Retention force and wear characteristics of three attachment systems after dislodging cycles

Braz. dent. j; 29 (6), 2018
Abstract Several attachment systems for mandibular implant-supported overdentures are currently available and studies are required to understand their mechanical properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the retention force and wear characteristics of three attachment systems in a simulatio...

Evaluation of physicochemical properties of new calcium silicate-based sealer

Braz. dent. j; 29 (6), 2018
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of a calcium silicate-based sealer (Sealer Plus BC; MK Life, Porto Alegre, Brazil) compared with an epoxy-resin sealer (AH Plus; Dentsply DeTrey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany). Initial and final setting time was assessed based on ISO 6876:201...

Avaliação radiográfica da interface de reparo em resina bulk fill

Objetivo: avaliar radiograficamente a interface de reparo em resina bulk fill (Opus bulk fill – FGM) com diferentes protocolos de adesão. Metodologia: foram confeccionados 30 corpos de prova em formato de cubo, nas dimensões de 4mm x 6mm. Os corpos foram randomizados e divididos entre os grupos: G1: ...

Hydrodynamic evaluations of four mock femoral venous cannulas

Abstract Objective: To report the results of four mock femoral venous cannulas and the hydrodynamical superiority of one of them, which is the completely punched (CP) model, upon the other three. Methods: Four simulated femoral venous cannulas (single-stage, two-stage, multi-stage, and CP model) were d...

Color changes caused by reduction on the dentin shade composite thickness

Braz. dent. j; 29 (5), 2018
Resumo Este estudo objetivou determinar o limiar de redução na espessura do compósito de cor da dentina necessário para resultar em mudanças de cor perceptíveis e aceitáveis em restaurações simuladas. Três sistemas de compósitos (Charisma Diamond, IPS Empress Direct e Filtek Z350 XT) foram ava...

Polishing of ground y-tzp ceramic is mandatory for improving the mechanical behavior

Braz. dent. j; 29 (5), 2018
Abstract It evaluated the effect of aging by Low Temperature Degradation (LTD), executed after post- processing surface treatments (polishing, heat treatment and glazing), on the surface characteristics (micromorphology and roughness) and on the structural stability (phase transformation and mechanical b...

In vitro analysis of the cytotoxicity of indirect restorative materials

Braz. dent. j; 29 (5), 2018
Abstract This study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of the Vita AC12, Lava Ultimate, Vita Enamic and InSync indirect restorative materials. Extracts of each material were prepared by incubation for 1, 7 and 40 days, with daily washing. Human gingival fibroblasts were exposed to the extracts, and cell v...

Adhesion to a lithium disilicate glass ceramic etched with hydrofluoric acid at distinct concentrations

Braz. dent. j; 29 (5), 2018
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of different hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentrations on the bond strength between a lithium disilicate-based glass ceramic and a resin cement. Eighty ceramic-blocks (12×7×2 mm) of IPS e.Max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) were produced and randomly assigned to 8 groups, co...
