SUMMARY The aim of this article is to discuss relevant considerations about crown bonding and describe a clinical case in which a tooth fragment and direct composite resin were used to successfully restore a fractured anterior tooth. Clinical examinations showed good esthetics and periodontal health after 10 years of follow-up.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to identify mean oxygen saturation values (SpO 2) using pulse oximetry in permanent maxillary anterior teeth. Materials and Methods: The MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and Literatura Latino Americana em Ciências da Saúde electronic databases were searched. Combinations and variations of "oximetry" AND "dental pulp test" were used as search terms. Studies reporting means and standard deviations of SpO 2 values were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I 2 statistic, and all analyses were performed using R software. Study quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Of the 251 studies identified, 19 met the eligibility criteria and were included (total sample, 4,541 teeth). In the meta-analysis, the mean SpO 2 values were 84.94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 84.85%-85.04%) for the central incisors, 89.29% (95% CI, 89.22%-89.35%) for the lateral incisors, and 89.20% (95% CI, 89.05%-89.34%) for the canines. The studies were predominantly low-quality due to the high risk of bias associated with the index test, unclear risk regarding patient selection, and concerns about outcome assessment. Conclusions: Although most studies were low-quality, the oxygen saturation levels in normal pulp could be established (minimum saturation, 77.52%). Despite the risk of bias of the included studies, the reference values reported herein are clinically relevant for assessments of changes in pulp status.
This study aimed to evaluate if 2.5% sodium hypochlorite compromises the adhesion of bonding materials. The factors in the study were the irrigation solutions in two levels: 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and saline solution; and the adhesive systems used in three levels: three-step adhesive, universal adhesive, and two-step self-etch adhesive systems. The answer variable used was the microshear bond strength obtained through a universal testing machine and fracture mode. Six groups were obtained (n=10) : Etch-and-rinse/Saline (saline solution + 3-step adhesive system - Scotchbond Multipurpose, 3M ESPE); Universal/saline (saline solution + universal adhesive system – Prime&Bond,); Self-etch/saline (saline solution + 2-step self-etch adhesive systems - Clearfil SE Bond); Etch-and-rinse/Hypo (sodium hypochlorite 2,5% + 3-step adhesive system - Scotchbond Multiuso); Universal/Hypo (sodium hypochlorite 2,5% + universal adhesive system – Prime&Bond); Self-etch/Hypo (sodium hypochlorite 2,5% + 2-step self-etch adhesive system - Clearfil Se Bond). The specimens were obtained from 60 healthy bovine incisors. The crowns were separated from the roots, and the regularization of the buccal surface was performed. The groups received saline solution and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite for 30 minutes, respectively. A matrix of 1mm and 3mm oh height was stabilized by Scotch tape to obtain the resin sticks. Afterward, the bond strength test was performed in a universal testing machine at 1mm/min speed. The data were analyzed with normality Shapiro-Wilk, two-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s tests (p<0.001). Etch-and-rinse and Self-etch adhesives presented the highest bond strength values after irrigation with saline solution and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, respectively (P < 0.01). The irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite decreased the bond strength values of Etch-and-rinse and Universal (P < 0.01). On the other hand, 2.5% sodium hypochlorite improved the bond strength values of Self-etch (P < 0.01). In conclusion, 2.5% sodium hypochlorite negatively impacted the bond strength of Etch-and-rinse and Universal but improved the adhesion of Self-etch.
The constant evolution of surgical techniques and restorative materials has allowed impressive advances in dental reconstructions, allowing endodontically treated teeth with extensive coronary destruction to be reconstructed in a single session. The clinical application of composite resins, especially in posterior teeth has been widely accepted by professionals and patients due to the aesthetic issue and the resistance that the resin materials developed in the last 20 years. As for professionals, following the correct protocol is essential to improve the aesthetics and longevity of the restoration. This paper aims, through clinical case reports, to describe techniques for restoring largely destroyed anterior and posterior teeth using composite resins to build up crowns attached to direct fiberglass prefabricated pins. The cases reported here are an alternative procedure, low cost and rapid development, which could meet the needs of the patient, being a good choice of dental oral rehabilitation.
Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo experimental é avaliar o efeito da radiação com raios X de alta energia na resistência de união entre dentina humana e resina composta. Métodos: Trinta terceiros molares humanos hígidos foram seccionados, produzindo superfícies oclusais planas de dentina, e distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos (n=15): um não irradiado e restaurado com Resina Composta Filtek Z-250, 3M-ESPE® (G1, n=15 – grupo controle), outro irradiado e restaurado com Resina Composta Filtek Z-250, 3M-ESPE® (G2, n=15). O protocolo de radiação utilizado foi de 70 Gy no total. As amostras foram cortadas em palitos (área média de 1 mm2) e submetidas ao teste de microtração. Os dados foram comparados por meio do teste t-student (p <0,05). O padrão de fratura foi examinado em microscopia óptica e submetido ao teste exato de Fischer (p <0,05). Resultados: não houve diferença significativa entre o grupo de dentes não irradiados e irradiados (p=0,738). O grupo controle e o grupo irradiado apresentaram predominância no padrão de fratura de falhas coesivas em resina e/ou mistas e falhas adesivas foram verificadas somente no grupo dos dentes irradiados. Conclusões: A radiação não interfere significativamente na resistência de união da dentina humana restaurada com resina composta e que não houve influência significativa entre os grupos estudados em relação ao padrão de fratura.
O presente trabalho avaliou, através da MEV, o padrão morfológico de desmineralização do esmalte bovino contaminado com soro fisiológico. Para isto, foram utilizados quatro grupos: Grupo 1 (controle): secagem do dente, aplicação do ácido fosfórico 37% durante 30 segundos, lavagem com spray água/ar durante 15 segundos, secagem; Grupo 2: secagem do dente, lavagem com soro fisiológico durante 1 minuto, lavagem com água durante 30 segundos, secagem do dente, aplicação do ácido fosfórico 37% durante 30 segundos, lavagem com spray água/ar durante 15 segundos, secagem. Grupo 3: secagem do dente, lavagem com soro fisiológico durante 1 minuto, secagem do dente, aplicação do ácido fosfórico 37% durante 30 segundos, lavagem com spray água/ar durante 15 segundos, secagem. Grupo 4: secagem do dente, lavagem com soro fisiológico durante 1 minuto, secagem do dente, aplicação do ácido fosfórico 37% durante 30 segundos, lavagem com soro fisiológico por 15 segundos, secagem. Realizou-se a planificação da superfície vestibular dos dentes, e em seguida um corte no plano mesio-distal, separando a superfície vestibular da palatina. As amostras foram então presas em cera utilidade para facilitar o manuseio. Após os procedimentos do tratamento das superfícies conforme seus grupos, as amostras foram metalizadas e levadas ao MEV para a verificação dos padrões de condicionamento. Os resultados evidenciaram a diferença de padrão de condicionamento com e sem a utilização de soro fisiológico, concluindo-se que a presença de soro fisiológico determina um padrão de desmineralização com menor formação deáreas retentivas na superfície do esmalte.
