Microdureza de cimentos de ionômeros de vidro indicados para a técnica do ART, variando-se a proteção superficial e o tempo de armazenamento

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a microdureza de cimentos de ionômero de vidro (CIV): Vidrion R (V) .- SS White; Fuji IX (F) . GC Corp; Magic Glass ART (MG) - Vigodent; Maxxion R (MR) - FGM e ChemFlex (CF) - Dentsply, na presença ou ausência de proteção superficial, em diferentes períodos de armazenamento. Para cada CIV foram confeccionados 36 corpos-de-prova (3 mm altura X 3 mm diâmetro), divididos em 3 grupos em função da proteção superficial (sem proteção, verniz do Fuji IX ou esmalte para unha). Os espécimes foram armazenados em água destilada por 24 h, 7 e 30 dias e os testes de microdureza foram realizados nestes tempos. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos ao teste de ANOVA para medidas repetidas e teste de Tukey ('alfa'=5%), e revelaram que os valores médios de microdureza, no geral, em ordem decrescente dos CIV foram: F > CF = MR > MG > V; que a proteção superficial foi significante para o MR em 24 h sem proteção (64,2'mais ou menos'3,6a), proteção com verniz (59,6'mais ou menos'3,4b) e com esmalte (62,7'mais ou menos'2,8ab); para o F, em 7 dias, sem proteção (97,8'mais ou menos'3,7ab), proteção com verniz (95,9'mais ou menos'3,2b) e com esmalte (100,8'mais ou menos'3,4a) e em 30 dias para o F sem proteção (98,8'mais ou menos'2,6b), proteção com verniz (103,3'mais ou menos'4,4a) e com esmalte (101'mais ou menos'4,1ab) e V sem proteção (46'mais ou menos'1,3b), proteção com verniz (49,6'mais ou menos'1,7ab) com esmalte (51,1'mais ou menos'2,6a) e o aumento do tempo de armazenamento proporcionou um aumento da microdureza. Concluiu-se que os diferentes CIV, tipo de proteção e tempo de armazenamento, podem alterar os valores de microdureza...The aim of this study was to evaluate the microhardness of glass ionomer cement (GIC): Vidrion R (V) - SS White; Fuji IX (F) - GC Corp.; Magic Glass ART (MG) - Vigodent; Maxxion R (MR) - FGM and ChemFlex (CF) - Dentsply, with or without surface protection in different storage time. Thirty six specimens for each GIC (3 mm diameter X 3 mm height) were made and these specimens were divided into three groups, according to the surface protection (without protection, varnish protection of the Fuji IX or protection with nail varnish). The samples were stored in distilled water for 24 h, 7 and 30 days and the microhardness test was carried out using a microhardner in those times. The data were submitted to repeated measures analysis of variance test and Tukey test ('alfa' =0.05) and showed that mean microhardness values, in general, of the GIC followed the decrescent order: F > CF = MR > MG > V; the surface protection was significant for MR in 24 h without protection (64.2'mais ou menos'3.6a), protection with varnish (59.6'mais ou menos'3.4b) and nail varnish (62.7'mais ou menos'2.8ab); for F in 7 days without protection (97.8'mais ou menos'3.7ab), protection with varnish (95.9'mais ou menos'3.2b) and nail varnish (100.8'mais ou menos'3.4a); for F in 30 days without protection (98.8'mais ou menos'2.6b), protection with varnish (103.3'mais ou menos'4.4a) and nail varnish (101'mais ou menos'4.1ab) and for V in 30 days without protection (46'mais ou menos'1.3b), protection with varnish (49.6'mais ou menos'1.7ab) and nail varnish (51.1'mais ou menos'2.6a) and surface microhardness generally increased with time. It was concluded that different trade mark, surface protection and storage times can influence microhardness of GIC.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES

Microhardness of glass ionomer cements indicated for the ART technique according to surface protection treatment and storage time

The aim of this study was to assess the microhardness of 5 glass ionomer cements (GIC) - Vidrion R (V, SS White), Fuji IX (F, GC Corp.), Magic Glass ART (MG, Vigodent), Maxxion R (MR, FGM) and ChemFlex (CF, Dentsply) - in the presence or absence of a surface protection treatment, and after different storage periods. For each GIC, 36 test specimens were made, divided into 3 groups according to the surface protection treatment applied - no protection, varnish or nail varnish. The specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 h, 7 and 30 days and the microhardness tests were performed at these times. The data obtained were submitted to the ANOVA for repeated measures and Tukey tests (α = 5%). The results revealed that the mean microhardness values of the GICs were, in decreasing order, as follows: F > CF = MR > MG > V; that surface protection was significant for MR, at 24 h, without protection (64.2 ± 3.6a), protected with GIC varnish (59.6 ± 3.4b) and protected with nail varnish (62.7 ± 2.8ab); for F, at 7 days, without protection (97.8 ± 3.7ab), protected with varnish (95.9 ± 3.2b) and protected with nail varnish (100.8 ± 3.4a); and at 30 days, for F, without protection (98.8 ± 2.6b), protected with varnish (103.3 ± 4.4a) and protected with nail varnish (101 ± 4.1ab) and, for V, without protection (46 ± 1.3b), protected with varnish (49.6 ± 1.7ab) and protected with nail varnish (51.1 ± 2.6a). The increase in storage time produced an increase in microhardness. It was concluded that the different GICs, surface protection treatments and storage times could alter the microhardness values

Bond strength of resin modified glass ionomer cement to primary dentin after cutting with different bur types and dentin conditioning

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different bur types and acid etching protocols on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin modified glass ionomer cement (RM-GIC) to primary dentin. Forty-eight clinically sound human primary molars were selected and randomly assigned to four groups (n=12). In G1, the lingual surface of the teeth was cut with a carbide bur until a 2.0-mm-diameter dentin area was exposed, followed by the application of RM-GIC (Vitremer - 3M/ESPE) prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. The specimens of G2, received the same treatment of G1, however the dentin was conditioned with phosphoric acid. In groups G3 and G4 the same procedures of G1 and G2 were conducted respectively, nevertheless dentin cutting was made with a diamond bur. The specimens were stored in distilled water at 37ºC for 24h, and then tested in a universal testing machine. SBS. data were submitted to 2-way ANOVA (= 5%) and indicated that SBS values of RM-GIC bonded to primary dentin cut with different burs were not statistically different, but the specimens that were conditioned with phosphoric acid presented SBS values significantly higher that those without conditioning. To observe micromorphologic characteristics of the effects of dentin surface cut by diamond or carbide rotary instruments and conditioners treatment, some specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Smear layer was present in all specimens regardless of the type of rotary instrument used for dentin cutting, and specimens etched with phosphoric acid presented more effective removal of smear layer. It was concluded that SBS of a RM-GIC to primary dentin was affected by the acid conditioning but the bur type had no influence
