Este estudo, avaliou por meio de compressão, a resistência à fratura e o padrão de fratura de raízes fragilizadas reabilitadas com diferentes técnicas de construção de núcleos intra-radiculares. Quarenta incisivos bovinos hígidos foram divididos em quatro grupos de acordo com a técnica de construção de pinos intra-radiculares: Grupo 1- raízes fragilizadas reabilitadas com núcleo metálico fundido; Grupo 2- raízes fragilizadas reabilitadas com pinos de fibra de vidro e pinos acessórios de fibra de vidro; Grupo 3- raízes fragilizadas reabilitadas com pino anatômico direto (resina composta + pino de fibra de vidro) ; Grupo 4- raízes fragilizadas reabilitadas com pino anatômico indireto de fibra de vidro. Todos os grupos tiveram seus núcleos cimentados com o cimento resinoso Multilink e as porções coronárias padronizadas por uma matriz de resina acrílica. Os corpos de prova forma submetidos à Máquina de Ensaio Universal à uma velocidade de carga de 0,5mm/min até sua fratura numa angulação de 135° em relação ao longo eixo do dente sobre a face palatina. Os valores médios de resistência à fratura foram: Grupo 1- 575,54N; Grupo 2- 400,49N; Grupo 3- 483,39N; Grupo- 4 559,19N. A análise de variância (ANOVA) (p<0,05) a um critério mostrou diferença estatisticamente. O grupo 1 e 4 médias diferentes, porém estatisticamente iguais, mas maiores estaticamente que o grupo 2 e 3. Os percentuais de raízes com prognóstico favorável após a fratura foram: Grupo 1- 0%; Grupo 2- 80%; Grupo 3- 100% ; Grupo 4- 100%. Os pinos anatômicos direto e indireto mostraram ser uma nova opção para reabilitação de raízes fragilizadas. / The rehabilitation of weakened roots is a complex procedure with an unpredictable prognosis. This study evaluated by compression to fracture resistance and the fracture pattern of weakened roots restored with different construction techniques of intra-radicular posts. Forty hygid bovine incisors were divided into four groups according to each technique of construction of the intra-radicular posts: Group 1- weakened roots restored with metallic posts,; Group 2- weakened roots restored with glass fiber posts and accessory glass fiber posts; Group 3- weakened roots restored with direct anatomic posts (composite resin + glass fiber post); Group 4- weakened roots restored with indirect anatomic post (glass fiber post). All the groups were cemented with dual resinous cement (Multilink) and the coronal portions were patterned by an acrylic resin matrix. The specimens were submitted to a Universal Testing Machine at 0,5mm/min speed until its fracture at an angulation of 135° in relation to the long axis of the tooth. The mean values of fracture resistance were: Group 1- 575,54N; Group 2- 400,49N; Group 3- 483,39N; Group 4- 559,19N. The ANOVA values were (p<0,05) to one criteria showed statistic difference. Group 1 and the 4 different means were statistically the same, but statistically more than the ones of groups 2 and 3. The percentage of roots with favorable prognosis after fracture were: Group 1- 0%; Group 2- 80%; Group 3- 100%; Group 4- 100%. The direct and indirect anatomic post of glass fiber showed a new option to rehabilitate weakened roots.

Foram utilizados 60 caninos humanos com dimensões semelhantes, que tiveram a porção coronária seccionada ao nível da junção cemento-esmalte, padronizando as raízes em 17 mm. Os canais foram preparados por meio de instrumentação rotatória, obturados com cone de guta-percha e cimento AHPlus, sob condensação termomecânica, e incluídas em blocos de resinas autopolimerizável. As raízes foram divididas aleatoriamente em 3 grupos (n=20), de acordo com o material empregado na restauração, sendo: Grupo 1: Pino de fibra de vidro e núcleo com resina composta Z350; Grupo 2: Pino pré-fabricado metálico e núcleo com resina composta Z350; e Grupo 3: Núcleo metálico fundido em liga de Prata. Todas as raízes foram restauradas com copings metálicos e submetidas a ensaio mecânico de compressão a 45 graus em uma máquina universal de ensaios com célula de carga de 500 N e à uma velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Os valores de resistência à fratura foram submetidos à ANOVA one-way e teste de Tukey com nível de significância de 5% e, para exposição dos resultados foi usado o teste de Exato de Fisher. Não houve diferença estatística significante entre os valores de força para os grupos G1, G2 e G3 (p=0.193). Com relação ao padrão de fratura, o G1 apresentou 55% e o G2 45% de fratura do tipo I, consideradas fraturas reparáveis ou favoráveis, já o G3 apresentou 50% do tipo V, consideradas irreparáveis ou desfavoráveis. Conclui-se que os pinos de fibra de vidro e pinos pré-fabricados metálicos podem ser utilizados na restauração de dentes tratados endodonticamente, pois apresentaram fraturas envolvendo o núcleo de preenchimento, facilitando o reparo. / This study evaluated the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth with a simulated fragility in the canal and restored with the cementation of intracanal retainers. Sixty canines human with similar dimensions were used. The coronal portion of each tooth was sectioned at the line cement-enamel junction, standardizing the roots 17 mm. The root canal of each tooth was instrumented using nickel titanium rotary instruments, obturated with gutta-percha and epoxy resin root canal sealer AH Plus using thermoplastic gutta-percha technique, roots were embedded vertically in the centers of auto polymerizing acrylic resin blocks. The roots were randomly divided into three groups (n=20), according to the material used in restoration, as follows: Group 1: Fiber glass post and core with composite resin Z350; Group 2: Prefabricated steel post and core with composite resin Z350; Group 3: Cast Ni-Cr alloy post. All the roots were restored with metal copings and subjected loading at to mechanical compression test at 45 degrees in a universal testing machine, until a force of 500 N and speed of 0.5 mm/min. The value of fracture resistance was analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test, with a significance level of 5%. Chi-squared test was conducted for evaluation of the fracture modes. No significant difference was detected between the values of fracture resistance among group G1, G2 e G3 (p=0.193). According to the fracture mode, the G1 showed 55% and 45% of the G2 type I fracture, considered repairable or favorable fractures, since the G3 showed 50% type V, considered irreparable or unfavorable. It was conclude that the fiberglass and prefabricated steel posts, along with auto polymerized resin cement Multilink can be used in the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, it had fractures involving the core that facilitating repair.

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / The treatment objectives in the restoration of an endodontically treated tooth are maximum retention of post and core and to create a design in which the tooth is preserved when the restoration fails. The ferrule effect in root treated teeth requiring cast post and core has been studied extensively and has been shown to greatly improve fracture resistance (Gluskin et al 1995, Libman & Nicholls, 1995. Hemmings et al, 1991. Barkhordar et al, 1989. Rosen & Partida-Rivera, 1986). Studies have also shown that in the case of cast post and core, the longer the ferrule, the greater the fracture resistance (Libman and Nicholls, 1995). The use of the new bonding agents, composite resin cements and core materials, have led to a more conservative approach to post and core restorations. However few studies have considered the effect of different ferrule designs on prefabricated post and composite core systems (Volwiler et al 1989, Al Hazaimeh and Gutteridge 2001). There is little information as to whether the ferrule is of additional value in providing reinforcement in these restorations. This study investigated the effects of different ferrule designs on the fracture resistance of teeth incorporating prefabricated posts and composite cores. In addition teeth restored with a composite core but with no prefabricated post were included in the study to assess the necessity of a post in the restoration of endodonticallytreated teeth. Sixty extracted maxillary incisors (centrals and laterals) and carunes were randomly assigned into three groups and restored. Two groups had a prefabricated post and composite core with varying ferrule designs. A third group had a core with composite packed into the root canal but no post. All teeth were restored with cast crowns to simulate the clinical situation. A Zwick universal testing machine was used to apply compressive loads progressively on the restored teeth until failure occurred as a result of either root, tooth or post fracture. Failure loads, modes of fracture, post and core systems and tooth preparation were recorded and statistically analysed. The results showed no significant difference in the amount of force needed to break the teeth in the different groups irrespective of whether the teeth had a ferrule or not. They also showed no significant difference in the amount of force needed to break the teeth in the different groups irrespective of whether the teeth had a post or not.

Road administrators have to make decisions regarding the maintenance and rehabilitation of many existing jointed Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements in the road network. Since these pavements are in general expensive to rehabilitate, agencies often opt for overlaying the deteriorated PCC pavement with Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), resulting in a composite pavement. Unfortunately, the tensile stresses and strains at the bottom of the overlay developed from the movement of the joints, which are caused by the traffic and the changes in temperature, will create cracks on the surface known as reflective cracking. Reflective cracking can reduce the life of a pavement by allowing water or other particles to get into the underlying layers, which causes the pavement structure to lose strength. To improve the performance of the composite pavement, road agencies have studied mitigations techniques to delay the initiation and propagation of those cracks reflected from the PCC joints and cracks. Traditionally, these studies have relied only on laboratory testing or nondestructive tests. This dissertation expands the traditional approach by adding full-scale Accelerate Pavement Testing (APT) to a laboratory effort to investigate enhanced asphalt overlays that delay the initiation and propagation of cracks reflected from the PCC joints. The study was organized into three complementary experiments. The first experiment included the first reflective cracking study of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays over jointed Portland cement concrete pavements (PCCP) conducted at the Virginia APT facility. A Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) was used to compare the reflective cracking performance of a Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) control mix with a modified mix with a synthetic fiber. The discussion includes the characterization of the asphalt mixes, the pavement structure, construction layout, the equipment used, the instrumentation installed, and lessons learned. Results showed that the fiber-modified mix had a higher resistance to fracture, which increases the pavement life by approximately 50%. The second experiment compared the cracking resistance of the same control and modified mixes in the laboratory. Four cracking resistance tests were performed on each mix. These four tests are: (1) Indirect Tensile Asphalt Cracking Test (IDEAL-CT), which measures the Cracking Test index (CTindex); (2) Semicircular Bend Test-Illinois (SCB-IL), which measures the critical strain energy release rate (Jc); (3) Semicircular Bend-Louisiana Transportation Research Center (SCB-LTRC), which measures the Flexibility Index (FI); and (4) Overlay Test (OT), which measures the Cracking Propagation Rate (CPR). The results from the four tests showed that the fiber-modified mix had a better resistance to cracking, confirming the APT test results. The laboratory assessment also suggested that the IDEAL-CT and SCB-IL test appear to be the most practical for implementation. The third phase evaluated the performance of mixes designed with a high content of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and an enhanced asphalt-rubber extender, which comprises three primary components: plain soft bitumen, fine crumb rubber and an Activated Mineral Binder Stabilizer (AMBS). The experiment evaluated the fracture resistance of nine mixes designed with different rates of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and asphalt-rubber, compare them with a traditional mix, and propose an optimized mixture for use in overlays of concrete pavements. The mixes were designed with different rates of RAP (15, 30, 45%) and asphalt-rubber extender (0, 30, and 45%) following generally, the design requirements for an SMA mix in Virginia. The laboratory test recommended in the second experiment, IDEAL-CT and SCB-IL, were used to determine the fracture resistance of the mixes. The results showed that the addition of RAP decreases fracture resistance, but the asphalt-rubber extender improves it. A mix designed that replaced 30% of the binder with asphalt-rubber extender and 15% RAP had the highest resistance to fracture according to both. Also, as expected, all the mixed had a low susceptibility to rutting. / Doctor of Philosophy / Reflective cracking can reduce the life of a pavement by allowing water or other particles to get into the underlying layers, which causes the pavement structure to lose strength. To improve the performance of the composite pavement, road agencies have studied mitigations techniques that will delay the initiation and propagation of those cracks reflected from the PCC joints. Traditionally, these studies rely only on laboratory testing or nondestructive tests that will assist in the decision-making stage in a short time manner. This dissertation focusses on a reflective cracking study conducted through Accelerate Pavement Testing (APT) using a Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) and laboratory testing. The first task used an HVS to evaluate reflective cracking of a Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) control mix and a modified mix with synthetic fiber. One lane was constructed with two layers of 1.5-inches of a control Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) mix and the second lane with an SMA mix modified with the synthetic fiber. Results from APT demonstrated that the modified SMA has a higher resistance to fracture which increases the pavement life by approximately 50%. The second task estimated the fracture resistance of the mixes studied in task one following the laboratory test: Indirect Tension Asphalt Cracking Test (IDEAL-CT), Texas Overlay Test (OT), Semi-Circular Bend-Louisiana Transportation Research Center (SCB-LTRC) and Semi-Circular Bend-Illinois (SCB-IL) to estimate the Cracking Test Index (CTindex), Cracking Propagation Rate (CPR), critical strain energy release rate (Jc) and Flexibility Index (FI), respectively. Results showed that the modified mix had a better resistance to cracking, confirming the APT test results. Specifically, CTindex results showed that the modified mix is more resistant than the control, with indices of 268.72 and 67.86. The estimated Jc indicated that less energy is required to initiate a crack for the control mix that achieved 0.48 kJ/m2 compared to the modified mix with synthetic fibers 0.54 kJ/m2. FI results for the control and fibers were 2.16 and 10.71, respectively. The calculated CPR showed that the control mix propagates a crack at a higher rate of 0.188 compared to the modified mix with a CPR of 0.152. The third phase evaluated the performance of mixes designed with a high content of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and an enhanced asphalt-rubber extender, which comprises three primary components: plain soft bitumen, fine crumb rubber and an Activated Mineral Binder Stabilizer (AMBS). The experiment evaluated the fracture resistance of nine mixes designed with different rates of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and asphalt-rubber, compare them with a traditional mix, and propose an optimized mixture for use in overlays of concrete pavements. The mixes were designed with different rates of RAP (15, 30, 45%) and asphalt-rubber extender (0, 30, and 45%) following generally, the design requirements for an SMA mix in Virginia. The laboratory test recommended in the second experiment, IDEAL-CT and SCB-IL, were used to determine the fracture resistance of the mixes. The results showed that the addition of RAP decreases fracture resistance, but the asphalt-rubber extender improves it. A mix designed that replaced 30% of the binder with asphalt-rubber extender and 15% RAP had the highest resistance to fracture according to both.

Conexões em cone morse foram desenvolvidas para melhorar as propriedades biomecânicas e reduzir os problemas mecânicos encontrados nos sistemas de hexágono externo e interno. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de dois estudos que investigaram as propriedades biomecânicas da conexão implante/pilar protético em implantes do sistema cone morse. A proposta do primeiro estudo foi avaliar o efeito do carregamento mecânico na perda de torque de pilares protéticos do sistema cone morse, e o efeito de ciclos sucessivos de inserção/remoção no torque de remoção destes pilares. 69 implantes cônicos foram utilizados. Os implantes e pilares foram divididos em 4 grupos: grupos 1 e 3 receberam pilares sólidos, e os grupos 2 e 4(a,b) receberam os pilares com parafuso trespassante. Nos grupos 1 e 2 os torques de instalação foram medidos, os pilares foram removidos, e os torques de remoção foram medidos; dez ciclos de inserção/remoção foram realizados para cada conjunto implante/pilar. Nos grupos 3 e 4(a,b) os pilares foram instalados e carregados mecanicamente; os pilares foram removidos e os torques de remoção foram medidos; dez ciclos de inserção/carregamento mecânico/remoção foram realizados para cada conjunto implante/pilar. Os dados foram analizados com o teste de Student-Newman-Keuls, com um nível de significância de p &le; 0,05%. A perda de torque foi maior nos grupos 4a e 2 (acima de 30%); seguidos pelo grupo 1 (10,5%); grupo 3 (5,4%); e grupo 4b (39% de ganho de torque). Todos os resultados foram significativamente diferentes. A comparação do número de ciclos mostrou que, com o aumento do número de ciclos de inserção/remoção, houve uma tendência de aumento na perda de torque, para todos os tipos de pilares e grupos. Concluiu-se que o carregamento mecânico aumentou o torque de remoção dos pilares carregados em comparação a pilares não-carregados, e que os valores dos torques de remoção decaíram conforme o número de ciclos de inserção/remoção aumentou. O objetivo do segundo estudo foi verificar se as diferenças estruturais entre os sistemas de implantes com conexão em hexágono internos e em cone morse influenciam sua resistência à fratura. Vinte implantes cônicos com dimensões de 4,4mm de diâmetro por 13mm de comprimento foram utilizados: 10 com conexão em hexágono interno (HI) e 10 com conexão em cone morse (CM) de 11,5&deg;. Vinte pilares foram utilizados, 10 para os implantes HI (com um parafuso trespassante de fixação), e 10 para os implantes CM (sólidos). Os testes foram realizados em uma máquina universal de ensaios, com uma célula de carga de 500 kgf, deslocamento de 1mm/min, numa inclinação de 45&deg; a força máxima de deformação (FMD) e a força de fratura (FF) foram analisadas. As informações coletadas foram analizadas com um teste paramétrico (teste \"t\" de Student, p &le; 0,05). A média da FMD para os implantes CM [90.58(6.72)kgf] foi estatisticamente superior à média da FMD para os implantes HI [83.73(4.94)kgf] (p=0.0182). A média da FF para os implantes HI foi 79.86(4.77)kgf. Nenhum dos implantes CM fraturou. Por meio de microscopia óptica, verificou-se que as fraturas nos implantes HI sempre ocorreram no parafuso de fixação. Embora os implantes CM não tenham fraturado, eles sofreram deformações permanentes em sua plataforma e no pilar protético. É possível concluir que o desenho sólido dos pilares CM proporciona maior resistência à deformação e à fratura em comparação aos pilares HI. / Internal tapered connections were developed to improve biomechanical properties and to reduce mechanical problems found in external and internal hex implants. This work presents the results of two studies that investigated the biomechanical properties of the implant/abutment connection in implants with internal tapered connections. The purpose of the first study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical loading on the torque loss of abutments with internal tapered connections, and the effect of repeated torque cycles on the removal torque of these abutments. 68 conical implants and two abutment types were used. The implants and abutments were divided into 4 groups: groups 1 and 3 received the solid abutments, groups 2 and 4(a,b) received the trespassing screw abutments. In groups 1 and 2 installation torques of the abutments were measured, the abutments were uninstalled, and removal torques were measured; ten insertion/removal cycles were performed for each implant/abutment assembly. In groups 3 and 4(a,b) the abutments were installed, mechanically loaded, uninstalled, and removal torques were measured; ten insertion/mechanical loading/removal cycles were performed for each implant/abutment assembly. Data were analyzed with the Student-Newman-Keuls test, with a significance level of p &le; 0.05. Torque loss was greater in groups 4a and 2 (over 30%), followed by group 1 (10.5%), group 3 (5.4%) and group 4b (39% torque gain). All results were significantly different. The comparison of the number of cycles showed that, as the insertion/removal cycles increased, removal torques tended to be lower, for all abutment types and groups. It was concluded that mechanical loading increased loosening torque of loaded abutments in comparison to unloaded abutments, and removal torque values decrease as the number of insertion/removal cycles increase. The objective of the second study was to verify if the differences in the design of the internal hex and the internal tapered connection implant systems influence their fracture resistance. Twenty tapered implants with dimensions of 4.3mm X 13mm were utilized: 10 with an internal hex (IH) connection and 10 with an 11.5&deg; conical tapered (CT) connection. Twenty abutments were utilized, 10 for the IH implants (with a trespassing fixation screw), and 10 for the CT implants (solid). The tests were carried out in a universal testing machine, with a 500kgf load cell, 1mm/min dislocation, and 45 degrees angulation. The maximum deformation force (MDF) and the fracture force (FF) were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed with a parametric test (Student\'s t, p<.05). The average MDF for the CT implants [90.58(6.72)kgf] was statistically higher than the average MDF for the IH implants [83.73(4.94)kgf] (p=0.0182). The average FF for the IH implants was 79.86(4.77)kgf. None of the CT implants fractured. By means of optical micrography, it was verified that the fractures in the IH implants occurred always in the fixation screw. Although the CT implants did not fracture, they showed permanent deformations in the abutment and in the platform. It is possible to conclude that the solid design of the CT abutments provides greater resistance to deformation and fracture when compared to the IH abutments.

As restaurações metalocerâmicas apresentam relatos de sucesso clínico a longo prazo e as características de reforço (cinta lingual e poste proximal) das infra-estruturas metálicas parecem ser de grande importância para este sucesso. Estes reforços freqüentemente estão ausentes nas infraestruturas das restaurações ceramocerâmicas. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar a hipótese nula de que coroas confeccionadas com infra-estruturas cerâmicas com desenho com e sem reforço não resultam em valores de resistência à fratura diferentes de coroas com infra-estruturas metálicas confeccionadas com os mesmos desenhos. Para a realização deste trabalho foram fabricadas 40 coroas, dividas em quatro grupos (n=10): (1) coroas metalocerâmicas - infra-estrutura com reforço; (2) coroas metalocerâmicas - infra-estrutura sem reforço; (3) coroas ceramocerâmicas - infra-estrutura com reforço; e (4) coroas ceramocerâmicas - infra-estrutura sem reforço. Os corpos de prova foram cimentados com ionômero de vidro modificado por resina nos troquéis metálicos e submetidos à análise de resistência à fratura usando uma máquina de teste universal Kratos, a uma velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Todos os corpos de prova foram mantidos sob pressão até a fratura. Os resultados de resistência à fratura (kgf) foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA) a dois critérios e ao teste de Tukey. O nível de significância considerado em todas as análises foi de 5% (p<0,05). Os valores médios de resistência à fratura foram de 237,637 kgf para as coroas metalocerâmicas com infraestruturas com reforço, 171,738 kgf para as coroas metalocerâmicas com infraestruturas com reforço, 127,588 kgf para as coroas ceramocerâmicas com infra-estruturas com reforço e 93,914 kgf para as coroas ceramocerâmicas com infra-estruturas sem reforço, com diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05), entre os quatro grupos. As coroas metalocerâmicas com reforço (Grupo 1) apresentaram o maior valor de resistência à fratura e estatisticamente significante, entre todos os grupos. As coroas confeccionadas com infra-estruturas com reforço apresentaram maior resistência à fratura do que as confeccionadas sem reforço, tanto nas coroas metalocerâmicas como nas ceramocerâmicas. / Metal-ceramic restorations present reports of long-term clinical success, and the characteristics of reinforcement coping (lingual collar and buttressing shoulder) seem to be of great importance for this success. These reinforcements are often absent in all-ceramic coping restorations. The aim of the current study was to evaluate and compare the in vitro fracture resistance of metal-ceramic and In-Ceram Alumina all-ceramic crowns, with and without reinforced coping design. Forty crowns were fabricated and divided into four groups (n=10): group 1, metal-ceramic crown with reinforced coping design; group 2, metal-ceramic crown without reinforced coping design; group 3, allceramic crown with reinforced coping design and group 4, all-ceramic crown with out reinforced coping design. The forty crowns were cemented on stainless steel dies and axially loaded in a universal testing machine until fracture occurred, and the maximum load (kgf) was recorded. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test (p<0.05) The results showed a statistical significant superiority (p<0.05) of the reinforcement coping groups (237.637 kgf for metalo-ceramic crowns and 127.588 kgf for all-ceramic crowns), regarding to non reinforcement coping groups (171.738 kgf for metalo ceramic crowns and 93.914 kgf for all-ceramic crowns). These founds denote that: (1) crowns made with reinforcement coping had presented greater fracture resistance than those confectioned without it and (2) metal-ceramic crowns had presented greater fracture resistance than all-ceramic crowns.

Materials and methods: 70 third healthy molars extracted were divided into 7 groups (n = 10): (all groups except H received root canal treatment) H-sound; Z250PT ? horizontally transfixed fiberglass post + Z250 composite resin; Z250FO ? Z250 + occlusal fiberglass tape; Z250FP ? Z250 + fiberglass tape along the floor of the pulp chamber; PREP-only cavity preparation; COL ? Restored with Coltosol. After the restorative procedures, the samples were subjected to 250,000 cycles of mechanical testing fatigue under 200N. Right after, the samples were submitted to the fracture resistance testing and the analysis of the type of fracture which were classified as follows: Pulp chamber floor (non-repairable) or cusps (repairable). Results: (means (N) followed by the same letter do not present statistical difference to ANOVA and Tukey (p > 0.05): H 3832A; Z250PT 2726B; Z250FO 1647C; Z250FP 1548C; Z250 1622C; PREP 514D; COL 450D. Conclusion: The restorative technique that presents higher resistance to the fracture as well as higher percentage of repairable failures is horizontal transfixing with fiberglass post, Z250PT group. The insertion of fiberglass tape into the composite resin did not present improvement in the resistance, nor in the fracture pattern, when compared to the use of traditional composite resin. / Objetivo: Avaliar, in vitro, a resist?ncia ? fratura e o padr?o de falha de dentes tratados endodonticamente restaurados com diferentes t?cnicas restauradoras diretas. Materiais e M?todos: Setenta terceiros molares h?gidos extra?dos foram divididos em 7 grupos (n=10) assim distribu?dos: (todos os grupos exceto H receberam endodontia) H- h?gidos; Z250PT ? pino de fibra de vidro transfixado horizontalmente + resina composta Z250; Z250FO ? Z250+fita de fibra de vidro oclusal; Z250FP ? Z250 + fita de fibra de vidro junto ao assoalho da c?mara pulpar; PREP ? apenas preparo cavit?rio; COL ? restaurado com material provis?rio Coltosol. Ap?s o t?rmino das restaura??es as amostras foram submetidas a 250 mil ciclos de fadiga mec?nica sob 200N. Em seguida, foi realizado o ensaio de resist?ncia ? fratura e a an?lise do tipo de fratura p?sensaio as quais foram classificadas em: assoalho da c?mara pulpar (irrepar?vel) ou c?spides (repar?vel). Resultados: (m?dias (N) seguidas de mesma letra n?o apresentam diferen?a estat?stica para ANOVA e Tukey (p>0,05): H 3832A; Z250PT 2726B; Z250FO 1647C; Z250FP 1548C; Z250 1622C; PREP 514D; COL 450D. Conclus?o: A t?cnica restauradora que apresenta maior resist?ncia ? fratura. bem como maior percentual de falhas repar?veis ? a transfixa??o horizontal com pino de fibra de vidro, grupo Z250PT.

Materials and methods: Forty RN (regular-neck, Straumann) implant analogs and 4.0 mm solid abutments (Straumann) were embedded in acrylic resin and divided into 5 groups (n = 8): 1) e.max CAD; 2) Celtra Duo; 3) Incoris zirconia TZI; 4) 0.6 mm zirconia coping + e.max CAD; 5) 0.3 mm zirconia coping + e.max CAD. After preparation of the specimens, they were subjected to mechanical fatigue testing with 200N and 500,000 cycles. Following, the samples were submitted to the fracture resistance testing. Results: the means in Newtons (N) were as follows: e.max CAD 210.6Na ? 1447; Celtra Duo 2026Nb ? 355.8; zirconia TZI 2850Nc ? 287.6; 0.6 mm coping + e.max CAD 851Nd ? 108.1; 0.3 mm coping + e.max CAD 980Nd ? 133. Conclusion: monolithic translucent zirconia crowns cemented on solid abutments showed the higher fracture resistance in comparison to lithium dissilicate (e.max CAD) and lithium silicate reinforced by zirconia (Celtra Duo). The use of a zirconia coping associated with lithium dissilicate does not promote superior fracture resistance than monolithic crowns regardless of the thickness of coping and veneering ceramics. / Objetivos: 1) Avaliar a resist?ncia ? fratura de coroas cer?micas de dissilicato de l?tio, silicato de l?tio refor?ada por zirc?nia e zirc?nia transl?cida cimentadas sobre pilares s?lidos; 2) Avaliar se a presen?a de um coping em zirc?nia pode aumentar a resist?ncia ? fratura de coroas de dissilicato de l?tio quando comparadas ?s cer?micas monol?ticas confeccionadas em dissilicato de l?tio, zirc?nia transl?cida ou silicato de l?tio refor?ada por zirc?nia cimentadas sobre pilares s?lidos. Materiais e m?todos: Quarenta an?logos de implantes RN (regular neck, Straumann) e pilares s?lidos 4.0mm (Straumann) foram inclu?dos em resina acr?lica e divididos em 5 grupos (n=8) os quais receberam as seguintes coroas prot?ticas cimentadas: 1) e.max CAD; 2) Celtra Duo; 3) zirc?nia Incoris TZI; 4) coping zirc?nia 0,6mm + e.max CAD; 5) coping zirc?nia 0,3mm + e.max CAD. Ap?s confec??o dos corpos de prova os mesmos foram submetidos ? fadiga mec?nica com carga de 200N e 500.000 ciclos. Na sequ?ncia foram submetidos ao ensaio de carga m?xima de carregamento. Resultados: as m?dias de resist?ncia ? fratura obtidas foram: e.max CAD 1447Na ? 210,6; Celtra Duo 2026Nb ? 355,8; zirc?nia TZI 2850Nc ? 287,6; coping 0,6mm + e.max CAD 851Nd ? 108,1; coping 0,3mm + e.max CAD 980Nd ? 133. Conclus?o: Coroas monol?ticas realizadas em zirc?nia transl?cida cimentadas sobre pilares s?lidos apresentaram a maior resist?ncia ? fratura quando comparadas ao dissilicato de l?tio (e.max CAD) e silicato de l?tio refor?ado por zirc?nia (Celtra Duo). O uso de um coping de zirc?nia associado ao dissilicato de l?tio n?o promove resist?ncia ? fratura superior as coroas monol?ticas independentemente das espessuras do coping e da cer?mica de cobertura.
