Physical-mechanical properties of bulk fill composites submitted to biodegradation by streptococcus mutans

Braz. dent. j; 31 (4), 2020
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the Streptococcus mutans biofilm influence on the roughness (Ra), gloss (GU), surface hardness (KHN) and flexural strength (FS) of high viscosity bulk fill composites. Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF), Tetric N Ceram Bulk Fill (TNC), X-tra fil Bulk Fill (XF) and Filte...

Development of resin-based bioactive endodontic cements with glycerol salicylate and calcium silicate

Introduction: The combination of sol-gel derived calcium silicate particles and glycerol salicylate resins may enhance the pyhisico-chemical properties contribute to the unders-tanding of the interaction between these materials. This study aims to evaluate the physical-chemical properties of resin-based ...

Indirect pulp protection after selective caries removal: a preliminary 6 months randomised controlled trial

This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of using indirect pulp protection with calcium hydroxide liner or universal adhesive over a period of 6 months in deep caries on permanent teeth after selective removal to soft dentin. The sample con-sisted of 68 patients with 55 molar...

Análisis de flexión en alambres de níquel-titanio con y sin propiedades de transformación térmica
Bending analysis of nickel-titanium wires with and no thermal transformation properties

Ortodoncia; 84 (167), 2020
Objetivo: Evaluar el comportamiento de los alambres de aleación de níquel-titanio con y sin propiedades de transformación térmica en la relación carga/deflexión. Materiales y método: Para ello, 30 segmentos de alambres de níquel-titanio con calibre .014” y 30 mm de largo fueron cortados, confor...

Physical-mechanical properties of a resin-modified calcium silicate material for pulp capping

Braz. dent. j; 31 (3), 2020
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate and to compare the physical-mechanical properties of a resin-modified calcium silicate material (TheraCal LC), used for pulp-capping, to MTA (Angelus) and a calcium hydroxide cement (Dycal). Specimens of each material (n=12) were prepared in Teflon mo...

Surface deterioration of indirect restorative materials

Braz. dent. j; 31 (3), 2020
Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of in vitro and in situ biodegradation on the surface characteristics of two resin cements and a hybrid ceramic system. One hundred and eighty specimens (4X1.5mm) of each material (Maxcem Elite, NX3 Nexus and Vita Enamic) were made and rando...

Influence of acid etching and universal adhesives on the bond strength to dentin

Braz. dent. j; 31 (3), 2020
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the application mode of three universal adhesive systems on interfacial physical properties of indirect composite restorations adhesively cemented to dentin cavities. Seventy-eight bovine lower incisors were selected and a slice of denti...

Shear bond strength evaluation of metallic brackets bonded to a CAD/CAM PMMA material compared to traditional prosthetic temporary materials: an in vitro study

ABSTRACT Introduction: Orthodontic treatment for adults is currently increasing, and therefore the need to bond brackets to restorations and temporary crowns. The use of CAD/CAM PMMA provisional restorations for orthodontic purposes have not yet been described, and there is currently insufficient infor...

RFO UPF; 25 (1), 2020
Introdução: a resina composta é um dos materiais restauradores mais pesquisados na Odontologia, visando melhorias nas suas propriedades e aperfeiçoamento da técnica. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar a rugosidade superficial de duas resinas compostas, micro-híbrida e nanoparticulada, após a ...

The effect of different finishing and polishing procedures on the surface gloss of Bulk-Fill resin composites

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: The literature still lacks evidence regarding which polishing techniques have the ideal clinical outcomes for bulk-fill resin composites. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the surface gloss of two commercially available bulk-fill resin composites after different polishing procedur...
