RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of different tin-containing toothpastes on the control of erosive tooth wear in enamel and dentin. METHODS: Enamel and dentin slabs were randomly distributed into 7 experimental groups (n = 10/substrate): C-: negative control (Artificial saliva); AmF (regular fluoridated toothpaste without tin); Sn-1 (SnF2/NaF); Sn-2 (SnF2/NaF/SnCl2); Sn-3 (SnCl2/NaF); Sn-4 (SnF2/SnCl2); Sn-5 (SnCl2/AmF/NaF/chitosan). Specimens were submitted to 5-day erosion-abrasion cycling. Surface loss (SL) was determined with an optical profilometer. Tin deposition on the tooth surfaces and some characteristics of the toothpastes (pH, potentially available F-, %weight of solid particles, and RDA) were also assessed. Data were statistically analyzed (α = 0.05). RESULTS: For enamel, the Sn-2 presented the lowest SL, not differing significantly from AmF, C+, and Sn-3. The SL of these groups was significantly lower than the C-, except for Sn-3. Sn-1 and Sn-4 were also not significantly different from C-. For dentin, C- significantly showed the highest SL values, whilst, Sn-1 presented the lowest SL, not differing significantly from AmF, Sn-2, C+, and Sn-3. There was a significant positive association between enamel SL and the pH and tin deposition. Dentin SL was significantly negatively associated with the %weight of solid particles and RDA. CONCLUSIONS: Most of the tin-toothpastes were able to exhibit some protection against ETW. In this process, the toothpastes characteristics play a role, as lower enamel SL was significantly associated with lower pH values and tin deposition; and lower dentin SL was associated with higher %weight of solid particles and RDA of the toothpastes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Tin-containing toothpastes can be used for erosive tooth wear protection, but our study showed that their effect depends on the pH, amount of tin deposition, % weight of solid particles and RDA of the toohpastes.

RESUMO

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of proanthocyanidin, palm oil and vitamin E against erosive and erosive+abrasive challenges in vitro after enamel pellicle formation in situ. Methodology Bovine enamel blocks (n=84) were obtained and divided into the following treatment groups: negative control (NC) - deionized water; positive control (PC) - SnCl2/NaF/AmF-containing solution; palm oil (PO); 2% proanthocyanidin (P2); vitamin E (VitE); 2% proanthocyanidin+palm oil (P2PO); and 2% proanthocyanidin+vitamin E (P2VitE). For 5 days, one half of the sample from each group was subjected to erosion and the other half was subjected to erosion+abrasion. The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) was pre-formed in situ for 30 minutes. The specimens were then treated in vitro with solutions (500 µl, 30s for each group). Subsequently, the blocks were left in the oral cavity for another hour to obtain the modified AEP. The blocks were immersed in 0.5% citric acid (pH=2.5) for 90s, 4×/day. AEP formation and treatment were carried out before the first and third erosive challenges, and after these challenges, abrasive cycles (15s) were performed on half of the samples. Enamel wear was quantified by profilometry and data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). Results All groups showed higher wear when exposed to erosion+abrasion than when exposed to erosion alone (p=0.0001). PO, P2VitE, P2, and P2PO showed enamel wear similar to the PC group, but only PC, PO and P2VitE differed from the NC group. The other groups behaved similarly to NC. Conclusion It was concluded that the combination of proanthocyanidin and vitamin E was effective in reducing wear in the face of in vitro erosive and erosive+abrasive challenges.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare a connective tissue graft (CTG) to a (porcine) xenogeneic acellular dermal matrix (XDM), both associated with modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF) and partial resin composite restoration to treat multiple combined defects (CDs). METHODS: Seventy-eight defects in 38 patients presenting multiple combined defects, that is, gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesions, were treated by partial resin composite restoration (apical margin up to 1 mm of the estimated cement-enamel junction) and MCAF along with CTG or XDM. After 6 months, the groups were compared with regard to clinical, patient-centered, and esthetic outcomes. RESULTS: CD coverage was 72.9% for CTG versus 50.7% for XDM (P < 0.001). Recession reduction was 2.3 mm for CTG versus 1.5 mm for XDM (P < 0.001). CTG resulted in a greater increase in keratinized tissue width (CTG: 0.96 mm vs. XDM: 0.3 mm, P = 0.04) and gingival thickness (CTG: 0.9 mm vs. XDM: 0.3 mm, P < 0.001). Both treatments successfully reduced dentin hypersensitivity and increased esthetics satisfaction, with no statistically significant intergroup differences. Moreover, XDM patients experienced a shorter surgery duration (CTG: 57.2 min vs. XDM: 37.4 min, P < 0.001) and less time to no pain (visual analog scale  =  0; CTG: 6.5 days vs. XDM: 3.5 days, P = 0.04). CONCLUSION: CTG resulted in significantly greater root coverage and increased keratinized tissue width compared to XDM for treating multiple partially restored CDs. However, increased root coverage at the CTG sites was accounted for by increased probing depth compared to the XDM sites.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This systematic review investigated the prevalence of tooth wear between patients with and without Down syndrome. METHODS: Six databases (Embase, LILACS, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) and grey literature (Google Scholar, OpenGrey and ProQuest) were searched until March 7, 2022. Observational studies were included to assess the differences in tooth wear prevalence and/or severity in Down syndrome and non-syndromic controls. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations were followed. Three reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, assessed the methodological quality (Joanna Briggs Institute) and graded the certainty of evidence through the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Results were summarized through meta-analyses using a random-effects model. The protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42021266997). RESULTS: Of the 1382 records identified, six cross-sectional studies were included. Individuals with Down syndrome had a higher prevalence and were more likely to have tooth wear than individuals without Down syndrome (44% × 15%; OR = 4.43; 95% CI 3.17-6.18; p < 0.00001; I2 = 8%). Also, the severity of tooth wear was higher in the Down syndrome group (n = 275) compared with the controls (n = 294). The certainty of evidence analysis was very low. CONCLUSIONS: Based on very low certainty of the evidence, patients with Down syndrome had a higher prevalence and likelihood and severity of tooth wear when compared to those without Down syndrome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Screening early tooth wear lesions should be carefully done in the Down syndrome population since its occurrence is remarkable compared to the general population.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Gingival recession (GR) is a relevant clinical condition due to its high prevalence worldwide, which leads to aesthetic demands and dentin hypersensitivity. Collagen matrices have been associated with different designs of coronally advanced flaps (CAFs) to treat GR defects. However, the literature lacks long-term follow-up of this treatment option. The aim of this study is to present the long-term follow-up (up to 7 years) of two GR defects (associated or not with noncarious cervical lesion) treated with a CAF and a collagen matrix (CM). CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1 underwent a CAF associated with a CM to treat a single GR defect. After 7 years, Case 1 presented with 3 mm of recession reduction, which corresponds with the 85.7% of root coverage. Case 2 presented two GR defects associated with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). The NCCLs were partially restored with resin composite and then underwent a modified CAF for multiple defects and a CM. After 5 years of follow-up, Case 2 presented with 1.5 and 2.5 mm of recession reduction, which corresponds with the average 83.3% defect coverage. CONCLUSION: These two cases may show that CMs can provide long-term stable outcomes in the treatment of GR defects. Why is this case new information? One of the cases is the first one to describe a 7 years of follow-up after CAF+CM to treat gingival recession defects. What are the keys to successful management of this case? Correct material handling. Adequate restorative protocol and surgical technique. What are the primary limitations to success in this case? Diagnose Patient compliance.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de produtos contendo carvão ativado na alteração de cor do dente, na rugosidade superficial e no brilho do esmalte, considerando seu modo de ação químico (sem abrasão) e químico-mecânico (com abrasão). A perda de superfície do esmalte após a escovação também foi avaliada. Espécimes em dente bovino polido foram divididos em grupos de acordo com o tratamento e o modo de ação (n=15/grupo). Os produtos utilizados foram: água deionizada (Controle negativo - CN); Colgate® Máxima Proteção Anticáries (Dentifrício convencional ­ controle positivo - CP); Colgate® Luminous White Carvão Ativado (LW); Oral-B® 3D White Therapy Charcoal (3DW); Curaprox® Black is White (BW); Dermavita® Whitemax (Pó de carvão ativado - WP). Foi realizada uma ciclagem de manchamento (imersão em clorexidina ­ 2 min, caldo de manchamento - 30 min, saliva artificial - 30 min) e tratamento (imersão nas suspensões - 2 min), repetida 28 vezes, simulando quatro semanas de tratamento (exposição aos tratamentos 2x/dia). Nos grupos de desafio químico/mecânico, foi realizada abrasão em máquina de escovação (15s ­ 200g) associada à exposição às suspensões com os produtos. A cor (L*a*b*), a rugosidade superficial (Ra) e o brilho (UB) foram mensurados por espectrofotômetro de reflectância, perfilômetro de contato e medidor de brilho, respectivamente. Adicionalmente, o potencial abrasivo dos produtos foi avaliado por meio da mensuração do desgaste do esmalte. Espécimes adicionais foram submetidos a 100.000 ciclos de abrasão para determinação da perda de superfície do esmalte (µm), por meio do cálculo da variação da diagonal maior da indentação Knoop produzida na superfície do esmalte por um microdurômetro. A alteração de cor (ΔEab e ΔE00) e o índice de brancura (WID) foram calculados. Os dados de cor, rugosidade e brilho foram submetidos aos testes ANOVA dois fatores e Tukey (5%). Os grupos submetidos ao desafio químicomecânico resultaram em menor alteração de cor e menor variação do WID após a ciclagem de manchamento/tratamento comparados aos que não foram submetidos à abrasão (p=0,0001), resultando em maior potencial de prevenção/remoção do manchamento. Os dentifrícios e o pó de carvão apresentaram resultados similares para ambos os desafios, diferindo apenas do controle negativo. Para a rugosidade e o brilho, não houve diferença significante entre os grupos de desafio químico (p>0.05). Para químico-mecânico, WP apresentou maior rugosidade e menor brilho (p<0.05). Os dados de desgaste foram submetidos aos testes ANOVA um fator e Tukey (5%). O grupo tratado com WP apresentou os maiores valores de desgaste (p=0,0001). Os dentifrícios contendo carvão ativado apresentaram valores intermediários e os menores valores foram detectados nos grupos controle (CN e CP). Concluiu-se que os produtos contendo carvão ativado apresentaram potencial de prevenção/remoção do manchamento dental similar ao dentifrício convencional. Alterações significantes de rugosidade superficial e brilho foram detectadas com o uso do pó de carvão ativado. Os produtos contendo carvão ativado promoveram maior desgaste do esmalte (AU)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of products containing activated charcoal on tooth color change, surface roughness, and enamel gloss, considering their chemical (without abrasion) and chemical-mechanical (with abrasion) mode of action. The enamel surface loss after brushing was also evaluated. Polished bovine tooth specimens were divided into groups according to treatment and mode of action (n=15/group). The products used were: deionized water (negative control - NC); Colgate® Maxima Proteção Anticáries (conventional toothpaste - positive control - CP); Colgate® Luminous White Activated Charcoal (LW); Oral-B® 3D White Therapy Charcoal (3DW); Curaprox® Black is White (BW); Dermavita® Whitemax (Activated charcoal powder - WP). Stain cycling (chlorhexidine immersion - 2 min, staining broth - 30 min, artificial saliva - 30 min) and treatment (immersion in the suspensions - 2 min) were performed, repeated 28 times, simulating four weeks of treatment (exposure to the treatments 2x/day). In the chemical/mechanical challenge groups, abrasion was performed in a brushing machine (15s - 200g) associated with exposure to the suspensions with the products. The color (L*a*b*), surface roughness (Ra), and gloss (UB) were measured by reflectance spectrophotometer, contact profilometer, and gloss meter, respectively. Additionally, the abrasive potential of the products was evaluated by measuring enamel wear. Additional specimens were subjected to 100,000 abrasion cycles to determine enamel surface loss (µm) by calculating the variation of the major diagonal of the Knoop indentation produced on the enamel surface by a microdurometer. The color change (ΔEab and ΔE00) and the whiteness index (WID) were calculated. The color, roughness, and gloss data were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey (5%) tests. Groups subjected to chemical-mechanical challenge resulted in less color change and less WID variation after staining/treatment cycling compared to those not subjected to abrasion (p=0.0001), resulting in greater stain prevention/removal potential. Toothpastes and charcoal powder showed similar results for both challenges, differing only from the negative control. For roughness and gloss, there was no significant difference between the chemical challenge groups (p>0.05). For chemicalmechanical, WP showed higher roughness and lower gloss (p<0.05). Wear data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Tukey (5%) tests. The WP treated group showed the highest values of wear (p=0.0001). The toothpastes containing activated charcoal showed intermediate values and the lowest values were detected in the control groups (CN and CP). It was concluded that the products containing activated charcoal had similar prevention/removal potential of dental staining as conventional toothpaste. Significant changes in surface roughness and gloss were detected with the use of activated charcoal powder. Products containing activated charcoal promoted more enamel wear. (AU)

RESUMO

Abstract Dental hard tissue conditions can be of pre- or post-eruptive nature, such as enamel fluorosis and erosive tooth wear (ETW), respectively. Dental enamel fluorosis is caused by the chronic and excessive intake of fluoride during enamel development, leading to increased fluoride concentration and increased porosity. ETW has become a common clinical condition and often impairs dental function and aesthetics. This in vitro study tested the hypothesis that fluorotic enamel presents different susceptibility to dental erosion-abrasion. It consisted of a 3×3×2 factorial design, considering a) fluorosis severity: sound (TF0), mild (TF1-2), moderate (TF3-4); b) abrasive challenge: low, medium, and high; and c) erosive challenge: yes or no. A total of 144 human teeth were selected according to the three fluorosis severity levels (n=48), and subdivided into six groups (n = 8) generated by the association of the different erosive and abrasive challenges. Enamel blocks (4×4 mm) were prepared from each tooth and their natural enamel surfaces subjected to an erosion-abrasion cycling model. After cycling, the depth of the lesions in enamel was assessed by profilometry. ANOVA showed that the three-way and two-way interactions among the factors were not significant (p > 0.20). Enamel fluorosis level (p=0.638) and abrasion level (p = 0.390) had no significant effect on lesion depth. Acid exposure caused significantly more enamel surface loss than water (p < 0.001). Considering the limitations of this in vitro study, fluorosis did not affect the susceptibility of enamel to dental erosion-abrasion.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by rapid, acute pain arising from exposed dental tubules. Aim: the aim of this study was to evaluate the roughness, tubule occlusion, and permeability of eroded dentin brushed with different toothpastes. Materials and Method: ninety bovine teeth were cut into blocks. Thirty hemifaces were protected with varnish and the other sixty were submitted to permeability tests. Specimens were divided into groups according to the dentifrices: without fluoride (WF), sodium fluoride (NaF), and stannous fluoride (SnF2). The blocks were subjected to a 5-day erosive-abrasive protocol. Surface roughness and dentinal tubule occlusion (n=10) were assessed for both control and test hemifaces of the same sample along with permeability analysis (n=20). Two-way RM ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test were performed (p≤0.05). Results: NaF and SnF2 presented higher roughness than WF. The number of open tubules was higher in WF. Permeability was higher in SnF2, but there was no significant difference between WF and NaF. Conclusions: both fluoride toothpastes occluded dentinal tubules and increased roughness. NaF toothpaste promoted greater decrease in dentin permeability.

RESUMO A hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD) é caracterizada por dor rápida e aguda decorrente de túbulos dentais expostos. Objetivo: este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a rugosidade, oclusão tubular e permeabilidade da dentina erodida escovada com diferentes dentifrícios. Materiais e Método: noventa dentes bovinos foram seccionados em blocos. Trinta hemifaces foram protegidas com verniz e outras sessenta foram submetidas à permeabilidade. Os espécimes foram divididos em grupos de acordo com os dentifrícios: sem flúor (SF), fluoreto de sódio (NaF) e fluoreto estanoso (SnF2). Em seguida, os blocos foram submetidos a um protocolo erosivo-abrasivo de 5 dias. A rugosidade da superfície e a oclusão do túbulo dentinário (n = 10) foram avaliadas para ambas as hemifaces de controle e teste da mesma amostra, também realizou-se a análise de permeabilidade (n = 20). Two-way RM ANOVA e pós-teste de Tukey foram realizados (p≤0,05). Resultados: NaF e SnF2 apresentaram rugosidade superior ao SF. O número de túbulos abertos foi maior em SF. Não encontramos diferenças significativas entre SF e NaF em relação à permeabilidade; entretanto, SnF2 apresentou maior permeabilidade. Conclusão: ambos os dentifrícios fluoretados foram capazes de ocluir os túbulos dentinários e aumentar a rugosidade. No entanto, o dentifrício NaF promoveu uma maior diminuição da permeabilidade dentinária.

RESUMO

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the anti-erosive/abrasive effect of resin infiltration of previous deproteinized dentin. Materials and Methods: Dentin slabs were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n = 15): Control (no deproteinization; no resin infiltrant applied), RI (no deproteinization; resin infiltrant applied), and DRI (deproteinization; resin infiltrant applied). After undergoing the assigned treatment, all slabs were subjected to an in vitro cycling model for 5 days. The specimens were immersed in citric acid (0.05 M, pH = 3.75; 60 seconds; 3 times/day) and brushed (150 strokes). Between the challenges, the specimens were exposed to a remineralizing solution (60 minutes). The morphological alterations were analyzed by mechanical profilometry (µm) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were submitted to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey tests (p < 0.05). Results: Control and RI groups presented mineral wear and did not significantly differ from each other (p = 0.063). DRI maintained a protective layer preserving the dentin (p < 0.001). After erosive/abrasive cycles, it was observed that in group RI, only 25% of the slabs partially evidenced the presence of the infiltrating, while, in the DRI group, 80% of the slabs presented the treated surface entirely covered by a resin-component layer protecting the dentin surface as observed in SEM images. Conclusions: The removal of the organic content allows the resin infiltrant to efficiently protect the dentin surface against erosive/abrasive lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the distribution of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) by tooth type, investigate the prevalence of NCCLs in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, and identify the possible associated factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 160 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. Data on the following variables were collected from pre-and post-orthodontic treatment records: age, sex, Angle's malocclusion, facial pattern, number of activation sessions, compensatory treatment, and retreatment. Frontal, right and left lateral intraoral photographs of each patient were evaluated to identify the presence or absence of NCCLs in each tooth and assess the distribution of NCCLs in the 3840 teeth from the enrolled patients. Furthermore, patients were classified as NCCLs present, irrespective of the number of NCCLs on the teeth or NCCL absent. Bivariate and multivariate Poisson regression analyses with robust variance were used to assess the association between the NCCLs and each independent variable. Prevalence ratio and 95% confidence intervals were calculated and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The prevalence of NCCLs before and after orthodontic treatment was 22.71% and 30.91%, respectively. Premolars were the most affected teeth, followed by the first molars, canines, and incisors. After statistical analysis, age was found to be the variable factor that influenced the prevalence ratio, with NCCL being the most prevalent when orthodontic treatment was performed in adulthood. CONCLUSIONS: Premolars were most commonly affected by NCCLs. Furthermore, age seemed to contribute to the increased prevalence of NCCLs in adults undergoing orthodontic treatment.

RESUMO

O escurecimento dental pode ser interpretado como um ponto de tensão visual e a busca pelo clareamento dos elementos dentários são baseados na percepção individual e imersa sobre interferências culturais que o indivíduo sofre. A preocupação com a estética do sorriso é histórica, tendo diversos mecanismos que foram usados para branquear os dentes e limpá-los (CONSOLARO, 2013). Atualmente, têm-se um forte apelo pelas mídias levando os indivíduos a buscarem meios para alcançarem o referido padrão estético (RAMOS; MONNERAT; PEREZ, 2014). A classificação dos produtos branqueadores como cosméticos traz prejuízo quanto ao uso irracional e sem supervisão, pois decorre de uma ideia diferente que se tem popularmente que apenas medicamentos podem trazer prejuízos à saúde, assim, seria melhor classificá-los como medicamentos, até porque são capazes de acarretarem mudanças fisiológicas (CONSOLARO, 2013). Diante do exposto, a FDA (Food and Drug Administration) começou a classificá-los como medicamentos ou drogas em 1991 (CONSOLARO A; FRANCISCHONE; CONSOLARO R, 2011). Os agentes branqueadores são à base de peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2) e são encontrados em dentifrícios, enxaguantes bucais, clareamento dental de consultório e caseiro, e a própria água oxigenada usada para bochecho. Outros meios podem ser vistos na busca pelo clareamento dos dentes: o uso do bicarbonato de sódio, dentifrícios mais abrasivos e produtos com carvão ativado

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Evaluate the use of collagen matrix (CM) as adjunctive to coronally advanced flap (CAF versus CAF + CM) to treat gingival recession (GR) associated with non-carious cervical lesion-combined defects (CDs). METHODS: Sixty-two patients presenting 62 CDs (RT1 GR and non-carious cervical lesion (NCCLs) were randomly allocated to either CAF group (n = 31): partial restoration of the NCCL and CAF; or to CAF + CM group (n = 31): partial restoration of the NCCL and CAF associated with CM. Clinical, esthetic, patient-centered outcomes, and restorative parameters were assessed. RESULTS: After 12 months, CD coverage were 55.2% for CAF and 54.4% for CAF + CM (P = 0.8). Recession reduction were 1.9 ± 0.8 mm for CAF and 2.0 ± 0.7 mm for CAF + CM (P = 0.6). CAF+CM resulted in higher increase in keratinized tissue (KT) width (CAF: 0.3 ± 0.7 mm; CAF + CM: 0.9 ± 0.8 mm; P = 0.004) and KT thickness gain (CAF: 0.1 ± 0.3 mm; CAF + CM: 0.7 ± 0.2 mm; P = 0.001). Both treatments presented low postoperative pain and resulted in esthetics improvements. In addition, no restoration was lost, 27.4% showed a reduction of the superficial polishing, and 8% showed marginal staining, but still clinically acceptable. CONCLUSION: Partial resin composite restoration (with the apical limit up to 1 mm of the estimated CEJ) and CAF alone or combined with CM are suitable for treating CDs. The use of CM provided additional benefits in terms of KT width and thickness gain. (NCT03341598).

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Gingival recession (GR) is a prevalent problem that is related to esthetic demands and dentin hypersensitivity. Frequently, GR is associated with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCLs) forming a combined defect (CD), which requires restorative and surgical treatment. Connective tissue graft procedures allow predictable root coverage but can result in patient discomfort. CASE PRESENTATION: This first case report describes multiple GRs associated with B+ NCCL at teeth #4 and #6 of a 27-year-old patient with a thin periodontal phenotype. The aim of this report was to evaluate the 6-month outcome of a new volume-stable collagen matrix (VCMX) combined with modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF) and partial restoration to treat CDs. After 6 months, significant improvement was observed regarding CD coverage (69.05%), recession reduction (2.25 mm), gingival thickness gain (0.74 mm), and keratinized tissue width gain (0.75 mm). In addition, excellent esthetic evaluation and patient comfort were achieved by using the biomaterial. CONCLUSION: VCMX associated with MCAF and partial restoration may be an option to treat multiple recession defects plus B+ NCCLs.

RESUMO

Introdução: os dentes artificiais de resina acrílica são amplamente utilizados na confecção de próteses, por apresentarem propriedades físicas, mecânicas e biológicas, além de características de fácil manuseio. No entanto, devido sua característica de baixa resistência à abrasão, a escovação pode levar à perda de massa dos dentes artificiais e aumento da rugosidade. Objetivo: avaliar de forma qualitativa a rugosidade superficial e polimento de dentes artificiais das marcas Hereaus Premium; Trilux e Vita, após período de 1 ano de escovação, com fotografias em Lupa Estereoscópica. Metodologia: para a realização deste estudo, serão utilizados 10 dentes artificiais de cada marca comercial (Trilux, Vita e Hereaus Premium). Os dentes serão fixados com resina ortoftálica em tubo de PVC de 15 mm de espessura. Para o teste de abrasão, será usada uma máquina de escovação simulada com escovas de dentes de cerdas macias e solução de pasta de dente. As imagens serão obtidas com câmera digital acoplada a lupa estereoscópica. A rugosidade superficial e o polimento serão analisados antes da escovação simulada e após 12 meses de escovação através das imagens. Resultados: após o teste de abrasão foi observado a presença de um desgaste superficial e/ou ranhuras na superfície dos dentes artificiais em todos os grupos. Porém não houve um padrão similar entre os corpos de prova de um mesmo grupo. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que a escovação provocou o aumento da rugosidade superficial e alteração no polimento em todos os dentes artificiais utilizados.

Introduction: acrylic resin artificial teeth are widely used in the manufacture of dentures, as they have physical, mechanical and biological properties, in addition to easy handling characteristics. However, due to its characteristic of low abrasion resistance, brushing can lead to loss of mass of artificial teeth and increase in roughness. Objective: qualitatively evaluate the surface roughness and polishing of artificial teeth of Hereaus Premium brands; Trilux and Vita, after a 1-year brushing period, with photographs using a Stereoscopic Magnifying Glass. Methodology: for this study, 10 artificial teeth of each commercial brand will be used (Trilux, Vita and Hereaus Premium). Teeth will be fixed with orthophthalic resin in a 15 mm thick PVC tube. For the abrasion test, a simulated brushing machine with soft bristle toothbrushes and toothpaste solution will be used. Images will be obtained with a digital camera coupled to a stereoscopic magnifying glass. Surface roughness and polishing will be analyzed before simulated brushing and after 12 months of brushing through the images. Results: after the abrasion test, the presence of surface wear and/ or grooves on the surface of the artificial teeth was observed in all groups. However, there was no similar pattern between the specimens of the same group. Conclusion: it can be concluded that brushing caused an increase in surface roughness and change in polishing in all artificial teeth used.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Fundamento: las lesiones cervicales no cariosas son aquellas que se producen por la pérdida de tejido dental debido a causas diferentes de la bacteriana. Las mismas han ganado la atención de investigadores debido a la alta prevalencia con la que se han presentado. Objetivo: describir el comportamiento de las lesiones cervicales no cariosas en pacientes de la clínica estomatológica del municipio Jimaguayú en la provincia Camagüey. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo observacional analítico y transversal. Se tuvo como población de estudio a 54 pacientes de 20 años y más que presentaron lesiones cervicales no cariosas, se tomaron en consideración variables tales como: sexo, tipo de lesión, factores de riesgo y grupos dentarios afectados. Resultados: las personas mayores de 60 años fueron las más afectadas por este tipo de lesiones. Los hombres prevalecieron con relación a las mujeres, las que a su vez fueron más afectadas por las abfracciones. El factor de riesgo más asociado al origen de estas enfermedades fue la técnica de cepillado incorrecta y se tuvo en cuenta que en un mismo paciente pudieron incidir más de un factor de riesgo. Los premolares fueron los dientes más afectados y en menor medida los incisivos. Conclusiones: se deben considerar a las lesiones cervicales no cariosas como un problema de salud de origen multifactorial y con una clara repercusión sobre la integridad de los tejidos dentarios.

ABSTRACT Background: non-carious cervical lesions are those that are produced by the loss of dental tissue due to causes other than bacterial. They have gained the attention of researchers due to the high prevalence with which they have been presented. Objective: to describe the behavior of non-carious cervical lesions in patients from the dental clinic of the Jimaguayú municipality of Camagüey. Methods: descriptive, observational, analytical and cross-sectional study was carried out with 54 patients of 20 years old and older who presented non-carious cervical lesions as the study population, taking into consideration variables such as sex, type of lesion, risk factors and affected dental groups. Results: people over 60 years of age were the most affected by this type of injury. Men prevailed in relation to women, who in turn were more affected by abfractions. The risk factor most associated with the origin of these pathologies was the incorrect brushing technique and it was taken into account that more than one risk factor could have an impact on the same patient. The premolars were the teeth most affected and to a lesser extent the incisors. Conclusions: non-carious cervical lesions should be considered as a health problem of multifactorial origin and with a clear repercussion on the integrity of the dental tissues.

RESUMO

Introdução: os dentifrícios clareadores têm sido desenvolvidos para oferecer um melhoramento estético, porém por apresentarem maior abrasividade podem desenvolver efeitos adversos na superfície de materiais restauradores, como um aumento da rugosidade superficial, comprometendo a sobrevida das restaurações. Objetivo: analisar a rugosidade e o comportamento da massa de duas resinas compostas submetidas em laboratório à escovação com água destilada (controle) e com dentifrício abrasivo (DA) ­ Colgate Luminous White®. Metodologia: foram confeccionadas 40 amostras, 20 a partir da Resina fotopolimerizável Opallis Lab® e 20 de blocos para sistema CAD/CAM Brava Block®, divididos em quatro grupos: Opallis Lab® + água destilada, Opallis Lab® + DA, Brava Block® + água destilada, Brava Block® + DA. As amostras foram pesadas e a rugosidade aferida antes e após a escovação. Foi utilizada uma máquina de escovação em 14.690 ciclos para simulação de um ano de escovação. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados quanto à variância (ANOVA) e posteriormente realizados o teste de Tukey, comparando as médias, duas a duas. Resultados: quanto ao DA, a resina fotopolimerizável apresentou comportamento limítrofe comparado ao grupo controle, já o bloco CAD/CAM foi estatisticamente significante. Em ambos, a rugosidade reduziu no grupo controle enquanto que no grupo teste aumentou. A perda de massa apenas, foi estatisticamente significante na resina fotopolimerizável. Quando comparados os tipos de resina, não houve significância estatística quanto à rugosidade e a perda de massa. Conclusão: as resinas apresentam comportamentos semelhantes, mas os dentifrícios abrasivos não são recomendados para escovação de materiais restauradores, pois interferem negativamente na rugosidade

Introduction: whitening dentifrices have been developed to offer an aesthetic improvement, however because of their high abrasiveness, may develop adverse effects on the surface of restorative materials, may develop adverse effects on the surface of restorative materials, such as increased surface roughness, compromising the survival of restorations. Objective: analyze the roughness and mass loss of two laboratory composite resins subjected to brushing with distilled water (control) and with abrasive dentifrice (AD), Colgate Luminous White®. Methodology: were prepared 20 samples, 20 from light-curing resin Opallis Lab® and 20 from blocks for CAD/CAM system (Brava Block®), divided into four groups: Opallis Lab® + distilled water, Opallis Lab® + AD, Brava Block® + distilled water, Brava Block® + AD. The samples were weighed and the roughness measured before and after brushing. A brushing machine was used in 14,690 cycles simulating 1 year of brushing. Data were tabulated and analyzed for variance (ANOVA) and later performed the Tukey test, comparing the means, two to two. Results: as for the AD, the light-curing resin presented borderline behavior compared to the control group, when the CAD/CAM block was statistically significant. In both, the roughness decreased in the control group while in the test group it increased. The weight loss was only statistically significant in the light-cured resin. When comparing the types of resin, there wasn't statistical significance as for roughness and weight loss. Conclusion: the tested resins have similar behaviors, but abrasive dentifrices are not recommended for brushing restorative materials, because they interfere negatively in the roughness.

RESUMO

O clareamento dos dentes pode ser realizado de várias maneiras, em consultório, no âmbito caseiro ou com a utilização de produtos OTC (Over-the-Counter). Dentre esses produtos, existem os dentifrícios clareadores que prometem clarear e prevenir o manchamento dentário. Objetivos: (1) Investigar o potencial clareador e abrasivo de diferentes dentifrícios no esmalte; e (2) avaliar o efeito do dentifrício Oral-B 3D White Perfection® (Oral-B) na prevenção do escurecimento. Materiais e Métodos: Amostras de esmalte bovino foram pigmentadas e escovadas por 14 dias com água (controle negativo) ou com diferentes produtos: Colgate Total 12® (controle), Oral-B, Sensodyne Branqueador Extra Fresh® (Sensodyne) ou Colgate Luminous White Advanced® (Colgate). Oral-B foi testado antes e após pigmentação. As amostras foram avaliadas quanto à cor (espectrofotômetro) e rugosidade superficial (rugosímetro). Para cálculo de alteração de cor (ΔDE00) se utilizou o sistema CIEDE2000. Os dados foram analisados com os testes Kruskal-Wallis, SNK e Mann-Whitney (α=5%). Resultados: O controle negativo apresentou a menor ΔE00 (p<0,05) e o grupo tratado com Sensodyne resultou nos maiores valores (p<0,05). Quanto à rugosidade superficial, não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos avaliados. O dentifrício Oral-B demonstrou efeito protetivo ao manchamento, resultando em menor alteração de cor (p=0,002). Conclusão: Somente o dentifrício Sensodyne apresentou potencial clareador maior que o dentifrício convencional. A escovação prévia com Oral-B reduziu o manchamento dental, embora não tenha prevenido este totalmente de acontecer. Não foram observadas alterações significativas na rugosidade dos dentes após aplicação dos tratamentos, quando comparado ao controle.

Tooth whitening can be performed at the dental office, at-home or upon the use of OTC (Over-the-Counter) pro-ducts. Among the latter, there are whitening toothpastes that promise to bleach and to prevent tooth staining. Objectives: (1) To investigate the bleaching and abrasive potential of different whitening dentifrices to enamel; and (2) to evaluate the effect of Oral-B 3D White Perfection®(Oral-B) toothpaste in preventing staining. Materials and Methods: Bovine enamel samples were stained and brushed for 14 days with water (negative control) or with different products: Colgate Total 12® (control), Oral-B, Sensodyne Branqueador Extra Fresh® (Sensodyne), and Colgate Luminous White Advanced® (Colgate). Oral-B was also tested before and after staining. The samples were tested by their color (spectrophotometer) and surface roughness (profilometer). Color change (ΔDE00) was cal-culated using the CIEDE2000 color system. The data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, SNK, and Mann-Whitney tests (α=5%). Results: The negative control showed the lowest ΔE00 (p<0.05), whereas the group treated with Sensodyne resulted in the greatest color change (p<0.05). For surface roughness, there was not any significant difference among the groups. The Oral-B toothpaste showed a protective effect against staining, resulting in the lowest color change (p=0,002). Conclusion: Only Sensodyne toothpaste showed higher whitening potential than the conventional toothpaste. By using Oral-B prior staining reduced significantly the intensity of staining, although without the complete prevention of this event. Significant differences were not observed after treatment concerning roughness in comparison to the control.

RESUMO

O termo Lesões Cervicais Não Cariosas (LCNCs) refere-se à perda de tecido dentário duro na Junção Cemento-Esmalte (JCE), cuja etiologia não está relacionada com o envolvimento bacteriano. A origem e a progressão desses defeitos cervicais são consideradas multifatoriais, sendo atribuídas a três fatores principais, sendo eles: abfração, biocorrosão e abrasão. Tais fatores podem estar combinados e associados a eventos de força excessiva aplicada durante a escovação, juntamente com a abrasividade de dentifrícios, hábitos alimentares e/ou parafuncionais. Essas lesões podem ter morfologias diferentes de acordo com seu fator etiológico principal, podendo se apresentar em forma de cunha, oval ou arredondada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura a fim de apresentar os desafios do Cirurgião-Dentista na descoberta dos diferentes fatores etiológicos das LCNCs. O desafio em questão se dá pelo estudo da combinação desses diversos fatores, bem como a realização de um diagnóstico preciso, fazendo-se necessário o conhecimento adequado da etiologia a fim de prevenir futuras novas lesões, estagnar as existentes e assim, capacitar o Cirurgião-Dentista a realizar um tratamento eficaz e longínquo das LCNCs. No entanto, ainda existem muitas controvérsias na literatura, tornando necessária a elaboração de mais estudos para elucidar a etiologia das LCNCs

The term noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL) refers to the loss of hard tooth tissue at the Cemento-Enamel Junction (CEJ), whose etiology is not related to bacterial involvement. The origin and progression of these cervical defects are considered multifactorial, being attributed to three main factors: abfraction, biocorrosion and abrasion. Such factors may be combined and associated with excessive force events applied during brushing, along with the abrasiveness of dentifrices, eating and/or parafunctional habits. These lesions may have different morphologies according to their main etiological factor, and may be wedge-shaped, oval or rounded. Our aim in this paper was to perform a literature review in order to present the challenges of the dental surgeon in identifying the different etiological factors of NCCL. Such challenge regards the study of the combination of these factors, as well as the achievement of an accurate diagnosis, requiring adequate knowledge of the etiology in order to prevent future lesions, stagnate existing ones, thus enabling the Dental Surgeon to treat NCCL effectively in the long term. However, there are still many controversies in the literature, making it necessary to develop more studies to elucidate the etiology of NCCL
