Tightening techniques for the retaining screws of universal abutment

Purpose: This study evaluated the torque maintenance of universal abutment retaining screws using different tightening techniques, and coated or uncoated screws. Material and method: The screws were tightened to implants as following: Control - 32 Ncm torque; H20 - holding 32 Ncm torque for 20 s; R - 32...

Peri-implant evaluation of osseointegrated implants subjected to orthodontic forces: results after three years of functional loading

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to clinically and radiographically assess the peri-implant conditions of implants used as orthodontic anchorage. Methods: Two groups were studied: 1) a test group in which osseointegrated implants were used as orthodontic anchorage, with the applica...

Deflection test evaluation of different lots of the same nickel-titanium wire commercial brand

Introduction: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the elastic properties of the load-deflection ratio of orthodontic wires of different lot numbers and the same commercial brand. Methods: A total of 40 nickel-titanium (NiTi) wire segments (Morelli OrtodontiaTM - Sorocaba, SP, Brazil), 0.016-i...

The influence of distal-end heat treatment on deflection of nickel-titanium archwire

Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the deflection-force behavior of nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic wires adjacent to the portion submitted to heat treatment. Material and Methods: A total of 106 segments of NiTi wires (0.019 x 0.025-in) and heat-activated NiTi wires (0.016 x ...

Impact of micronutrients supplementation on bone repair around implants: microCT and counter-torque analysis in rats

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (1), 2016
ABSTRACT The use of natural substances and micronutritional approaches has been suggested as a therapeutic alternative to benefit the bone healing associated with no side effects. Nevertheless, the influence of micronutritional interventions with therapeutic proprieties on the bone repair has yet to be i...

Caracterização físico-química, mecânica e biológica de cimento autoadesivo aditivado com nanotubos de dióxido de titânio

O objetivo desse estudo foi realizar a caracterização do cimento resinoso autoadesivo RelyX U200 aditivado de nanotubos de dióxido de titânio (nt-TiO2) em diferentes concentrações (0,3, 0,6, e 0,9% em peso) quanto às suas propriedades físico-químicas, mecânicas e biológica. Duas condições de...

Evaluation of the internal anatomy and instrumentation techniques with new mechanized instrumentation systems in second mandibular molars with fused roots

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar por meio da microtomografia computadorizada os aspetos morfológicos e morfométricos da anatomia interna do sistema de canais radiculares com formato em C, e, avaliar a área de superfície, volume e áreas do canal não instrumentadas antes e após a instrumentaçã...

Avaliação histológica e histomorfométrica da energia superficial e molhabilidade em implantes de titânio grau IV e grau V: estudo experimental em coelhos

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a resposta biológica ao redor de implantes de titânio grau IV (titânio comercialmente puro) e grau V (Ti6Al4V), com diferentes tipos de tratamentos de superfície através da análise do contato ossoimplante (bone implant contact - BIC) e da área de...

The effect of standardised implantoplasty protocol on titanium surface roughness: an in-vitro study

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract: To analyse the changes of surface characteristics of machined and moderately roughened titanium disks following a standardised implantoplasty protocol. Forty titanium discs (machined: n = 20; moderately roughened: n = 20) were instrumented with one half of each disc maintained as the control (n...

Thickness and nanomechanical properties of protective layer formed by TiF4 varnish on enamel after erosion

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The layer formed by fluoride compounds on tooth surface is important to protect the underlying enamel from erosion. However, there is no investigation into the properties of protective layer formed by NaF and TiF4 varnishes on eroded enamel. This study aimed to evaluate the thickness, topography...
