Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical behaviour maxillary premolar teeth regarding root morphology and abfraction depth, submitted axial oblique occlusal load. investigation conducted using 3D finite element analysis strain gauge test. Sound single double were selected for model generation. scanned external data acquisition. geometry stored in *. STL exported Bio‐ CAD software (Rhinoceros‐3D) Mesh generation, mechanical properties boundary conditions performed...
The present study analysed the effects of different occlusal loading on premolars displaying various non-carious cervical lesions morphologies, restored (or not) with composites, by 3D finite element analysis.A three-dimensional digital model a maxillary premolar was generated using CAD software. Three morphological types were simulated: wedged-shaped, saucer and mixed. All virtual models underwent three (100 N): vertical, buccal palatal loading. simulated morphologies without restorations...
The aim of this study was to investigate how Brazilian dentists perceive and manage dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in their clinical routine.A 13-item questionnaire-based survey developed sent electronically a convenience sample dentists.The questionnaire assessed the personal dental practice characteristics sample, occurrence DH daily practice, management strategies.The data were analyzed descriptively together with chi-square test (a = 0.05).A total 353 responses obtained from September 2017...
Abstract Background Information on fracture biomechanics has implications in materials research and clinical practice. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence non‐carious cervical lesion ( NCCL ) size, restorative status direction occlusal loading biomechanical behaviour mandibular premolars, using finite element analysis FEA ), strain gauge tests resistance tests. Methods Ten buccal cusps were loaded outer inner slopes calculate generated cervically. Data collected for healthy...
Objective: A single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of desensitizing agents with different action mechanisms in reducing cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH) after four application sessions, 24-week follow-up. Materials and methods: Sixty patients CDH were selected study allocated three groups treatment: Desensibilize KF 2%, Clinpro XT Varnish, Photon Lase III (100 mW, 4 J/cm2-1 J/cm2 each point, 10 sec per point wavelength 808 nm). There...
The aim of this study was to analyze the biomechanical behavior lower premolars regarding non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) depth, load type and restoration status, using finite element analysis.Twodimensional virtual model simulating a healthy premolar were created CAD software.Based on image, five models generated: (H), three types NCCLs: small (SL -0.5 mm deep), medium (ML -1.0 mm), deep (DL -1.5 restored (RL).The export CAE software (ANSYS Finite Element Analysis Software), areas all...
This study aimed to assess the distribution of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) by tooth type, investigate prevalence NCCLs in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, and identify possible associated factors. A total 160 were enrolled this retrospective study. Data on following variables collected from pre-and post-orthodontic treatment records: age, sex, Angle's malocclusion, facial pattern, number activation sessions, compensatory retreatment. Frontal, right left lateral intraoral...
Introduction: Dental lesions and cavity preparations can impact the biomechanical behavior of teeth due to tooth structure loss. Objective: Analyze influence loss associated non-carious cervical (NCCLs) coronary on maxillary premolars, restored or not, using finite element analysis (FEA). Material methods: Virtual models were generated a longitudinal cut image premolar, exported software (Ansys 12.0) analyzed as follows: sound (S); MOD preparation (P); with composite resin (PR); lesion (L);...
The aim of the study was to analyze and quantify influence isthmus extension depth MOD cavity upper premolars on stress distribution by means two-dimensional finite element method. Seven different homogeneous elastic models were created:Model 1, intact teeth;Model 2, with 2 mm isthmus, composite resin restoration;Model 3, 3 4, 4 5, 6, 7, restoration. Each model submitted a 100N load analyzed. greater extent cavity, generated in pulp wall cervical region tooth. Increasing intensifies these...
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Noncarious Cervical Lesions (NCCL), Dentin Hypersensitivity (CDH) and Gingival Recession (GR) their associated risk factors in athletes. Methodology: A questionnaire was used obtain basic information. An evaluator clinically examined all subjects. Statistical analysis performed using Poisson multiple regression with robust variance, ratio confidence intervals (95%) were calculated. Results: The final sample consisted 264 athletes...
A constante busca por um sorriso harmonico e estetico eleva o nivel de exigencia expectativa dos pacientes. As facetas laminadas destacam-se como opcao tratamento para a reabilitacao estetica na pratica clinica proporcionarem procedimentos mais conservadores com mimetismo das estruturas dentais. O desenvolvimento novos sistemas cerâmicos reforcados dissilicato Litio cimentos resinosos auto-adesivos, favoreceu aumento da longevidade performance restauracoes esteticas indiretas. Este trabalho...
Diastemas among maxillary incisors and gingival contour disharmony are common findings patients in dental practice.Ceramic veneers indicated for esthetic rehabilitation of anterior diastemas due their predictable results, optical characteristics, fracture resistance tooth structure conservation.However, because it is a friable material have brittle behavior, fractures occurrences related to trauma, oclusal overload, parafunctional habits fatigue.This article describes 30 months follow-up an...
