RESUMO
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the effect of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP) containing bonding agents on dentin shear bond strength and remineralization potential. Material and Methods: This in vitro study evaluated 45 extracted human premolars. The teeth were decoronated, and the tooth crown was split into buccal and lingual halves. The specimens were then flat-grounded by a 180-grit abrasive. The specimens were then randomized into three groups (n=15). Adper Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SBMP) primer and adhesive were used for bonding in the control group. ACP in 10wt% and 20wt% concentrations was added to SBMP adhesive and used in groups 2 and 3, respectively. After the application of primer and adhesive and light-curing them for 10 s, a transparent silicon cylinder was placed on a dentin surface and cured for 10 s; then, the cylinder was filled with composite resin and was cured for the 40s from each side. The specimens underwent 3000 thermal cycles, and a universal testing machine measured the SBS. To assess the remineralization quality, a total of 6 dentin samples (2 specimens for group) were prepared and underwent X-ray diffraction, attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The level of p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: No significant difference in dentin shear bond strength was noted between the groups (p>0.05) - the addition of ACP to SBMP adhesive enhanced dentin remineralization. Increasing the ACP concentration from 10% to 20% increased the formation of hydroxyapatite. Conclusion: Adding amorphous calcium phosphate confers remineralizing property to SBMP adhesive without compromising its shear bond strength to dentin.

AIM: This study evaluated cytotoxicity and antioxidant gene expression of resin cements on human gingival fibroblasts (hGF). MATERIALS AND METHOD: RelyX Ultimate™(RXU), Variolink™II(VLII), and RelyXU200™(RXU200) resin cements were incubated with culture medium for 24 h to obtain eluates. Then, the eluates were applied over hGF to assess cell viability at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h and antioxidant gene expression at 24 h. hGF cultures non-exposed to the eluates were used as Control. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (α≤0.05). RESULTS: RXU and RXU200 reduced the number of viable cells in 24 h. Longer exposure to cement extracts caused cell death. Gene expression showed peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) induction by all resin cement types, and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) induction by RXU200 and VLII. Moreover, RXU200 induced not only PRDX1 and SOD1, but also glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), catalase (CAT), and glutathione synthetase (GSS). CONCLUSIONS: All resin cements showed toxicity, and induced antioxidant genes in hGF. Antioxidant gene induction is at least partly associated with cytotoxicity of tested cements to oxidative stress experience.
OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a toxicidade dos cimentos resinosos Rely X Ultimate 2, Rely X U200 e Variolink II, bem como sua influência na expressão de genes antioxidantes em fibroblastos gengivais humanos. Materiais e Método: Corpos de prova de cada cimento foram colocados em meio de cultura por 24 h e os extratos correspondentes foram aplicados aos fibroblastos. A viabilidade celular foi avaliada após 24, 48 e 72 h de exposição pelo ensaio de exclusão do azul de tripano e MTT. A expressão gênica foi avaliada por PCR quantitativo após 24 h de exposição aos extratos. Estes parâmetros foram comparados aos das células não expostas aos cimentos. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA, seguido pelo pós-teste de Bonferroni (a≤0.05). RESULTADOS: Os resultados demonstraram que todos os cimentos promoveram redução do número de células viáveis e da atividade mitocondrial nos períodos de 48 e de 72 h (p< 0,01), sendo que o Variolink II apresentou o menor efeito e os cimentos Rely X Ultimate e Rely X U200 promoveram similarmente os maiores efeitos. A análise de expressão gênica evidenciou influência significativa em todos os cimentos avaliados sobre os níveis de transcritos de PRDX1, SOD1, GPX1 e GSS (p> 0,05), com um aumento considerável no Rely X U200. Conclusão: A indução de genes antioxidantes está, pelo menos em parte, associada à citotoxicidade dos cimentos testados para a experiência de estresse oxidativo.

RESUMO
Introducción: La fijación de las restauraciones indirectas es uno de los pasos más importantes, para conseguir una adecuada retención y sellado de la interfase entre el material restaurador y el diente. Objetivo: Evaluar la resistencia de unión al cizallamiento de diferentes agentes de fijación a dos aleaciones metálicas utilizadas en odontología. Métodos: Estudio experimental in vitro. Cien especímenes de aleaciones de metales base, 50 de níquel-cromo y 50 de níquel-cromo-titanio fueron preparados y divididos de manera aleatoria en 5 grupos. Esta división se realizó acorde con el agente de fijación utilizado: sistema autograbante de dos pasos (Clearfil SE Bond; CSB), sistema adhesivo universal (Single Bond Universal; SBU), cemento resinoso autoadhesivo (Maxcem Elite; ME), ionómero de vidrio (IV) y fosfato de zinc (ZnPO). Posteriormente a la aplicación de cada agente de fijación, los especímenes tratados fueron almacenados en agua destilada por 24 h a 37 ºC y sometidos a un ensayo de resistencia de unión al cizallamiento. Resultados: La resistencia de unión al cizallamiento fue influenciada significativamente por el tipo de agente de fijación (p = 0,002) y el tipo de aleación utilizada (p < 0,001). La resistencia de unión al cizallamiento fue mayor, al utilizar el sistema Clearfil SE Bond, seguida de Single Bond Universal; las diferencias entre Maxcem Elite y el Fosfato de zinc no fueron significativas. Finalmente, el IV no mostró adhesión a ninguna de las aleaciones metálicas utilizadas. Conclusiones: El uso de Clearfil SE Bond aumentó la resistencia de unión de los cementos resinosos a las aleaciones metálicas(AU)
Introduction: The bonding of indirect restorations is one of the most important steps, in order to achieve adequate retention and sealing of the interface between the restorative material and the tooth. Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength of different bonding agents to two metal alloys used in dentistry. Methods: In vitro experimental study. One hundred specimens of base metal alloys, 50 nickel-chromium and 50 nickel-chromium-titanium were prepared and randomly divided into 5 groups. This division was made according to the bonding agent used: two-step self-etching system (Clearfil SE Bond; CSB), universal adhesive system (Single Bond Universal; SBU), self-adhesive resin cement (Maxcem Elite; ME), glass ionomer (IV) and zinc phosphate (ZnPO). After the application of each bonding agent, the treated specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 hr at 37 ºC and subjected to a shear bond strength test. Results: Shear bond strength was significantly influenced by the type of bonding agent (p = 0.002) and the type of alloy used (p < 0.001). Shear bond strength was highest when using the Clearfil SE Bond system, followed by Single Bond Universal; the differences between Maxcem Elite and Zinc Phosphate were not significant. Finally, IV did not show adhesion to any of the metal alloys used. Conclusions: The use of Clearfil SE Bond increased the bond strength of resinous cements to metallic alloys(AU)

This work is part of a larger study whose main objective was to find a series of promising molecules to be used as glass-ionomer-type materials. The project was divided into 3 successive stages; the results of the first stage have been previously published and were used to continue the study. The molecules evaluated in the second stage were constructed by adding a glycidyl methacrylate molecule to the carboxylic groups of the polyacids selected in the previous stage. The modeling was done using the density functional theory for M06-2X/6-311G(d,p). The results indicate that the addition over the carboxylic groups of the fraction of the molecule, corresponding to itaconic acid, is thermodynamically favored. The final stage was modeled with the M06 functional and consisted of obtaining basic structures of glass-ionomer-type materials, by acid-base reaction between the molecules resulting from the second stage with individual ions of Ca (2 +), Zn (2 +), or Al (+ 3). It was concluded that aluminum atoms generate more compact structures that would correlate with more resistant materials.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the effects of the self-adhesive resin cements RelyX U200 (3M ESPE) and seT PP (SDI Limited) on murine macrophages and the interference of the photoactivation. Materials and Methods: Cell viability assays, cell adherence, yeast phagocytosis of Saccharomyces boulardii and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were performed in the presence of capillaries containing the respective self-adhesive cement when photoactivated or not. Results: After long periods of contact, both types of cements, when not photoactivated, are more cytotoxic for macrophages. The seT PP cement when only chemically activated seems to interfere more negatively in the process of phagocytosis of yeasts S. boulardii. Both types of cements interfere in the cell adhesion process, independent of photoactivation. None of the types of cements tested was able to induce the production of ROS. Conclusions: Our results highlight the great importance of the photoactivation of self-adhesive resin cements in the dental clinic, since RelyX U200, when photoactivated, presented the best results within the evaluated parameters.
RESUMO
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether 2.5% chitosan applied after dentin acid etching or incorporated into the adhesive system interferes with the microtensile strength of the interface tooth-resin. Subjects and Methods: Sixty healthy bovine teeth had the incisal thirds and the roots sectioned and were randomly allocated into three groups (n = 60). G1 (control): acid attack + Clearfil SE Bond + Z350 resin; G2: treatment with 2.5% chitosan + Clearfil SE Bond + Z350 resin; G3: treatment with 2.5% chitosan incorporated into dentin adhesive + Z350 resin. The stick-shaped specimens made in each group were randomly divided into two subgroups and subjected to degradation of the adhesive interface (with aging: specimens immersed in 2.5% sodium hypochlorite for 12 h and washed in distilled water for 1 h, and without aging). The groups were submitted to a microtensile strength test with a 0.5 mm/min speed until rupture. Statistical analysis of the data was performed according to normal distribution. Results: Microtensile data were obtained by calculating the area of each toothpick, obtaining values in megapascal. No aging: G1 - 5251.69, G2 - 5.52 ± 1.46, and G3 - 3.91 ± 1.21. With aging: G1 - 3.45 ± 1.29, G2 - 2.75 ± 0.78, and G3 - 3.53 ± 1.33. Statistical analysis showed that the aging factor and adhesive modification decreased the bonding strength of the resin-dentin (P = 0.001). As well, the interaction between the analyzed factors showed statistically significant differences (P = 0.002). Conclusions: Accelerated aging decreases the adhesion strength in G1, even when chitosan is previously applied to the adhesive system. However, when adding chitosan to the adhesive, adhesion remained similar after aging but lower when compared to the other groups.
RESUMO
Abstract Objective: Pain is a problem during bracket removal, and more comfortable treatment is needed. This study examined the association of pain with the removal force required for ceramic brackets, compared with metal and plastic brackets, to determine which removal method resulted in less pain and discomfort. Methodology: 81 subjects (mean age, 25.1 years; 25 males and 56 females) were enrolled, from whom 1,235 brackets (407 ceramic, 432 plastic, and 396 metal) were removed. Measured teeth were distinguished at six segments. Pain was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS) during the removal of each bracket. An additional grip was placed on the grips of debonding pliers with right-angled beaks; a mini loading cell sensor pinched by the grips was used to measure removal force during debonding. VAS and force values were statistically analyzed. The Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction were performed for multiple comparisons; multiple regression analysis was also performed. Results: Forces in the upper and lower anterior segments were significantly smaller (p<0.05) than those in the other segments. Pain tended to be greater in the upper and lower anterior segments than in the posterior segments. In all segments, the removal force was greater for metal brackets than for plastic or ceramic brackets. Ceramic brackets caused significantly greater pain than plastic brackets for the upper and lower anterior segments. Debonding force was involved in the brackets, following adjustments for pain, upper left segment, age, and sex. Conclusions Pain and discomfort are likely to occur during bracket debonding.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) between Y-TZP and a resin luting agent, after 1 of 2 enhancing strategies with TiO2--nts was applied, either to the resin luting agent or the Y-TZP mass, in different concentrations. METHODS: In the Strategy TiO2-nts on ceramic, the resin luting agent Panavia F2.0™ (Kuraray) and an experimental Y-TZP with added concentrations of TiO2--nts (0%, 1%, 2%, and 5% vol/vol) and a commercial Y-TZP, comprised 5 different groups (n = 10). In the Strategy TiO2-nts on cement, the resin luting agent RelyX U200™ (3 M ESPE) was added with different concentrations of TiO2--nts (0%, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% wt/wt) luted to a commercial Y-TZP, comprising 4 different groups (n = 10). The Y-TZP discs were included in acrylic bases, and a cylinder (3 × 3 mm) of the correspondent luting agent for each respective group was applied over them. After 24 h, specimens were subjected to SBS assessments in a universal testing machine. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses were also performed on Y-TZP surfaces. Data were analyzed via analysis of variance and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS: TiO2-nts on ceramic influenced the bond strength significantly, but not linearly; TiO2-nts on cement did not influence bond strength when analyzed separately, nor in comparison with the first. CONCLUSION: Y-TZP enhancements with TiO2-nts led to a higher SBS with Panavia F2.0, a 5% TiO2--nt concentration presented the highest bond strength. Modified Rely X U200 did not improve SBS.

Os cimentos dentários e ortopédicos são utilizados amplamente em diversas aplicações clínicas. Novos cimentos vêm sendo propostos visando à preservação ou regeneração tecidual. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre o papel desses biomateriais na regeneração nervosa. As células mais comumente envolvidas na regeneração nervosa são as células de Schwann (SCs) sendo sua principal função o suporte aos axônios através da liberação de fatores de crescimento e isolamento axonal através da formação da bainha de mielina. Como estratégia da presente pesquisa, foi estudado um cimento à base da quitosana com adição de substâncias que podem atuar sinergicamente na resposta celular nervosa, tais como, as nanopartículas (NPs) de hidroxiapatita e o óxido de zinco, visto que têm propriedades bioativas e biocondutoras, além de promoverem a condução de prolongamento axonal. A doxiciclina (Dox) foi acrescida como antimicrobiano, potente inibidora de metaloproteinases (MMPs) e estimuladora da diferenciação celular no processo de regeneração tecidual. Assim, as propriedades físico-químicas e biológicas do cimento de nano-hidroxiapatita, quitosana, óxido de zinco e doxiciclina foram avaliadas, bem como a capacidade de promover um ambiente favorável para as células nervosas periféricas. Os cimentos foram caracterizados físico-químicamente mediante a determinação do pH, tempo de presa e solubilidade, lixiviação de íons cálcio, liberação controlada de doxiciclina, difração de Raios X, Termogravimetria (TG), espectroscopia Raman, molhabibidade, e testes de atividade biológica, para assim também serem avaliados em contato com células nervosas de Schwann (HS-Sch-2). O cimento apresentou pH neutro (7,0), tempo de presa de 5,7 ± 0,22 minutos, solubilidade menor que 3%, lixiviação de cálcio de 8,14 ± 0,71 mg L-1 após 14 dias, estabilidade térmica e a análise espectroscópica ratificou a presença e diferenciação das estruturas químicas dos componentes do cimento coerentemente com as imagens das análises microscópicas. Além disso, o cimento se mostrou hidrofílico, teve efeito hemolítico baixo (17%), obteve alta citocompabilidade celular em fibroblastos ATCC 3T3 (72%) e ação antimicrobiana. O cimento aumentou significativamente o crescimento das células de Schwann, 48,6% a mais do que o grupo controle (p≤0.05), e maior capacidade metabólica na análise mitótica quando em contato com este material (33%). Pode-se concluir que o cimento proposto à base de quitosana contendo hidroxiapatita e óxido de zinco nanoparticulados com adição de doxiciclina obteve efeito bioativo em células de Schwann promovendo, assim, o crescimento e a atividade mitótica celular, sendo então um biomaterial promissor para estudos de remielinização de nervos periféricos e regeneração nervosa in vivo.
Dental and orthopedic cements are used widely in several clinical applications. New cements have been proposed aimed the tissue preservation or regeneration. Nevertheless, nerve regeneration is not well known. The cells most commonly used in nerve regeneration are Schwann cells (SCs) which represent glial cells in the peripheral nervous system, their main function being supporting axons by releasing growth factors and axonal isolation through the formation of the myelin sheath. As a strategy of this research, chitosan-based cement was studied with the addition of substances that can act synergistically in the nervous cell response, such as the hydroxyapatite and zinc oxide nanoparticles (NPs), since they have bioactive and bioconductive properties; in addition to furthermore, they promote the conduction of axonal prolongation. Doxycycline (Dox) was added as an antimicrobial, a potent inhibitor of MMPs, a stimulator of cell differentiation in the tissue regeneration process. Thus, the physical-chemical and biological properties of nanohydroxyapatite, chitosan, zinc oxide and doxycycline cements were evaluated, as well as the ability to promote a favorable environment for peripheral nerve cells. Blocks of cements were characterized physically and chemically by determining pH, setting time and solubility, calcium ions leaching, controlled release of doxycycline, X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetry (TG), Raman spectroscopy, wetness, and biological activity tests, so they can also be evaluated in contact with Schwann nerve cells (HS-Sch-2). The cement showed neutral pH (7.0), setting time of 5.7 ± 0.22 minutes, solubility less than 3%, calcium leaching of 8.14 ± 0.71 mg L-1 after 14 days, stability thermal and spectroscopic analysis confirmed the presence and differentiation of the chemical structures of the cement components coherently with the images of the microscopic analysis. In addition, the cement was shown to be hydrophilic, had a low hemolytic effect (17%), and obtained high cell cytocompatibility in ATCC 3T3 fibroblasts (72%) and antimicrobial action. The cement significantly increased the growth of Schwann cells, 48.6% more than the control group (p≤0.05), and greater metabolic capacity in the mitotic analysis when in contact with this material (33%). It can be concluded that the proposed chitosan-based cement containing hydroxyapatite and zinc oxide nanoparticulated with the addition of doxycycline has a bioactive effect in Schwann cells, thus promoting cell growth and mitotic activity, thus being a promising biomaterial for studies of remyelinization of peripheral nerves and nerve regeneration in vivo.

Abstract 20. Conventional glass ionomer cements are used as dental provisional restorative materials, which present several advantages such as adhesion to the tooth mineral phase among others. On the other hand, the knowledge about biological property of glass ionomers shows various approaches and results. In this work, it was studied the in vitro biological response of human gingival fibroblasts in contact with commercial cements of glass ionomer: Mirafil® and Ionglass® and with their extracts, according to ISO 10993. The extracts of the cements, in which the cells were cultured, were adjusted at different concentrations ranging 0.1% to 100%. The cellular metabolic activity of gingival fibroblasts was measured using the Alamar Blue® reagent. The results showed a significant effect on the cellular metabolic activity correlated with the concentration of liberated ions (Al³+ and Ca²+) for both ionomers, as well as the pH variations of the culture media. This could mean that the cellular metabolic activity is substantially influenced by ions and pH of the cell culture.
Resumen 24. Los cementos de ionómero de vidrio convencionales se utilizan como materiales de restauración provisional para uso dental, los cuales presentan varias ventajas como la adhesión a la fase mineral de los dientes. Por otro lado, las propiedades biológicas de los ionómeros de vidrio muestran diversos enfoques y resultados. En éste trabajo se estudió la respuesta biológica in vitro de fibroblastos gingivales humanos en contacto con cementos comerciales de ionómero de vidrio: Mirafil® e Ionglass® y con sus respectivos extractos según la norma ISO 10993. Los extractos de los cementos en los que se cultivaron las células estaban en diferentes concentraciones: de 0.1% a 100%. La actividad metabólica celular se midió usando el reactivo Alamar Blue®. Los resultados mostraron un efecto significativo sobre la actividad metabólica celular correlacionada con la concentración de iones liberados (Al³+ y Ca²+) para ambos ionómeros, así como las variaciones de pH de los medios de cultivo. Ello podria explicar la influencia por los iones y el pH del cultivo celular en la actividad metabólica celular.

Abstract Objective: This in vitro study aimed to compare the efficacy of irrigants using various irrigation activation methods to the push-out bond strengths of fiber post to root canal luted with self-adhesive resin cement (SARC). Methodology: Forty-eight decoronated human canines were used. The specimens were divided into four groups corresponding with the post-space irrigation process and were treated as follows: distilled water (DW) (Control) group received 15 mL of DW; sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)+ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) group was treated with 5 mL of 5.25% NaOCl, 5 mL of 17% EDTA, and 5 mL of DW; passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) group was treated with 5 mL of 5.25% NaOCl, 5 mL of 17% EDTA, and 5 mL of DW, and each irrigant was agitated with an ultrasonic file; and laser activated irrigation (LAI) group was treated with 5 mL of 5.25% NaOCl, 5 mL of 17% EDTA, and 5 mL of DW, and each irrigant was irradiated with Nd: YAG laser. Fiber posts were luted with SARC, and a push-out test was performed. Data was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD test. Results: The bond strength values for the groups obtained were as follows: Control (10.04 MPa), NaOCl+EDTA (11.07 MPa), PUI (11.85 MPa), and LAI (11.63 MPa). No statistically significant differences were found among all experimental groups (p>0.05). The coronal (12.66 MPa) and middle (11.63 MPa) root regions indicated a significantly higher bond strength compared with the apical (9.16 MPa) region (p<0.05). Conclusions: Irrigant activation methods did not increase the bond strength of fiber post to canal.

OBJECTIVE: The ancient Maya used to practice dental inlays as part of the cultural traditions. Most of those inlays remain in place after more than one thousand years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the incidence of pulp pathosis associated with ancient Maya dental inlays to assess the impact that such common practice had on the population's oral health. DESIGN: We scored 193 anterior inlaid teeth from 107 pre-Hispanic Maya dentitions studied at three archaeological storage facilities (Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan, Harvard University, Atlas of Guatemala Project). Two hundred eleven untreated frontal teeth of pre-Hispanic Mayan collections were used as controls. We performed macroscopic, radiographic and microscopic analyses to assess the frequency of caries, pulp calcifications, internal root resorption (IRR), and periapical lesions (PALs). RESULTS: In the inlaid teeth, the frequencies of pulp calcifications, IRR, caries and PALs were 59.8%, 2.2%, 18.5% and 19.2%, respectively. Compared with untreated teeth, inlaid specimens exhibited greater susceptibility to caries, pulp calcifications, IRR and PALs than untreated teeth (pulp calcifications: 44.5%, IRR: 0%, caries: 1.4%, and PAL: 1.9%). Age-at-death did not have any significant influence on susceptibility to pulp calcifications, IRR, caries or PALs. CONCLUSIONS: We noted relatively low pulp irritation and a low frequency of carious infections, IRR and PALs in Mayan inlaid teeth. However, these levels exceeded the frequencies of untreated teeth from the same area and time period. We follow that the cements used by the pre-Hispanic Maya to fix the inlays into their sockets provided excellent sealing characteristics on average.

The most common discrepancy concerning tooth size is the presence of peg-shaped lateral incisors, which can cause teeth with reduced size, anterior diastema, and consequently an unpleasant smile. The development of the adhesive dentistry and ceramic veneers allowed all ceramic-bonded restorations to become an esthetic and functional approach to reestablish the smile harmony. The purpose of this clinical report is to describe a conservative treatment approach to recover an esthetic disharmony caused by bilateral peg-shaped lateral incisors. A 30-year-old female patient was seeking treatment to solve an esthetic disharmony of her smile. Lithium disilicate veneers were planned and build-up with the help of diagnostic models, wax-up, mock-up, and silicone guides, to restore the morphology, size, function, and esthetic of upper lateral incisors and smile. The lithium disilicate veneers were able to provide the harmonization of the patient's smile, recovering the teeth size, shape, and anatomic characteristics.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: the objective of this study was to compare the debonding resistance and failure type observed in three materials used for band cementation by means of the universal testing machine and a stereomicroscope. Methods: 72 third lower molars were collected from patients who needed extractions; metal bands were cemented on them with a pre-soldered tube and internal etching (Bracket USED, OrthoUSA, USA). The samples were randomly sorted out in three groups, forming a control group (zinc phosphate) and two pilot groups (resin-modified glass ionomer and polyacid-modified composite resin). All samples were subjected to a process of 2000 thermal cycles, and later to a debonding resistance test in the universal testing machine (Instron 3367 class 0.5, with 0-30 Kn load cell, USA) at a speed of 2 mm/min. The data were calculated in megapascals, taking into account the surface area of bands (mm2). Finally, to determine failure type, a visual inspection was conducted using a stereomicroscope (Stemi 2000C, Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany AXIOCAM Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Göttingen, Germany). Results: no statistically significant differences were found among the three study groups in terms of debonding resistance (p value = 0.119). The most predominant failure type in the three cements occurred at the cemento-enamel interphase, with 61.1%, showing a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: zinc phosphate, resin-modified glass ionomer and polyacid-modified composite resin showed similar debonding resistance values and the most predominant failure type in the three band cementing materials occurred at the cemento-enamel interface; however, the resin-modified glass ionomer showed a lower percentage.
RESUMEN. Introducción: el objetivo de este estudio consistió en comparar la resistencia a la descementación y el tipo de falla observada en tres materiales utilizados para la cementación de bandas, mediante el dispositivo universal de pruebas y el estereomicroscopio. Métodos: se seleccionaron 72 terceros molares inferiores, recolectados de pacientes que requerían exodoncias, a los cuales se les cementaron bandas metálicas con tubo presoldado y grabado interno (Bracket USA, OrthoUSA, USA). Los especímenes fueron distribuidos de forma aleatoria simple en tres grupos, formando un grupo control (fosfato de zinc) y dos grupos experimentales (ionómero de vidrio modificado con resina y resina compuesta modificada con poliácido). Todos los especímenes fueron sometidos a un proceso de 2000 ciclos térmicos, para posteriormente realizar la prueba de resistencia a la descementación en el dispositivo universal de pruebas (Instron 3367 clase 0,5, con celda de carga 0-30 Kn, EE.UU.) a una velocidad de 2 mm/min. Los datos fueron calculados en megapascales, teniendo en cuenta el área de la superficie de la banda (mm2). Finalmente, para determinar el tipo de falla se realizó una inspección visual utilizando un estereomicroscopio (Stemi 2000C, Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany AXIOCAM Carl Zeiss Microimaging, Góttingen, Germany). Resultados: en cuanto a la resistencia a la descementación, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los tres grupos estudiados (valor p = 0,119). El tipo de falla más predominante en los tres materiales cementantes se presentó en la interfase cemento-esmalte, con 61,1%, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa. Conclusión: el fosfato de zinc, el ionómero de vidrio modificado con resina y las resinas compuestas modificadas con poliácido presentaron una resistencia similar a la descementación, y el tipo de falla que predominó en los tres materiales cementantes de bandas se presentó en la interfase cemento-esmalte; sin embargo, para el ionómero de vidrio modificado con resina esto ocurrió en un menor porcentaje.

O objetivo deste estudo foi coletar dados científicos para revisão de literatura sobre cimentação de cerâmicas, ressaltando propriedades, técnicas, indicações e contraindicações. O agente cimentante ideal deve apresentar como principais características alta resistência à compressão, tração e cisalhamento, além de selamento marginal adequado, baixa solubilidade aos fluidos bucais e espessura mínima de película. Em relação à técnica, foi observado que diferenças na microestrutura e composição dos sistemas cerâmicos exigem protocolos específicos de preparo da peça cerâmica e da superfície dentária. Atualmente, os tipos de agentes cimentantes disponíveis são: fosfato de zinco, ionômero de vidro convencional e modificado por resina, cimentos resinosos e autoadesivos. A evolução desses materiais ocorre no sentido de melhorar propriedades e simplificar a técnica.
The objective of the study was to collect scientific data to perform a literature review of ceramic cementation, highlighting their properties, techniques, indications and contraindications. An ideal luting agent has to present as main characteristics high compressive strength, tensile and shear, adequate marginal sealing, low solubility to oral fluids and minimal thickness of film. Concerning the technique, it was observed that differences on microstructure and composition on ceramic systems require specific protocols on preparation for the ceramic structure and for the dental element surface. Nowadays, the available luting agents are: zinc phosphate, conventional and modified glass ionomer, resin cements and self adhesive cements. The evolution of these materials occurs to improve properties and to simplify technique.

This study aimed to assess the response of apical and periapical tissues of dogs' teeth after root canal filling with different materials. Forty roots from dogs' premolars were prepared biomechanically and assigned to 4 groups filled with: Group I: commercial calcium hydroxide and polyethylene glycol-based paste (Calen®) thickened with zinc oxide; Group II: paste composed of iodoform, Rifocort® and camphorated paramonochlorophenol; Group III: zinc oxide-eugenol cement; Group IV: sterile saline. After 30 days, the samples were subjected to histological processing. The histopathological findings revealed that in Groups I and IV the apical and periapical regions exhibited normal appearance, with large number of fibers and cells and no resorption of mineralized tissues. In Group II, mild inflammatory infiltrate and mild edema were observed, with discrete fibrogenesis and bone resorption. Group III showed altered periapical region and thickened periodontal ligament with presence of inflammatory cells and edema. It may be concluded that the Calen paste thickened with zinc oxide yielded the best tissue response, being the most indicated material for root canal filling of primary teeth with pulp vitality.
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resposta dos tecidos apicais e periapicais de dentes de cães, após obturação dos canais radiculares com diferentes materiais indicados para dentes decíduos. Foram utilizados pré-molares de cães, totalizando 40 raízes que, após pulpectomia e preparo biomecânico, foram divididas em 4 grupos, nos quais os canais radiculares foram obturados com os seguintes materiais: Grupo I - pasta comercial composta de hidróxido de cálcio e polietileno glicol 400 (Calen®) espessada com óxido de zinco; Grupo II - pasta composta de iodofórmio, Rifocort® e paramonoclorofenol canforado; Grupo III - cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol; e Grupo IV - solução salina. Decorridos 30 dias, as peças foram submetidas ao processamento histológico. De acordo com os resultados da análise histopatológica observou-se que nos Grupos I e IV as regiões apical e periapical apresentaram aspecto de normalidade, com grande número de fibras e células e ausência de reabsorção dos tecidos mineralizados. No Grupo II observou-se infiltrado inflamatório e edema leves, com discreta fibrogênese e reabsorção óssea. O Grupo III apresentou alteração na região periapical e ligamento periodontal ampliado, com presença de células inflamatórias e edema. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que a pasta Calen espessada com óxido de zinco apresentou a melhor resposta tecidual, sendo a mais indicada para a obturação de canais radiculares de dentes decíduos com vitalidade pulpar.
