Abstract

PURPOSE: This study investigated temperature changes at the implant-bone interface during simulated implant surface decontamination with an Er:YAG laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Stepped cylinder implants with three different surfaces (titanium plasma sprayed, sandblasted and acid etched, and hydroxyapatite coated) were placed in bone blocks cut from freshly resected pig femurs. An artificial periimplant bone defect with a size of 6 mm2 provided access for laser irradiation in the coronal third of the implant. A 540-pm periimplantitis application tip was used at a distance of 0.5 mm from the implant surface. Pulse energy was varied between 60 and 120 mJ at 10 pps. The bone block was placed into a 37 degrees C water bath to simulate in vivo thermal conductivity and diffusitivity of heat. K-type thermocouples connected to a digital meter were used to register temperature changes at three levels of the periimplant bone. RESULTS: The temperature at the implant-bone interface did not exceed 47 degrees C after 120 seconds of continuing laser irradiation. Temperature elevations were significantly higher at the hydroxyapatite-coated implants than in the two titanium surface groups (P < .001). CONCLUSION: Decontamination of implant surfaces by means of the Er:YAG laser did not excessively heat the periimplant bone within the energy range investigated. This technique therefore seems clinically safe, at least when used with the surfaces studied.

Evaluation of shear bond strength of composite to porcelain according to surface treatment.

This study evaluated the shear bond strength of porcelain/composite using 40 metal + porcelain + composite cylindrical specimens divided into 4 groups, according to porcelain surface treatment: 1) no treatment, 2) mechanical retentions performed with diamond burs, 3) etching with phosphoric acid+silane, and 4) etching with hydrofluoric acid+silane. After being stored in distilled water at room temperature for one week, the specimens were submitted to a shear force (load) and the data were analyzed statistically (ANOVA). The means (in Mpa) of the groups were: 4.71 (group 1); 4.81 (group 2); 11.76 (group 3); 11.07 (group 4). There were no statistically significant differences between groups 1 and 2 and between groups 3 and 4.

Effect of dentinal pretreatments on coronal dentin primary carious lesions: a field emission SEM study.

The aim of the study was the morphological analysis of coronal dentin caries and the modifications induced by different pretreatments with phosphoric acid or sodium hypochlorite. Carious dentin specimens were obtained from human molars affected by carious lesions. Specimens were divided in four groups and submitted to: (1) untreated; (2) 35% phosphoric acid for 15 s; (3) 35% phosphoric acid for 15 s and 5% sodium hypochlorite for 2 min; (4) sodium hypochlorite for 5 min. Specimens were observed under high-resolution SEM. Different areas were identified within the carious lesion: a deeper, inner region revealing closed highly mineralized tubules, and a more superficial outer layer showing an increasing demineralization rate toward the surface of the lesion. Phosphoric acid followed by NaOCl treatment removed all collagen fibrils from greatly altered carious outer-dentin layer. The 5-min treatment with sodium hypochlorite affected both inner and outer dentin, removing all collagen fibrils and increasing the porosities of deeper intertubular hypermineralized dentin. FEISEM analysis confirmed that only inner carious dentin after phosphoric acid treatment may be considered a suitable substrate for dentinal bonding system. On the contrary, the outer dentin is an unstable substrate for any type of bonding systems and must be avoided/removed from any surface before conditioner application.

Microleakage and interfacial morphology of self-etching adhesives in class V resin composite restorations.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the marginal leakage of three adhesive systems in Class V resin composite restorations. Two adhesive systems containing acidic primers: Clearfil SE Bond (CSEB) and Etch & Prime 3.0 (E&P), were compared with a conventional water-based primer: Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus (SBMP). Class V cavities were made at the cementum-enamel junction of extracted human molars, which were then divided between three groups. One of the adhesive systems was applied to each group following manufacturers' instructions. Composite restorations were placed, light cured for 40 s, and polished. Specimens were then immersed in a solution of 2% basic fuchsin dye for 24 h. Longitudinal sections were obtained and studied with a stereomicroscope for assessment of the microleakage according to the degree of dye penetration (scale of 0-3). Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney tests, and the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. Two specimens for each group were analyzed by scanning-electron microscopy (SEM). Bonded interfaces of dentin were also examined by transmission-electron microscopy (TEM). On enamel, there were no significant differences between the three groups. On dentin, CSEB showed the lowest dye penetration values among the three adhesive systems. SEM and TEM studies showed hybrid layer and resin tag formations in all groups.
