Objectives
This study compared the Biodentine, MTA Repair HP, and Bio-C Repair bioceramics in terms of bond strength to dentin, failure mode, and compression.
Materials and Methods
Fifty-four slices obtained from the cervical third of 18 single-rooted human mandibular premolars were randomly distributed (
n
= 18). After insertion of the bioceramic materials, the push-out test was performed. The failure mode was analyzed using stereomicroscopy. Another set of cylindrically-shaped bioceramic samples (
n
= 10) was prepared for compressive strength testing. The normality of data distribution was analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The Kruskal-Wallis and Friedman tests were used for the push-out test data, while compressive strength was analyzed with analysis of variance and the Tukey test, considering a significance level of 0.05.
Results
Biodentine presented a higher median bond strength value (14.79 MPa) than MTA Repair HP (8.84 MPa) and Bio-C Repair (3.48 MPa), with a significant difference only between Biodentine and Bio-C Repair. In the Biodentine group, the most frequent failure mode was mixed (61%), while in the MTA Repair HP and Bio-C Repair groups, it was adhesive (94% and 72%, respectively). Biodentine showed greater resistance to compression (29.59 ± 8.47 MPa) than MTA Repair HP (18.68 ± 7.40 MPa) and Bio-C Repair (19.96 ± 3.96 MPa) (
p
< 0.05).
Conclusions
Biodentine showed greater compressive strength than MTA Repair HP and Bio-C Repair, and greater bond strength than Bio-C Repair. The most frequent failure mode of Biodentine was mixed, while that of MTA Repair HP and Bio-C Repair was adhesive.
Objetivo: Determinar a umidade relativa (UR) do ar ao nível da borda incisal dos incisivos centrais superiores sob diferentes técnicas de isolamento do campo operatório. Material e Métodos: As medições de UR foram realizadas com um termo-higrômetro digital. Quatro pacientes foram selecionados e submetidos a três diferentes técnicas de isolamento: 1- isolamento absoluto; 2- isolamento modificado; 3- isolamento relativo. Nas técnicas de isolamento modificado e relativo foram ainda colocados dispositivos de aspiração por compressor e por bomba a vácuo, para verificação de sua influência na UR. Após o isolamento, o higrômetro foi posicionado ao nível da borda incisal dos incisivos centrais superiores e as medidas de UR foram registradas e calculadas as médias. Resultados: A UR do ambiente no dia das aferições foi de 31%. As medições com isolamento relativo apresentaram média de 98%. O uso de aspiração reduziu os valores de UR para 86% com compressor e 69% com bomba a vácuo. As medições realizadas com isolamento modificado apresentaram valores que variaram de 31% a 95%, dependendo do uso de sistemas de aspiração, enquanto as obtidas sob isolamento absoluto apresentaram um valor médio de 33%. Conclusões: As medições demonstram que a UR se encontra quase totalmente saturada ao nível de incisivos centrais superiores com isolamento relativo, enquanto os valores obtidos com o isolamento absoluto demonstram que é verdadeiramente absoluto, propiciando as melhores condições para os procedimentos clínicos.
