Reliability, failure probability, and strength of resin-based materials for CAD/CAM restorations

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: This study investigated the Weibull parameters and 5% fracture probability of direct, indirect composites, and CAD/CAM composites. Material and Methods: Discshaped (12 mm diameter x 1 mm thick) specimens were prepared for a direct composite [Z100 (ZO), 3M-ESPE], an indirect laborato...

M/F changes after T-loop upper horizontal bending in segmented arch mechanics

bTi T-type loops are a frictionless, efficient alternative for extraction space closure. Changes in the upper horizontal portion of T-type loops to improve their mechanical behavior have been proposed, but differences in their biomechanical characteristics have not been well described. This stu dy analyz...

The impact of clinical use on the torsional behavior of Reciproc and WaveOne instruments

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Torsional overload is a fracture representative parameter for instruments in single-file techniques. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the influence of clinical use, in vivo, on the torsional behavior of Reciproc and WaveOne instruments considering the possibility that they degrade...

Superelasticity and force plateau of nickel-titanium springs: an in vitro study

abstract Objective: This paper analyzed whether nickel-titanium closed coil springs (NTCCS) have a different superelastic (SE) behavior according to activation and whether their force plateau corresponds to that informed by the manufacturer. Methods: A total of 160 springs were divided into 16 subgrou...

Influence of prolonged use of desensitizing dentifrices on dentin bond strength of self-etching adhesive system

Dentin hypersensitivity is a relatively common clinical condition, which affects a large part of the world's population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of previous and prolonged treatment with desensitizing dentifrices (DD) on bond strength to dentin, promoted by a self-etching...

Effect of cantilever length and alloy framework on the stress distribution in peri-implant area of cantilevered implant-supported fixed partial dentures

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Because many mechanical variables are present in the oral cavity, the proper load transfer between the prosthesis and the bone is important for treatment planning and for the longevity of the implant-supported fixed partial denture. Objectives To verify the stress generated on the peri-implant...

Efeito de duas técnicas de gradação da zircônia no limite de fadiga de próteses parciais fixas monolíticas de três elementos

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de duas técnicas de gradação da zircônia no limite de fadiga de próteses parciais fixas (PPFs) de 03 elementos. Blocos pré-sinterizados de 3Y-TZP (zircônia policristalina parcialmente estabilizada por 3% mol de ítria) foram fresados para obter 69 PPF...

Avaliação da resistência à fadiga e modalidades de danos de coroas unitárias de dissilicato de lítio e resina nanocerâmica

Fraturas completas ou por delaminação são causas frequentes de insucesso entre coroas unitárias cerâmicas. O uso de materiais à base de resina composta, em contraponto à natureza friável das cerâmicas, parece ser uma alternativa para coroas posteriores, uma vez que apresentam processo de fabrica...

Optimizing light-cured composite through variations in camphorquinone and butylhydroxytoluene concentrations

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The use of a free-radical polymerization inhibitor, butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), and a common photo-initiator, camphorquinone (CQ), to reduce polymerization stress in dental composite was investigated in this study. Samples were prepared by mixing Bis-GMA, UDMA, and TEGDMA at a 1:1:1 ratio (wt%), ...

Prosthetic abutment influences bone biomechanical behavior of immediately loaded implants

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the type of prosthetic abutment associated to different implant connection on bone biomechanical behavior of immediately and delayed loaded implants. Computed tomography-based finite element models comprising a mandible with a single molar implant we...
