RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the polishing effect on roughness and color change of pressed and layering ceramics after immersion in coffee solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 88 ceramic discs (1.0 mm × 10.0 mm) were manufactured - 44 nano-fluorapatite layering ceramics (IPS e.max Ceram. Group C) and 44 pressed lithium disilicate ceramic discs (IPS e. max Press - Group P). Each group was divided into 4 subgroups according to surface treatments: (G) Glaze, (S) Shofu polishing system (Shofu Inc.), (E) Edenta AG polishing System, (KG) 30-µm diamond granulation tip. Surface roughness (Ra) and color change (ΔE) measurings after the surface treatments were performed, before and 12 days after the immersion in coffee solution. A samples' qualitative analysis was conducted with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were statistically-treated with one-way-ANOVA and Duncan's tests, apart from paired t-test and Pearson's correlation test (α=5%). RESULTS: The decrescent order, both for surface roughness (Ra) and ΔE for both ceramics were: KG > E > S > G (P<.05). With exception for PG and CG subgroups, which did not present statistical difference between them, all other pressed ceramics subgroups presented smaller Ra values and greater ΔE values than the layering ceramics subgroups (P<.05). CONCLUSION: Although mechanical polishing systems presented intermediate Ra values, their colors were considered clinically acceptable. There is a strong correlation between the surface roughness and the color change of tested ceramics.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To minimize misfit between prosthesis and implant, the welding of the implant fixed partial denture (IFPD) framework is recommended and autopolymerized acrylic resin (AR) is the material of choice for the indexing process. As for any prosthetic device that comes into contact with saliva and blood in the oral cavity, IFPD indexed with AR must be disinfected before sending to the laboratory. However, disinfection procedures are often neglected for fear of shrinkage or distortion caused by a dimensional change of the acrylic resin. Peracetic acid is a high-level disinfectant agent at low concentrations and immersion time, with no reported toxic residues, and it is not inactivated in the presence of organic matter when compared to other disinfectants. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of 0.2% peracetic acid disinfectant solution after different storage media and times on the horizontal dimension of IFPD frameworks indexed with AR. MATERIAL AND METHODS: IFPD frameworks were indexed with two AR: group 1 Duralay and group 2 Pattern Resin LS. Each group was further divided into five subgroups according to disinfection procedure and storage medium: no disinfection and dry storage, no disinfection and water storage, 0.2% peracetic acid disinfection and water storage, 0.2% peracetic acid disinfection and peracetic acid storage, and 0.2% peracetic acid disinfection and dry storage. The horizontal dimension of the specimens and an average was established for analysis. Measurements were performed at four different storage times (hours): T0, T24, T48, T168. RESULTS: No statistical differences were found when T0 was compared to T168 for Pattern resin groups submitted to disinfection and storage in water (group 2b, p = 1.000) or peracetic acid solution (group 2c, p = 0.352). For Duralay groups, the use of peracetic acid solution did not affect the horizontal dimension of the specimens when T0 was compared to T168 only with water as a storage medium (group 1b, p = 1.000). Additionally, T0 did not differ from T24 for groups 1c (p = 0.553), 2b (p = 1.000), 2d (p = 0.234), and 2e (p = 1.000) and from T48 for groups 1d (p = 0.118) and 2b (p = 1.000). CONCLUSION: Within the studied conditions, the use of 0.2% peracetic acid can be safely used as a disinfectant solution regarding dimensional stability of AR-indexed IFPD until 7 days of storage. Horizontal discrepancies are dependent on acrylic resin type, time, and medium of storage.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso clínico onde o planejamento reverso e o uso racional das cirurgias implantares e periodontais mostraram-se fundamentais no preparo para reabilitação da zona estética com coroas cerâmicas e metalocerâmicas. Uma paciente de 32 anos apresentava estética pobre, como ausências dentárias isoladas e perda de tecido mole/duro na região dos caninos superiores. O tratamento foi dividido em cinco etapas: 1) coroas provisórias e correção do plano oclusal e corredor bucal; 2) expansão da crista do rebordo e implantes conexão cone-morse/platform-switching (em dois estágios); 3) gengivoplastia; 4) reabertura e cirurgias gengivais (gengivectomia, enxerto ósseo/de tecido conjuntivo, divisão de papilas); e 5) condicionamento e colocação das coroas cerâmicas defi nitivas nos dentes (cimento resinoso) e metalocerâmicas (cimento fosfato de zinco) sobre os implantes. O desenvolvimento deste caso está baseado no uso da biomecânica de interface implante/pilar que confere os menores valores de reabsorção óssea ao longo do tempo, fornecendo restaurações definitivas com aspecto natural, e ainda apoiado por uma revisão sistemática demonstrando a eficácia do tecido conjuntivo subepitelial no aumento da largura queratinizada ao redor dos implantes. A finalização obtida é esteticamente aceitável e durável, muito desejável na região anterior da maxila.

The objective of this study was to report a case where the reverse planning and the rational use of implant and periodontal surgical protocols were fundamental to prepare the rehabilitation in the esthetic zone with all-ceramic and metalloceramic crowns. A 32 years-old patient had poor aesthetics, single-tooth defi cits, and soft/hard tissue losses in the region of the upper canines. After a concise planning, the treatment was divided into fi ve steps: 1) temporary crowns, correction of occlusal plane and buccal corridor; 2) ridge expansion, morse cone/platform-switching dental implants (two-stage procedure); 3) gingivoplasty; 4) implant exposure and gingival surgeries (gingivectomy, bone graft/connective tissue grafts, pedicle flaps); and 5) tissue conditioning and cementation of all-ceramic (resin cement) over teeth and metalloceramic (zinc phosphate cement) over the implant abutments. The development of this case is based on the use of a biomechanical implant interface/abutment which gives lower values of bone resorption over time, providing final restorations with a natural aspect, and still supported by a systematic review demonstrating the effectiveness of subepithelial connective tissue grafts to increase the width of the keratinized peri-implant mucosa. The outcome is esthetically acceptable and has long-term quality, a very desirable condition in the anterior maxilla.

RESUMO

Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar in vitro a quantidade de torque manual gerada por profissionais de diferentes gêneros em parafusos utilizados em próteses implantossuportadas. Um manequim odontológico foi usado para simular uma condição clínica. Quatro implantes osseointegrados foram instalados na área de primeiro e segundo molar inferior direito e esquerdo. Dez profissionais participaram do estudo sendo que aos mesmos foi solicitado aplicar o torque máximo a quatro tipos de parafusos diferentes (Parafusos UCLA de titânio, UCLA de ouro, de retenção de ouro e esteticone). Após o torque aplicado, foi medido o destorque que foi considerado como o torque gerado. Cada participante realizou este procedimento três vezes em cada parafuso, com intervalo de tempo de 1 minuto. Os resultados encontrados mostraram diferenças significativas entre os profissionais, mas não entre o gênero masculino e feminino. Concluiu-se que quando o torque é aplicado de forma manual espera-se uma variabilidade na quantidade de torque gerada, mas não existindo diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre profissionais de diferentes gêneros

This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the amount of torque generated manually by professionals from different genres in different types of screws used in implant prosthesis. A dental mannequin was used to simulate a clinical condition. Four dental implants were attached in the area of the first and second molar right and left. Ten professionals have participated, and were asked to apply the maximum torque to four different types of screw (titanium and gold screws UCLA, gold retention screw and esteticone). After applying the torque, detorque was measured and considered as generated torque. Each professional has performed this procedure three times with each screw with one minute interval. Results have shown significant differences among professionals, but not between males and females. Therefore it was concluded that when torque is applied manually a variability in the quantity of generated torque is expected, but with no significant differences between professionals from different genres

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate misfit alterations at the implant/abutment interface of external and internal connection implant systems when subjected to cyclic loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Standard metal crowns were fabricated for 5 groups (n=10) of implant/abutment assemblies: Group 1, external hexagon implant and UCLA cast-on premachined abutment; Group 2, internal hexagon implant and premachined abutment; Group 3, internal octagon implant and prefabricated abutment; Group 4, external hexagon implant and UCLA cast-on premachined abutment; and Group 5, external hexagon implant and Ceraone abutment. For groups 1, 2, 3 and 5, the crowns were cemented on the abutments and in group 4 crowns were screwed directly on the implant. The specimens were subjected to 500,000 cycles at 19.1 Hz of frequency and non-axial load of 133 N in a MTS 810 machine. The vertical misfit (µm) at the implant/abutment interface was evaluated before (B) and after (A) application of the cyclic loading. Data were analyzed statistically by using two-away ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (p<0.05). RESULTS: Before loading values showed no difference among groups 2 (4.33 ± 3.13), 3 (4.79 ± 3.43) and 5 (3.86 ± 4.60); between groups 1 (12.88 ± 6.43) and 4 (9.67 ± 3.08), and among groups 2, 3 and 4. However, groups 1 and 4 were significantly different from groups 2, 3 and 5. After loading values of groups 1 (17.28 ± 8.77) and 4 (17.78 ± 10.99) were significantly different from those of groups 2 (4.83 ± 4.50), 3 (8.07 ± 4.31) and 5 (3.81 ± 4.84). There was a significant increase in misfit values of groups 1, 3 and 4 after cyclic loading, but not for groups 2 and 5. CONCLUSIONS: The cyclic loading and type of implant/abutment connection may develop a role on the vertical misfit at the implant/abutment interface.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Esthetic post and core systems were recently introduced. There are few reports regarding their behavior under cyclic loading. OBJECTIVES: This study compared the effect of cyclic loading on survival rate, residual strength and mode of fracture of endodontically treated teeth restored with esthetic and direct metallic post systems subjected to mechanical cyclic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty canines were endodontically treated, decoronated and prepared for metal free ceramic crowns, leaving 1.5 mm of dentin for ferrule effect. They were distributed in 3 groups and restored as follows: group 1 with zirconia posts (Cosmopost) and glass-ceramic cores (IPS Empress Cosmopost); group 2 with fiber reinforced composite posts (FibreKor) and group 3 with titanium posts (AZthec Anchor). Direct resin composite (Build It FR Resin Composite) was used as core in groups 2 and 3. All specimens were restored with all ceramic crowns (IPS Empress 2). A resin cement/adhesive system (Cement It/Bond It Primer A+B) was used to lute the posts to root canals and metal free porcelain crowns to the teeth preparation. Specimens were subjected to mechanical load of 250 N for 500,000x at a frequency of 1.7 Hz and then to static load until failure in a universal testing machine. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Fischer Exact tests alpha=0.05. RESULTS: All groups had 100 percent survival rate after cyclic loading; fracture strength values (SD) in N were: group 1 = 886.5(170.6), group 2 = 762.2(113.6) and group 3 = 768.9(72.9); there was no difference among groups (p=0.08); the percentage of mode of favorable fracture found was: group 1 = 60 percent, group 2 = 90 percent and group 3 = 50 percent; there was no correlation between the mode of failure and post and core system used (P=0.142).

RESUMO

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The bond strength of composite resin cores to the smooth surface of prefabricated zirconia-based ceramic posts is problematic because it might not be sufficient to ensure stability of the post-and-core system. It is also not clear whether any alteration of the post surface to provide additional mechanical or chemical retention would compromise flexural strength of the posts. PURPOSE: This study tested the effect of a tribochemical treatment on the bond strength (BS) between zirconia-based ceramic posts and composite resin and on the flexural strength (FS) of the posts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For the BS test, 2 groups of specimens (n = 10) were prepared as follows: In the experimental (E) group, zirconia-based ceramic posts (Cosmopost), 21 mm long and 1.7 mm in diameter, were treated with a tribochemical silica coating and silanization system (Rocatec). For the control (C) group, zirconia-based ceramic posts were used as supplied by the manufacturer. For the 2 groups, posts were centered and vertically positioned in a metal mold, and composite resin (Tetric Ceram) was polymerized around the posts to form rings (6 mm diameter x 4 mm height). All specimens were positioned in a universal testing machine, and a load was applied axially on the protruding heads of posts in a shear push-out mode test until bond failure (MPa). Fracture mode was assessed as cohesive, cohesive/adhesive, or adhesive. Following this, the FS of the posts was measured in MPa using a 3-point bending test. Data were recorded and statistically analyzed using the Student t test for both tests (alpha = .01). RESULTS: Mean fracture load values +/- SDs for the BS test were 28.1 +/- 2.3 MPa and 8.9 +/- 3.97 MPa for the E and C groups, respectively. The mean FS values were 1544.9 +/- 214.1 MPa and 844.8 +/- 50.8 MPa for the E and C groups, respectively. The tribochemically treated posts exhibited significantly higher values for both bond strength to composite resin and resistance to fracture when compared to posts in the control group (P < .001). Fracture analysis showed 100% cohesive/adhesive fractures for group E specimens and 100% adhesive fractures for group C specimens. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a tribochemical silica coating process and silanization on zirconia-based ceramic posts increased both the bond strength to composite resin as well as the fracture strength of posts.

RESUMO

É grande a demanda por um sorriso de aparência natural nos consultórios odontológicos. Nesse aspecto, os implantes osseointegrados têm se destacado como alternativa previsível na reposição de elementos perdidos em regiões de alta exigência estética. No entanto, em algumas situações, a espessura do tecido gengival torna o uso de componentes protéticos metálicos tradicionais problemático, devido à transparência da cor acinzentada do metal no colo do elemento protético reposto. Neste caso clínico, utilizou-se um pilar protético cerâmico associado a uma coroa de porcelana pura, para otimizar os resultados estéticos, favorecendo a harmonia entre o pilar, a coroa e os tecidos moles circundantes.

RESUMO

No presente estudo in vitro, avaliou-se a quantidade de torque gerada pelos torquímetros: Nobelpharma de 20 e 32 N/cm (Nobel Biocare/Sweden) (IA e IB), Torque Driver 3I de 20 e 32 N/cm (Implant Innovations/USA) (2A e 2B), Torque-Lock em 20 30 N/cm (Intra-Lock/USA) (3A e 3B) e Dyna de 20 e 30 N/cm (Dyna Torq/USA) (4A e 4B), em dez parafusos UCLA titânio (3I implants innovations REF UNIH/USA T). Mediu-se a quantidade de torque necessária para o afrouxamento do parafuso após o torque com cada torquímetro, utilizando-se um medidor analógico de torque (TOHNICHI BTG60CN/JAPAN). Os resultados mostraram diferenças estatisticamente significantes nos torquímetros 1A e 2A com os torquímetros 3A e 4A. Houve também diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os torquímetros 1B e 2B, asim como entre os torquímetros 3B e 4B. Além disso, encontraram-se diferenças no torque produzido e o torque programado nos torquímetros 3A e 3B, e 4A e 4B, concluindo-se que os torquímetros eletrônico Nobelpharma e 3I de 20 e 32 N/cm geram a quantidade de torque para a qual são programados enquanto que os torquímetros Torque Lock e Dyna de 20 e 30 N/cm não geram a quantidade de torque para o qual são programados
