Background Immediate dentin sealing implies applying an adhesive system to dentin directly after tooth preparation, before impression. The technique is universal (inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns) and well documented clinically and experimentally. Different types of dentin bonding agents (DBAs) are available on the market. Major differences lie in the thickness of the hybrid layer and overlaying adhesive resin (filled vs. unfilled/lightly filled adhesives). Objective The objective of this work is to provide precise clinical instructions and present new experimental data about the bond strength of five DBAs (Optibond FL, Scotchbond MP, Single Bond Plus, Clearfil SE Bond, and Scotchbond Universal) used conventionally (dentin sealed at the time of restoration delivery) or with immediate dentin sealing, as well as with an additional flowable resin coating. Methods Seventy‐five human molars were selected, restored/tested according the microtensile bond strength method. Fifteen groups (n=5) were obtained from the combination of the five DBAs and three application modes: delayed dentin sealing, immediate dentin sealing and immediate dentin sealing with flowable resin coating. Results It appears that immediate dentin sealing was confirmed to significantly improve the bond strength of all tested adhesives. The use of a flowable resin coating reinforcement after immediate dentin sealing increased the microtensile bond strength of all unfilled/lightly filled adhesives (from 233% of increase for ScotchBond MP, up to 560% for Clearfil SE Bond) and maintained the performance of the 3‐step golden standard adhesive. Optibond FL used with (52.51 MPa) or without (54.75 MPa) additional flowable resin coating and Clearfil SE Bond (45.64 MPa) used with flowable resin coating provided the best results. Clinical Significance The original immediate dentin sealing (IDS) technique implies the use of a filled DBA. With unfilled/lightly filled adhesives, it is suggested to reinforce IDS with an additional flowable resin coating. This seems especially paramount to the performance of simplified adhesive systems to protect the thin bonding interface from oxygen inhibition and preserve IDS layer during predelivery cleaning of the preparation. The clinical reinforcement of unfilled/lightly filled IDS with flowable resin composite is encouraged for more predictable bonding.

Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um caso clínico de reabilitação estética anterior (centrais e laterais anterossuperiores) associando facetas e coroas cerâmicas cimentadas com diferentes técnicas (cimento resinoso e resina composta aquecida) com a finalidade de reproduzir as características dos dentes naturais. Material e Métodos: Paciente A.M.A., gênero feminino, 47 anos, compareceu à clínica odontológica da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), relatando insatisfação com a estética do seu sorriso, diferenças no formato e cor de seus dentes. Ao exame clínico intrabucal verificou-se uma coroa total provisória do dente 22, e o mau posicionamento do dente 12 em relação aos adjacentes. Foi indicada cirurgia periodontal para aumento de coroa clínica, clareamento dental, duas facetas cerâmicas nos incisivos centrais e duas coroas cerâmicas nos incisivos laterais superiores. Após a cirurgia periodontal e clareamento, foi realizado o refinamento dos preparos para coroa total e preparos para faceta cerâmica. O material de escolha para as restaurações foi o dissilicato de lítio devido sua grande capacidade de mimetizar o dente natural. As coroas foram cimentadas com isolamento relativo do campo operatório e cimento resinoso dual. As facetas foram cimentadas com isolamento absoluto e resina composta aquecida. Resultados: Após 15 dias da cimentação a paciente retornou à clínica onde se observou saúde periodontal e perfeita adaptação das restaurações indiretas. Conclusão: Obteve-se excelente resultado estético associando diferentes tipos de restaurações e técnicas de cimentação adesiva e a paciente se mostrou confortável com as diferentes abordagens e satisfeita com o resultado estético do tratamento.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the stress distribution in the ceramic veneers in a full prosthetic crown with different framework after the sintering and cooling cycle through the thermal analysis by three-dimensional finite element analysis. Using images from a computerized microtomography of a central incisor, an anterior crown was constructed. The models were composed of 2mm thickness ceramics (feldspathic ceramics) and 0.4mm thickness frameworks (zirconia, alumina, lithium-disilicate, or metal). Ansys Workbench finite element software was used for analysis and mesh generation through a 5% convergence. The thermal loading was performed in 2 stages simulating the heating and cooling of the ceramic veneer sintering cycle: stage 1 -403 to 750 degrees C; stage 2 -from 750 to 25 degrees C. The von Mises equivalent strain(σvM) was used for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the framework. The maximum (σmax) and minimum (σmin) stresses were used to evaluate the ceramic veneer and zirconia, alumina, and lithium-disilicate frameworks. The highest values of compressive stress (294,58 MPa) were found in the ceramic veneer in the models with alumina framework, followed by models with zirconia (253,65 MPa), palladium silver (239,74 MPa), and lithium disilicate (205,43MPa). The tensile stresses followed the same behavior presenting the highest values in the alumina prostheses (Al: 93,977
