RESUMO
Despite requiring dental crown preparation and possible root canal treatment, besides the difficulty of clinical and laboratory repairs, and financial burden, the association between fixed (FPD) and removable partial dentures (RPD) by means of attachments is an important alternative for oral rehabilitation, particularly when the use of dental implants and FPDs is limited or not indicated. Among the advantages of attachment-retained RPDs are the improvements in esthetics and biomechanics, as well as correction of the buccal arrangement of anterior teeth in Kennedy Class III partially edentulous arches. This article describes the treatment sequence and technique for the use of attachments in therapy combining FPD/RPD.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Investigation of surface treatments to improve the bond of resin cements to metals may contribute to the longevity of metal ceramic restorations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin cement to nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty cast NiCr alloy disks (9 × 3 mm) were divided into 8 groups (n=10), which received 1 of the following surface treatments: 1) 50 µm Al(2)O(3) particles + silane; 2) 120 µm Al(2)O(3) + silane; 3) 30 µm silica-modified Al(2)O(3) (Cojet Sand) + silane; 4) 120 µm Al(2)O(3) followed by 110 µm silica-modified Al(2)O(3) (Rocatec) + silane; 5) 50 µm Al(2)O(3) + metal primer; 6) 120 µm Al(2)O(3) + metal primer; 7) 30 µm silica-modified Al(2)O(3) (Cojet Sand) + metal primer; and 8) 120 µm Al(2)O(3) followed by 110 µm silica-modified Al(2)O(3) (Rocatec) + metal primer. The silane was RelyX Ceramic Primer and the metal primer Alloy Primer. RelyX ARC resin cement was bonded to NiCr alloy surfaces. Specimens were thermally cycled before shear mode testing. Data (MPa) were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey test (α=.05). Failure mode was determined with a stereomicroscope (×20). RESULTS: The results revealed that surface treatment was significant (P<.001). There was no significant difference between 50 µm and 120 µm Al(2)O(3) particles, regardless of the bonding agent used (silane or metal primer). Cojet Sand provided lower SBS than Rocatec, both in the groups treated with silane (P<.001) and metal primer (P<.01). No significant difference was observed between silane and metal primer in the groups abraded with 50 µm and 120 µm Al(2)O(3) particles. Metal primer decreased the SBS of both Cojet Sand and Rocatec groups (P<.001). Rocatec + silane had the highest SBS and Cojet Sand + metal primer the lowest. All groups presented 100% adhesive failure. CONCLUSIONS: Particle size influenced SBS only in the groups abraded with silica-modified Al(2)O(3). The bonding agent did not affect SBS in the groups abraded with Al(2)O(3). Alloy Primer was not chemically compatible with silica-modified Al(2)O(3). Both mechanical (particle size) and chemical (silica/silane interaction) factors contributed to the high SBS of Rocatec + silane.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin cement to commercially pure titanium (CP Ti). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred cast CP Ti disks were divided into 5 groups (n = 40), which were treated with one of the following air-abrasion techniques: (1) 50-µm Al2O3 particles; (2) 120-µm Al2O3 particles; (3) 250-µm Al2O3 particles; (4) 30-µm silica-modified Al2O3 particles (Cojet Sand); (5) 50-µm Al2O3 particles followed by 110-µm silica-modified Al2O3 particles (Rocatec Plus). For each air-abrasion technique, the following additional surface treatments were used (n = 10): (1) none; (2) adhesive Adper Single Bond 2; (3) silane RelyX Ceramic Primer; (4) silane plus adhesive. RelyX ARC resin cement was bonded to CP Ti surfaces. All specimens were thermocycled (5,000 cycles) before being tested in shear mode. Data (MPa) were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Failure mode was determined with a stereomicroscope (20X). RESULTS: The results revealed that the air-abrasion technique (p < 0.001), additional surface treatment (p < 0.001) and their interaction were significant (p < 0.001). Except for the 50-µm Al2O3 + adhesive group, 250-µm Al2O3 particles promoted significantly higher SBS than 50-µm Al2O3 particles (p < 0.001), while Rocatec Plus provided bond strengths that were similar to or higher than those of Cojet Sand. Of the additional surface treatments, the adhesive provided the best results in combination with the 3 air-abrasion techniques (50-µm, 120-µm, and 250-µm Al2O3), whereas in the groups abraded with silica-modified Al2O3 particles (Cojet Sand and Rocatec Plus), the best results were obtained with additional silane. The two combinations that promoted the highest SBS were 250-µm Al2O3 + adhesive and Rocatec Plus + silane. All groups showed 100% adhesive failure. CONCLUSION: The selection of the best additional surface treatment varied according to the air-abrasion technique. Particle size was the decisive factor in determining the bond strength when micromechanical retention was the only bonding mechanism. When both mechanisms were present, in addition to particle size, the material applied as the additional surface treatment also contributed to determining the bond strength.
