O estabelecimento de uma união forte e durável entre material reparador e substrato da restauração fraturada é essencial para o sucesso do reparo. Este estudo avaliou a resistência ao cisalhamento entre diferentes sistemas de reparo e liga de NiCr e a durabilidade desta união após armazenamento em água por um longo período. Foram confeccionados 100 discos (9 OE 3 mm) em liga de NiCr. Esses foram incluídos em anel de PVC com resina acrílica e tiveram suas superfícies regularizadas com lixas (120, 220 e 320) em politriz. Cada espécime recebeu um dos seguintes tratamentos: 1) Clearfil SE Bond, 2)Bistite II DC, 3)Cojet, 4) Scotchbond Multi Uso Plus (Grupo controle), e 5) uma variação do Grupo controle, na qual foram empregadas partículas de sílica do sistema Cojet Sand em substituição às de óxido de alumínio. Os espécimes foram armazenados água destilada a 37ºC por 24 horas, termociclados (1.000 ciclos - 5º e 55ºC) e, então, armazenados nas mesmas condições descritas anteriormente, por um período adicional de 24 horas ou 6 meses. O ensaio de cisalhamento foi realizado em máquina de ensaios Material Test System 810 com velocidade de 0,5 mm/minuto. Para cada período de armazenamento, os resultados foram analisados por meio de análise de variância (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey. Para cada sistema, os valores obtidos às 24 horas foram comparados aos encontrados após 6 meses empregando-se teste t de Student não pareado. / When clinical fractures of metal-ceramic prostheses occur, exposing the metal substructure, repair may be considered a challenge. The clinical success of repair depends on establishing a strong and long-term durable bond between the repair material and the metal surface of the failed restoration. This study evaluated shear bond strength of different repair systems to NiCr alloy and bond durability after long-term water storage. One hundred cylindrical specimens (9 OE 3 mm) were fabricated in a nickel-chromium alloy. The NiCr cylinders were embedded in a PVC ring and all specimen bonding surfaces were smoothed with silicon carbide papers (120, 220, and 320 grit) using a polisher. Specimens were divided into 5 groups of 20, which received one of the following bonding and resin composite repair systems (n=10): 1) Clearfil SE Bond/Clearfil AP-X, 2) Bistite II DC/Palfique, 3) Cojet /Z100, 4) Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus /Z100 (control group), and 5) Cojet Sand plus Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus /Z100. The specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 hours at 37ºC, thermal cycled (1,000 cycles - 5º to 55ºC) and stored in distilled water at 37ºC for either 24 hours or 6 months. Shear bond tests were performed in a mechanical testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute. Data (MPa) were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test (a=.05) for each storage time. The results obtained at 24 hours for each repair system were compared with those found at 6 months using Student's t-test. Each specimen was examined under a stereoscopic lens with OE30 magnification, and mode of failure was classified as adhesive, cohesive or combination.

Orientador: Renata Garcia Fonseca / Banca: Carlos Alberto dos Santos Cruz / Banca: Mauro Antônio de Arruda Nóbilo / Resumo: O reparo em próteses metalocerâmicas é um procedimento útil em determinadas situações clínicas. Recentemente surgiram no mercado alguns materiais designados para tal finalidade que, segundo seus fabricantes, são promissores. Neste trabalho foi avaliada a resistência ao cisalhamento de determinados sistemas de reparo para metalocerâmicas. Foram confeccionadas amostras cilíndricas em liga de NiCr (Vera Bond II) e em porcelana feldspática (Noritake). Após inclusão destas em anel de PVC, suas superfícies foram lixadas (320) e, com auxílio de matriz bi-partida (5 mm diâmetro e 2 mm altura), receberam um dos seguintes tratamentos (n=10): 1) sistema Clearfil SE Bond/Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray), 2) sistema Bistite II DC/Palfique (Tokuyama), 3) sistema Cojet Sand/Z100 (3M-ESPE), 4) jateamento com Al2O3 e sistema Scotchbond Multi Uso Plus/Z100 (3M-ESPE) (grupo controle), e 5) jateamento com Cojet Sand e sistema Scotchbond Multi Uso Plus/Z100. Os corpos-de-prova foram armazenados por 24 horas em água destilada a 37ºC, termociclados (1.000 ciclos - 5º a 55ºC) e, então, deixados nas condições descritas acima por mais 8 dias. O ensaio foi realizado em máquina MTS 810 com velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Os valores originais foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey. No metal, as médias de resistência dos grupos de 1 a 5 foram respectivamente de 18,40 MPa (B), 8,57 MPa (D), 25,24 MPa (A), 16,26 MPa (BC) e de 13,11 MPa (C) (valor crítico 3,2). Em porcelana, foram de 16,91 MPa (B), 18,04 MPa (AB), 19,54 MPa (AB), 21,05 MPa (A) e de 16,18 MPa (B) (valor crítico 3,7). A melhor opção mediante exposição em metal foi o sistema Cojet Sand. Em porcelana, os sistemas Scotchbond Multi Uso Plus associado ao jateamento com Al2O3, Cojet Sand e Bistite II DC apresentaram os melhores resultados. / Abstract: Fracture of porcelain in metal-ceramic restorations is a common clinical problem and sometimes the repair is a useful solution. Recently some new repair materials with promising results according to their manufactures are available. The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strengths of porcelain repair systems. Fifty disks in NiCr alloy (Vera Bond II) and in feldspatic porcelain (Noritake) were made. The specimens were included in acrylic resin and the surfaces were ground with 320-grit silicon carbide paper. Metal and porcelain specimens were divided into five groups of ten each and the bonding sites received one of the following treatments: 1) Clearfil SE Bond/Clearfil AP-X (Kuraray), 2) Bistite II DC/Palfique (Tokuyama), 3) Cojet Sand System/Z100 (3M-ESPE), 4) air-abrading with Al2O3 and Scotchbond Multi Purpose/Z100 (3M-ESPE) (control group) and 5) air-abrading with Cojet Sand and Scotchbond Multi Purpose/Z100. After storage for 24 hours in distilled water at 37°C, thermocycling (1.000 cycles - 5º and 55ºC) and storage for more 8 days at the same conditions above, the shear bond strength test was performed in a testing machine MTS 810 at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min until fracture. Statistical analysis of the data was accomplished by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test. In metal, the bond strengths of groups 1 to 5 were, respectively 18,40 MPa (B), 8,57 MPa (D), 25,24 MPa (A), 16,26 MPa (BC) and 13,11 MPa (C). In porcelain, the bond strengths of the five groups were 16,91 MPa (B), 18,04 MPa (AB), 19,54 MPa (AB), 21,05 MPa (A) and 16,18 MPa (B). The best option when occurs metal exposure is Cojet Sand System. In porcelain, air-abrading with Al2O3 and Scotchbond Multi Purpose, Cojet Sand System and Bistite II DC showed the best results. / Mestre

AbstraktSyfte:Studiens syfte var att utreda maxlasttoleransen mellan yttria-stabiliserad zirkoniumdioxid- (Y-TZP) och metallkeramiska- (MC) molarkronor med en ny design på in vitro belastningsformen. En stålkula användes för att utöva last på kusparna istället för i fissuren för att framställa en sprickbildning liknande den som ses kliniskt. Materialochmetod:26 kronor tillverkades, varav 13 högädla MC och 13presintrade Y-TZP. 7 av MC göts av 50% tidigare icke-gjuten och 50% omgjuten legering medan de kvarvarande 6 göts av 100% tidigare icke gjuten legering. Kronorna täcktes av ett fasadporslinoch cementerades på stansar av ett resinmaterial. Av de 26 kronorna genomgick 24 förbelastingstester och belastades slutligen till fraktur. Resultat: MC klarade signifikant högre belastningar än Y-TZP, P>0,001. Frakturerna skiljde sig också grupperna emellan där MC-gruppen uppvisade enbart adhesiva frakturer av fasadporslinet under det att Y-TZP-gruppen uppvisade kohesiva brott i ytporslinet undantaget en Y-TZP-krona som uppvisade total fraktur. Ingen signifikant skillnad kunde ses mellan MC-kronor bestående av enbart tidigare icke gjuten legering och MC-kronor med 50% omgjuten legering, P=0,370. Konklusion: MC-kronor klararsignifikant högre belastningar än Y-TZP-kronor och testet genererar kliniskt relevanta frakturer av ytporslinet snarare än totala frakturer. Frakturbeteendet skiljer sig mellan MC och Y-TZP där MC uppvisar endast adhesiva fraktureroch Y-TZP främst kohesiva brott av ytporslinet.

Barium Titanate (BaTiO3 or BTO) has attracted an ever increasing research interest because of its wide range of potential applications. Nano-sized or nanostructured BTO has found applications in new, useful smart devices, such as sensors and piezoelectric devices. Not only limited to one material, multi-layers or multi-phases can lead to multifunctional applications; for example, nanocomposites can be fabricated with ferrite or metal phase with BTO. In this study, I synthesized various BTO-ferrites, ranging from nanoparticles, nanowires to thin films. BTO-ferrite coaxial nanotubes, BTO-ferrite self-assemble thin films, and BTO single phase films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and sol-gel process. BTO-ferrite nanocomposites were grown by solid state reaction. Furthermore, BTO-metal nanostructures were also synthesized by solid state reaction under hydrogen gas which gave us a great inspiration to fabricate metal-ceramic composites. To understand the relationship between metal and BTO ceramic phase, I also deposited BTO film on Au buffered substrates. A metal layer can affect the grain size and orientation in BTO film which can further help us to control the distribution of dielectric properties of BTO films. After obtaining different nanomaterials, I am interested in the applications of these materials. Recently, many interesting electric devices are developed based on nanotechnology, e.g.: memristor. Memristor is a resistor with memory, which is very important in the computer memory. I believe these newly-synthesized BTO based nanostructures are useful for development of memristor, sensors and other devices to fit increasing needs. / Ph. D.

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.

L'objectif de cette thèse était de développer et de caractériser la microstructure et les propriétés mécaniques des céramiques bio-inspirées. L'alumine inspirée par la nacre fabriquée par texturation à la glace (freeze-casting), précédemment développée dans le cadre de la thèse de F. Bouville, a été choisie comme matériau de référence. La simplification et le changement d’échelle du procédé d’élaboration des matériaux ont été étudiés. Le procédé sophistiqué de freeze-casting a été remplacé par le pressage uniaxial à cru. Les mesures de diffraction des électrons rétrodiffusés ont confirmé le bon alignement après frittage des plaquettes d'alumine utilisées pour préparation du matériau. Le cycle de frittage assisté par effet de champs a été adapté à de plus grandes quantités de poudre céramique et d'additifs organiques. La deuxième partie du projet a été consacrée à la modification de l'interphase entre les plaquettes d'alumine, afin d’améliorer les propriétés mécaniques du matériau. Diverses possibilités ont été explorées: ajout de poudre de zircone, dépôt de zircone sur les plaquettes par réaction sol-gel ou substitution de la phase vitreuse par du graphène. Tous les matériaux obtenus ont été caractérisés par flexion quatre points sur des barrettes entaillées. La troisième partie de cette étude a porté sur le développement de composites multicouches métal/céramique, par frittage simultané d'alumine et de titane. L'épaisseur et la composition de la feuille de titane ont été modifiées pour étudier leur influence sur les phénomènes de diffusion lors du frittage. Les composites ont été caractérisés par MEB, EBSD, spectroscopie à rayons X à dispersion d'énergie et tomographie à rayons X au synchrotron. La fabrication simplifiée des matériaux permet de préparer des échantillons de plus grandes dimensions de céramiques inspirées par la nacre, sans passer par une étape de freeze-casting. Cependant, la croissance des grains doit être limitée pour maintenir de bonnes propriétés mécaniques. La modification de l'interphase entre les plaquettes d'alumine n'a pas amélioré les propriétés mécaniques des matériaux par rapport au matériau de référence. D'autre part, le dépôt de nano-zircone sur la surface des plaquettes semble prometteur et devrait faire l'objet d'études plus poussées. Dans le cas des composites alumine/titane, les composites architecturées multiéchelles ont été fabriqués de manière assez simple. Cependant, il est crucial d'éviter la fissuration des feuilles de métal afin d’améliorer les propriétés mécaniques. / The goal of this thesis was to develop and characterize the microstructure and the mechanical properties of bioinspired ceramic composites. Nacre-like alumina fabricated by freeze-casting previously developed in Bouville thesis was chosen as a reference material. Simplifying and up-scaling material fabrication was intended. Architectural levels were added to the microstructure to further improve mechanical properties of the material. Sophisticated processing by freeze-casting was substituted by uniaxial pressing. Electron backscatter diffraction observations confirmed the good alignment of alumina platelets used to prepare the material. The field assisted sintering cycle was adapted to greater quantities of ceramic powder and organic additives. The second part of the project was dedicated to the modification of the interphase between alumina platelets. Various possibilities were explored: adding fine zirconia powder, depositing zirconia on the platelets by sol-gel reaction, or substituting the glassy phase by graphene. All obtained materials were characterized by four point bending on notched bars. The third part of this study was focused on the development of multilayered metal/ceramic composites, by simultaneous sintering of alumina and titanium. The titanium foil thickness and composition were varied. The composites were characterized by SEM, EBSD, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray tomography. Detailed microstructural and chemical characterization was performed to understand mechanisms of titanium diffusion into ceramic matrix. Simplified material fabrication allows to prepare larger samples of nacre-like ceramics. However grain growth should be limited to maintain good mechanical properties. Modification of the interphase between alumina platelets did not improve mechanical properties of the materials as compared to the reference material. On the other hand, depositing nano-zirconia on platelets surface seems promising and should be further investigated. In case of alumina/titanium composites, a multiscale architecture composites were process in a rather simple way. However, avoiding metal foil cracking is crucial to improve mechanical properties.

The most useful material on prosthodontics is the feldspar porcelain, commercialized as aluminosilicate powders. Dental porcelains are presented with limited mechanical properties to rehabilitate extensive spaces. The association with Ni-Cr metallic systems (metal-ceramic system) allows that the metallic substructure compensates the fragile porcelain nature, preserving the thermal insulation and aesthetics desirable, as well as reducing the possibility of cracking during matication efforts. Cohesive flaws by low mechanical strength connect the metallic substructure to the oral environment, characterized by a electrolytic solution (saliva), by aggressive temperature, pH cyclic changes and mechanical requests. This process results on ionic liberation that could promote allergic or inflammatory responses, and/or clinical degradation of ceramometal system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of an intermediate titanium layer on the microscopic fracture behavior of porcelains on ceramometal systems. Plasma deposition of titanium films result in regular passivating oxide layers which act as barriers to protect the metallic substrate against the hazardous effects of corrosive saliva. Tribocorrosion tests were performed to simulate the oral environment and mechanical stress, making it possible the early detection of crack formation and growth on metal-ceramic systems, which estimate the adherence between the compounds of this system. Plain samples consisting of dental feldspar porcelain deposited either onto metallic substrates or titanium films were fired and characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The result showed that the titanium film improved the adherence of the system compared to conventional metal-ceramic interfaces, thus holding crack propagation / A pr?tese parcial fixa ? empregada na reabilita??o da forma e fun??o de dentes parcial ou totalmente comprometidos, devendo permanecer unida permanentemente aos remanescentes dent?rios.

Este processo resulta na libera??o de ?ons met?licos que podem desencadear respostas al?rgicas ou inflamat?rias, e /ou na degrada??o cl?nica precoce do sistema metalocer?mico.

Ensaios tribocorrosivos foram realizados para simular o ambiente oral, detectando precocemente a forma??o de trincas no sistema metalocer?mico, o que qualifica a ader?ncia entre os componentes do referido sistema. Foram produzidas amostras planas nas quais suspens?es de porcelana feldsp?tica odontol?gica foram depositadas e queimadas sobre substratos met?licos modificados por filme fino de tit?nio, comparando-as com o sistema metalocer?mico convencional.

The combination of actions of cutting, crushing and breaking up of rocks results in the degradation of tricone drill bits by wear, total or partial rupture of the drill bit body or the ceramic inserts, thermal shock and corrosion. Also the improper pressfitting of the ceramic inserts on the bit body may cause its total detachment, and promote serious damages to the drill bit. The improvement on the production process of metal-ceramic interfaces can eliminate or minimize some of above-mentioned failures presented in tricone drill bits, optimizing their lifetime and so reducing drilling metric cost. Brazing is a widely established technique to join metal-ceramic materials, and may be an excellent alternative to the common mechanical press fitting process of hard ceramic inserts on the steel bit body for tricone drill bit. Wetting phenomena plays an essential role in the production of metal/ceramic interfaces when a liquid phase is present in the process. In this work, 72Silver-28Copper eutectic based brazing alloys were melted onto zirconia, silicon nitride and tungsten carbide/Co substrates under high vacuum. Contact angle evolution was measured and graphically plotted, and the interfaces produced were analysed by SEM-EDX. The AgCu eutectic alloy did not wet any ceramic substrates, showing high contact angles, and so without chemical interaction between the materials. Better results were found for the systemns containing 3%wt of titanium in the AgCu alloy.

Entretanto, s?o comuns as falhas cl?nicas observadas neste tipo de restaura??o, devido ? falta de uniformidade na deposi??o da camada ?xida e da conseq?ente perda de adesividade na interface. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar a deposi??o de filmes ?xidos uniformes sobre a superf?cie de amostras compostas por liga met?lica odontol?gica de Ni-Cr previamente polidas, a partir de processamento em atmosfera oxidante a plasma. As amostras foram oxidadas a plasma a 300? e 400?C durante uma hora, enquanto outras foram oxidadas em forno resistivo, a temperatura de 900 ?C, tamb?m durante uma hora. Foram realizadas caracteriza??es do ?xido formado utilizando: microscopia ?ptica e eletr?nica de varredura, microdureza, e difratometria de Raios-X. Observou-se a forma??o de faixas e zonas de diversas cores nas amostras oxidadas a plasma e a forma??o de uma superf?cie de cor acinzentada nas amostras oxidadas em forno comum. Ocorreu a ades?o da porcelana ao metal nas amostras oxidadas a plasma, assim como nas oxidadas convencionalmente. Entretanto, no tratamento a plasma ocorreu a forma??o de ?xidos adesivos a temperatura de 300? e 400?C, o que representa um ganho energ?tico, quando se compara ? temperatura preconizada para os tratamentos convencionais, que margeia os 900?C. Al?m disso, o tratamento a plasma permitiu uma varia??o na t?cnica de tratamento convencional, a da n?o realiza??o do jateamento do metal com ?xido de alum?nio, para a promo??o do embricamento mec?nico
