RESUMEN

Resumen La fluorosis dental es una anomalía en el desarrollo del esmalte debido a la excesiva ingesta de flúor durante la formación de los tejidos dentales, y se caracteriza principalmente por la hipomineralización y mayor porosidad de la estructura del esmalte. Muchas veces las manchas ocasionadas por la fluorosis dental pueden comprometer la estética del paciente y afectar su autoestima. En años recientes ha sido desarrollado una nueva generación de materiales odontológicos conocida como infiltrantes resinosos, que básicamente son resinas de baja viscosidad que infiltran y paralizan la progresión de las lesiones cariosas incipientes no cavitadas. Cuando infiltrantes resinosos han sido utilizados para detener las lesiones cariosas se ha verificado que también producen cambios en la apariencia de la mancha blanca, atenuándola o tornándola imperceptible. El presente artículo describe un reporte de caso del uso de infiltrantes resinosos para tratamiento estético de lesiones de manchas blancas ocasionadas por fluorosis.

Abstract Dental fluorosis is an abnormality in the development of enamel due to the excessive intake of fluoride during formation of dental tissues, mainly characterized by hypomineralization and increased porosity of the enamel structure. Oftenly the spots caused by dental fluorosis can compromise the aesthetics of the patient and affect their self-esteem. In recent years a new generation of dental materials has been developed, known as resin infiltrants, which are basically low viscosity resins that infiltrate and paralyze the progression of incipient non cavitated carious lesions. When resin infiltrants have been used to stop carious lesions it has been verified that they also produce changes in the appearance of white spots, masking or making them imperceptible. The present article describes a case report of the use of resin infiltrants for aesthetic treatment of white spot lesions caused by fluorosis.

RESUMEN

Objetivo. Comparar la profundidad de polimerización de tres resinas compuestas bulk fill obtenida con dos unidades de fotoactivación LED (polywave versus monowave). Mé-todos. Con las resinas compuestas bulk fill: Filtek One Bulk Fill Restorative (FO) (3M ESPE), Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TNC) (Ivoclar Vivadent) y Opus Bulk Fill APS (OP) (FGM), fueron confeccionados cuerpos de prueba (n = 5) de formato cilíndrico (4 mm diámetro y 10 mm altura) para la evaluación de la profundidad de polimerización según la norma ISO 4049. Fueron empleadas dos unidades de fotoactivación LED de diferentes tecnologías: Bluephase N (Tecnología Polywave - Ivoclar Vivadent) y LED D (Tecnología Monowave - Woodpecker) con densidad de energía de 24 J/cm2. Los datos fueron analiza-dos por medio del análisis de la varianza de dos factores y la prueba post hoc de Tukey (α = 5%). Resultados. LED D produjo mayores valores de profundidad de polimerización en todas las resinas compuestas bulk fill evaluadas (p < 0,05). Los valores obtenidos con Bluephase N fueron: 3,87 (TNC) > 3,74 (FO) > 3,31 (OP) y con LED D fueron 4,29 (TNC) > 4,11 (FO) > 3,92 (OP). Conclusiones. La unidad de fotoactivación LED de tecnología monowave produjo mayor profundidad de polimerización que la de tecnología polywave, independientemente de la resina compuesta bulk fill utilizada. Las resinas com-puestas tuvieron diferentes valores de profundidad de polimerización.Palabras clave: Resinas compuestas; Polimerización; Propiedades físicas y químicas; Ma-teriales dentales; Odontología (fuente: DeCS BIREME).

Objective. To compare the depth of cure of three bulk-fill resin composites using polywave vs. monowave LED light-curing units. Methods. Cylindrical specimens (4 mm diameter and 10 mm height) were prepared using resin composites: Filtek One Bulk Fill Restorative (FO) (3M ESPE), Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TNC) (Ivoclar Vi-vadent) and Opus Bulk Fill APS (OP) (FGM), to evaluate the depth of cure according to ISO 4049 standard (n = 5). Two LED light-curing units were used: Bluephase N (Polywave, Ivoclar Vivadent) and LED D (Monowave, Woodpecker) with 24 J/cm2 of energy density. Data were analyzed by two-way Analysis of Variance and Tukey's post hoc test (α = 5%). Results. LED D group showed higher depth of cure values in all resin composites evaluated (p < 0.05). The values were: Bluephase N: 3.87 (TNC) > 3.74 (FO) > 3.31 (OP), and LED D: 4.29 (TNC) > 4.11 (FO) > 3.92 (OP). Conclu-sions. The monowave LED light-curing unit produced greater depth of cure than the polywave, regardless of the bulk-fill resin composite used. Resin composites showed different depth of cure values.

RESUMEN

A odontologia adesiva tem guiado bastante a reabilitação estética dos dentes, especialmente no que se refere às restaurações diretas e indiretas. Desse modo, os materiais resinosos (adesivos, resinas compostas e cimentos resinosos), fotoativados ou duais, são bastante utilizados na clínica odontológica e dependem de maneira essencial de correta fotoativação. Vários são os aparelhos fotoativadores e as técnicas de fotoativação, fazendo com que o dentista necessite saber qual fonte de luz e técnica são mais adequadas para a situação clínica em questão. O objetivo do presente estudo é apresentar os conceitos sobre fotoativação e aparelhos fotoativadores, bem como as técnicas clínicas para sua aplicação nos materiais resinosos utilizados na odontologia

Adhesive dentistry has guided the esthetic rehabilitation of the teeth, especially with direct and indirect restorations. In this sense, resin materials (adhesives, resin composites and resin cements), photoactivated or dual-cured, are often used in dental clinics and depend on an adequate photocuring. There are many light curing and photoactivation techniques, causing the dentist the need to know which source of light and technique are most appropriate for the clinical situation in question. Thus, the aim of the present work is to show the concepts of photocuring and light curing units, as well as photoactivation techniques for the resin materials used in dentistry

RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing a component of the self-etch adhesive Adper Scotchbond SE (liquid A + liquid B) by 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) on bond strength to dentin after 1 day, 3 months or 6 months of water storage. Eight human teeth were sectioned to expose a flat dentin surface and were then randomly assigned to 2 groups. In the control group, the dentin surfaces were treated with the adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions. In the experimental group, liquid A was replaced by 2% CHX. Next, a 6-mm-high resin composite block was incrementally built on the bonded surfaces. The restored teeth were then sectioned to produce stick-shaped specimens (cross-sectional area - 0.8 mm2). The microtensile bond strength (µTBS) was recorded, and the failure modes were assessed. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA (α=0.05). Four additional teeth were processed in order to conduct a micromorphological analysis of the resin-dentin interface. The µTBS values did not significantly decrease after water storage in either the control or the experimental group, whose values did not differ significantly irrespective of storage time. The morphological aspect of the bonding interface appears not to have been affected by CHX. A higher incidence of cohesive failures within the adhesive and mixed failures (cohesive within adhesive and resin composite) was observed for both groups. It may be concluded that dentin pre-treatment with 2% CHX did not influence significantly the bonding performance of the evaluated adhesive.

O objetivo deste estudo foi o de avaliar o efeito da substituição de um componente do adesivo autocondicionante Adper Scotchbond SE (líquido A + líquido B) por clorexidina (CHX) a 2% na resistência da união à dentina após 1 dia, 3 meses ou 6 meses de armazenamento em água. Oito dentes humanos foram seccionados para expor uma superfície plana de dentina e, em seguida, foram aleatoriamente divididos em dois grupos. No grupo controle, as superfícies de dentina foram tratadas com o adesivo de acordo com as instruções do fabricante. No grupo experimental, o líquido A foi substituído por CHX a 2%. Em seguida, um bloco de resina composta com 6 mm de altura foi construído sobre a superfície de união. Os dentes restaurados foram então seccionados para produzir espécimes em forma de palito (área transversal - 0,8 mm2). A resistência da união à microtração (µT) foi mensurada e os padrões de fratura avaliados. Os dados foram analisados por meio de teste de ANOVA dois critérios de medidas repetidas (α=0,05). Quatro dentes adicionais foram processados a fim de realizar uma análise micromorfológica da interface resina-dentina. Os valores de µT não diminuíram significativamente após armazenamento em água em ambos os grupos controle e experimental, cujos valores não diferiram significativamente entre si independentemente do tempo de armazenamento. O aspecto morfológico da interface adesiva parece não ter sido afetado pela CHX. Uma maior incidência de falhas coesivas no adesivo e falhas mistas (coesivas no adesivo e na resina composta) foi observada em ambos os grupos. Pode-se concluir que o pré-tratamento da dentina com CHX a 2% não influenciou significativamente o desempenho do adesivo avaliado.
