O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de clorexidina após o condicionamento ácido na preservação da camada híbrida, avaliando a resistência de união imediata e a longo prazo de pinos de fibra de vidro cimentados à dentina radicular. Setenta e dois dentes unirradiculares superiores humanos foram selecionados. Os canais radiculares foram alargados para receberem os pinos de fibra de vidro e aleatoriamente divididos em três grupos (n=24). No Grupo Controle (Gcontrol), o pino de fibra de vidro foi cimentado de acordo com as instruções do fabricante, utilizando um sistema adesivo convencional de três passos e um cimento resinoso dual. Os grupos tratados com digluconato clorexidina GCHX0.2 e GCHX2 receberam a aplicação de solução de clorexidina 0,2% e 2%, respectivamente, após o condicionamento com ácido fosfórico e os pinos foram cimentados utilizando o mesmo sistema adesivo e cimento utilizados no Gcontrol. As raízes foram seccionadas transversalmente ao longo eixo do dente, em fatias de 0,68 (± 0,09) mm. Metade dos dentes foi submetida ao ensaio de push-out após 24 horas e a outra metade, após seis meses de armazenamento em água destilada, a 37°C. Os valores foram analisados com ANOVA de duas vias e teste de comparações múltiplas de Tukey, com nível de significância de 5%. A aplicação de clorexidina não influenciou a resistência de união quando os dentes foram avaliados no mesmo período de armazenagem (p>0,05). O tempo de armazenamento diminuiu significativamente a resistência de união de 24 horas para 6 meses, em todos os grupos (p<0,05). A aplicação de clorexidina não preveniu significativamente a degradação da resistência de união de pinos de fibra cimentados em raízes de dentes humanos, após seis meses de armazenamento. / Introduction: This study evaluated the effect of chlorhexidine applied after dentin phosphoric acid etching on hybrid layer preservation, analyzing the immediate and long-term bond strength of a fiber post cemented to root dentin. Methods: Seventy-two single-rooted, human upper teeth were selected for analysis. Root canals were enlarged for fiber post cementation and were randomly divided into three groups (n= 24). After phosphoric acid etching, each group received a different dentin treatment. In the Control Group (Gcontrol), the fiber post was cemented according to the manufacture’s instruction, using a three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive and a dual-cured resin cement. The Chlorhexidine 0.2% Group (GCHX 0.2) and the Chlorhexidine 2% Group (GCHX 2) received an application of a chlorexidine digluconate solution of 0.2% and 2%, respectively, after phosphoric acid etching, and the post was cemented using the same adhesive and cement that was used in the Gcontrol. Teeth were sectioned transversally in slices of 0.68 (± 0.09) mm. Half of the teeth were submitted to push-out bond strength after 24 hours and the other half were submitted after six months of distilled water storage at 37°C. Data were analyzed by using the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a post hoc tests using the Tukey multiple comparison test at α = 0.05. Results: Chlorhexidine application had no influence on bond strength when teeth were stored for the same period of time (p>0.05). The storage time significantly decreased the bond strength values of 24 hours to six months, in all groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: After six months, chlorhexidine application did not effectively arrest bond strength degradation of fiber post cemented in human roots.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka elevers och studie- och yrkesvägledares upplevelser av studieavbrott i Komvux vuxenutbildning. Studien tar upp vad som har orsakat studieavbrotten och om vuxenutbildningen hade kunnat göra något för att hjälpa eleverna att undvika dessa. En kvalitativ forskningsansats användes för studien med inspiration från fenomenografisk metodansats. Kvalitativa halvstrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Datainsamlingen skedde dels med stöd av en chatt-dialog med de elever som hade avbrutit sina studier och ansikte mot ansikte i intervjuer med studie- och yrkesvägledare. Datainsamlingen omfattar tio intervjuer med studie- och yrkesvägledare och med nio elever. Alla elever har deltagit i gymnasial teoretisk Komvux, men valt att avbryta sina studier. Ett teoretiskt ramverk användes för att analysera och kategorisera orsakerna till studieavbrotten. Kategorierna omfattade begreppen "pull out", "push out" och "fall out". Teorin hämtades från tidigare studier som har haft avsikten att titta närmare på just orsaker bakom studieavbrott. Resultatet visade att de tre kategorierna fanns representerade även i resultatet i den här studien orsaker bakom studieavbrott inom Komvux verksamhet. Ett tema som framkom under analysen av data som kan ses väsentligt att följa upp var enskilda studieplaneringar och lokala insatser. Det var något som i hög grad efterfrågades av de studerande för att klara studierna och även lyftes fram av studie- och yrkesvägledarna i samtalen. Anpassningar för att svara upp mot enskilda studerandes behov av stöd för sina studier saknades. Uppdraget och behovet behöver tydliggöras i organisationen. Studien har därmed synliggjort och lyft fram ny kvalitativ information

Foram selecionados vinte pré-molares inferiores unirradiculares recém extraídos por motivos ortodônticos, hígidos e livres de trincas. As coroas dos dentes foram removidas na altura da junção cemento esmalte. As polpas dentais foram removidas através de limas endodônticas e os condutos radiculares foram preparados com brocas de largo nO 5, com 8,Omm de penetração. As raízes foram divididas em dois grupos de 10: Grupo 1- pino fixados com o sistema adesivo autocondicionante ED Primer e cimento resinoso Panavia F; Grupo 2- pinos fixados com o sistema adesivo de frasco único Single Bond e cimento resinoso Rely X. Após a fixação dos pinos, as raízes foram mantidas em estufa a 37°C, por 24 h. A porção mais apical das raízes foi seccionada até a altura em que a raiz apresentasse 8,Omm de comprimento. Em seguida, as raízes foram seccionadas transversalmente e 3 discos de 2,7mm de altura foram obtidas e classificadas segundo a região cervical, média e apical do pino. O ensaio de resistência de união por extrusão foi realizado em máquina de ensaio universal Instron 4411 onde uma haste metálica com ponta ativa de 1,Omm de diâmetro produziu a carga para efetuar o deslocamento do pino do conduto radicular. Os valores médios de resistência de união por extrusão não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas significantes no terço cervical da raiz entre os dois materiais de fixação avaliados. Nas regiões média e apical do conduto, os valores de resistência de união apresentados pelo Sing/e Bond + Re/y X foram superiores e estatisticamente diferentes em relação aos valores apresentados pelo sistema ED Primer + Panavia F (p< 0,05). Para os dois materiais em estudo, não houve diferença estatística quando comparadas as regiões média e cervical do pino, porém apresentaram diferença estatística em relação à região apical (p< 0,05). Após o ensaio de cisalhamento por extrusão, os espécimes foram seccionados no sentido longitudinal para análise em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A zona de interdifusão adesivo/dentina produzida pelo adesivo de frasco único Sing/e Bond apresentou-se mais espessa do que a zona de interdifusão apresentada pelo adesivo autocondicionante ED Primer. Houve áreas desmineralizadas com presença de túbulos dentinários abertos porém parcialmente preenchidos pela resina em ambos os grupos. Também foram observadas bolhas que variaram de tamanho e forma na camada de cimento junto à área da interface de união e mais constantes no terço apical das raízes. Palavras-chave: pino de fibra de vidro; cimento resinoso; sistema adesivo; resistência de união; "push out / Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond strength between fiber posts cemented in root dentin considering different depths of the roots (cervical, median and apical) and two luting materiais, through push out tests and to examine the integration among these components through scanning electron microscopy. Twenty sound bicuspids, tree trom cracks, extracted for orthodontic reasons, were selected. The crowns were removed at the cement enamel junction. The pulps were removed with endodontic reamers and the first 8,Omm of the canais were shaped with number 5 largo burs. The roots were divided into two groups of 10 each. The roots trom group 1 received fiber posts cemented with the self etching primer ED Primer and the composite resin Panavia F., while the roots of Group 2 received fiber posts cemented with the one bottle adhesive Single Bond and the composite resin Rely X. After the posts cementation, the roots were kept in humidity at 3-,0 C for 24 hours. The most apical part of the roots were sectioned until they were 8.0mm long. After that, the roots were sectioned transversally and three 2.7mm thick sections were obtained: cervical, median and apical. The push out test that evaluated bond strength between luting material and root dentin was carried out on an Instron (4411) testing machine. The specimens were positioned on a steel support platform with the post centered over a 2.0mm hole in the platform. A steel probe 1.0mm in diameter was centered over the post and used to apply force to the test specimens. Data from the push out test revealed no statistically significant differences at the cervical portion of the root between the two cementation systems tested. At the median and apical portion of the root, the bond strength values presented by the Sing/e Bond and Re/y X were superior and statistically different from those presented by ED Primer and Panavia F (P<O,05). After the push out test, the specimens were sectioned longitudinally for observation in scanning electron microscope. Afterwards, the specimens were gold sputtered to have their failure mode evaluated. The adhesive/dentin hybrid layer formed by the one bottle adhesive Sing/e Bond was thicker than the one formed by the self etching ED primer. There were zones of demineralization in the root dentin not filled with the adhesive for both groups. Many voids could be observed at the cernent layer close to the bonding area and they seemed to be more frequent at the apical portion of the roots / Doutorado / Dentística / Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

The purpose of this research is to evaluate and compare the influence of four types of secondary reinforcement on various component strengths related to composite slabs. These components include the composite slab strength under uniform load, the strength of two types of shear connectors used with composite beams and joists, composite slab strength due to a concentrated load, and the flexural toughness and first-crack strength of fiber-reinforced concrete using ASTM C1018 (1998) standard test. The performance of the specimens reinforced with fibers are compared with that of the specimens reinforced with welded-wire fabric (WWF), with the purpose of determining if fiber-reinforced concrete can be used as an alternative to WWF. / Master of Science

yes / In this work, the interfacial bond performance of recycled aggregate concrete filled stainless steel tube (RAC-FSST) members was investigated through the repeated push-out tests. Three coarse recycled aggregate (CRA) replacements (0, 50% and 100%) and two cross-sectional dimensions were considered in the experimental program. The failure pattern, bond stress-slip response and strain development of stainless steel tube were obtained, and the bond mechanisms under different loading stages were analyzed. Test results showed that the ultimate bond stress increases with the increasing CRA content and decreasing cross-sectional dimensions. Compared with CFST members having carbon steel, RAC-FSST members present lower bond stress. The macro-interlocking effect is obvious in the later loading stage, resulting in a significant increase in the post-peak bond slip curves. Finally, the ultimate bond strength and idealized bond stress-slip models for the RAC-FSST members were suggested on the basis of the test results.

Ce travail porte sur l'étude des comportements en flexion à court et long termes des poutres hybrides collées constituées d'un profilé pultrudé GFRP et d'une dalle en béton, assemblés par un joint de colle époxy. L'utilisation du collage dans des structures réelles se heurte encore à la réticence des concepteurs en raison du manque de garanties sur la durabilité à long terme et de l'absence d'outils de modélisation donnant la durée de vie en service des assemblages collés. La présente étude constitue donc un jalon dans cette démarche de compréhension du comportement à long terme de ces structures collées. Elle s'appuie sur analyse multi-échelles qui permet d'aborder le problème à l'échelle locale de l'interface (essai pushout) et à l'échelle globale de l'élément de structure (essai de flexion sur des poutres). Des essais de vieillissement accéléré ont tout d'abord été conduits pour étudier les effets de l'humidité et de la température sur l'adhésif seul et sur l'assemblage structural et il en ressort que l'eau, et notamment une immersion prolongée, s'avère particulièrement néfaste à la résistance au cisaillement des éprouvettes et modifie leur mode de ruine. La réponse instantanée de l'assemblage pultrudé-béton a ensuite été plus amplement étudiée. Grâce à une étude paramétrique expérimentale, une géométrie et une méthode de fabrication des éprouvettes ont été définies pour assurer la reproductibilité des résultats et limiter leur dispersion. De plus, un modèle numérique 3D a été développé dans le code d'éléments finis Cast3m et montre une distribution de contraintes, notamment de cisaillement, non uniforme le long de la surface de collage avec une concentration aux extrémités du joint. Une analyse paramétrique numérique a permis d'identifier les dimensions des dallettes et du joint de colle comme des paramètres influents sur la résistance des éprouvettes. Enfin, le comportement en fluage d'une poutre hybride est étudié. Sous l'effet d'un vieillissement naturel, seul, le joint d'adhésif ne s'avère pas impacté. Des essais de fluage en flexion 3-points ont été effectués pour étudier les réponses à long terme du profilé seul et de la poutre hybride. Ils montrent une augmentation considérable du déplacement des poutres en raison du fluage et du retrait du béton et du fluage du profilé. Des modèles 3D en variables locales, dans le cadre de la viscoélasticité linéaire, sont développés dans Cast3m et permettent de fidèlement restituer l'évolution des déplacements et des états de déformation au cours du temps pour les différentes poutres testée / This dissertation focuses on the short- and long-term responses of bonded hybrid beams consisting of a GFRP-pultruded profile bonded by an epoxy adhesive joint to a reinforced concrete-slab. The problems related to the durability and the long-term response of these structures still represent an open issue. The present study is meant to increase the knowledge and understanding of these hybrid structures in this context. Firstly, different accelerated ageing tests were carried out to evaluate the effects of some environmental agents such as water, moisture and freeze thaw cycles in the behaviour of GFRP/concrete bonded assemblies. Mechanical characterizations were carried out on control and exposed of both materials and push-out specimens to quantify the degradation and damage of the mechanical resistance of each material and of the adhesive bond properties. The water effect on the adhesion of the joints was found to be significant, especially at longer immersion times. The second part was directed at characterizing the push-out test. An experimental parametric study was performed to elaborate a methodology of fabrication of the push-out specimens that can reduce the dispersion of results and give an accurate prediction of the shear strength on a limited set of specimens. Also, a 3D finite-element model was developed using the finite-element code Cast3m. This model showed that the stress components, especially peel and shear stresses, are not constants across the bonding area and peaking near the free edges (stress concentrations). A numerical parametric study allowed to conclude that the most effective geometrical parameters influencing bond between GFRP and concrete were the bonded length and the dimensions of the concrete substrate. Last part deals with experimental and numerical investigations carried out to study the short- and long-term flexural behaviour of full-scale hybrid beams. All experiments showed considerable increase in beam deflection over time due to concrete creep and shrinkage and GFRP creep. Finally, 3D-finite-element models, realized with Cast3m, are developed based on the incremental formulation of the linear-viscoelasticity theory. The proposed models allow evaluation of the long-term deflection of the pultruded and hybrid beams. Using the proposed model, evolution with time of stresses, strains and displacements in different location of the hybrid beam are obtained

L'utilisation des composites dans la construction des bâtiments ou des ouvrages d'art est de plus en plus importante car ces matériaux présentent des atouts indiscutables comme un très bon rapport performance / poids ou une facilité de mise en oeuvre. Cependant, leur essor est ralenti par certaines faiblesses dont l'une des plus importantes est leur souplesse qui induit des déplacements élevés et des risques d'instabilités importants qui ne permettent pas d'exploiter tout le potentiel de ces matériaux. Dans le cas d'éléments de structure fléchis, une des solutions consiste à associer les profilés composites à une dalle en béton armé. La connexion est établie par des butées mécaniques, par collage, ou l'association des deux. L'objectif général de ce travail est d'étudier le comportement des structures mixtes GFRP-Béton fléchies sous chargement statique instantané : Cette étude comporte un volet expérimental lourd et un volet de modélisation numérique. Elle a été abordée à 3 échelles : matériaux, interface, et structure. Trois modes de connexion ont été exploités. Sur le plan expérimental, nous avons d'abord caractérisé tous les matériaux utilisés : composite, béton, adhésif, acier des armatures et des connecteurs. Puis, la caractérisation à l'échelle de l'interface a été effectuée par l'essai push-out dans différentes configurations (7 séries d'essais au total). Enfin, le comportement à l'échelle d'éléments de structure a été étudié sur des mono-poutres pour des portées allant de 2 m à 4.8 m, sur des poutres composites seules ou sur des poutres mixtes (10 poutres au total). Une passerelle bi-poutre de 4.8 m de portée a également été testée dans la même configuration et jusqu'à la ruine. La modélisation du comportement de ces poutres hybrides a été effectuée selon 2 cas théoriques. Elles ont d'abord été modélisées dans le cadre de la théorie des poutres multicouches, dans le domaine élastique et à l'approche de la ruine. Selon le mode de connexion, le glissement à l'interface est pris en compte ou négligé. Ces poutres ont également été modélisées par la MEF en utilisant des éléments volumiques et en considérant une connexion parfaite. Les résultats d'essais montrent le comportement correspondant à chaque mode de connexion : la connexion par butées mécaniques simples est à ce jour celle qui s'avère la plus efficace. Les écarts modèle / calculs restent acceptables sauf à proximité de l'interface où les déformations peuvent être affectées par la fissuration du béton qui reste difficile à prédire de façon précise. La simulation numérique donne des valeurs très proches de la réalité et répond aux questions posées lors de l'expérience / Advanced composites are increasingly used in construction thanks to their indisputable advantages such as high strength to weight ratio and ease of implementation. However, their growth is hindered by a main weak point: low stiffness. Advanced composites risk instabilities under high loads which make it not possible to exploit their full potential. Considering flexural elements, one of the solutions proposed consists in associating the composite profiles with a reinforced concrete slab. The connection of both materials is either established by bolting, bonding or a combination of both techniques.In this study, 3 different connection modes were tested on structural elements with different spans. Previously, to characterize the mechanical behavior of the interface, 35 push out specimens having bolted or bonded connections were prepared and tested. In addition, all materials used were characterized.A composite beam (Pu1) and 8 hybrid beams (PB1-PB8) were tested under 3 points bending up to failure. The results are exploited to construct and test a hybrid footbridge. 7 push out series were tested and digital image correlation was used to analyze the behavior at the interface and measure the displacement fields to determine the slip. Concrete, GFRP, bolts, the adhesive and the concrete reinforcing steel bars were all characterized.The experimental data obtained from the tests is compared to calculation results obtained by a multi-layer beam model within service limit states and at ultimate ones. Besides, a 3D finite element model was developed to provide more accurate results.The results allow distinguishing 3 behavior modes relative to the 3 connection types: the connection by mechanical studs proves to be the most efficient so far. The measurements are also compared to the results obtained by a multi-layer beam model. The differences are acceptable except in the vicinity of the interface where the deformations can be affected by the cracking of the concrete which remains difficult to predict precisely. The 3D simulations present with an excellent agreement the experiments and explain some observations obtained

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resistência de união à dentina da obturação de canais radiculares com cimentos à base de resina epóxica e de metacrilato, por meio do dispositivo material testing stage (MTS) acoplado ao microtomógrafo (&mu;CT), bem como avaliar qualitativamente a ruptura da massa obturadora por meio de imagens de &mu;CT. Além disso, foram utilizados o método de elementos finitos 3D e microscopia confocal de varredura a laser (MCVL) para verificar, respectivamente, a distribuição de tensões e presença de gaps na interface de união. Raízes de caninos superiores com 17 mm de comprimento foram submetidas ao preparo biomecânico com instrumentos rotatórios de níquel titânio, sob irrigação constante com NaOCl 1% e irrigação final com EDTA 17%. Os canais foram obturados pela técnica da condensação lateral com cones de guta percha e os cimentos: AH Plus, Epiphany SE ou RealSeal XT. As raízes foram armazenadas (100% de umidade, 37°C) por três vezes o tempo de endurecimento do cimento utilizado. Após este período, as raízes foram seccionadas para obtenção de dois slices (2 mm) de cada terço radicular. Um slices de cada terço foi submetido ao teste de push-out através de dispositivo mecânico MTS acoplado ao &mu;CT SkyScan 1174 (50kV, 80mA). Após o escaneamento inicial do slices, com resolução isotrópica de 13 &mu;m, filtro de 0.5 mm de Al e 360º de rotação, o teste mecânico foi iniciado até que ocorresse o deslocamento do material. Novo escaneamento foi realizado com os mesmos parâmetros iniciais, que determinou regiões de ruptura da massa obturadora em secções axiais. Os tipos de falhas foram avaliados por MCVL e classificadas em: adesivas, coesivas e mistas. Modelos 3D de elementos finitos foram gerados para os terços cervical, médio e apical, a partir de imagens de &mu;CT. No segundo slices de cada terço radicular, foi aferido o percentual de gaps do material obturador às paredes do canal radicular, por meio de MCVL e do programa OLS 4000. Os dados foram analisados por testes estatísticos paramétricos e não paramétricos (p<0,05). O cimento AH Plus [1,89 (1,01/2,39) MPa] apresentou maior resistência de união à dentina (p<0,001) quando comparado aos cimentos Epiphany SE [0,36 (0,29/0,44) MPa] e RealSeal XT [0,43 (0,32/0,54) MPa]. Para os cimentos AH Plus e RealSeal XT, os terços cervical e médio apresentaram maior resistência de união à dentina que o terço apical (p<0,001). As rupturas ocorreram nas margens da massa obturadora para o cimento AH Plus, enquanto os cimentos Epiphany SE e RealSeal XT tiveram este tipo de ruptura, bem como na própria massa obturadora. No cimento AH Plus, a interface de união mostrou maior concentração de tensões, que foram distribuídas principalmente na massa obturadora para os cimentos Epiphany SE e RealSeal XT. Houve predominância de falhas adesivas e mistas em todos os cimentos. Em relação ao percentual de gaps, o cimento AH Plus apresentou as menores médias (11,14% ± 4,03), com diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) dos cimentos Epiphany SE (55,39% ± 13,46) e RealSeal XT (62,50% ± 6,72). O cimento à base de resina epóxica (AH Plus) apresentou a maior resistência de união à dentina e teve comportamento diferente em relação aos outros cimentos, quanto à ruptura da massa obturadora e distribuição de tensão interfacial. Além disso, o cimento AH Plus apresentou o menor percentual de gaps entre o material obturador e as paredes do canal radicular / The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of epoxy resin- and methacrylate-based sealers to root dentin, using the material testing stage (MTS) coupled to a micro-computed tomography (&mu;CT) device and to qualitatively assess the root-filling mass rupture by &mu;CT images. Additional analyses were conducted using the 3D element finite method and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to verify, respectively, the stress distribution and percentage of gaps on dentin filling material interfaces. Maxillary canine roots measuring 17 mm were subjected to biomechanical preparation with nickel-titanium rotary instruments under constant irrigation with 1% NaOCl and final irrigation with 17% EDTA. Canals were filled by the lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha cones and the following sealers: AH Plus, Epiphany SE or RealSeal XT. The roots were stored (100% humidity, 37 °C) for a period three times longer than the setting time required for each sealer and then sectioned transversally to obtain two 2-mm-thick slices from each root third. One slice of each third was subjected to the push-out test using the MTS coupled to the SkyScan 1174 &mu;CT (50 kV, 80 mA) with 13 &mu;m isotropic resolution, 0.5 mm Al filter and 360° rotation. After the initial scanning of the slice, the mechanical test was performed until material dislodgement occurred. A new scanning was performed using the same initial parameters. The axial sections obtained were used for qualitative evaluation of the root-filling mass rupture. Failure modes were assessed by CLSM and classified as adhesive, cohesive or mixed. 3D &mu;CT based finite element models were generated from cervical, middle and apical root thirds to simulate the push-out test. The second slice of each root third was used to assess the percentage of gaps between the filling material and the root canal walls, using CLSM with the aid of the OLS 4000 software. The data were analyzed by parametric and non-parametric tests (p<0.05). AH Plus presented higher bond strength [1.89 (1.01/2.39) MPa] to dentin (p<0.001) than Epiphany SE [0.36 (0.29/0.44) MPa] and RealSeal XT [0.43 (0.32/0.54) MPa]. For AH Plus and RealSeal XT sealers, the cervical and middle thirds showed higher bond strength to dentin than the apical third (p <0.001). The ruptures occurred in the margins of the root filling mass for AH Plus, while Epiphany SE and RealSeal XT had this type of rupture as well as in the root filling mass itself. AH Plus showed stress concentration on bond interface, while in Epiphany SE and RealSeal XT the stress was mainly distributed on the root-filling mass. Adhesive and mixed failures were the predominant fracture modes in all sealers. Regarding the percentage of gaps between the filling material and the root canal walls, AH Plus presented the lowest means (11.14%±4.03), differing significantly (p<0.05) from Epiphany SE (55.39%±13.46) and RealSeal XT (62.50%±6.72) sealers. The epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) presented the highest bond strength to dentin, which had different behavior from other sealers regarding root-filling mass rupture and interfacial stress distribution. Moreover, AH Plus resulted in the lowest percentage of gaps between the material and the root canal walls

As raízes de cinqüenta e dois pré-molares inferiores humanos extraídos foram tratadas endodonticamente e padronizado o preparo dos condutos. Assim, elas foram divididas aleatoriamente em quatro grupos, de acordo com a técnica de inserção do cimento: GC - seringa Centrix® com ponta fina; GL - broca Lentulo 35, GP - cimento aplicado diretamente no pino e GI - seringa para aplicação de insulina. Os pinos intra-radiculares (White Post DC - FGM) tiveram suas superfícies tratadas de acordo com o fabricante e foram cimentados de acordo com cada técnica. Após o armazenamento em água a 37° C por uma semana, para cada grupo, dez raízes foram seccionadas transversalmente em seis discos com 1 mm de espessura cada, e os terços coronário (TC), médio (TM) e apical (TA) do canal radicular foram identificados. O teste de push-out foi realizado a uma velocidade de 0,5 mm/min. Para avaliação da nanoinfiltração três raízes de cada grupo, ou seja, 6 discos por raiz, foram submetidos a imersão em Nitrato de Prata 50% para posterior obtenção de imagens feitas em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. As imagens foram analisadas por meio de software apropriado para obtenção das médias dos valores de nanoinfiltração convertidas em porcentagem. Os dados, submetidos a análise estatística por ANOVA 1 fator e Pós-teste Tukey (0,5%), mostraram que GC apresentou os melhores valores para resistência adesiva (MPa) e nanoinfiltração (%): 18,57 ± 4,19 e 37,70 ± 18,95 respectivamente, tendo GP o pior desempenho: 13,71 ± 1,61 e 65,11 ± 13,58 respectivamente. A técnica de inserção do cimento resinoso teve influencia nos valores de resistência adesiva e nanoinfiltração encontrados no estudo. / The aim of this study was to evaluate four techniques for insertion of resin cement on retention of glass fiber posts to root dentin in different root thirds, as well as these different nanoleakage in adhesive interface. The roots of the fifty-two human extracted pre-molars were endodontically treated and standardized preparation of the canals. It were divided into four groups according to the technique of insertion of the cement: GC - Centrix ® syringe with fine tip, GL - # 35 drill Lentulo, GP - cement applied directly to the post and GI - syringe for insulin delivery. The posts (White Post DC - FGM) had their surfaces treated in accordance with the manufacturer and were cemented according to each technique. After storage in water at 37° C for one week, each group of ten roots were sectioned transversely into six discs with 1 mm thick each, and coronal thirds (CT), medium (TM) and apical (TA) of root canal were identified. The push-out test was conducted at a speed of 0.5 mm / min. To evaluate the nanoleakage in the adhesive interface, three roots of each group, ie, 6 slices per root were submitted to immersion in 50% silver nitrate for subsequent obtaining of images made using scanning electron microscopy. Images were analyzed using appropriate software to obtain the mean nanoleakage values converted into percentage. The data were subjected to statistical analysis by ANOVA (one factor) and Tukey post-test (0.5%), showed that GC had the best values for bond strength (MPa) and nanoleakage (%):18,57 ± 4,19 e 37,70 ± 18,95 repectively and GP had the worst values: 13,71 ± 1,61 e 65,11 ± 13,58 respectively. The insertion technique of resin cement influenced on the bond strength values and on the nanoleakage found in the study.
