Demineralized bone matrix and calcium-phosphate cement in bone regeneration in rats

Acta cir. bras; 33 (4), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To compare bone regeneration in critical-sized defects in rat calvarium using demineralized bone matrix and calcium phosphate cement. Methods: Thirty Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups of 10 animals each. Two defects of 5-mm were made in the parietal bones of each animal. Group ...

The study of the use of a latex biomembrane and conjunctival autograft in rabbit conjunctiva wound healing

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (2), 2018
RESUMO Objetivo: Estudar o uso da biomembrana de látex e o transplante conjuntival autólogo na cicatrização conjuntival em coelhos. Métodos: Em nove coelhos albinos, neo-zelandeses, machos foram removidas áreas retangulares idênticas, do quadrante supero nasal, adjacente ao limbo, de ambos os ol...

Feldspar ceramic strength and the reinforcing effect by adhesive cementation under accelerated aging

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Abstract This study evaluated the effect of the accelerated artificial aging (AAA) on feldspar ceramic strength and the reinforcing effect promoted by adhesive cementation with resin luting agent. One hundred twenty feldspar ceramic disks were obtained. Sixty disks were acid-etched, silanized, and coated...

In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of reoss® in powder and putty configurations

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Article This study evaluated comparatively two configurations (powder and putty) of a composite biomaterial based on PLGA (Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/nanoescale hydroxyapatite (ReOss®, Intra-Lock International) through microscopic morphology, in vitro cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and in vivo response ...

Bond strength of experimental root canal sealers based on mta and butyl ethylene glycol disalicylate

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Abstract This study investigated the bond strength of two experimental root canal sealers based on MTA and butyl ethylene glycol disalicylate: MTAe and MTAe-HA. The reference materials used for comparison were AH Plus and MTA Fillapex. Twenty human upper incisors were selected and one 1 mm slice was obta...

Mechanical properties of anatomic finishing files: xp-endo finisher and xp-clean

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cyclic fatigue of two anatomic finishing files: XP-Endo Finisher and XP-Clean. Roughness pattern and the micro-hardness of the files were also assessed. Instruments were subjected to cyclic fatigue resistance measuring the time to fracture in an a...

Effect of blood contamination on the push-out bond strength of calcium silicate cements

Braz. dent. j; 29 (2), 2018
Abstract This study investigated the effect of blood-contamination on the push-out bond strength of BiodentineTM (BD) and MTA Angelus® (MTA-A) to root dentin over time. Twenty-five teeth were sectioned horizontally to obtain 120 root slices. The lumens were filled with MTA-A or BD: 60 for each cement (3...

UV induced surface modification on improving the cytocompatibility of metallocene polyethylene

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Demand for medical implants is rising day by day as the world becomes the place for more diseased and older people. Accordingly, in this research, metallocene polyethylene (mPE), a commonly used polymer was treated with UV rays for improving its biocompatibility. Scanning electron microscopy (SE...

Evaluation of shear bond strength and shear stress on zirconia reinforced lithium silicate and high translucency zirconia

J. oral res. (Impresa); 7 (1), 2018
This study evaluated the shear stress distribution on the adhesive interface and the bond strength between resin cement and two ceramics. For finite element analysis (FEA), a tridimensional model was made using computer-aided design software. This model consisted of a ceramic slice (10x10x2mm) partially ...

Stability of the anterior arm of three different Hyrax hybrid expanders: an in vitro study

ABSTRACT Introduction: The force applied to the teeth by fixed orthopaedic expanders has previously been studied, but not the force applied to the orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) used to expand the maxilla with Hyrax hybrid expanders (HHE). Objective: The aim of this article was to evaluate the clinica...
