Fracture load and shear stress of prefabricated glass fiber posts

Braz. j. oral sci; 18 (), 2019
Aim: This study evaluated the fracture load and pattern failure of different prefabricated glass fiber posts (GFPs) of the same diameter. Methods: Seventy-eight (n=13 for six groups) GFPs of 1.6 mm coronal diameter of different brands were evaluated— Exacto (Angelus), Power Post (BM4), White Post DC (F...

Internal mechanical work and maximum subtalar joint pronation in different gradients

Abstract Introduction: Some authors have described the importance of physiological intensity in the behavior of the biomechanical aspects of running (for example, subtalar pronation), but the complex relationships between these variables are not yet well understood. Objective: This study investigated...

Shrinkage stress and elastic modulus assessment of bulk-fill composites

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Bulk-fill composites were introduced in dentistry to accelerate clinical procedures while providing adequate outcomes. Concerns regarding the use of bigger composite increments rely on the polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress, which may generate gaps on the adhesive interface and result...

Stress distribution in the peri-implant area of pure titanium and titanium-zirconium small implants

Braz. j. oral sci; 18 (), 2019
Aim: In dental implant treatment, there is a demand for mechanically stronger implants. Despite the existence of several studies showing the clinical success of narrow diameter implants, most of them are based on pure titanium (cpTi) alloys. There is a few clinical evidences of the success rate of titani...

Avaliação mecânica de diferentes configurações do conceito All-on-4 em mandíbulas atróficas: análise tridimensional por elementos finitos

A reposição de elementos dentários por meio da técnica All-on-4 permite a reabilitação de mandíbulas edêntulas mediante a instalação de uma prótese total fixa sobre quatro implantes dentários. As principais vantagens desta técnica estão associadas à inclinação distal, 30 ou 45 graus, dos...

Biomechanical analysis of micro-implants lingual straight wire appliance during retracting maxillary anterior teeth

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
This study aimed to establish three-dimensional finite element models of micro-implants-lingual straight wire appliance and to investigate the effects of different wire patterns on the initial displacement of the maxillary anterior teeth and the stress of the periodontal ligament and tooth root during re...

Force decay evaluation of latex and non-latex orthodontic intraoral elastics: in vivo study

ABSTRACT Objective: This clinical study was conducted in order to evaluate force decay over time of latex and non-latex orthodontic intraoral elastics. Methods: Patients (n = 15) were evaluated using latex and non-latex elastics in the periods of : 0, 1, 3, 12 and 24 hours. The rubber bands were trans...

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...

Anxious phenotype potentiates damage in peripheral organs of animals submitted to sepsis

Introduction: Anxiety and sepsis are important public health problems that present high morbidity, mortality and significant economic repercussions. The present study investigated the presence of oxidative damage in peripheral organs in two lines of animals that are bred for high and low freezing respons...

Consumo leve a moderado de álcool e isquemia miocárdica à ecocardiografia sob estresse físico

Fundamento: O impacto do consumo de álcool na evolução da isquemia miocárdica permanece incerto. Os estudos divergem quanto a um eventual efeito cardioprotetor ou a um fator de risco cardiovascular desse consumo de maneira leve a moderada. Objetivo: Estudar a relação do consumo le...
