Evaluation of the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of Ca3SiO5-based cement

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Ca3SiO5 is new cement based on the composition of Portland that has been developed to have superior physicochemical and biological properties. In a clinical evaluation, the cement did not appear to have cytotoxic properties and allowed for the proliferation of pulp cells and gingival fibroblasts...

Dissolution of a mineral trioxide aggregate sealer in endodontic solvents compared to conventional sealers

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the solubility of a Mineral Trioxide Aggregate sealer (MTA-Fillapex) compared with five other sealers, calcium hydroxide (Sealapex), resin (Realseal), zinc oxide-eugenol (Tubli-Seal), and two epoxy resins (AH-26 and AH-Plus), in chloroform and eucalyptoil in ...

Effects of alpha-tocopherol on fracture resistance after endodontic treatment, bleaching and restoration

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of 10% alphatocopherol on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth subjected to tooth bleaching with hydrogen peroxide and immediately restored with composite resin. Fifty bovine incisors were selected, including 10 sound teeth that constituted the...

Influence of diabetes mellitus on the mineralization ability of two endodontic materials

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of diabetes mellituson tissue response and mineralization ability of Sealapex®and MTA Fillapex® sealers. Twenty-four Wistar rats were divided into two groups: diabetic and non-diabetic. The materials were placed in polyethylene tubes and impl...

Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of calcium silicate-based cements on an osteoblast lineage

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Several calcium silicate-based biomaterials have been developed in recent years, in addition to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and apoptosis/necrosis in human osteoblast cells (SAOS-2) of pure calcium silicate-based cements ...

Effects of different torque levels on the implant-abutment interface in a conical internal connection

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The fit of the implant-abutment interface was assessed by the metallographic technique and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), using solid abutment types at different torque levels. Forty Morse taper connections and forty solid abutments were used at different torque levels (repeated after 10...

Root filling bond strength using reciprocating file-matched single-cones with different sealers

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bond strength (BS) of root canal fillings to root dentin using the reciprocating file-matched single-cone or lateral compaction techniques with resin-based and calcium-silicate-based sealers. Maxillary canine roots were prepared and filled using o...

Volume of sealer in the apical region of teeth filled by different techniques: a micro-CT analysis

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The volume of sealer in the apical 1 mm of teeth filled using different techniques was evaluated by micro-commuted tomography (micro-CT). Sixty-four maxillary central incisors were prepared using NiTi rotary instruments. Teeth were randomly distributed into four groups according to root canal se...

Effect of root canal filling techniques on the bond strength of epoxy resin-based sealers

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different root canal filling techniques on the bond strength of epoxy resin-based sealers. Sixty single-rooted canines were prepared using ProTaper (F5) and divided into the following groups based on the root filling technique: Lateral Compact...

Effect of filling technique on the bond strength of methacrylate and silorane-based composite restorations

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The bond strength of methacrylate (Z350, 3M ESPE) and silorane (P90, 3M ESPE) restorations, using different cavity filling techniques, was investigated. Cavities (6 × 3 × 3) in bovine teeth were filled using bulk, oblique, or horizontal increments. A push-out test was carried out after 24 h. D...
