O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar ex vivo a resistência de união de pinos de fibra de vidro (FV) e pinos de fibra de carbono (FC) nos terços cervical, médio e apical do canal radicular, cimentados com dois tipos de cimentos resinosos: auto-adesivo (RX) e convencionais (CP). Quarenta caninos superiores foram separados em 4 grupos (n = 10) de acordo com o cimento e pino utilizado. Após a secção transversal dos dentes em fatias de 2mm de espessura, o teste de resistência adesiva (0,5mm/min) foi realizado nos terços cervical, médio e apical de cada espécime. Cinco espécimes de cada grupo foram analisados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura para observar o tipo de fratura. Os dados foram submetidos à 2-way ANOVA (Bonferroni, p< 0,05). Os resultados mostraram que os pinos de FV apresentaram os maiores valores de resistência adesiva, tanto cimentados com RX quanto com CP. Analisando especificamente o tipo de cimento, pinos cimentados com RX (FV e FC) apresentaram maiores valores de resistência adesiva (p<0,05) que CP. Para todos os grupos em estudo, a resistência de união foi maior no terço cervical, seguido pelo terço médio e apical. A análise de fratura mostrou predominância de fratura coesiva de pino para RX, sendo que para os pinos cimentados com CP houve predominância de fratura adesiva entre dentina/cimento e mista. Pode-se concluir que a resistência de união foi significativamente afetada pelo tipo de pino e também pelo tipo de cimento utilizado, sendo que os mais altos valores de resistência de união foram encontrados com a utilização de pinos de FV e cimento RX. / The objective of this study was to evaluate ex vivo the Bond strength of glass-fiber posts (GF) and carbon-fiber posts (CF) to cervical, medium, and apical thirds of root canals after luting with two types of resinous cements: Self-adhesive (RX) and conventional (CP). Forty maxillary canines were divided into 4 groups (n=10) according to the luting cement and fiber post used. After roots were perpendicularly sectioned in 2mm-thick slices, bond strength teste (0.5mm/min) were perform in coronal, midlle and apical thirds. Five specimens were selected from each group for analysis in Scanning Electron Microscopy to observe the type of fracture. The data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA (Bonferonis test, p<0.05). The results showed that highest bond strength values to GF, for both luting cements (RX and CP). Regard the type of luting cement, posts (GF and CF) luting with RX had the best performance (p<0.05) that CP. For all groups, bond strength values were higher at cervical third, followed by midlle and apical thirds. The failure analysis demonstrated a predominance of post-cohesive failure for RX, and dentin-adhesive-cement and mixed failure for CP. It was concluded that bond strength was affected by the type of fiber post and type of luting cement, where the highest bond strength values were showed by GF-post and RX-luting cement.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The cementation procedure is the key to long-term success of fixed restorations. The prognosis of prosthetic restoration is largely impacted by the maintenance of the luting cement and the adhesive bond. When exposed to water or saliva, most restorative materials undergo hydrolytic degradation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the water solubility and water sorption characteristics of newly introduced acidic polymeric luting agents over a 180-day water-storage period. Nine different luting agents were tested. Fifty-two disc specimens of each material were fabricated using a mold with an internal dimension of 15[plus-minus]0.1 mm in diameter and 1.0 [plus-minus]0.1 mm deep. A constant weight, W0 [subscript zero], was reached after desiccating the specimens. Then, 13 specimens were assigned randomly to one of the four testing periods in the water for seven, 30, 90 and 180 days. After each period, the specimens were removed from the water and weighed to get W1 [subscript one]. A second period of desiccating the samples provided a constant weight W2 [subscript two]. The water sorption and solubility were determined by the following equations: WSP [subscript SP](%) = (W1 [subscript one] W2 [subscript two] ) X 100/ W0 [subscript zero] ,WSL [subscript SL](%) = (W0 [subscript zero] W2 [subscript two) X 100/ W0 [subscript zero]. The resin-modified glass-ionomers showed the highest water sorption/solubility results. The resin luting agents had the lowest sorption/solubility results. The self-adhesives showed a wide range of solubility/sorption; in general, they showed lower results compared with the resin-modified glass-ionomers. All the materials reached some sort of equilibrium after 90-days. Based on the results of our study, we conclude that self-adhesive luting materials were not all alike. Rely X Unicem was the most comparable to the resin luting materials. The resin luting materials had the lowest solubility and sorption. Resin-modified glass-ionomers showed the highest sorption/solubility results.

An experimental photocurable resin blend composed with 50 wt% of Bis-GMA and 50 wt% of TEGDMA was obtained. To study the influence nanoparticle loading, five different experimental resin luting agents were prepared with a total mass fraction of 60% of inorganic fillers. Silanated 2-μm barium borosilicate glass microparticles and 7-nm silica nanoparticles were used; the mass fraction of nanoparticles was set at 0 (control), 1 (G1), 2.5 (G2.5), 5 (G5) and 10% (G10). To study the influence of coupling agents, the resin blend was loaded with a 60% mass fraction of inorganic fillers (59/1 mass ratio of micro/nanoparticles) of Ba-B-Al-Si glass and colloidal silica coated with 5 wt% of TSPM, PAM or CAM; no filler treatment was performed in the control group. The properties evaluated were flexural strength () and modulus (Ef), Knoop hardness number (KHN), and film thickness (FT). Dispersion/interaction of particles with the resin phase was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The degree of conversion (DC) was evaluated only to study the influence of coupling agents. Data were submitted to statistical analysis (5%). Results for nanoparticle loading: for , G1 > G2.5 = G5 = G10, and control > G10. For Ef, G2.5 > control = G1 > G5 > G10. For KHN, G5 = G10 > control = G1 = G2.5. For FT, control = G1 < G5 = G10, and G2.5 < G10. Incorporation of nanoparticles was associated with observation of clusters in the SEM analysis. Results for different coupling agents: for  and Ef, TSPM > CAM > control > PAM. For KHN, TSPM > CAM > PAM = control. For FT, TSPM < control < CAM < PAM. The SEM analysis revealed clustering of nanoparticles for all groups and better interaction between the organic-inorganic phases for TSPM and CAM. No significant differences in DC were observed. The results demonstrated that moderate incorporation of silanated silica nanoparticles may improve the properties of hybrid resin cements. However, mass fraction above 2.5% had a detrimental effect on the luting agent properties and the increase of clusters is associated with the increase of nanoparticles. The use of TSPM generated agents with improved properties as compared with the acidic methacrylates, with CAM showing better performance than PAM. The use of PAM generated agents with properties usually poorer compared with the material with no coupling agent. / O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a influência da incorporação de nanopartículas e o uso de silano (TSPM), monômero ácido fosfatado (PAM) ou monômero ácido carboxilado (CAM) como agentes de união nas propriedades de cimentos resinosos experimentais. Uma matriz resinosa fotopolimerizável modelo foi desenvolvida com 50% de Bis-GMA e 50% de TEGDMA. Para observar o comportamento da incorporação de nanopartículas, cinco cimentos resinosos experimentais foram preparados pela adição de 60% (em massa) de micropartículas de bário borosilicato de vidro (2μm) e nanopartículas de sílica coloidal (7nm). As nanopartículas foram utilizadas nas seguintes proporções (em massa): 0 (controle), 1 (G1), 2.5 (G2.5), 5 (G5) e 10% (G10). Para estudar a influência dos agentes de união, 60% (em massa) de partículas inorgânicas (59/1 de micro/nanopartículas) de vidro de Ba-B-Al-Si e sílica coloidal, cobertas com 5% de TSPM, PAM ou CAM, foram acrescidas à matriz resinosa; o grupo controle foi composto por partículas não tratadas. As propriedades avaliadas foram resistência flexural (), módulo de elasticidade (Ef), número de dureza Knoop (KHN) e espessura de película (FT).A dispersão/interação das partículas com a fase resinosa foi avaliada com microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV). O grau de conversão (DC) foi avaliado somente para estudar a influência dos diferentes agentes de união. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística (5%). Resultados para incorporação de nanopartículas: para , G1 > G2.5 = G5 = G10 e controle > G10. Para Ef, G2.5 > controle = G1 > G5 > G10. Para KHN, G5 = G10 > controle = G1 = G2.5. Para FT, controle = G1 < G5 = G10 e G2.5 < G10. Nas análises em MEV, a presença de aglomerados foi associada à incorporação de nanopartículas. Resultados para a utilização de diferentes agentes de união: para e Ef, TSPM > CAM > controle > PAM. Para KHN, TSPM > CAM > PAM = controle. Para FT, TSPM < controle < CAM < PAM. As análises em MEV revelaram aglomerados de nanopartículas em todos os grupos e melhor interação entre as fases orgânica/inorgânica para TSPM e CAM. Não foram observadas diferenças para o DC. Os resultados demonstraram que a incorporação moderada de nanopartículas de sílica silanizada pode beneficiar as propriedades dos cimentos resinosos híbridos. Entretanto, proporções de nanopartículas acima de 2,5% possuem um efeito prejudicial nas propriedades destes cimentos, e seu aumento está associado com o aumento da presença de aglomerados. O uso de TSPM gerou cimentos com melhores propriedades quando comparado ao uso de monômeros ácidos, o CAM demonstrou melhor desempenho que o PAM. O uso do PAM gerou cimentos com propriedades inferiores a cimentos sem a utilização de agentes de união.
