RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of Biosilicate and Duraphat in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH). METHODS AND MATERIALS: This clinical trial was conducted with young adults presenting DH. A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the level of pain, using volatile and tactile tests. Forty participants presenting two teeth with DH were included, and these teeth were divided into two groups according to the treatment: Biosilicate or Duraphat. Each product was randomly applied on one tooth per participant once a week for 4 weeks and evaluated every 15 days for 60 days after the last application. RESULTS: The mean and standard deviation (SD) of VAS values for the initial volatile sensitivity evaluation were 6.18 (1.99) and 6.08 (1.98) for the Biosilicate and Duraphat groups, respectively, and at the fourth week 0.48 (1.5) and 0.83 (1.58). After 60 days, the volatile sensitivity showed the following values: 0.63 (1.19) for Biosilicate and 1.03 (1.07) for Duraphat. The intragroup comparison showed a significant reduction of mean VAS values for DH-related pain assessed by volatile testing for both groups (p<0.001), and the assessment at the 60-day follow-up showed mean values statistically similar to those obtained at the end of treatment. Initial tactile sensitivity observed was 1.48 (2.39) for the Biosilicate and 1.4 (2.2) for the Duraphat group and at the 60-day follow-up 0.23 (0.73) and 0.15 (0.36), respectively, with significant statistical difference (p<0.002). When the reduction in tactile and volatile sensitivities between both groups was compared, no statistically significant difference was observed. CONCLUSION: This study indicated that both products were able to promote an important reduction in dentin hypersensitivity with similar results within a 60-day follow-up.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the fatigue failure load (FFL) and the number of cycles for fatigue failure (CFF) of traditional (porcelain layer up) and reversed (zirconia layer up) designs of porcelain-veneered zirconia samples prepared with heat-pressing or file-splitting techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Zirconia discs were prepared and veneered with heat-pressed or machined feldspathic ceramic. The bilayer discs were bonded onto a dentin-analog according to the bilayer technique and sample design: traditional heat-pressing (T-HP), reversed heat-pressing (R-HP), traditional file-splitting with fusion ceramic (T-FC), reversed file-splitting with fusion ceramic R-FC), traditional file-splitting with resin cement (T-RC), and reversed file-splitting with resin cement (R-RC). The fatigue tests were performed using the stepwise approach at 20 Hz, 10,000 cycles/step, step-size of 200 N starting at 600 N, and proceeding until failure detection or up to 2600 N if enduring. The failure modes (from radial and/or cone cracks) were analyzed in a stereomicroscope. RESULTS: The reversed design decreased the FFL and CFF of bilayers prepared with heat-pressing and file-splitting with fusion ceramic. The T-HP and T-FC reached the highest results, which were statistically similar between them. The bilayers prepared by the file-splitting with resin cement (T-RC and R-RC) were similar to the R-FC and R-HP groups regarding FFL and CFF. Almost all reverse layering samples failed by radial cracks. CONCLUSIONS: The reverse layering design did not improve the fatigue behavior of porcelain veneered zirconia samples. The three bilayer techniques behaved similarly when used in the reversed design.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect of coating traditional and translucent Y-TZP with an industrial nanometric colloidal silica or glaze before or after sintering on the adhesion of zirconia with various ytrria concentration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Specimens of Y-TZP with 3% and 5% yttria were subdivided into 5 groups (n=10), according to the coating applied and moment of application (before or after Y-TZP sintering): Control (no coating), Colloidal Silica/Sintering, Sintering/Colloidal Silica, Glaze/Sintering, Sintering/ Glaze. Lithium disilicate (LD) was used as positive control. Except for Y-TZP controls, groups were conditioned with silane before cementation with a self-adhesive resin cement. After 24 hours, the shear bond strength and failure analysis were performed. Also, analysis of specimens' surface was accomplished with SEM-EDX. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests were applied to analyze differences between groups (p⟨0.05). RESULTS: Overall, the worst and best values of shear bond strength test were control and glaze after sintering groups. Different morphological and chemical aspects were observed in SEM-EDX analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Coating Y-TZP with colloidal silica showed unsatisfactory results. In 3Y-TZP, the surface treatment associated with the best adhesion values was the application of glaze after zirconia sintering. However, in 5Y-TZP, glaze application can be performed before or after the zirconia sintering to optimize clinical steps.

OBJECTIVE: This case report describes a minimally invasive approach with tooth whitening and partial ceramic veneers in the esthetic zone with a 5-year follow-up. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The patient was initially concerned about the tooth color and previous direct resin composite restorations that chipped on the incisal edges of both maxillary central incisors. Tooth whitening and partial veneers for both central incisors were recommended after clinical evaluation. Two sessions of in-office tooth whitening, first with 35% hydrogen peroxide and later with 10% carbamide peroxide from first premolar to first premolar, were provided. Minimal tooth preparation that only removed the fractured composite restorations was performed followed by placement of feldspathic porcelain ultrathin partial ceramic veneers for both central incisors. We emphasize the benefits of minimal tooth preparation paired with partial ceramic veneers and the importance of masking discolored tooth structure with such thin veneers, including potential tooth whitening. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, we demonstrate a well-planned and executed restorative procedure combining tooth whitening and ultrathin partial ceramic veneers to achieve desired results in the esthetic zone that remained successful for five years.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The lack of standardization regarding the loading piston material used in fatigue tests could limit the interpretation of study findings. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of the piston material on the fatigue behavior of a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Plate-shaped, 1.2-mm-thick, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic specimens were cemented onto a dentin analog substrate with resin cement. The specimens were divided into 4 groups according to the piston material used in the fatigue test (n=30): metal, glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin, ceramic, and human tooth. The fatigue test was performed in a mechanical cycling machine by using the boundary technique at 2 Hz in distilled water at 37 °C. The fatigue data were analyzed by using the Weibull distribution and a lifetime-inverse power law relationship. Failures were evaluated with fractography and transillumination. RESULTS: The Weibull modulus (ß) was similar among groups. The exponent of crack growth (n) was significantly greater for glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin and tooth groups than for metal and ceramic; therefore, the probability of failure (Pf) of glass-ceramic specimens loaded by resin and tooth pistons depended more on load amplitude. Specimens tested with tooth showed the highest value of K (characteristic lifetime), which is an indication of greater survival. Radial crack was the only failure mode observed for all experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS: The piston material influenced the fatigue survival of the lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. The glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin piston closely simulated the fatigue behavior induced by the human tooth on the evaluated glass-ceramic.

The influence of different surface treatments and ageing on the shear bond strength (SBS) of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials is still contentious. Therefore, this study evaluated the effect of surface treatments and ageing on the SBS of resin cement to polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) CAD/CAM materials. Specimens of PICN (n=10) and ZLS (n=10) were submitted to four surface treatment groups: 1) 5% hydrofluoric acid etching (HF) + silanisation (SI); 2) Air abrasion (AB)+HF+SI; 3) HF + universal adhesive (UA); 4) AB+HF+SI+UA. The treated specimens were bonded with resin cement cylinders and tested in SBS after 24 h and one year of water storage. Data were assessed by "analysis of variance" (ANOVA) and Tukey test (α=0.05) and failure modes were classified. No significant differences were observed among treatments at each evaluation time (p>0.05). SBS decreased after one year of storage, except for PICN treated with HF+UA (p=0.068). Air-abraded groups displayed a lower SBS reduction for ZLS. PICN and ZLS exhibited predominantly adhesive and mixed failures, but at one year, PICN cohesive failures increased. In conclusion, HF+UA is an effective surface treatment for PICN, while the combination AB+HF+SI+UA was more appropriate for ZLS. The water storage for one year reduced the SBS for most groups.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: When glass-ceramics are treated with hydrofluoric acid (HF), not only the area of application is affected but also other surfaces. Information regarding the correlation of the dissolution caused by HF and the flexural strength of the ceramic is lacking. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of HF etching protocols on the flexural strength of 2 glass-ceramics, the correlation of their flexural strength with the internal and lateral dissolution, and the differences in Weibull characteristics concerning the etching protocols. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Specimens (4×12×0.3mm) of leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic-LEU (IPS Empress) and of lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramic-LD (IPS e.max) were prepared. The specimens were divided into 5 groups (n=12) according to etching protocol: control-untreated; hydrofluoric acid (HF) 5% for 20 seconds (HF5%20s); HF5%60s; HF10%20s; and HF10%60s. Flexural strength was evaluated through 3-point bend testing. The fractured specimens were submitted to a morphological and metrical analysis of each pattern (LEU I-IV, LD I-III) on the lateral surface (LS) and of the dissolution areas (µm2) on the internal surface (IS) using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a software program (FIJI). Flexural strength (MPa) values were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA, Bonferroni test, and Weibull and the correlation between flexural strength and dissolution by Pearson correlation coefficient (α=.05). RESULTS: ANOVA revealed that the HF etching protocol was significant (P<.001) for LEU ceramic. When HF10%60s was applied, LEU showed Weibull characteristic strength (σθ) values lower than those of the other protocols. LD showed no difference in σθ and reliability (m) among the groups. The internal dissolution areas concerning LEU had a significant high negative correlation with the flexural strength (r=-0.6; P<.001). LEU-IV on the LS was the only pattern to show a significant decrease in flexural strength (r=-0.3, P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Special care should be taken when applying hydrofluoric acid on glass-ceramic restorations. Protocols with higher hydrofluoric acid concentrations and longer application times were more related to greater internal areas of dissolution which reduced the flexural strength of leucite ceramics.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the bond strength of a resin luting agent to a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic after the use of different fit-checking materials and cleaning protocols. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Two hundred and forty-two (242) ceramic specimens were etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20 seconds and distributed into 22 groups (n=10), in total. Four (4) groups were created based on fit-checking material and that had no following cleaning protocol: no fit-checking material used (control group); articulating paper; articulating spray; and fit-checker liquid. For each fit-checking material (3), 6 cleaning protocols were tested creating an additional 18 groups (n=10): air/water spray; 70% alcohol (ethanol); acetone; 35% phosphoric acid; 5% hydrofluoric acid; and a commercially available cleaning paste (Ivoclean, Ivoclar Vivadent). Silane and bonding resin were applied to all ceramic surfaces. Resin luting agent cylinders (1 mm in diameter) were created using silicone matrices, light-cured, and specimens were stored in deionized water at 37°C for 24 hours. Microshear bond strength test (µSBS) was performed on a universal testing machine (DL 500, EMIC) at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until failure. Results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). RESULTS: Articulating paper and fit-checker liquid, when not properly removed, negatively affected the bond strength (p<0.05). None of the tested cleaning protocols were effective for articulating paper (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in bond strength after the cleaning protocols between articulating spray and fit-checker liquid when compared to the control group (no contamination) (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: The cleaning protocols tested can effectively restore the bond strength of resin luting agents to lithium disilicate ceramics that were exposed to articulating spray or fit-checker liquid. The use of articulating paper is not recommended for fit-checking indirect lithium disilicate restorations.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Information regarding the masking ability of ceramic crowns over different implant abutment materials is scarce. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the masking ability of different monolithic or bilayer ceramic materials with different thicknesses over substrates indicated for implant restorations by using opaque and translucent evaluation pastes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Disk-shaped specimens, shade A1 (VITA Classic; Ø10×1.5 to 2.5 mm), of different ceramics (a bilayer system [yttria-stabilized zirconia infrastructure+porcelain veneer: Zir+Pc] and monolithic systems [lithium disilicate under low, medium, or high translucency: LtLD, MtLD, or HtLD, respectively, and a high-translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia: HtZir]) were made (n=4). The color difference (ΔE00) was assessed by using the CIEDE2000 formula and considering the different ceramic systems over 5 implant abutment materials (A1 shade Zir [Zir A1]; white Zir [White Zir]; A1 low-translucency lithium disilicate [LD]; polyetheretherketone [PEEK]; and titanium [Ti]) when using 2 different evaluation pastes (translucent or opaque). The control comparison was the restorative material positioned over the Zir A1 substrate with a translucent evaluation paste. Statistical analysis was made by using a 2-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests (α=.05) for ΔE00 data considering the restorative material and luting agent factors as their association. Additionally, ΔE00 data were qualitatively analyzed considering the acceptability and perceptibility thresholds. The translucency parameter (TP00) of each restorative material was evaluated, and data were submitted to 1-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests (α=.05). RESULTS: The most predictable masking ability was seen with Zir+Pc regardless of the evaluation paste used. Nevertheless, under 1.5-mm thickness, Zir+Pc did not adequately mask Ti (ΔE00>1.77). Most monolithic ceramics did not mask discolored substrates (PEEK or Ti, ΔE00>1.77). The exception was HtZir, which presented acceptable masking ability over PEEK at 2.5-mm thickness with both evaluation pastes (ΔE00<1.77). Regardless of the restorative material thickness, Zir+Pc showed the lowest (P<.05) TP00 values (TP00=3.45 at 1.5-mm thickness; TP00=2.00 at 2.5-mm thickness), and HtLD presented the highest (P<.05, TP00=23.50 at 1.5-mm thickness; TP00=13.36 at 2.5-mm thickness). HtZir showed similar TP00 to MtLD at 1.5-mm thickness and similar TP00 to Zir+Pc when used at 2.5-mm thickness (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS: Monolithic ceramics should be used with caution over discolored implant abutments. Bilayer systems (Zir+Pc) were the most predictable approach to adequately masking discolored substrates such as PEEK or Ti. An increased restoration thickness provided higher masking ability for all restorative materials tested.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the microshear bond strength (mSBS) of 10 universal adhesive systems applied on five different CAD/CAM restorative materials, immediately and after thermal aging. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Five CAD/CAM materials were selected: 1) feldspathic glass ceramic (FeCe); 2) pre-polymerized reinforced resin composite (ReRC); 3) leucite-reinforced glass ceramic (LeGC); 4) lithium disilicate (LiDi); and 5) yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide (ZiDi). For each material, 15 blocks were cut into four rectangular sections (6 × 6 × 6 mm; n=60 per group) and processed as recommended by the respective manufacturer. For each indirect material, the following adhesive systems were applied according to the respective manufacturer's instructions: 1) AdheSE Universal [ADU]; 2) All-Bond Universal [ABU]; 3) Ambar Universal [AMB]; 4) Clearfil Universal Bond [CFU]; 5) Futurabond U [FBU]; 6) One Coat 7 Universal [OCU]; 7) Peak Universal Bond [PUB]; 8) Prime&Bond Elect [PBE]; 9) Scotchbond Universal Adhesive [SBU]; 10) Xeno Select [XEN, negative control]. After the application of the adhesive system, cylinder-shaped transparent matrices were filled with a dual-curing resin cement (NX3) and light cured. Specimens were tested in shear mode at 1.0 mm/min (mSBS), after 24 hours and 10,000 thermal cycles (TC). All data were submitted to statistical analysis (α=0.05). RESULTS: For FeCe, there was no significant decrease in mean mSBS for AMB, FBU, and SBU after TC when compared at 24 hours. For ReRC, AMB and SBU showed higher mean mSBS when compared to CFU and XEN, after 24 hours and TC. For LiDi, FBU and OCU showed higher mean mSBS when compared to CFU and XEN, after 24 hours and TC. For LeGC, AMB and PUB showed higher mean mSBS when compared to XEN, after 24 hours and TC. For ZiDi, OCU and SBU showed higher mean mSBS when compared to XEN, after 24 hours and TC. In addition, PBE and XEN showed the lowest mean mSBS after TC with higher percentage of bond strength reduction. CONCLUSIONS: The mean mSBS among the different universal adhesives varied widely for each CAD/CAM material used. In addition, most universal adhesives underwent a statistically significant bond strength reduction after TC.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Whether procedures performed before the cementation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) glass-ceramic restorations, including milling, fitting adjustment, and hydrofluoric acid etching introduce defects on the ceramic surface that affect the mechanical and surface properties is unclear. PURPOSE: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the effect of milling, fitting adjustments, and hydrofluoric acid etching (HF) on the flexural strength and roughness (Ra) of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Literature searches were performed up to June 2020 in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, with no publication year or language limits. The focused question was "Do milling, fitting adjustments, and hydrofluoric acid etching affect the flexural strength and roughness of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics?" For the meta-analysis, flexural strength and Ra data on milling, fitting adjustment, and HF etching versus control (polishing) were analyzed globally. A subgroup analysis assessed the effect of etching parameters (HF concentration and time) on the flexural strength and roughness of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics with different microstructures. Comparisons were performed with random-effect models at 5% significance. RESULTS: Fourteen studies from 2764 potentially relevant records were included in the qualitative syntheses, and 12 in the meta-analysis. Milling and fitting adjustments increased roughness and reduced the flexural strength of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics. The effect of HF etching was dependent on the glass-ceramic microstructure, HF concentration, and etching time. For feldspathic- and leucite-reinforced ceramics, HF 5% applied for between 30 and 120 seconds increased roughness without affecting flexural strength. For lithium disilicate glass-ceramics, HF concentrations greater than 4.9% used for 20 seconds or more reduced the strength without affecting the surface roughness. CONCLUSIONS: The flexural strength of CAD-CAM glass-ceramic is reduced by grinding procedures such as milling and fitting adjustment. Ceramic microstructure, HF concentration, and etching time determined the effect of hydrofluoric acid etching on the flexural strength and surface roughness of glass-ceramic materials.

Objetivo: relatar um caso clínico em que a paciente buscava um tratamento não invasivo para reabilitação estética anterior em um quadro de presença de agenesia, dente conoide e restaurações insatisfatórias. Relato de caso: a paciente B.M.S., de 19 anos, procurou uma clínica particular em Belo Horizonte, insatisfeita com seus dentes anteriores, em função de uma agenesia do dente 22, restabelecida através de uma ponte adesiva de coloração mais escura, restauração de resina composta manchada no dente 12, que é conoide, e manchamento das restaurações em resina composta dos dentes 11, 13 e 21. Para o planejamento, considerou-se que a paciente não queria se submeter a procedimentos cirúrgicos, como implantes dentários. O tratamento proposto foi a confecção de seis restaurações cerâmicas, associando lâminas ultrafinas de 0,5 mm a uma ponte adesiva. A estética do sorriso foi restabelecida de acordo com as expectativas da paciente e dos profissionais envolvidos. Considerações finais: o tratamento foi considerado uma possibilidade real e conservadora, já que foram realizados preparos minimamente invasivos e a paciente não foi submetida à instalação de implantes. A ponte adesiva associada aos laminados cerâmicos foi extremamente satisfatória em relação ao restabelecimento da estética e da função do sorriso da paciente.(AU)
Objective: to report a case in which a patient sought noninvasive treatment for anterior aesthetic rehabilitation in the presence of agenesis, controlled tooth and unsatisfactory restoration. Case report: a 19-year-old BMS patient sought a specific clinic in Belo Horizonte, with anterior tooth problems, on a function of tooth agenesis 22, restored a darker-colored adhesive bridge, isolated resin restoration on tooth 12, which is tested and found in composite resin restorations of teeth 11, 13 and 21. For the planning considered, the patient did not want to undergo surgical procedures such as dental implants. The proposed treatment was the fabrication of six ceramic restorations, associating ultra-thin 0.5 mm blades with an adhesive bridge. The aesthetics of the smile were restored according to the expectations of the patient and the professionals involved. Final considerations: the treatment was considered a real and conservative possibility, since minimally invasive preparations were performed and one patient was not submitted to implant placement. The adhesive bridge associated with ceramic laminates was extremely satisfactory regarding the restoration of the aesthetics and smile function of the patient.(AU)

Este estudo tem o objetivo de determinar as propriedades mecânicas (dureza, tenacidade à fratura e resistência inerte), microestrutura, susceptibilidade ao crescimento subcrítico de trincas (CST), a topografia superficial e energia livre de superfície de quatro vitrocerâmicas, duas comerciais e duas experimentais. Foi utilizado dissilicato de lítio (IPS E.max CAD, IvoclarVivadent), silicato de lítio reforçado com dióxido de zircônia (Celtra Duo, Dentsply), e vitrocerâmicas experimentais a base de dissilicato de lítio e a base de metassilicato de lítio do Departamento de Engenharinha de Materiais (DEMa/UFSCar). 60 discos de cada material foram confeccionados, com dimensões de 1,2 de espessura x 12 mm de diâmetro. Para a determinação dos parâmetros de CST, inicialmente foi realizado o teste de resistência à flexão biaxial em meio inerte (óleo mineral), sob a maior taxa de tensão (50 MPa/s). Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de Weibull. A média de resistência e o módulo de Weibull foram de 382,8 MPa e 10,15, 148,5 MPa e 8,41, 233,5 MPa e 5,04 e 280,4 MPa e 6,87 para o Emax, Celtra Duo, Dissilicato experimental e Metassilicato experimental respectivamente.O restante das amostras foi testado sob cinco taxas de tensão constante: 0,005; 0,05; 0,5; 5 e 50 MPa/s, também em flexão biaxial.Cinco amostras de cada grupo foram confeccionadas e utilizadas para determinação da energia livre de superfície (ELS) através da goniometria, onde a vitrocerâmicaEmax apresentou o maior valor de energia polar e total em comparação com os demais materiais, que apresentaram valores semelhantes. A análise fractográficafoi realizada em Estereomicroscópio e Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV) para auxiliar na determinação das características e origem da fratura. MEV. Para avaliar o padrão de cristalização das cerâmicas foi usada a análise por difração de raios-X (DRX). As médias de dureza e tenacidade à fratura (MPa.m1/2) foram de 605,40 HV para Emax, 663,3 HV e 1,24 para Celtra Duo, 576,50 HV e 1,60 para o Dissilicato experimental e 560,60 HV e 1,9 para o Metassilicato experimental. O material que apresentou a maior susceptibilidade ao CLT foi o Metassilicato experimental, e o que apresentou o maior coeficiente de CLT foi o Celtra Duo(AU)
This study aims to determine the mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness and inert strength), microstructure, and susceptibility to slow crack growth of four glass-ceramics. The glass-ceramics used will be: lithium disilicate (IPS E.max CAD, IvoclarVivadent) and lithium silicate reinforced by zirconium dioxide (Celtra Duo, Dentsply), which are being used as a control group, and two experimental glass-based lithium disilicate and lithium metasilicate. Sixty discs of each material were made with dimensions of 1.2 mm of thickness x 12 mm of diameter. To determine the slow crack growth parameters, the biaxial flexural strength test was initially performed using an inert medium (mineral oil) under the highest stress rate (50 MPa/s). The results were submitted to Weibull's analysis. The rest of the specimens was tested in water under five constant stress rates: 0.005; 0.05; 0,5; 5 and 50 MPa/s. Throughout the biaxial flexural strength test, the specimens were positioned in a circular metal base with three 3.2 mm diameter balls, equidistant from each other, forming a plane (ISO 6872).Five samples from each group were used to determine the free surface energy through goniometry, where the glass ceramic Emax showed the highest value of polar and total energy compared to the other materials, which presented similar values. The average strength and the Weibull modulus were 382.8 MPa and 10.15, 148.5 MPa and 8.41, 233.5 MPa and 5.04 and 280.4 MPa and 6.87 for the Emax, Celtra Duo, experimental Dissilicate and experimental Metassilicaterespectively.Thefractographic analysis was performed in Stereomicroscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to assist in the determination of the fracture characteristics and failure origin. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to evaluate the crystallization pattern of the ceramics. The Vickers hardness and fracture toughness (MPa.m1/2) were 605.40 HV for Emax, 663.3 HV and 1.24 for Celtra Duo, 576.50 HV and 1.60 for Dissilicate, and 560.60 HV and 1.9 for the Metassilicate.The glass ceramic with the greatest susceptibility to CLT was the experimental metasilicate, and the group with the highest SCG coefficient was Celtra Duo(AU)

Abstract Research on biomaterials of natural origin has gained prominence in the literature. Above all, marine sponges, due to their architecture and structural components, present a promising potential for the engineering of bone tissue. In vitro studies demonstrate that a biosilica of marine sponges has osteogenic potential. However, in vivo works are needed to elucidate the interaction of biosilica (BS) and bone tissue. The objective of the study was to evaluate the morphological and chemical characteristics of BS compared to Bioglass (BG) by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray dispersive energy (EDX) spectroscopy. In addition, to evaluate the biological effects of BS, through an experimental model of tibial bone defect using histopathological, histomorphometric, immunohistochemical (IHC) and mechanical tests. SEM and EDX demonstrated the successful extraction of BS. Histopathological analysis demonstrated that Control Group (GC) had greater formation of newly formed bone tissue compared to BG and BS, yet BG bone neoformation was greater than BS. However, BS showed material degradation and granulation tissue formation, with absence of inflammatory process and formation of fibrotic capsule. The results of histomorphometry corroborate with those of histopathology, where it is worth emphasizing the positive influence of BS in osteoblastic activity. IHQ demonstrated positive VEGF and TGF-β immunoexpression for GC, BS and BG. In the mechanical test no significant differences were found. The present results demonstrate the potential of BS in bone repair, further studies are needed other forms of presentation of BS are needed.

Resumen Objetivo: Comparar in vitro la microfiltración apical en premolares unirradiculares obturados con cemento a base de resina epóxica y cemento biocerámico. Método: 40 piezas dentales unirradiculares fueron seleccionadas y divididas en dos grupos para ser obturadas esperando el tiempo de fraguado de acuerdo con las instrucciones del fabricante. El grupo A se obturó con cemento biocerámico Endosequence y, el grupo B, con cemento a base de resina epóxica AH-Plus: posteriormente los dos grupos fueron sellados con barniz de uñas hasta 3mm de la parte apical, luego se colocaron las muestras en la incubadora a 37ºC. Ambos fueron sometidos a 750 ciclos de termociclado, para reproducir el ambiente parecido a la cavidad oral. Para análisis de microfiltración se utilizó el método de difusión del colorante, se sumergieron en azul de metileno al 2 % por 6 días, posteriormente los especímenes fueron sometidos en una bomba de vacío. Los dientes fueron cortados longitudinalmente para ser evaluadas mediante el estereomicroscopio. El análisis estadístico fue hecho mediante T-Student y Chi-Cuadrado. Resultados: El grupo A corresponde a Endosequence obtuvo una medida de 0,55mm y el grupo B corresponde a AH-Plus 1,20mm con un estimado de significancia de p=0,013. Conclusión: El análisis de ambos cementos de obturación demostró que Endosequence posee menor microfiltración apical que AH-Plus.
Abstract Aim: To compare in vitro by the stereomiscroscope the lesser apical microfiltration in uniradicular premolars, between the cement based on Epoxy Resin and Bioceramic cement. Method: The study was performed on 40 uniradicular dental pieces divided into two groups, the samples were prepared using the protaper system and the obturation was performed using the lateral condensation technique, the first group was sealed withEndosequence bioceramic cement and the second group with Cement based on AH-Plus epoxy resin, then sealed with nail varnish up to 3mm from the apical part, then the samples were placed in the incubator at 37ºC, waiting for the set time corresponding to each group according to the manufacturer's instructions . The two groups of the present study were submitted to 750 cycles of thermocycling, to provide an environment similar to the oral cavity, then longitudinal cuts were made to the samples. The microfiltration was evaluated using the dye diffusion method, immersed in 2% methylene blue for 6 days, then the specimens were subjected to a vacuum pump. The teeth were cut longitudinally to be evaluated by the stereomicroscope. The statistical analysis was through T-Student and Chi-Square. Results: Group A corresponds to Endosequence obtained a mean of 0,55mm and Group B corresponds to AH-Plus 1,20mm with an estimated significance of p = 0,013. Conclusion: Both obturation cements have significant differences, therefore Endosequence has less apical microfiltration than AHPlus.

Bioactive glasses (BG) are known for their ability to bond to bone tissue. However, in critical situations, even the osteogenic properties of BG may be not enough to induce bone consolidation. Thus, the enrichment of BG with polymers such as Poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) and associated to photobiomodulation (PBM) may be a promising strategy to promote bone tissue healing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vivo performance of PLGA supplemented BG, associated to PBM therapy, using an experimental model of cranial bone defect in rats. Rats were distributed in 4 different groups (Bioglass, Bioglass/PBM, Bioglas/PLGA and BG/PLGA/PBM). After the surgical procedure to induce cranial bone defects, the pre-set samples were implanted and PBM treatment (low-level laser therapy) started (808 nm, 100 mW, 30 J/cm2). After 2 and 6 weeks, animals were euthanized, and the samples were retrieved for the histopathological, histomorphometric, picrosirius red staining and immunohistochemistry analysis. At 2 weeks post-surgery, it was observed granulation tissue and areas of newly formed bone in all experimental groups. At 6 weeks post-surgery, BG/PLGA (with or without PBM) more mature tissue around the biomaterial particles. Furthermore, there was a higher deposition of collagen for BG/PLGA in comparison with BG/PLGA/PBM, at second time-point. Histomorphometric analysis demonstrated higher values of BM.V/TV for BG compared to BG/PLGA (2 weeks post-surgery) and N.Ob/T.Ar for BG/PLGA compared to BG and BG/PBM (6 weeks post-surgery). This current study concluded that the use of BG/PLGA composites, associated or not to PBM, is a promising strategy for bone tissue engineering.

ABSTRACT Non-Carious Cervical Lesions (NCCL) are a current problem of multifactorial origin that is associated with the loss of vertical occlusal dimension, hypersensitivity, loss of teeth, fractures, and many other pathologies that affect the masticatory function of the oral cavity. Identification of the etiological factors of NCCL comprises a key piece for the solution of the problem. Based on clinical scientific evidence related with the diagnosis, a restorative treatment must be planned according to the loss of dental structure in order to return function and aesthetics. The purpose of this case report was to describe a 54-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with generalized NCCL combined with occlusal vertical dimension loss. The protocol of the treatment process is described.

Purpose: De-bonding strength of ceramic veneers by laser use needs to be evaluated in detail. The aim of this study, is to determine the contribution of ceramic thickness and cementing agents to the de-bonding strength of ceramic veneers using Er,Cr:YSGG laser. Methods: A total of 120 maxillary central incisors specimens were randomly divided into twelve groups on the basis of disc thickness, cementing agent, and Er,Cr:YSGG laser use. Under laboratory conditions, 120 IPS Empress II system discs 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm in thickness were applied to the tooth surfaces, for laser use. An Er,Cr:YSGG laser system was applied to the central surface of the IPS Empress II discs on specimens in all laser groups (Groups 1,3,5,7,9,11). Then the shear bond strength (SBS) for all specimens were tested with a testing machine at a speed of 0.5mm/min. The SBS values were considered as the de-bonding strength. Results: The mean de-bonding strength values for Groups 9 and 11 (0,5 mm disc thickness + laser application) have the lowest median load (0.000 N), while Group 4 (2mm disc thickness + no laser) has the highest median load (573.885 N). The de-bonding strengths of all the groups without laser application were higher than those of all groups with laser use. When laser is applied, the mean de-bonding strength decreases with decreasing disc thickness, and it reaches zero at 0.5mm thickness of discs cemented by self- or total-etch adhesives. Conclusions: The de-bonding strength decreases with laser use, and decreasing disc thickness. In the absence of laser, the mean de-bonding values of discs cemented by a total etch adhesive system are always higher than those of discs cemented with a self-etch adhesive system. Without any extra load, all 0.5mm thick discs were dislodged from teeth while applying or testing the laser.
Propósito: La resistencia de desunión de las carillas de cerámica mediante el uso del láser debe evaluarse en detalle. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la contribución del espesor de la cerámica y los agentes de cementación a la resistencia de desunión de las carillas de cerámica utilizando el láser Er, Cr: YSGG. Métodos: Un total de 120 incisivos centrales maxilares se dividieron al azar en doce grupos según el grosor del disco, el agente de cementación y el uso del láser Er, Cr: YSGG. En condiciones de laboratorio, se aplicaron en las superficies de los dientes 120 discos del sistema IPS Empress II de 0,5mm, 1mm y 2mm de grosor, para uso con láser. Se aplicó un sistema láser Er, Cr: YSGG a la superficie central de los discos IPS Empress II en muestras de todos los grupos de láser (Grupos 1,3,5,7,9,11). Luego, la resistencia de la unión al cizallamiento (SBS) para todas las muestras se probó con una máquina de prueba a una velocidad de 0.5mm/min. Los valores de SBS se consideraron como la fuerza de desunión. Resultados: Los valores medios de resistencia de desunión para los Grupos 9 y 11 (espesor de disco de 0,5mm + aplicación de láser) demostró la carga media más baja (0,000 N), mientras que el Grupo 4 (espesor de disco de 2 mm + sin láser) tuvo la carga media más alta (573.885 N). Las fuerzas de desunión de todos los grupos sin aplicación de láser fueron superiores a las de todos los grupos con uso de láser. Cuando se aplica el láser, la fuerza media de desunión disminuye al disminuir el grosor del disco, y llega a cero con el grosor de 0,5mm de los discos cementados, para ambos adhesivos de grabado. Conclusiones: la fuerza de desunión disminuye con el uso del láser y disminuye con el grosor del disco. En ausencia de láser, los valores medios de desunión de los discos cementados con un sistema de adhesivo de grabado total son siempre más altos que los de los discos cementados con un sistema de adhesivo de autograbado. Sin ninguna carga adicional, todos los discos de 0,5mm de grosor se desprendieron de los dientes al aplicar el láser.

With the advancement in ceramic restorations bonded to tooth structure, the treatment has become a feasible and conservative option to restore teeth with alteration in shape when owing to high demand in esthetics, with or without minimum tooth preparation. This article describes a report of a 32-year-old woman who was dissatisfied with her smile. The patient reported that she still had deciduous teeth, and that the maxillary lateral incisors had been restored with direct resin composite to correct the teeth shape. After discussing the restorative possibilities, a decision was made to place all-ceramic crowns (lithium disilicate glass-ceramic) with minimal tooth preparation, which figures as a conservative full-coverage approach. An esthetic outcome resembling a natural-looking smile resulted in the patient's satisfaction. Bonding of all-ceramic crowns onto minimally prepared deciduous teeth figures as a conservative treatment in case of partial anodontia, which decreases the chance of root resorption induced by trauma and benefits from good adhesion to enamel.
