Aim: To comparethe time required to perform occluso-proximal restorations using different flowable resin composites (as an intermediate layer or entire cavity)with conventional resin composite (incremental technique). Materials and methods: Two standardized cavities were prepared on occlu...
Objective: Evaluate the mechanical properties of experimental adhesive models with different photoinitiators (PI) polymerized by LED units of different power densities. Material and Methods: Three groups of adhesive models based on HEMA/BisGMA (45/55) were prepared in association with different PI com...
Objective: Compare the pH values and calcium ion release of calcium hydroxide-based liner materials before and after light-curing. Material and Methods: The materials evaluated were: hydrox-cal white (HW), hydrox-cal dentin (HD), Biocal (BC) and UltraBlend Plus (UB). 120 samples of the liner materials we...
Abstract This study evaluates the effect of curing modes and times on the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. Two nanocomposite resins were investigated: suprananohybrid (Estelite Posterior Quick; EP) and nanohybrid (Solare X; SX). They were polymerized with a light-emitting diode light-curing units...
O primeiro aparelho de arco reto foi introduzido há mais de 40 anos para aumentar a consistência e a eficiência do tratamento ortodôntico. Mais recentemente, a tecnologia de planejamento e manufatura auxiliada por computador (CAD / CAM) tem sido usada para auxiliar o ortodontista na busca do melhor p...
This study evaluated the effect of contamination of composite resins (CRs) handled by undergraduate students during restorative procedures, varying the time (baseline, 30 days and 60 days) and experimental condition (before and after handling, contamination with saliva [positive cont...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of two types of light-curing units (second and third generations) and two types of bulk-fill composite resins with different photoinitiators - Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TNCB) and Xtra Fil (XTF) on gap formation at the gingival margins of Cl II restorations. Ma...
Abstract Introduction composite resins are indicated to the reconstruction of proximal walls and the evaluation of properties of flow bulk-fill composite resins exposed to acid challenge is necessary. Objective to evaluate the microhardness and roughness at different depths of photoactivation of bulk-f...
Introdução: a inovação dos métodos de fotopolimerização foi proposta na tentativa de diminuir o estresse de contração de polimerização das resinas compostas e proporcionar maior conforto ao paciente, reduzindo o tempo de atendimento odontológico. Objetivo: avaliar a microdureza de duas resina...
Introduction: Endodontically treated teeth are usually affected by extensive structure loss requiring the use of intraradicular posts to provide retention and restoration. Objective: An in vitro assessment was performed on the bonding of glass fiber posts to the root dentin. Material and method: Ninety...
