Avaliação ex vivo da infiltração coronária em canais obturados com AH PLUS e MTA FILLAPEX

TCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Odontologia.INTRODUÇÃO: A obturação consiste no preenchimento tridimensional do canal radicular com os objetivos de criar um selamento efetivo contra a penetração de bactérias e proporcionar um ambiente favorável ao reparo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a infiltração coronária em canais obturados com guta-percha e cimentos AH Plus e MTA FILLAPEX. MÉTODOS: Após acesso, mensuração e esvaziamento dos canais de 36 pré-molares unirradiculados, o preparo foi realizado com o sistema ProTaper, e o canal ampliado até o instrumento F4 sob irrigação com solução de hipoclorito de sódio 1%. Trinta dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em grupos (n=15) de acordo com o cimento obturador utilizado: G1: MTA FILLAPEX e G2: AH Plus. Após a obturação, realizada com cones ProTaper F4, os dentes foram mantidos em estufa a 37ºC durante 7 dias. Seis dentes foram empregados nos grupos-controle positivo (n=3) e negativo (n=3). O teste de infiltração do corante nanquim foi conduzido sob pressão de 60kPa,por 8 min. Após a diafanização, foi avaliada a penetração do corante por terços radiculares. RESULTADOS: Houve infiltração em 8 e 7 amostras dos G1 e G2, respectivamente. Em nenhuma amostra do G2, o corante atingiu o terço apical, ficando restrito aos terços cervical e médio. Em quatro amostras do G1, o corante foi visualizado no terço apical. Na avaliação da infiltração total, os testes χ2 e exato de Fisher não revelaram diferença significativa entre os grupos 1 e 2. Quando a penetração do corante foi avaliada por terços, o teste de proporções demonstrou que, para o terço apical, os grupos foram significativamente diferentes (p= 0,0317). CONCLUSÃO: Foi possível concluir que os dois cimentos avaliados permitiram, de forma semelhante, a infiltração do corante nos terços cervical e médio do canal. Quando avaliada a infiltração até o terço apical, o cimento MTA FILLAPEX demonstrou uma qualidade de selamento inferior ao do cimento AH Plus

Influência da exposição do Biodentine ao tampão fosfato-salino sobre o selamento apical e a resistência de união à dentina (push-out)

Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia, Florianópolis, 2014.Um novo material a base de silicato tricálcico (Ca3SiO5) - Biodentine foi lançado no mercado como alternativa ao MTA. Segundo o fabricante, é considerado um material reparador para diferentes situações clínicas. No entanto, não se tem conhecimento se, à semelhança do MTA, a capacidade de selamento e a resistência de união do Biodentine à dentina podem ser melhoradas após a interação com o tampão fosfato-salino (PBS). Assim, os objetivos deste estudo foram: i) avaliar e comparar, pelo método de infiltração de glicose, a capacidade de selamento proporcionada por plugs apicais de Biodentine e de MTA em um modelo ex vivo de apicificação, e ii) avaliar a influência da exposição e do tempo de contato ao tampão fosfato-salino (PBS) na resistência de união (RU) sob cisalhamento (push-out) do Biodentine à dentina. Para avaliação do selamento, o espaço do canal de 100 segmentos radiculares com 12 mm de comprimento foi alargado com brocas Gates-Glidden. Depois de realizada uma cavidade apical retrógrada e irrigação final com EDTA 17% seguido por NaOCl 1%, os segmentos radiculares foram aleatoriamente divididos em 4 grupos (n = 25) de acordo com o material utilizado na confecção do plug apical e o contato do plug com PBS: G1 - Biodentine; G2 - Biodentine + PBS intracanal; G3 - MTA e G4 - MTA + PBS intracanal. As aberturas cervicais foram seladas com Cimpat Rosa e os segmentos inseridos em uma esponja floral umedecida com PBS. Após 2 meses, os segmentos radiculares foram submetidos ao teste de infiltração de glicose sob pressão (103 KPa), durante 60 min. A concentração de glicose infiltrada foi determinada por um espectrofotômetro, e os dados analisados pelo teste qui-quadrado (p Abstract : A new material based on tricalcium silicate (Ca3SiO5) - Biodentine was launched in the market as an alternative to the MTA. According to the manufacturer, is considered a repair material for different clinical situations. However, it is not known if, like the MTA, the sealing ability and bond strength to dentin of Biodentine can be improved after interaction with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Then, the aim of this study were: i) to evaluate and compare, using a glucose leakage system, the sealing ability provided by apical plugs of MTA and Biodentine an ex vivo apexification model, and ii) to analyse the influence of exposure and time of contact of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to Biodentine on the push-out bond strength (BS). To evaluate the sealing, the space of the canal of 100 root segments with about 12 mm long was shaped using Gates-Glidden. After created an apical retrograde cavity and final canal rinse with 17% EDTA followed by 1% NaOCl, the root segments were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 25) according to the materials used to form the apical plug and the contact of the plug with PBS: G1 ? Biodentine; G2 - Biodentine + PBS intracanal dressing; G3 - MTA e G4 - MTA + PBS intracanal dressing. All access openings were filled with Cimpat Rosa and all root segments were introduced in floral foams moistened with PBS. After 2 months, all root segments were prepared to evaluate the glucose leakage under pressure (103 KPa) for 60 min. The amount of glucose leakage was quantified by a spectrophotometer and the data were analyzed using chi-square test (p < 0.05). To evaluate the BS, 80 dentine sections with 2-mm-thick were obtained from section transversal of human teeth roots. The space of the canal was enlarged using Gates-Glidden burs numbers 2?5 to obtain 1.3-mm-diameter standardized cavities. The sections were immersed in 17% EDTA followed by NaOCl 1%, and were dried. After, the space of the canal were filled with Biodentine and the discs were divided into two groups according to the storage: G1 (n = 40): storage with moistened cotton; G2 (n = 40): PBS. After 30 min, 1, 3 and 28 days, 10 samples of each group were submitted to the push-out test. Data were analyzed using the ANOVA and Tukey test (P < 0.05). With respect to the leakage test, traces of the glucose were observed in a higher number of samples that received Biodentine apical plug (p < 0.05). The exposure of both sealers to PBS intracanal dressing did not influence the sealing ability. With respect to the push-out test, the samples exposed to PBS had lower BS (P < 0.05), except at 1 day (p = 0.6017). The G1, the BS increased each time until 3 days (p < 0.05). The G2 samples, the BS increased within 30 min to 1 day (p < 0.0001), and maintained stable until 3 days (p = 0.9876). At 28 days, were observed a significant decrease of the BS in both groups (p < 0.05). It was concluded that the Biodentine had lower sealing ability than MTA, and generally, the BS increased progressively until 3 days and decreased at 28 days. The exposure of both sealers to PBS did not influence the sealing ability and promoted lower values of BS to Biodentine to dentine.<br

Effectiveness of nanoparticles solutions and conventional endodontic irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm

Context: To overcome the challenge imposed by the presence of biofilm and reach significant bacterial reduction of the root canals, many irrigants have been indicated during endodontic treatment, among them nanoparticles solutions. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of experimental solutions containing silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO Np) and conventional endodontic irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm, in root canals. Methods: Seventy-six extracted human teeth were biomechanically prepared and sterilized. The root canal surface was exposed to E. faecalis suspension to form a 7-day-old biofilm. Four teeth were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to confirm the presence of biofilm. The remaining teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 12) and treated with passive ultrasonic irrigation and different solutions: G1 – 0.85% saline (control); G2 – 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX); G3 – 5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl); G4 – 1% NaOCl; G5 – 1% silver nanoparticles (Ag Np) solution; and G6 – 26% ZnO Np solution. The susceptibility of E. faecalis biofilms to disinfecting solutions (n = 10) was determined by quantification of colony-forming units. SEM analysis was also carried out to examine the biofilm structure after treatments (n = 2). Data were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn post hoc tests (P < 0.05). Results: All tested solutions showed superior effectiveness compared to 0.85% saline (P < 0.05). Overall, 2% CHX presented the most effective action against E. faecalis biofilm, followed by 5% NaOCl, 1% Ag Np, 26% ZnO Np, and 1% NaOCl. Conclusions: 1% Ag Np and 26% ZnO Np were effective against E. faecalis biofilm similarly to conventional endodontic irrigants
