Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence accelerated aging (AAA) on color stability resin cements for bonding ceramic laminate veneers different thicknesses. occlusal surfaces 80 healthy human molars were flattened. Ceramic (IPS e-max Ceram) two thicknesses (0.5 and 1.0 mm) bonded with three types luting agents: light-cured, conventional dual self-adhesive cement. Teeth without restorations cement samples used as control. After initial evaluations, subjected AAA 580 h....
The main of the study was quantify effect two ceramics with underlying resin cements on apparent fluorescence levels. Buccal surfaces bovine incisors were ground flat producing one enamel and dentin substrate. veneers fabricated (0.5 1.0 mm thickness) using (IPSe.max Press IPSe.max Zirpress, Ivoclar Vivadent). Veneers cemented either light-cured (Variolink II, Vivadent) or self-adhesive dual (Rely X U200, 3M ESPE) cement. layered Control group materials had no cement application....
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had quite an impact on dental health care. Concerns about the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through contaminant fluids and droplet formation during several procedures highly impacted care, drastically reducing number practices worldwide. To monitor contamination in clinics, a longitudinal study was carried out return practice at university. Methods Dental care professionals [(DHCPs); teachers, undergraduate students, assistants]...
To evaluate the effect of two adhesive systems and different aging protocols on bond strength a -repaired microhybrid composite.Eighty test specimens (n = 20) 10 control measuring 8 x 4 mm were fabricated composite (4 Seasons, shade A2) grouped according to time/aging protocol: G1: 24 h in artificial saliva; G2: 7 days G3: 30 G4: accelerated (AAA) for 384 h; G5: control. After aging, samples submitted three types surface treatment: SB2: Adper Single Bond 2, two-step (3M ESPE); SB3:...
Prosthetic rehabilitation is an option available for patients with extensive maxillofacial defects the ability to restore esthetics and function.The surgical procedure can result in anatomical functional sequelae leading functional, psychological aesthetic disorders.This clinical case report describes unique highly-specialized fabrication method of oral facial prosthesis a patient near total maxillectomy, excision upper lip, rhinectomy radiotherapy treatment malignant neoplasm.Four carefully...
Introdução: A violência se caracteriza pelo uso intencional de força física ou poder contra si mesmo, outra pessoa um grupo, atingindo indivíduos todas as idades e gêneros, sendo considerado grave problema saúde pública. Por sua vez, a mulher, seja em âmbito familiar comunitário, é com alta magnitude prevalência, que desencadeia repercussões físicas, psicológicas sociais, uma vez agressões prejudicam saúde, tanto pelas lesões resultantes quanto potencial desenvolverem dores crônicas,...
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors salivary glands. Resection this tumor can result in postsurgical morbidity, affecting patient’s quality life and normal oral functioning. This study aimed to present a successful case rehabilitation following mucoepidermoid resection palate. Following ablative surgery, 32-year-old patient experienced impairments both speech feeding due surgical wound. A protective stent that covered entire extent palate teeth was made....
The aim of this study was to compare the color change Giomer resin composite (Beautifil-Bulk) by using photographs obtained with a smartphone (iPhone 6S) associated Adobe Photoshop software (digital method), spectrophotometric method (Vita Easyshade) after immersion in different pigment solutions.Twenty samples diameter 15.0 mm and thickness 1.0 were confectioned A2 (n = 5). Photographs initial readings performed spectrophotometer, respectively. Then, randomly divided subjected cycles...
Maxillofacial prosthesis is an effective treatment for patients with facial sequelae, but it remains challenging professionals due to its high esthetic complexity. This study describes a clinical case of successful nasal prosthetic rehabilitation using digital technology and additive manufacturing. Initially, the 76-year-old patient, defect in region, had her face scanned 3-dimensional scanner laboratory planning prototype prosthesis. After approving image, working models muffle shape were...
Objective: This case report aims to present the microdontia treatment of tooth 35 through pre-prosthetic orthodontics, followed by re-anatomization with an indirect restoration. Case report: A 21-year-old female patient presented in 35, a distalized and vestibularized crown. In addition, 34 was gyroverted mesial diastema. Orthodontic mechanics segmented arch were used centralize alveolar ridge, close diastema 34, correct its gyroversion. For lingualization first-order fold (in set)...
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) may cause tissue deformation in patients who have undergone oral cancer surgery requiring resection of any part the mandible. Oral rehabilitation is a pivotal factor restoration function and esthetics. The aim this study was to report clinical case successful prosthetic 57-year-old woman presented with marginal mandibulectomy significant reduction maximal mouth opening after treatment for XP. With her reduced considerable loss structure tissue, she had difficulty...
The treatment of oral cancer can lead to various complications, including defects, tissue deformation, and trismus in patients who have undergone surgery with resection any part the maxillary. Restoring ability chew, swallow, maintain esthetics is essential a significant challenge. aim this study was report successful clinical case preprosthetic prosthetic rehabilitation 65-year-old man had marginal maxillectomy, resulting scarring reduction maximal mouth opening. achieved using conventional...
Objetivo: Relatar a taxa de sobrevivência implantes imediatos suportando overdentures mandibulares, em carga imediata, e o índice sucesso dos tratamentos acompanhados por 36 meses. Métodos: Os foram instalados um projeto extensão universitária que se propõe reabilitar pacientes baixa renda, com dentição seriamente comprometida. Quarenta dois selecionados para estudo. Em três casos, não alcançou travamento primário compatível procedimento imediata sobre implantes. Nesses pacientes, as...
The present study compared the effectiveness of brushing and over-the-counter tooth-whitening strips on stain removal. Forty bovine teeth were used. Initial color readings taken, half samples stained with grape juice for 7 days. others used as control. Both control randomly separated into 2 groups (n=10) according to treatment they underwent: whitening times/day 30 minutes days mechanical 1 year using toothpaste. After treatments, new taken results stability (ΔE) changes in coordinates (ΔL,...
Objetive: The main of this study was to clinically evaluate the effectiveness violet LED in bleaching non-vital teeth. Case series: three clinical cases were selected (1, 2 and 3), which showed changes colour specific teeth shades A2, C4 B3, respectively. Bleaching performed over sessions (one session/week). Each session consisted 20 applications for 60 s, with a 30 s interval between them. After using LED, 35% hydrogen peroxide applied 15 min 3, continuous irradiation last 5 min. dental...
