento de superfície em diferentes substratos de conexões protéticas utilizando primer e sistema adesivo universal contento o monômero funcional 10-MDP na resistência de união à cimento resinoso autoadesivo, por meio de teste mecânico de cisalhamento. Foram confeccionadas 120 amostras (n= 40 de Ti, CoCr e Zr) as quais foram incluidas em blocos de resina acrílica. As amostras foram subdivididas em 12 grupos (n=10), 3 grupos representam o controle e não tiveram a superfície tratada, os demais grupos tiveram a superfície tratada com primer monocomponente ou sistema adesivo universal contendo 10-MDP. Em seguida foi confeccionado um cilíndro de cimento resinoso (2mm de altura X 2,37mm de diâmetro) com...

The high aesthetic demand of these treatments makes Ceramics, that are highly biocompatible materials and with good mechanical properties, widely used in oral rehabilitation. In implant prostheses, the process of cementation happens between ceramic restorations on metallic connections in titanium (Ti) and / or cobalt chromium (CoCr) or custom zirconia (Zr) infrastructures. During the cementing process of ceramic restorations some surface treatment steps are required, these steps varying according to the type of specific ceramics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of surface treatment on different substrates of prosthetic connections using primer and universal adhesive system containing 10-MDP functional monomer on bond strength to self-adhesive resin cement by mechanical shear test. One hundred and twenty samples (n = 40 Ti, CoCr and Zr) were made and included in blocks of acrylic resin. The samples were subdivided into 12 groups (n = 10), 3 groups represent the control and did not have the surface treated, the other groups had the surface treated with single component primer or universal adhesive system containing 10-MDP. Then a resin cement cylinder (2mm height X 2,37mm diameter) was made with the aid of a teflon device to measure the exact dimensions. Twenty four hours after the cylinders were made, the...

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Introduction: Some intracanal medicaments used in regenerative endodontics may compromise the bond strength of root cements and lead to tooth discoloration. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of 1) low concentrations of TAP and DAP (1 mg/mL) on push-out bond strength of various root cements, and 2) low concentrations of TAP and DAP (1 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL) on crown discoloration. Materials and Methods: Single rooted human teeth (n = 144) were horizontally decoronated and instrumented according to standardized protocol. The samples were randomized into six experimental groups (Ca(OH)2, 1000 mg/mL TAP and DAP, 1 mg/mL TAP and DAP, and no medicament control group. After four weeks, the medicaments were removed and each group was divided into three subgroups to receive MTA cement, Biodentine cement, or Endosequence Bioceramic putty cement for two weeks. Then, two root cylinders were obtained from each root and push-out bond strength testing was performed. For the crown discoloration experiment, 160 crowns were obtained from intact human molars and randomized into experimental groups as described earlier with the addition of two groups (10 mg/mL TAP and DAP). The pulp chambers in half of the samples from each group were coated with an adhesive bonding agent before receiving the assigned intracanal medicament. Color changes (ΔE) were detected by spectrophotometer at 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks after application, as well as after thermocycling. Results: In the push-out bond strength experiment, 1 mg/mL DAP generally demonstrated significantly higher bond strength of root cements compared with the other treatment groups. For the crown discoloration experiment, when an adhesive bonding agent was used prior to (10 mg/mL or 1000 mg/mL) TAP, the crowns had significantly less discoloration than those without adhesive. DAP 10 mg/mL had the least significant color change at all time points regardless of whether adhesive was used. Conclusion: 1) 1 mg/mL DAP and Ca(OH)2 did not have significant negative effect on the bond strength of calcium-silicate-based cement to radicular dentin. 2) 1 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL of DAP and Ca(OH)2 had significantly less effect on the color change of the human tooth crown than all intracanal medicaments used in this study. / 2020-08-13
