RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction:
The removal of residual resins is a routine procedure in orthodontic clinics and of great importance to the final result of the treatment.Objective:
To evaluate the main methods of residual resin removal used by orthodontists, and the main reasons for choosing these methods.Methods:
A questionnaire consisting of 21 questions 6 relating to demographic data and the other 15 relating to two methods used to remove residual resins (drills or pliers) was sent by e-mail to orthodontists registered with the Regional Councils of Dentistry of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) within April and June, 2023. Questionnaires were sent back by 153 professionals.Results:
Residual resin removal is always carried out with high speed drill for 44.7% of the sample, and with low speed drill for 28.7%; 61.3% use irrigation. The multi-laminate carbide bur is used by 82.5% of orthodontists. Pliers are always used by 12.4%. Resin-removing pliers with Widia are used in 39% of cases. The use of high speed was justified by the shorter working time, and the choice of pliers was justified by the smaller damage to the tooth enamel.Conclusion:
The most used residual resin removal method was the multi-laminate carbide bur at high speed with irrigation, justified the by shorter working time.
