Aim To evaluate the resistance of the union between a glass fiber post and radicular dentine after cleaning the root with 17% EDTA and filling with different endodontic cements. Methods Forty uniradicular bovine incisors were removed to obtain root lengths of 18 mm. Endodontic treatment was performed on all roots using different filling cements (zinc oxide and eugenol-based, OZE; cement based on epoxy resin, AH) and cleaning solutions (saline, SA or EDTA), which made it possible to obtain four groups: OZESA, OZEEDTA, AHSA and AHEDTA. Subsequently, 12 mm of filling material was removed from the roots, and they were prepared to receive fiber posts luted with resin cement. To execute the mechanical cycles (2x106 cycles, 90 N, 4 Hz), coronal reconstruction was performed with a silicon matrix. The roots were then sliced (2-mm thick) to perform the push-out test. The results were analyzed using analysis of variance (one factor and two factors) and Tukey’s test (α=0,05). Results Bond strength (Mpa) was significantly higher for OZEEDTA (9,18) and AHEDTA (8,70) than for OZESA (6,06) AHSA (8,7). OZEEDTA also presented the highest values in the cervical region (15,18) but was significantly lower in the apical region (2,99). However, AHEDTA had a homogeneous bond strength in all thirds. Conclusion Regardless of the endodontic cement used, EDTA was used as an irrigating solution, culminating in a higher bond strength between the glass fiber post and dentin.

RESUMO O surto de COVID-19 pode causar grandes impactos nas ciências relacionadas a odontologia. Notavelmente, pode-se esperar que os fatores associados à pandemia possam levar a um maior risco de desenvolver, agravar e perpetuar a DTM e seus fatores associados. Esta revisão não sistemática da literatura tem como objetivo discutir como a pandemia de COVID-19 pode influenciar no surgimento, manutenção ou agravamento da DTM em todo o mundo. Durante as epidemias: o número de pessoas cuja saúde mental é afetada tende a ser maior do que o número afetado pela infecção, e o medo aumenta os níveis de ansiedade e estresse em indivíduos saudáveis; pacientes com dor crônica provavelmente não recebem tratamentos importantes; o uso excessivo de medicamentos torna-se frequente; há manifestação de hábitos parafuncionais orais inconscientes e má qualidade do sono. Todos esses fatos representam fatores de risco comuns à DTM. O dentista deve estar atento a essas questões e adaptar sua prática para diagnosticar e tratar adequadamente esses pacientes dentro de uma abordagem multifatorial, aumentando a qualidade de vida desses indivíduos.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 outbreak may lead to major impacts in applied oral sciences. Remarkably, it could be expected that factors associated to pandemic may lead to a greater risk of developing, worsening and perpetuating TMD and its associated risk factors. This non systematic literature review aims to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic can influence the emergence, maintenance or worsening of TMD worldwide. During epidemics: the number of people whose mental health is affected tends to be greater than the number affected by the infection, and fear increases anxiety and stress levels in healthy individuals; chronic pain patients probably not receipt important treatments; overuse of medications becomes frequent; there are manifestation of unconscious oral parafunctional habits and poor sleep quality. All these facts represent risk factors common to TMD. Dentists should be aware of these issues and adapt their practices to properly diagnose and treat these patients within a multifactorial approach, increasing the quality of life of these individuals.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a influência do tratamento térmico do silano na resistência de união entre dois cimentos resinosos e uma cerâmica feldspática CAD/CAM. Métodos Quarenta blocos cerâmicos foram duplicados em resina micro-híbrida. Todas as cerâmicas foram condicionadas com ácido fluorídrico 10% por 20 s e receberam aplicação do silano. Os blocos foram randomizados em oito grupos (n = 5): P-Panavia F; PAg- Panavia F + Envelhecimento; HP-Tratamento térmico + Panavia F;HPAg-Tratamento térmico + Panavia F + Envelhecimento; R-RelyX ARC; RAg-RelyX ARC; HR-Tratamento térmico + RelyX ARC; HRAg - Tratamento térmico + RelyX ARC + Envelhecimento. O tratamento térmico foi realizado em forno a 100 °C durante2 min. Todos os blocos foram cimentados e cortados para obter amostras para microtração. Foram feitos 10000 ciclos térmicos. As amostras foram submetidas a teste de micro-tração. Resultados O teste ANOVA revelou uma interação significativa entre cimento/tratamento térmico (p=0,001) e tratamento térmico/ciclo térmico (p=0,001). Conclusão Dessa maneira, o tratamentotérmico do silano a 100ºC por 2 minutos foi capaz de aumentar a resistência de união entre o cimento resinoso e uma cerâmica feldspática mesmo após o envelhecimento.

ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate the influence of silane heat treatment in bond durability between two resin cements and CAD/CAM feldspathic ceramic. Methods 40 feldspathic ceramic blocks were obtained, and were duplicated in microhybrid composite. All ceramic blocks were etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid for 20 s and received application of silane agent. The blocks were randomizedinto eight groups (n=5) according to the surface treatments and luting agents: P- Panavia F; PAg- Panavia F + Aging; HP- Heat Treatment + Panavia F; HPAg- Heat Treatment + Panavia F + Aging; R- RelyX ARC; Rag- RelyX ARC + Aging; HR- Heat Treatment + RelyX ARC; HRAg- Heat Treatment + RelyX ARC + Aging. The heat treatment was performed in furnace at 100 °C for 2 min. All blocks were cemented and cut to obtain samples with adhesive area of 1 mm2. Aging was performed with 10000 thermal cycles. The samples were subjected to microtensile bond strength test. Results The three-way ANOVA test revealed a significant interaction between cement versus heat treatment (p=0.001) and heat treatment versus thermal cycling (p=0.001) indicating that there was a change in bond strength due to surface treatment and aging. Conclusion Therefore, the heat treatment of the silane at 100 ºC for 2 minutes obtained higher values of bond strength between the resin cement and a feldspathic ceramicafter aging.

Resumo Muitos profissionais da Psicologia no Brasil ainda consideram a homossexualidade um transtorno mental ou um desvio daquilo que se consideraria, apesar da ausência de evidências empíricas e dos aspectos bioéticos implicados nestes julgamentos. De acordo com a literatura, esses profissionais frequentemente praticam intervenções que visam mudar ou reparar a homossexualidade. Este estudo buscou avaliar as atitudes corretivas (AC) dos profissionais da Psicologia em relação a pacientes lésbicas, gays e bissexuais (LGB), através de um questionário online. A análise mostrou que 29,48% dos(as) profissionais exibem AC quando solicitado pelo(a) paciente, e 12,43% quando não. Além disso, elas estão mais frequentemente presentes em psicoterapeutas cognitivo/comportamentais e familiares/sistêmicos. As análises de regressão demonstraram que os preditores mais fortes de AC foram a crença de que a homossexualidade é uma patologia; a crença de que as crianças criadas por pais/mães homossexuais (gays ou lésbicas ou bissexuais) têm maiores chances de desenvolverem problemas no desenvolvimento; a crença de que homossexualidade/bissexualidade é produto de um sentimento de que se é inadequado(a) ou incompetente nas relações heterossexuais; a crença de que existe uma causa para a homossexualidade/bissexualidade dos(as) pacientes; o gênero do(a) psicoterapeuta; e o nível de crença atual em relação a alguma religião. A aplicação adequada de intervenções com a população LGB deveria se dar por meio de aceitação e apoio, avaliação abrangente, enfrentamento ativo, apoio social e a exploração e desenvolvimento da identidade enquanto parte da diversidade sexual.

Abstract Many professionals in Psychology in Brazil still consider homosexuality a mental disorder or a deviation, despite the absence of empirical evidence and the bioethical aspects involved in these judgments. According to the literature, these professionals often practice interventions that aim to change or repair homosexuality. This study aimed to evaluate the corrective attitudes (CA) of Psychology professionals in relation to lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) patients, through an online questionnaire. The analysis showed that 29.48% of the professionals showed CA when they were asked by patients, and 12.43% when they were not. In addition, they are more often present in cognitive/behavioral and family/systemic psychotherapists. Regression analyses have demonstrated that the strongest predictors of CA were the beliefs that: homosexuality is a pathology; children raised by homosexual parents (gay or lesbian or bisexual) are more likely to develop developmental problems; homosexuality/bisexuality is the product of a feeling that one is inadequate or incompetent in heterosexual relationships; there is a cause for the homosexuality/bisexuality of patients. The genre of the psychotherapist and her/his current belief level in relation to some religion were also strong predictors. Appropriate implementation of interventions with the LGB population should take place through acceptance and support, comprehensive evaluation, active coping, social support, and the exploration and development of identity as part of sexual diversity.

Además, con mayor frecuencia están presentes en psicoterapeutas cognitivos/conductuales y familiares/sistémicos. Los análisis de regresión han demostrado que los predictores más fuertes de AC eran la creencia de que la homosexualidad es una patología; la creencia de que los niños criados por padres homosexuales (gays, lesbianas o bisexuales) tienen más probabilidades de adquirir problemas de desarrollo; la creencia de que la homosexualidad/bisexualidad es el producto de un sentimiento de que uno es inadecuado o incompetente en las relaciones heterosexuales; la creencia de que hay una causa para la homosexualidad/bisexualidad de los pacientes; el género del psicoterapeuta. y el nivel actual de creencia en relación con alguna religión. La implementación adecuada de las intervenciones con la población LGB debe realizarse a través de la aceptación y el apoyo, la evaluación integral, el afrontamiento activo, el apoyo social y la exploración y el desarrollo de la identidad como parte de la diversidad sexual.

RESUMO Este é um relato de caso de reabilitação estética anterior com facetas laminadas dos elementos 14 ao 24 confeccionadas com a cerâmica IPSE.max Ceram (Ivoclar -Vivadent), as quais substituíram facetas de resina composta insatisfatórias dos elementos 13 ao 23. Ressalta-se que o paciente possuía agenesia dos elementos 12 e 22, tornando-se necessária a reanatomização dos dentesanteriores. Inicialmente ocorreu o planejamento digital, seguido pelo enceramento diagnóstico. Foi realizado em consulta única: cirurgia periodontal pela técnica “flapless” para conquista de espaço protético; confecção dos preparos para facetas; moldagem com silicona de adição; e confecção de múltiplos provisórios em resina bisacrilica. Na consulta de cimentação, as peças foram tratadas comácido fluorídrico 5% por 20s; silanizadas com Relyxceramic primer (3M ESPE), submetidas ao tratamento térmico; e banho ultrassônico. O sistema adesivo utilizado foi o Single Bond (3M ESPE) associado ao RelyxVenner (3M ESPE). Imediatamente a cimentação foi realizado um ajuste oclusal. Após 14 dias o paciente retornou para uma nova consulta de acompanhamento, na qual foi realizada mais um ajuste oclusal, e relatou total satisfação com o tratamento realizado.

ABSTRACT This article had the objective of reporting a case of aesthetic rehabilitation with laminated facets from the 14 to the 24 teeth made with IPS E.max Ceram ceramics (Ivoclar-Vivadent), which replaced previous unsatisfactory composite resin restorations in the anterior region. The patient had agenesis of 12 and 22 teeth, making it necessary to anatomize the anterior teeth. A digital smile design was first virtually created and then followed by a diagnostic wax-up. The following was performed in a single day: periodontal surgery using the flapless technique to achieve prosthetic space; teeth preparation; an additionalsilicone impression; and multiple provisional restorations of bis-acryl composite resins were fabricated. Fourteen days later, in the second session the ceramic veneers were etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20s; they received a silane application and a silane heat treatment, then lastly an ultrasonic bath. A universal adhesive was used in combination with a light curing cement.Cementation was performed immediately following an occlusal adjustment. The patient returned for a follow-up appointment another fourteen days after the luting process, in which a further occlusal adjustment was performed, and he reported complete satisfaction with the treatment.

Resumo Introdução Apesar de ser uma das cerâmicas mais estudadas atualmente, a zircônia ainda não possui um protocolo bem definido para uma cimentação adesiva. Objetivo Avaliar a influência de diferentes tempos de condicionamento e concentrações do ácido fluorídrico (AF) na superfície da zirconia e na resistência de união entre uma cerâmica Y-TZP vitrificada e um cimento resinoso. Material e método Os tratamentos de superfície foram: jateamento com óxido de alumínio revestido com sílica (Co); aplicação de glaze + condicionamento com AF 5% por 5s (G5-5s), 10s (G5-10s) ou 20s (G5-20s); aplicação de glaze + condicionamento com AF 10% por 5s (G10-5s), 10 (G10-10s) ou 20s (G10-20s). Em seguida, cilindros de cimento (3,3 × 3,3mm) para teste de cisalhamento foram feitos em todos os espécimes. Os espécimes foram submetidos a 6000 ciclos térmicos antes do teste de adesão. As fraturas foram analisadas por estereomicroscópio. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente por Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn (5%). Amostras extra de cada grupo foram feitas para realização de perfilometria e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Resultado A resistência de união zircônia-cimento foi afetada pelos tratamentos de superfície (p = 0,001). Os grupos G10-5s (2,71 MPa) registraram os maiores valores de resistência de união, seguidos pelos Co (2,05 MPa), enquanto os grupos G5 apresentaram o menor valor de união. Falhas adesivas foram predominantes. As análises por imagem revelaram que os grupos G5 parecem ser menos rugosos quando comparados aos grupos tratados com AF 10%. A criação de poros na superfície vítrea (glaze) ocorreu apenas quando foi utilizado AF 10%. Conclusão A aplicação de camada de vidro de porcelana de baixa fusão foi capaz de superar o jateamento e obter uma maior adesão adesiva ao cimento resinoso, no entanto, somente quando foi utilizado 10% de HF por um intervalo de 5 segundos.

Abstract Introduction Despite being one of the most studied ceramics today, zirconia still does not have a well-defined adhesion protocol. Objective Evaluate the influence of different etching times and hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentrations on the zirconia surface and bond strength between a vitrified Y-TZP ceramic and a resin cement. Materials and method The zirconia surface treatments were: sandblasting with silica-coated alumina (Co); glaze application + 5% HF etching for 5s (G5-5s), 10s (G5-10s) or 20s (G5-20s); glaze application + 10% HF etching for 5s (G10-5s), 10 (G10-10s) or 20s (G10-20s) . Then, cement cylinders (3.3 × 3.3 mm) were built up for shear bond test on all specimens. The specimens were subjected to 6000 thermal cycling before the test. Fractures were analyzed by stereomicroscope. Data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn statistical tests (5%). Extra samples of each group were made to obtain profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Result Zirconia-cement bond strength was affected by the ceramic surface treatments (p = 0.001). G10-5s (2.71 MPa) recorded the highest bond strength values, followed by the Co (2.05 MPa) while G5 groups had the lowest bond value. Adhesive failure of the samples predominated. The image analysis revealed G5 groups seem to have a lower roughness when compared to groups treated by 10% HF. The creation of pores in the low-fusing porcelain glass layer surface occurred only when 10% HF was used. Conclusion The low-fusing porcelain glass layer application was able to overcome the sandblasting and obtain a greater adhesive bond to the resinous cement, however, only when 10% HF was used for an interval of 5 seconds.

Abstract To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the marginal misfit and retentive strength between Y-TZP crowns and an epoxy resin. Forty (40) epoxy resin (G10) abutments (height: 5mm, conicity: 60, finish line: large chamfer) with equal dimensions were milled and included in polyurethane to simulate the periodontal ligament. Next, 40 Y-TZP crowns (thickness: 1mm) were milled (Cerec in Lab) and randomly divided into four groups (n=10) according to the surface treatment: GS(glaze spray), GP(glaze powder/liquid), P(zirconia primer) and RS(tribochemical silica coating). The conditioned surfaces were cemented with dual self-adhesive cement, light cured and submitted to thermomechanical cycling (2x106, 100N, 4Hz, 5°/55°C). Marginal misfit was analyzed by a stereomicroscope and SEM. Retentive strength test was performed (1mm/min) until crown debonding. Glaze layer thickness was also performed to GS and GP groups. Marginal misfit data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests; one-way ANOVA and Tukey (5%) analyzed the tensile strength data. The marginal misfit of the GS (48.6±19.9μm) and GP (65.4±42.5μm) were statistically lower than the RS (96±62.9μm) and P (156±113.3μm) (p=0.001). The retentive strength of the GP (470.5±104.1N) and GS (416.8±170.2N) were similar to the P (342.1±109.7N), but statistically higher than those of the RS (208.9±110N). The GS and GP glaze layer was 11.64μm and 9.73μm respectively. Thus, glaze application promoted lower marginal discrepancy and higher retentive strength values than conventional techniques.
