The use of auxiliary devices during irrigation to increase the cleaning ability of a chelating agent: Marina Carvalho Prado, Fernanda Leal, Renata Antoun Simão, Heloisa Gusman, Maíra do Prado; Restor Dent Endod 2017;42(2):105-110. Published online February 3, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5395/rde.2017.42.2.105

Objectives

This study investigated the cleaning ability of ultrasonically activated irrigation (UAI) and a novel activation system with reciprocating motion (EC, EasyClean, Easy Equipamentos Odontológicos) when used with a relatively new chelating agent (QMix, Dentsply). In addition, the effect of QMix solution when used for a shorter (1 minute) and a longer application time (3 minutes) was investigated.

Materials and Methods

Fifty permanent human teeth were prepared with K3 rotary system and 6% sodium hypochlorite. Samples were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 10) according to the final irrigation protocol: G1, negative control (distilled water); G2, positive control (QMix 1 minute); G3, QMix 1 minute/UAI; G4, QMix 1 minute/EC; G5, QMix 3 minutes. Subsequently the teeth were prepared and three photomicrographs were obtained in each root third of root walls, by scanning electron microscopy. Two blinded and pre-calibrated examiners evaluated the images using a four-category scoring system. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (p < 0.05).

Results

There were differences among groups (p < 0.05). UAI showed better cleaning ability than EC (p < 0.05). There were improvements when QMix was used with auxiliary devices in comparison with conventional irrigation (p < 0.05). Conventional irrigation for 3 minutes presented significantly better results than its use for 1 minute (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

QMix should be used for 1 minute when it is used with UAI, since this final irrigation protocol showed the best performance and also allowed clinical optimization of this procedure.

The effects of non-thermal plasma and conventional treatments on the bond strength of fiber posts to resin cement: Maíra do Prado, Eduardo Moreira da Silva, Juliana das Neves Marques, Caroline Brum Gonzalez, Renata Antoun Simão; Restor Dent Endod 2017;42(2):125-133.

Objectives

This study compared the effect of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and ammonia (NH₃) plasmas on the bond strength of resin cement to fiber posts with conventional treatments.

Materials and Methods

Sixty-five fiber posts were divided into 5 groups: Control (no surface treatment); H₂O₂ (24% hydrogen peroxide for 1 min); Blasting (blasting with aluminum oxide for 30 sec); NH₃ (NH₃ plasma treatment for 3 min); HMDSO (HMDSO plasma treatment for 15 min). After the treatments, the Ambar adhesive (FGM Dental Products) was applied to the post surface (n = 10). The fiber post was inserted into a silicon matrix that was filled with the conventional resin cement Allcem Core (FGM). Afterwards, the post/cement specimens were cut into discs and subjected to a push-out bond strength (POBS) test. Additionally, 3 posts in each group were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. The POBS data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and the Tukey's honest significant difference post hoc test (α = 0.05).

Results

The Blasting and NH₃ groups showed the highest POBS values. The HMDSO group showed intermediate POBS values, whereas the Control and H₂O₂ groups showed the lowest POBS values.

Conclusion

Blasting and NH₃ plasma treatments were associated with stronger bonding of the conventional resin cement Allcem to fiber posts, in a procedure in which the Ambar adhesive was used.
