Bond strength according to the moment of fiber post cutting fixed with self-adhesive cement to the root dentin
Background The fiber posts require a cut in the coronal portion to adjust it to the available clinical space. The cutting of posts cemented may generate tension via bur vibrations of drill on the bonding interface, with the possibility of decreasing the bond strength. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate if the moment of cutting the fiber posts has an effect on its bond strength when fixed with self-adhesive resin cement. Material and methods Thirty-six bovine teeth were randomly divided into three groups after endodontic treatment and post space preparation (n = 12): IAC- the fiber posts were cutting immediately after cementation; ACR - the fiber posts were cutting after coronal reconstructi…
Color change of the bleached enamel treated with calcium silicate- sodium phosphate-sodium monofluorophosphate-based system
Background The increasing demand of tooth bleaching has also increased the need of researches focusing on the durability of the resultant color. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a system based on calcium silicate, sodium phosphate and sodium monofluorophosphate (Regenerate™) on color maintenance of bleached enamel considering two waiting times for the contact with a cola drink. Material and Methods This in vitrostudy was performed on bovine enamel specimens (n = 100), bleached with 35% H2O2 and treated with: G1 Distilled water; G2 Artificial saliva; G3 RegenerateTM Serum and Toothpaste; G4 RegenerateTM Toothpaste; G5 RegenerateTM Serum. The groups G3, G4 and G5 received o…
Evaluation of the effect of different enamel surface treatments and waiting times on the staining prevention after bleaching
Background Bleached dental enamel can be more susceptible to staining than the enamel that has never been bleached, especially right after tooth bleaching. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of surface treatments and waiting time prior to contact with dye on bleached enamel staining susceptibility. Material and Methods One hundred teeth were bleached with 35% hydrogen peroxide (Whiteness HP, FGM) and randomly assigned to G1 artificial saliva, G2 2% sodium fluoride (Flugel, Nova DFL), G3 casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride paste (CPP-ACPF, MI Paste Plus, GC America), G4 rinse for color maintenance after bleaching (Keep White Rinse, DMC) and G5 polishing wi…
