The aim of this work was to analyze the properties and shear bond strength (SBS) of lithium disilicate to resin cement before and after etching the glass-ceramic surfaces. Lithium-metasilicate samples were heat treated and characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray diffraction and roughness measurement. For the analysis of the shear bonding strength (SBS) of lithium disilicate to dental resin cement, three groups (n = 12) of Li 2 Si 2 O 5 were prepared: 1°)without treatment (NT); 2°)surface etching with hydrofluoric acid(HF), followed by silane agent and adhesive treatment; 3°) surface treatment with a self-etching ceramic primer (SECP). After the heat-treatment, the samples had Li 2 Si 2 O 5 crystalline phase dispersed in a residual amorphous phase. Roughness of the NT and SECP samples was smaller that of the HF samples. Samples without surface treatment (NT) had the lowest SBS (5.5MPa). HF(24.2MPa) and SECP(24.8MPa) samples has similar SBS. Weibull statistics showed that HF-samples are more reliable than NT and SECP. The SBS was significantly increased by either HF etching and SECP surface treatment. While the chemical characteristics of the surface submitted to SECP treatment are considered to be responsible for the SBS increase, the main adhesion mechanism after HF etching is the increase in surface roughness.
Com o objetivo de avaliar a presença de tags do cimento de Resilon nos túbulos dentinários da região apical, variando a técnica de manipulação, foram selecionados vinte dentes unirradiculares humanos que tiveram suas coroas seccionadas no limite amelo-cementário. O preparo do canal foi realizado com três instrumentos além do diâmetro anatômico apical, com o uso de substâncias químicas hipoclorito de sódio a 2,5%, endo-PTC e EDTA-T com Irrigação passiva ultrassônica. Em seguida, os dentes foram divididos em dois grupos, sendo que o cimento para o grupo controle foi preparado com a ponta “automix” e o grupo espatulado foi acrescido de manipulação manual, ambos obturados com a técnica de termoplastificação do material obturador. Os dentes foram preparados para a análise na microscopia eletrônica de varredura, e para avaliar os resultados, as fotomicrografias foram qualificadas como amostras com presença de tags e amostras sem presença de tags. Conclui-se frente à metodologia utilizada que os grupos tiveram o mesmo perfil de presença de tags produzidos quando acrescida a espatulação manual do cimento preparado com a ponta “automix”.
