<p><strong>Objective</strong>: The aim of this study is to evaluate the adhesion of an endodontic sealer (AHPlus in root canals after the use of different protocols of 17% EDTA and the use of intracanal medication (ICM) based on calcium hydroxide in aqueous vehicle. <strong>Material and Methods</strong>: For this, 72 single-rooted human teeth were instrumented up to #50 and divided into six groups (n = 12). Group 1: EDTA for 3 min; Group 2: 3 mL of EDTA + 3 min of EDTA; Group 3: 3 mL of EDTA + 3 min of EDTA + 30 seconds of ultrasonic agitation; Group 4: EDTA for 3 min + ICM; Group 5: 3 mL of EDTA + 3 min of EDTA + ICM; Group 6: 3 mL of EDTA + 3 min of EDTA + 30 seconds of ultrasonic agitation + ICM. The root canals were filled with endodontic sealer after each protocol and after 7 days they were prepared to the push-out test. The data were analyzed using ANOVA two factors (p < 0.05). <strong>Results</strong>: It was observed no statistically difference in bond strength in the 3 different 17% EDTA protocols. However, the use of ICM increased significantly the resistance adhesion. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Intracanal medication based on calcium hydroxide improved the bond strength of AHPlus to dentin walls, regardless of the EDTA protocol.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Calcium hydroxide; EDTA; Dentin.</p>
May the flexural strength of ceramics be influenced by salivary pH?RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi comparar a resistên-cia à flexão três pontos de uma cerâmica feldspática após armazenagem em saliva artificial, durante 30 dias com diferentes regimes de pH: pH ácido (3,5), pH neutro (7,0), pH básico (10) e alternando entre pH ácido/bási-co durante 15 dias cada. Material e Métodos: As barras foram cimentados com cimento resinoso e submetidas a armazenagem em saliva artificial com os diferentes valores de pH. Resultados: Os valores de resistência à flexão foram significativamente maiores para as barras armazenadas em água destilada, em pH neutro e em básico, quando comparadas com os resultados para as barras armazenadas em pH ácido e em meio ácido/bási-co. Conclusões: A armazenamento durante 30 dias em saliva artificial, com pH ácido, ou alternando entre pH ácido e basico, pode reduzir as propriedades mecânicas das cerâmicas.A resistência à flexão de cerâmicas pode ser influenciada pelo pH salivar? ABSTRACTObjective: This study purpose was to compare the three-point flexural strength of feldspathic ceramic after storage in artificial saliva for 30 days with different pH regimens, as acidic pH (3.5), neutral pH (7.0), basic pH (10) and alternating between acid/ basic pH, for 15 days each. Material and Methods: The bars were luted with resin cement and subjected to storage in artificial saliva of different pH values. Results:The values of flexural strength were significantly higher for bars stored in distilled water, at neutral and basic pH, when compared with the results for bars stored in acidic pH and in acid/basic pH. Conclusions: Storage for 30 days in artificial saliva at acidic pH, or alternating between acidic and basic pH, can reduce the mechanical properties of ceramics.
