Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background: Increasing prevalence of dental erosion has been observed in many countries, in both children and adults. This condition is often associated with softening of the dental surface by acid exposure, which may lead to severe and irreversible damage. The use of fluoride, pit and fissure sealants, dental adhesives and more recently a resin infiltrant has been suggested to manage dental erosion. Objective: To compare the protective effect of a resin infiltrant and other resin-based materials against dental erosion/toothbrushing abrasion in vitro. Materials and methods: Bovine enamel and dentin slabs were prepared, embedded, flattened and polished. Dental erosion lesions were created using 0.01 M of hydrochloric acid (pH 2.3 for 30 sec) and treated with resin-based materials (HS: Helioseal pit and fissure sealant; SP: Seal and Protect dentin 78 sealant, and IC: Icon resin infiltrant) or fluoride varnish (FV: Duraphat). A no-treatment group represented the negative control (C). The specimens were subjected to an erosion-abrasion cycling model for a total of 10 days. Each cycling day consisted of 2 min immersion in 0.01M HCl, at room temperature, for 4 times; and toothbrushing with either of the abrasive suspensions (low and high, as previously determined by the radioactive dentin abrasivity method). Enamel and dentin surfaces were scanned at baseline, after treatment, at 5 days and at 10 days using an optical profilometer. Surface change (loss/gain) was determined by subtracting the treated area from the reference (protected) areas. Significance level of 5% was adopted for the statistical analysis. Results: No differences were found among groups at baseline, regardless of substrate. After treatment, surface deposition was found for all test groups except for IC, which did not differ from C. For enamel, at day 5, FV, HS and SP had less surface loss than C and IC (p<0.0008), which did not differ from each other (p=1.00). At day 10, similar trend was observed except for FV, which showed surface loss similar to C, when brushed with high abrasive suspension. High abrasive caused more surface loss than low abrasive only for C at day 5 (p=0.0117) and 10 (p=0.0162). For dentin, at day 5, FV, HS and SP had less surface loss than C and IC (p≤0.0001), which did not differ from each other (p=1.00). At day 10, HS and SP had less surface loss than C, IC, and FV (p<0.0001), and FV had less surface loss than C for low abrasive (p=0.0009). Overall, high abrasive had significantly more surface loss than low abrasive at 10 days (p=0.0280). Conclusion: HS was the most effective material protecting enamel and dentin from erosion-abrasion, followed by SP. FV offered limited protection, while no benefit was observed for resin infitrant IC.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background: Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is the loss of tooth substance due to chemo-mechanical action unrelated to bacteria. ETW affects approximately 46 percent of children/adolescents and 80 percent of adults in the U.S. Visual examination indices are available for the clinical assessment of ETW. Although useful, they are subjective and heavily based on the clinical experience of the examiner. Some quantitative techniques have been proposed and used for clinically assessing erosive tooth wear, including quantitative light-induced fluorescence, ultrasonic measurement, and more recently, polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the ability of PS-OCT to objectively measure erosive tooth wear on occlusal surfaces. Method: This study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, 10 sound extracted human lower first premolars were selected and then exposed to tooth wear simulation gradually. PS-OCT and micro computed tomography (μ-CT) were used to evaluate enamel thickness of those premolars at the buccal cusp tip during the simulation. In phase 2, 40 extracted human lower first premolars with different severity levels of ETW on occlusal surfaces were selected based on the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index. A total of 10 teeth (n =10) were selected for each BEWE score (0/1/2/3). PS-OCT and μ-CT were used to evaluate the enamel thickness at the highest point on the occlusal surface. Results: There was good agreement between PS-OCT and μ-CT in both phases (phase 1: 0.89 and phase 2: 0.97) with no significant difference between PS-OCT and μ-CT. Conclusion: This result shows the potential of PS-OCT as reliable method for measuring enamel thickness and monitoring tooth wear progression on the occlusal surface

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is a growing dental condition often associated with aging. This in-vitro project comprised three studies aiming to investigate the impact of tooth age on ETW susceptibility and prevention. In the first study, un-identified extracted premolars were collected and had their ages estimated using validated dental forensic methods. The premolars were examined to investigate the relationship between age and presence and severity of ETW, as well as other main dental-hard tissues conditions. ETW, dental caries, fluorosis, extrinsic staining and tooth color were evaluated using established clinical indices. In the second study, the tooth age impact on ETW susceptibility and response to preventive treatments (Sn+F, NaF, and de-ionized water control) were evaluated using representative samples from the initial study. Enamel and dentin specimens were prepared and subjected to daily erosion-treatmentremineralization cycling procedure. Surface loss (SL) was determined during and after the cycling, by optical profilometry. Similar protocol was adopted in the third study with the addition of toothbrushing abrasion to the model, in order to explore the interplay between age and toothpaste abrasivity on erosion-abrasion development. SL was measured during and after the erosion-toothbrushing-remineralization cycling. The relationships between age and the investigated variables were assessed using linear regression models. In conclusion: 1. The presence and severity of ETW, dental caries, and extrinsic staining increased with age, while of enamel fluorosis decreased. Tooth also showed to be darker with age. 2. Susceptibility of enamel and dentin to demineralization increased with age. Sn+F showed the highest anti-erosive efficacy, and was not affected by age. NaF showed lower efficacy on dentin, which increased with age. 3. Enamel and dentin SL increased with toothpaste abrasivity level. Dentin SL also increased with age. Age effect on enamel SL was observed only with low abrasive toothpaste. Age-related changes on enamel and dentin affected ETW development. / 2020-05-17

Erosive tooth wear is the permanent loss of hard dental tissue by the frequent action of chemical and mechanical challenges. This condition has shown an increase in its prevalence in recent years, requiring intervention in the process, ideally through preventive therapies, however, these lesions often need restorative therapies. The objective of this study was to test the use of Giomer-based resins under conditions of erosive tooth wear and its effect on adjacent enamel compared to conventional composite resin and glass ionomer cement by means of an in vitro evaluation, leading to taking into account its differentiated recharge and fluoride release technology, satisfactory aesthetics and resistance and its ability to neutralize acid pH. For that, 120 specimens of bovine teeth were obtained, selected and randomly distributed in 12 groups (n = 10): GI: Composite Nano-Hybrid Resin with Giomer technology (EROSION); GII: Composite Nano-Hybrid resin with Giomer technology (EROSION + ABRASION); GIII: Resin Composed of single increment with Giomer technology (EROSION); GIV: Composite resin of single increment with Giomer technology (EROSION + ABRASION); GV: Micro-Hybrid Composite Resin (EROSION); GVI: Micro-Hybrid Composite Resin (EROSION + ABRASION); GVII: Single-increment Micro-Hybrid Composite Resin (EROSION); GVIII: Single-increment Micro-Hybrid Composite Resin (EROSION + ABRASION); GIX: Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement - CIVC (EROSION); GX: Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement - CIVC (EROSION + ABRASION); GXI: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement - CIVMR (EROSION); GXII: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement - CIVMR (EROSION + ABRASION). In each enamel specimen a cavity was made and the restorative material was inserted under study according to the manufacturer\'s specifications. The initial profile was then performed, with scans of the material and the adjacent enamel (at 100, 200, 300, 600 and 700m). During 5 days, 6 erosive challenges were performed with citric acid for 2 minutes and in the EROSION + ABRASION groups the brushing was performed for 1 minute in a simulated brushing machine, immediately after erosion and washing. Subsequently the final profile was made in the same locations of the initial, for graphic overlap and analysis of loss of material and enamel. The data were evaluated for normality and homogeneity by two-way ANOVA and then the Tukey test was used for comparison between groups, considering p <0,05. When subjected to erosion, the GIX and GXI groups presented greater loss of material compared to the other groups. Up to 300m away from the restoration, the GIC groups and Giomer-based resins were able to promote less enamel loss than the conventional resin. For erosion associated with abrasion, Giomer-based resins showed intermediate loss of material, with greater loss in ionomeric groups and lower loss in conventional resin, with no difference between adjacent enamel in these conditions. It was concluded that Giomer-based resins are a good alternative for restorative treatment of erosion lesions. / O desgaste dentário erosivo é a perda permanente de tecido dental duro pela ação frequente de desafios químico e mecânico. Essa condição vem apresentando um aumento na sua prevalência nos últimos anos, necessitando intervenção no processo idealmente por meio de terapias preventivas, entretanto, muitas vezes essas lesões necessitam de terapias restauradoras. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar a utilização de resinas a base de tecnologia Giomer, sob condições de desgaste dentário erosivo e seu efeito no esmalte adjacente em comparação com a resina composta convencional e cimento de ionômero de vidro por meio de uma avaliação in vitro, levando em conta sua tecnologia diferenciada de recarga e liberação de flúor, estética e resistência satisfatórias e sua capacidade de neutralizar o pH ácido. Para tanto, 120 espécimes de dentes bovinos foram obtidos, selecionados e randomicamente distribuídos em 12 grupos (n=10): GI: Resina Composta Nano-Híbrida com tecnologia Giomer (EROSÃO); GII: Resina Composta Nano-Híbrida com tecnologia Giomer (EROSÃO + ABRASÃO); GIII: Resina Composta de incremento único com tecnologia Giomer (EROSÃO); GIV: Resina Composta de incremento único com tecnologia Giomer (EROSÃO + ABRASÃO); GV: Resina Composta Micro Híbrida (EROSÃO); GVI: Resina Composta Micro Híbrida (EROSÃO + ABRASÃO); GVII: Resina Composta Micro Híbrida de incremento único (EROSÃO); GVIII: Resina Composta Micro Híbrida de incremento único (EROSÃO + ABRASÃO); GIX: Cimento de Ionômero de Vidro Convencional - CIVC (EROSÃO); GX: Cimento de Ionômero de Vidro Convencional CIVC (EROSÃO + ABRASÃO); GXI: Cimento de Ionômero Vidro Modificado por Resina CIVMR (EROSÃO); GXII: Cimento de Ionômero Vidro Modificado por Resina CIVMR (EROSÃO + ABRASÃO). Em cada espécime de esmalte foi confeccionada uma cavidade e inserido o material restaurador em estudo de acordo com as especificações do fabricante. A seguir foi realizado o perfil inicial, com varreduras no material e no esmalte adjacente (a 100, 200, 300, 600 e 700m). Durante 5 dias foram realizados 6 desafios erosivos com ácido cítrico durante 2 minutos e, posteriormente, nos grupos EROSÃO + ABRASÃO foi realizada a escovação por 1 minuto em uma máquina de escovação simulada, imediatamente após a erosão e lavagem. Posteriormente foi feito o perfil final nos mesmos locais do perfil inicial, para sobreposição gráfica e análise de perda de material e esmalte. Os dados foram avaliados quanto à normalidade e homogeneidade por meio do teste ANOVA a dois critérios e então foi feito o teste de Tukey para comparação entre os grupos, considerando p<0,05. Quando submetido à erosão, os grupos GIX e GXI apresentaram maior perda de material comparado aos outros grupos. Até 300m de distância da restauração, os grupos de CIV e resinas a base de Giomer foram capazes de promover menor perda de esmalte que a resina convencional. Para erosão associada à abrasão, resinas a base de Giomer demonstraram perda de material intermediária, sendo vista uma maior perda nos grupos ionoméricos e menor perda na resina convencional, não havendo diferença entre o esmalte adjacente nessas condições. Conclui-se que resinas a base da tecnologia Giomer são uma boa alternativa para o tratamento restaurador de lesões de erosão.

O propósito desta pesquisa foi investigar a influência de diferentes fatores etiológicos na formação das lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs). Essas lesões foram identificadas e classificadas de acordo com o grau de severidade e correlacionadas com os seguintes fatores: presença/ausência de facetas de desgaste e de biofilme, idade, gênero, hábitos alimentares, história médica, hábitos de higiene oral e hábitos parafuncionais. Foram avaliados 33 estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação, com idade variando entre 18 e 30 anos. A avaliação clínica constou de aplicação de índice de biofilme dental, exame clínico para identificação de LCNCs e de modelos de gesso para identificação de facetas de desgaste e aplicação de questionário. Os resultados mostraram que 25 indivíduos (75,7%) apresentaram, pelo menos, uma LCNC, com maior prevalência nas faces vestibulares, sendo os primeiros molares com maior número de lesões, seguidos pelos primeiros pré-molares; os incisivos foram os dentes com menor número de lesões; os pré-molares foram os dentes que apresentaram lesões com maiores escores de severidade; encontrou-se correlação direta entre a severidade das lesões e a idade (p=0,04; r=0,350) e entre facetas de desgaste e lesões (p<0,05; r=0,605). Dos 250 dentes com lesões cervicais, 217 (86,8%) apresentaram facetas de desgaste e 33 (13,2%) não apresentaram facetas, o que sugere a existência de relação significativa entre a presença de facetas e de lesões (p<0,05); foi encontrada, também, correlação inversa entre a presença de biofilme e o número e a severidade das lesões (p=0,02,r=-0,403; p=0,02; r=-0,426, respectivamente). Os fatores gênero, hábitos alimentares, história médica, hábitos de higiene oral e hábitos parafuncionais não foram diferenciais com relação à presença de LCNCs. Os resultados obtidos reforçam a teoria multifatorial para a etiologia dessas lesões. / The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of different etiological factors in the formation of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). These lesions were identified and classified according to the degree of severity and correlated with the following factors: presence/absence of wear facets and biofilm, age, gender, dietary habits, medical history, oral hygiene habits and parafunctional habits. Thirty-three undergraduate and graduate students were evaluated, with ages ranging from 18 to 30 years. Clinical evaluation consisted of dental biofilm index application, clinical examination to identify NCCLs and stone casts for identification of wear facets and questionnaire. The results showed that 25 individuals (75.7%) had at least one NCCL, with higher prevalence in buccal surfaces, the first molars with the higher number of lesions, followed by the first premolar; incisors were teeth with fewer lesions; premolars were teeth that had lesions with higher severity scores; direct correlation was found between severity of lesions and age (p=0.04, r=0.350), and between wear facets and lesions (p<0.05, r= 0.605); from 250 teeth with cervical lesions, 217 (86.8%) had wear facets and 33 (13.2%) had no facets, which suggests the existence of a significant relationship between the presence of facets and NCCLs (p<0.05); inverse correlation was found between the presence of plaque and the number and severity of NCCLs (p=0.02, r=- 0.403; p=0.02, r=-0.426, respectively). Gender, dietary habits, medical history, oral hygiene habits and parafunctional habits showed no significant differences regarding to the presence of NCCLs. The results support the multifactorial theory for the etiology of these lesions.

Este trabalho avaliou in vitro a ação de estímulos triboquímicos que simulam o ciclo mastigatório na resistência ao cisalhamento de duas resinas compostas Filtek P90®- 3M ESPE (P) e Z250®-3M ESPE (Z) com e sem presença de contaminação salivar, assim como a liberação de íons e a qualidade e a quantidade do desgaste produzido. A amostra foi composta por 12 grupos experimentais (n=5): P1 e Z1, sem contaminação/contra dente decíduo; P2 e Z2, com contaminação/contra dente decíduo; P3 e Z3, sem contaminação/contra dente permanente; P4 e Z4, com contaminação/contra dente permanente; P5 e Z5 sem contaminação (controle); P6 e Z6 com contaminação (controle). Ensaios de tribocorrosão foram efetuados na configuração pino-placa de deslizamento linear alternativo, na presença da solução de saliva artificial, carga de 3N e frequência de 1Hz, totalizando 900 ciclos de desgaste durante 15 minutos. As pistas de desgaste foram caracterizadas por MEV, EDX e XRD e o volume de desgaste por análise da variação de massa. A MEV demonstrou que os grupos Z apresentaram maior quantidade de desgaste quando comparados aos grupos P e que os antagonistas de dente permanente apresentaram maior quantidade de resíduos do material desgastado que os antagonistas em dentes decíduos. A análise por XRD não apresentou variação na caracterização de nenhuma das amostras quando se comparou os espécimes antes e após a realização dos experimentos. Na análise por EDX observou-se picos correspondentes aos elementos Ítrio e Silício para os antagonistas dos grupos P e de Zircônia para os dos grupos Z. Os dados obtidos pelo ensaio de nanoendentação não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante para nenhum dos grupos estudados (ANOVA e Teste de Duncan p&le;0,05). Nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significante foi encontrada pelos corpos de prova em resina composta ou antagonistas em nenhum dos grupos estudados quando da análise da variação de massa. Os valores de resistência ao cisalhamento foram: P1 11,20 (±1,44); P2 9,28 (±1,88); P3 8,94 (±1,03); P4 5,76 (±1,47); P5 17,50 (±3,28); P6 15,31 (±1,19); Z1 12,17 (±1,56); Z2 9,60 (±1,56); Z3 10,79 (±3,33); Z4 9,14 (±2,06); Z5 9,77 (±2,27) e Z6 9,22 (±1,98). Os valores de resistência ao cisalhamento foram menores para os grupos P submetidos à contaminação salivar. Na análise de ICP-MS maior liberação de íons Cálcio foi constatada em todos os grupos. A liberação de íons Fosfato foi observada na solução resultante do ensaio tribológico do corpo de prova em resina composta P90 contra antagonista dente permanente. Conclui-se que não há alterações químicas na superfície das resinas após o ensaio mecânico de desgaste e a resina composta P90 apresentou os menores valores de resistência ao cisalhamento em comparação com a resina Z250. A contaminação salivar interferiu negativamente nos valores de resistência ao cisalhamento quando a resina composta P90 foi avaliada. Dente utilizado como contra corpo não teve sua superfície alterada pela incorporação de resíduos de desgaste da resina composta, mantendo o módulo de elasticidade e a nanodureza, sendo que o desgaste ocorreu de forma mais acentuada nas restaurações de resina composta Z250. A liberação de íons Cálcio foi maior que a de íons Fosfato em todas as situações analisadas e a liberação de íons Fosfato foi maior na situação em que o corpo de prova em resina composta P90 foi submetido ao ensaio tribológico contra antagonista dente permanente. O ciclo mastigatório interferiu na resistência ao cisalhamento da resina composta P90. / This study evaluated in vitro the action of tribochemical stimuli simulating the masticatory cycle on the shear bond strength of two composite resins Filtek P90®- 3M ESPE (P) and Z250®-3M ESPE (Z) - with and without salivary contamination, as well as the release of ions and the quality and amount of composite resin/tooth wear. Twelve experimental groups (n=5) were formed: P1 and Z1, without contamination/against primary tooth; P2 and Z2, with contamination/against primary tooth; P3 and Z3, without contamination/against permanent tooth; P4 and Z4, with contamination/against permanent tooth; P5 and Z5, without contamination (control); P6 and Z6, with contamination (control). Tribocorrosion assays were performed using the pin-on-plate configuration under linear reciprocating sliding, in the presence of an artificial saliva solution and under 3 N load and 1 Hz frequency, totalizing 900 wear cycles during 15 minutes. The wear was characterized by SEM, EDX and XRD analyses and the wear volume was determined by mass variation analysis. The SEM analysis showed that the Z groups presented less wear than the P groups, and that the permanent tooth antagonists presented more worn material residues than the primary tooth antagonists. The XRD analysis did not reveal variation in the characterization of any of the samples, comparing the specimens before and after the experiments. The EDX analysis revealed peaks corresponding to the elements yttrium and silicon for the P groups\' antagonists and zircon for the Z groups\' antagonists. Data from the nanoindentation test did not show statistically significant difference for any of the groups (ANOVA and Duncan test p&le;0.05). For the mass variation analysis, no statistically significant difference was found between the composite resin specimens or antagonists in any of the groups. The shear bond strength results were: P1 11.20 (±1.44); P2 9.28 (±1.88); P3 8.94 (±1.03); P4 5.76 (±1.47); P5 17.50 (±3,28); P6 15,31 (±1.19); Z1 12.17 (±1.56); Z2 9,60 (±1.56); Z3 10.79 (±3.33); Z4 9.14 (±2.06); Z5 9.77 (±2.27) and Z6 9.22 (±1.98). The shear bond strength values were lower in the P groups subjected to salivary contamination. The ICP-MS analysis revealed greater calcium ion release in all groups. Regarding phosphate ion, greater release was observed in the solution resulting from the tribological assay when the P90 composite resin specimens were tested against permanent tooth antagonists. In conclusion, there were no chemical alterations on resin surface after the mechanical wear assay and P90 composite resin presented lower shear bond strength values than Z250 composite resin. Salivary contamination affected negatively in the shear bond strength values when P90 resin composite was evaluated. Teeth used as counterbody did not have their surface altered by the incorporation of composite resin wear residues, maintaining the modulus of elasticity and nano-hardness, and the wear was more accentuated in the Z250 composite resin restorations. There was greater release of calcium ions compared with phosphate ions in all analyzed situations and the release of phosphate ions increased when P90 was subjected to tribological assay against a permanent tooth antagonist. Tribochemical stimuli simulating the masticatory cycle interfered with the shear strength of composite resin P90.

A prevalência da obesidade tem aumentado em proporções alarmantes, tornando-se um problema de saúde pública. Há relatos de uma possível relação da obesidade com a condição bucal e o objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar os problemas bucais e seu impacto na qualidade de vida de indivíduos obesos mórbidos. A amostra foi composta por 100 pacientes obesos mórbidos (grupo obeso) e 50 indivíduos eutróficos (grupo controle), atendidos no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da USP. Os pacientes responderam um questionário socioeconômico e outro de qualidade de vida, o Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) e, em seguida, foi realizado o exame bucal. O índice International Caries Detection & Assessment System II (ICDAS II) foi utilizado para avaliar a cárie dentária; o Índice Periodontal Comunitário (IPC) e Perda de Inserção Periodontal (PIP) avaliaram as condições periodontais e o Índice de Desgaste Dentário (IDD) para avaliar a prevalência e severidade do desgaste. Ainda foram avaliados o fluxo salivar estimulado e o pH da saliva. Para análise estatística foram utilizados os testes T de Student, Qui-quadrado e Regressão Linear Múltipla. A média do OIDP foi de 13,06 ± 23,27 para o grupo obeso e 4,36 ± 10,92 para o grupo controle, indicando maior impacto da condição bucal no desempenho diário dos obesos (p=0,060). O grupo obeso apresentou maior prevalência e severidade de cárie (p=0,041) e de doença periodontal (p<0,050). Foi observada maior severidade de desgaste nos obesos (p<0,050). Ambos os grupos apresentaram fluxo salivar baixo, sendo significativamente menor entre os obesos (p=0,005). Após o ajuste da amostra, observou-se que as condições periodontais continuaram relacionadas à obesidade, enquanto que perda dentária, desgaste e fluxo salivar foram influenciados pela idade no grupo obeso e a cárie dentária pelo nível socioeconômico deste grupo. As condições de saúde bucal dos pacientes obesos mostraram-se piores em relação aos eutróficos, principalmente quanto à doença periodontal, o que contribuiu para um impacto negativo na qualidade de vida. / The prevalence of obesity has increased in alarming proportions, becoming a public health problem. There are reports of a possible relationship between obesity and oral condition and the objective of this study was to identify oral problems and their impact in quality of life of morbidly obese individuals. The sample was composed of 100 morbidly obese patients (obese group) and 50 normal weight patients (control group) examined at the School of Medicine Hospital of Ribeirão Preto- USP. The subjects answered a socioeconomic and a quality of life questionnaire, the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) and, in the sequence the dental examination was performed. The International Caries Detection & Assessment System II (ICDAS II) was used to evaluate tooth decay, the Community Periodontal Index (CPI) and Clinical Attachment Level (CAL) evaluated periodontal conditions and the Dental Wear Index evaluated the prevalence and severity of wear. Also were evaluated the stimulated salivary flow and the Ph of saliva. Students t test, Chi- Square and Multiple Regression were used for statistical analysis. The average OIDP was 13.06 ± 23.27 for the obese group and 4.36 ± 10.92 for the control group, indicating higher impact of oral health in the quality of life of obese individuals (p=0.060). The obese group showed greater prevalence and severity of decay (p=0.041) and of periodontal disease (p< 0.050). Both groups showed low salivary flow and it was significantly lower among obese (p=0.005). After adjustment of the sample, it was observed that the periodontal conditions related to obesity continued, while that tooth loss, dental wear and salivary flow were influenced by age in obese group and the dental decay by the socioeconomic level of this group. The oral health condition of obese patients appeared worse when compared to eutrophic, mainly regarding periodontal disease, which contributed to a negative impact on quality of life.

Com o controle da cárie dentária em muitos países e a permanência por mais tempo do elemento dentário na cavidade bucal, o desgaste dentário começou a despertar atenção da comunidade científica. Considerando os poucos estudos que abordam a incidência e progressão do desgaste em adolescentes, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a prevalência, incidência e a progressão do desgaste dentário em adolescentes de 15 anos de idade, estudantes de Rio Grande da Serra - São Paulo. A progressão do desgaste também foi estudada, associada com as variáveis independentes: gênero, fatores socioeconômicos (renda familiar e escolaridade da mãe) e ausência de elemento dentário na cavidade bucal. O primeiro exame foi realizado com 203 adolescentes entre os meses de outubro e novembro de 2011, e o reexame realizado após um ano e meio contando com 121 adolescentes. O desgaste dentário foi avaliado pelo índice de desgaste dentário (de Carvalho Sales-Peres). Uma cirurgiã-dentista previamente calibrada com o padrão ouro mostrou concordância de 80% e resultado do teste Kappa0,78 (+ 0,03). O resultado intra examinador obtido foi de 93% de concordância e teste Kappa 0,90 (+ 0,08). Nos dois exames, o desgaste dentário acometendo apenas o esmalte foi o mais comum, no entanto o desgaste em dentina foi observado em 2,1% das superfícies no primeiro exame passando para 8,6% no segundo exame e, 55,4% das superfícies não sofreram modificações entre os dois exames. A progressão do desgaste dentário acometendo a dentina foi de 6,6% das superfícies. Estudantes com renda familiar inferior a três salários mínimos e com mães que estudaram até o ensino fundamental apresentaram maior progressão do desgaste para dentina. Esta progressão não foi relacionada ao gênero e nem a ausência de elemento dentário. A prevalência de desgaste das superfícies dentárias destes estudantes foi elevada, porém com baixa severidade. / With the control of the dental caries in many countries and the permanence for more time of the dental elements in the oral cavity, the tooth wear started to attract the attention of the scientific community. Considering the few studies that have approached the wear incidence and progression in adolescents, the objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence and the progression of the tooth wear in 15-year-old adolescents who study in Rio Grande da Serra - São Paulo. The wear progression was also studied and associated with the independent variables: gender, socioeconomic factors (family income and the mother\'s education level) and the absence of the dental element in the oral cavity. The first examination was conducted with 203 adolescents between October and November of 2011, and the re-examination was conducted one year and a half later counting with 121 adolescents. The tooth wear was evaluated through the dental wear index (de Carvalho Sales-Peres). A dental surgeon previously calibrated with the gold standard showed a concordance of 80% and the result of the Kappa test of 0.78 (+ 0.03). The intra examiners result obtained was of 93% of concordance and the Kappa test 0.90 (+ 0.08). In both exams, the tooth wear affecting only the enamel was the most common one, however the dentin wear observed in 2.1% of the surfaces in the first exam went to 8.6% in the second exam and, 55.4% of the surfaces did not undergo modifications between both exams. The progression of the tooth wear affecting the dentin was of 6.6% of the surfaces. Students with family income lower than three minimum wages and with mothers who studied until the elementary school presented higher levels of dentin wear progression. This progression was not related to the gender neither to the absence of the dental element. Tooth wear prevalence of the dental surfaces of these students was high, however with low severity.

A má oclusão e o bruxismo são problemas que podem interferir na qualidade de vida de adolescentes. Este estudo observacional transversal e analítico teve como objetivo investigar a associação entre má oclusão e bruxismo, com a qualidade de vida de adolescentes entre 12-15 anos de idade. A amostra foi selecionada por conglomerado e composta por 370 adolescentes de ambos os gêneros, estudantes da rede estadual de ensino de Bauru-SP. A má oclusão foi medida pelo Dental Aesthetics Index (DAI). Para o bruxismo foram avaliadas as facetas de desgastes dos dentes por meio do Índice de Desgaste Dentário (IDD). Foram aplicados dois questionários, um para o bruxismo e o outro para a qualidade de vida (OHIP-14). O Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) foi calculado segundo normas da OMS. Teste Qui-quadrado, Correlação de Spearman, Mann-Whitney e Kruskall-Wallis foram aplicados (P<0,05). A má oclusão muito severa e o bruxismo foram mais prevalentes no gênero feminino, enquanto no masculino identificou-se a má oclusão definida. O bruxismo autorrelatado foi encontrado em 18,9% dos adolescentes. A maioria dos adolescentes apresentou peso normal. Bruxismo, apinhamento, mordida aberta, relação molar e desalinhamento maxilar estiveram relacionados à qualidade de vida (p<0,050). Bruxismo e alguns tipos de má oclusão interferem na qualidade de vida de adolescentes. / Malocclusion and bruxism are problems that can interfere with the quality of life in adolescents. This cross-sectional analytical study aimed to identify the association between malocclusion, bruxism and quality of life in adolescents aged 12-15 years. The sample is composed of 370 adolescents, both genders, students from state schools in Bauru, SP. The malocclusion was measured by the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). For bruxism was evaluated the wear of teeths faces through the Tooth Wear Index (TWI). Two questionnaires, one for bruxism and one for quality of life (OHIP-14) were applied, in addition, BMI was calculated according to WHO standards. Chi-square, Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test were applied (P<0.05). Very severe malocclusion and bruxism were more prevalent in females and defined malocclusion in males. Selft-related bruxism was found in 18.9% of adolescents. The majority of the adolescents had normal weight. Bruxism, crowding, open bite, molar relationship and maxillary misalignment were related to quality of life (P <0.05). Bruxism and some types of malocclusion interfere in the quality of life of adolescents.
