The use of composite resins in dentistry is well accepted for restoring anterior and posterior teeth. Many polishing protocols have been evaluated their effect on the surface roughness restorative materials. This study compared different systems microhybrid composites. Thirty-six specimens were prepared each $#91;Charisma (Heraeus Kulzer), Fill Magic (Vigodent), TPH Spectrum (Dentsply), Z100 (3M/ESPE) Z250 (3M/ESPE)] submitted to treatment with Enhance PoGo (Dentsply) points, sequential...
Clinical Relevance Lower depth of cure with the LED unit, compared to QTH is associated different light scattering due differences in spectral emission.
The aim of this study was to verify the influence an experimental heat treatment (170ºC/10 min) using a casting furnace on mechanical properties (hardness and flexural strength) 2 commercial direct resin composites (TPH Spectrum Filtek P60) compared indirect system (BelleGlass). Heat temperature determined after thermal characterization by thermogravimetry (TG) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Data analyzed ANOVA Tukey's test at 5% significance level. There statistical for main...
This study evaluated the Vickers hardness (VHN) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) of composite Z100 (3M ESPE) cured with: Quartz-Tungsten-Halogen light curing unit (QTH) (700mW/cm2- 40 s) Argon laser (1,000mW/cm2- 10 s). Specimens 2 mm depth 8 diameter were immersed for 30 days at 37°C in different storage means: water, alcohol, acetic acid, propionic acid dry (control). The DTS (n = 8) was determined with a crosshead speed 0.5 mm/min. VHN test carried out using 50 g load 60 s....
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength a direct composite, for indirect application, that received heat treatment, with or without investment. One composite used comparison. For determination treatment temperature, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed, considering initial weight loss temperature glass transition (Tg). Then, after photoactivation (600 mW/cm² - 40 s), specimens (10 x 2 mm) heat-treated following...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence light exposure associated with 35% hydrogen peroxide (Pola Office, SDI, Melbourne, Vic., Australia) or 15% (BriteSmile, Discus, Culver City, CA, USA) on microhardness and color changes bovine enamel. Experimental groups were Britesmile + Light (BL) (15% plasm arc; 4 × 20 minutes), No (BN) (BL, no light), Pola office (PL) (35% LED; 8 (PN) (PL, light).

To evaluate the influence of different surface treatments on topography, roughness, energy, and microtensile bond strength stability resin cement to lithium disilicate glass ceramic.Seventy disc-shaped specimens IPS e.max Press were divided into seven groups according treatment: NT - non-treated (control); FSil hydrofluoric acid (HF) + silane; FPSil HF phosphoric (HP) FUSil ultrasonic bath (U) FPUSil HP U MEP Monobond Etch Prime (MEP); MEPH heating. Topography roughness evaluated using a 3D...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence an extended use desensitizing toothpastes (DTs) on dentin bonding, microhardness and roughness. One hundred twenty bovine incisor teeth were randomly divided into four groups: G1, distilled water (WATER); G2, Colgate Total 12 (CT12); G3, Sensitive Pro-Relief (CSPR); G4, Sensodyne Repair ?αμπ; Protect (SRP). Dentin surfaces etched with 17% EDTA 2 years simulated tooth brushing (20,000 cycles) performed their surfaces. Knoop microhardness,...
To verify the color change and contrast ratio of resin composites after curing 30 days storage in water.Dentin A2 shades different light-cured dental (Vittra APS, FGM, Brazil; Z350 XT, 3M ESPE, EUA; Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein, Charisma Diamond, Heraeus Kulzer, Germany) were tested. Ten rounded specimens (8 mm × 2 mm) prepared for each material. Reflectance all samples was obtained using a spectrophotometer (Minolta CM 3700d, Konica Minolta, Japan) before curing,...
To compare bond strength and failure location of lingual brackets indirectly bonded after enamel sandblasting with 27-, 50-, 90-µm aluminum oxide particles followed by 37% phosphoric acid etching.Eighty maxillary premolars were randomly divided into four equal groups according to the method surface conditioning: Group 1 (control) was etched acid, group 2, 3, 4 sandblasted particles, respectively, prior etching. Lingual using same protocol adhesive (Sondhi) in all groups. The maximum shear...
