The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in the retentive forces of four different titanium-based implant attachment systems during the simulation of insert–removal cycles in an artificial oral environment. Five types of titanium-based dental implant attachment systems (Locator, Kerator, O-ring, EZ-Lock, and Magnetic) were studied (n = 10). The specimens underwent insert–removal cycles in artificial saliva, and the retentive force was measured following 0, 750, 1500, and 2250 cycles. Significant retention loss was observed in all attachment systems, except the magnetic attachments, upon completion of 2250 insertion and removal cycles, compared to the initial retentive force (p < 0.05). A comparison of the initial retentive forces revealed the highest value for Locator, followed by the Kerator, O-ring, EZ-Lock, and Magnetic attachments. Furthermore, Kerator demonstrated the highest retentive loss, followed by Locator, O-ring, EZ-Lock, and Magnetic attachments after 2250 cycles (p < 0.05). In addition, the Locator and Kerator systems revealed significant decrease in retentive forces at all measurement points (p < 0.05). The retention force according to the insert–removal cycles were significantly different according to the types of dental implant attachment systems.

SUMMARY Resin-based materials that show promising effects for preventing the progression of erosion have been studied. This in vitro study evaluated the effects of applying resin-based materials, including resin infiltration, on previously eroded enamel subjected to erosive challenges. The influence of enamel surface etching prior to application of the material was also studied. Bovine enamel blocks were immersed in hydrochloric acid (HCl), 0.01 M (pH 2.3), for 30 seconds in order to form a softened erosion lesion. The blocks were then randomly divided into nine groups (n=12) and treated as follows: C = control without treatment; Hel = pit & fissure resin sealant (Helioseal Clear); Adh = two-step self-etching adhesive system (AdheSe); Tet = two-step conventional adhesive system (Tetric N-bond); and Inf = infiltrant (Icon). The Helno, Adhno, Tetno, and Infno groups received the same materials without (or with no) surface conditioning. The depth of the material's penetration into softened erosion lesions was qualitatively analyzed using reflection and fluorescence confocal microscopy. After application of the materials, the blocks were immersed in HCl for two minutes; this step was followed by immersion in artificial saliva for 120 minutes four times a day for five days (erosive cycling). Both the enamel alteration and material thickness were analyzed using profilometry, and the results were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (p&gt;0.05). Images from the confocal microscopy showed minimal penetration of Adh/Adhno and deep penetration of Inf/Infno into the erosive lesions. The groups Hel, Adh, Inf, Tetno, and Infno resulted in the formation of a layer of material over the enamel, which was effective in inhibiting the progression of erosion. In conclusion, the infiltrant, with or without etching, was able to penetrate and protect the enamel against dental erosion. The other resin-based materials, except for the two-step conventional adhesive, were able to penetrate and inhibit the progression of erosive lesions only when they were applied after enamel etching.

The retention force of cemented crowns on implant abutments with various luting materials was evaluated. Cobalt–chromium crowns were cemented onto tapered titanium abutments (Camlog) with eugenol-free temporary cement (RelyX TempBond NE), composite-based temporary cement (Bifix Temp), zinc phosphate cement (Harvard Cement), glass-ionomer cements (Meron, Fuji I), and resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (Fuji II, Fuji Plus, Ketac Cem Plus). Specimen aging via hydrostress was performed in artificial saliva at 37 °C for 14 days (S1), followed by hydrothermal stress with thermocycling (S2). The crowns were removed, and the force was recorded (T1). Subsequently, the crowns were recemented, aged, and removed, and the force was recorded (T2, T3). The retention forces differences were statistically significant according to the storage conditions at T1 (p = 0.002) and T3 (p = 0.0002). After aging (S1), Ketac Cem Plus had the highest retention force median value difference (T3 versus T1) (−773 N), whereas RelyX TempBond NE had the lowest (−146 N). After aging (S2), Meron had the highest retention force median value difference (−783 N), whereas RelyX TempBond NE had the lowest (−168 N). Recementation decreased the retention force of the implant-supported cobalt–chromium crowns cemented and recemented with the same luting materials. Luting materials (at T1) and aging conditions significantly impacted the retention force.

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of pullout location and clasp types in two different environments to dislodge the clasp. Materials and Methods: Mandibular test models with natural premolars and molar teeth were used to test four types of clasp (each 12) (Akers, Rest plate Akers, Half and Half, and Ring clasp) with three different pullout location for each type (ring on the rest, loop on the saddle, and wax arising from both rests) in dry and natural fresh saliva environment. Each clasp was pulled out 10 times with a crosshead speed of 10 mm/min, and the force required to withdraw each was measured. Statistical Analysis Used: A one-way ANOVA and Tukey test were used. Results: The ring on the saddle pullout location has the highest retention force while ring on the rest was the lowest. In addition, ring clasp has the highest retention force. Conclusion: Clasp type and pullout location had a significant effect on the retentive force.

O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em comparar a degradação de força de cinco cores diferentes de elásticos corrente, a fim de buscar parâmetros clínicos para o uso desses elásticos nas terapias ortodônticas. Foram avaliados 10 segmentos com 6 elos de elásticos corrente de força média da marca Morelli, das cores preto, cinza, azul, rosa e transparente, provenientes de embalagens seladas e dentro do prazo de validade. Os elásticos foram distendidos até o dobro de seu comprimento e mantidos por dispositivos simples com duas pontas de metal, simulando o uso contínuo dos elásticos por parte dos pacientes. Esses dispositivos foram submersos em saliva artificial a 370C dentro de recipientes mantidos em estufa.  As forças dos segmentos de elásticos foram mensuradas com um dinamômetro ortodôntico de precisão ao início e nos intervalos de 1, 7,14, 21 e 30 dias após a imersão, e a média de força para cada grupo e tempo foi calculada. A Análise de variância (ANOVA) a dois critérios (tempo e grupos) e o teste de Tukey foram utilizados para a análise dos dados. Em todos os testes estatísticos foi adotado um nível de significância de 5%. Todas as cores de elásticos degradaram com o tempo, sendo a porcentagem média de degradação após 1 dia de 40,4%; 7 dias 48,2%; 14 dias 56,8%; 21 dias 65% e 81% após 30 dias. Entretanto, há diferença de degradação de força entre as cores dos elásticos. Os elásticos Transparente e Azul apresentaram menor degradação da força, sendo que após 30 dias o elástico Transparente se mostrou mais efetivo, seguido do Azul, Cinza, Preto e Rosa. Mesmo com a diferença na degradação de força entre as cores dos elásticos, esses dados não apresentam relevância clínica se utilizados por até 14 dias, após esse período seria melhor a utilização do elástico Transparente.   Palavras-chave: Ortodontia. Látex. Elasticidade   Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the force degradation of five different colors of elastomeric chains, in order to achieve clinical parameters for the use of these elastics in orthodontic therapies. The sample was composed by 10 segments with 6 links (medium force) for each color of elastomeric chain (Morelli); black, gray, blue, pink and transparent, from sealed packages and within the expiration date. The elastics were stretched twice their length and maintained by simple devices with two metal tips, simulating the continuous use of the elastics by the patients. These devices were submerged in artificial saliva at 370C to simulate the oral environment. The  elastic segments strengths were measured with a precision orthodontic dynamometer at the beginning and at intervals of 1, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days after immersion, and the mean strength for each group and time was calculated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with two criteria (time and groups) and the Tukey test were used for data analysis. In all statistical tests, a significance level of 5% was adopted. All the  elastics colors degraded over time, with the average  degradation percentage after 1 day being 40.4%; 7 days 48.2%; 14 days 56.8%; 21 days 65% and 81% after 30 days. However, there is a difference in force degradation among the  elastics colors. The Transparent and Blue elastics showed less force degradation, and after 30 days the Transparent elastic was more effective, followed by Blue, Gray, Black and Pink. Even with the difference in force degradation among the  elastics colors, these data are not clinically relevant they are used for up to 14 days, after that period it would be better to use the Transparent elastic.   Keywords: Orthodontics.

ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the importance of attachment types on the retention loss of extracoronal attachment-retained removable partial dentures depending on the usage period. Materials and methods In order to observe the retention loss of 5 different attachments (OT Strategy, OT Strategy-metal protected, Vario-stud-snap and Vario-soft 3 and ERA-RV) over time, attachment-retained partial dentures representing Kennedy II mod. I case were placed in a custom-made, retention test machine. For each minute, eight separating and joining movements were performed and retention values (Newton) of the attachments were recorded by computer. The retention tests implemented in 540,1080 and 2160 cycles. The data were evaluated statistically according to the two-way ANOVA and Tukey parametrical tests. Results The slide type attachment providing the best retention force was observed to be the most worn out by this process (p < 0.01) while the ball type attachments, which typically have the lesser retention force, showed less retention loss (p < 0.01). Conclusion It can be concluded that the retention attributes of the attachment-retained dentures were affected by the specific type of precision attachment as well as the usage period. Clinical significance Precision attachments with ball-type plastic matrices may be recommended for the clinical use due to their retention stability over time.

BACKGROUND Orthodontic metallic appliances in the oral cavity are constantly in contact with biological fluids or tissues thereby releasing particulate masses. They can be common causes of contact allergies and should be considered as a critical issue in determining properties of biomaterials. Nickel ions in various forms and compounds have been known to cause carcinogenic, mutagenic, cytotoxic and allergenic reactions. Pattern of metal ions released from different stainless steel orthodontic appliances in vitro could provide valuable information to consider their application in clinical scenarios. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate metal ions released under different ph levels, immersion period time and using different archwire orthodontic appliances. METHODS Orthodontic appliances were constructed consisting of five brackets from central incisor to the second premolar, a buccal tube welded molar band and an archwire that were used as samples. Total of twelve appliances were constructed; using stainless steel, Ni - Ti, and Thermal Ni - Ti wires (N = 4 each). Half of these samples were immersed in artificial saliva at pH 3.5 and the other half were immersed in artificial saliva at pH 6.75. The samples were stored in an incubator at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. Saliva samples from these bottles were collected at the end of 1, 7, 14 and 28 days and subjected to spectrophotometric analysis for estimation of nickel content. RESULTS Nickel release was maximum during the first week of immersion from orthodontic appliances comprising of Ni - Ti wires compared to Stainless steel and thermal Ni - Ti. A gradual decline in the nickel release was observed in the subsequent weeks. Ion release was increased by 30 times in the acidic pH medium, as compared to neutral pH conditions. CONCLUSIONS There is a definite release of nickel ions from orthodontic appliances when exposed to oral environment; however, the amounts are much lower than the daily dietary intake and don’t pose risk of toxicity. Care should be taken in patients with nickel hypersensitivity and wires such as beta - titanium or epoxy coated wires can be substituted. As there is an increase in ion release under acidic conditions the patients need to maintain hygienic oral environment thereby limiting corrosion of appliances.

Objective: To determine the retentive force of three glass-ionomer luting cements used with prefabricated primary zirconium crowns (PPZCs) and to assess whether the retentive force was dependent on cementation material or different PPZCs brands. Study design: Four mandibular right second molar PPZCs were selected, one each from four manufacturers–NuSmile®ZR, Sprig Crowns, Cheng Crowns and Kinder Krowns. Silicone impressions of the outer surface of crowns were taken; stone dies prepared and reduced to fit the corresponding brand. 24 alginate impressions of each die obtained and filled with core buildup flowable composite. 96 composite tooth-replicas thus achieved were divided into four groups and further categorized into three subgroups of eight samples based on luting cements used – BioCem, FujiCEM®2 and KetacCem. Samples were thermocycled, placed in artificial saliva for one week followed by assessment of retentive force for crown dislodgment and failure mode. Results: Data was statistically evaluated using two-way ANOVA, HSD (P &lt;0.05). KetacCem had the lowest retentive force while BioCem showed comparatively higher value to FujiCEM®2. Adhesive failure modes were predominant with cement mainly adhering to crown’s internal surface. Conclusions: Resin-based GI cements offered superior retention than conventional GI cements for PPZCs and retentive force was dependent on cement type.

Introduction/Objective. Recently, new materials for double crowns have been introduced, such as zirconia and polyether ether ketone (PEEK). However, some characteristics of these materials, such as retentive force and duration of ?settling in phase,? have not been investigated sufficiently. During the ?settling in phase,? telescopic overdenture has not yet achieved its definitive retention force, and it can be harmful for periodontal tissue if the value is above optimal for a long period of time. The objective was to measure the in vitro overall pull-off force of telescopic crowns where primary crowns were made from zirconia ceramics and a survey of the ?settling in phase? duration. Methods. Forty zirconia primary telescopic crowns were produced on prepared canine teeth. Twenty secondary crowns were of PEEK and other 20 of zirconia with electroplated gold copings. The pull-off force measurements were conducted utilizing a dynamometer until a constant value was obtained. Results. The specimens of the PEEK group showed higher initial retentive force values. Settling in phase was finished between 800 and 900 cycles of separation for both groups. Comparing the value of the pull-off force between individual different cycles, a statistically significant reduction was recorded up to the 800th cycle, while between the 800th and the 900th cycle there was no difference. Conclusions. The settling in phase was finished between 800 and 900 cycles of separation in both groups. Final retentive force values for both tested telescopic groups were in the optimal range which is 5?9 N per one telescopic crown.

Alloys in oral cavity always interact with dynamic oral environment, such as pH, temperature, salivary conditions, and dietary habits. Coffee can further decrease pH in the oral cavity. Thus, coffee may increase the release of metal ions that may lead to various health diseases. This study aimed to quantitively investigate the effect of brewed Robusta coffee on the nickel ion release and their morphological structures; Methods: 20 alloy specimens were divided into 4 groups and placed in solutions for 48 and 168 h: (1) distilled water, (2) artificial saliva, (3) Robusta coffee, and (4) mixture of artificial saliva and Robusta coffee. AAS, XRF, and SEM were used for examinations; Results: The release of Ni2+ was found in all groups and robust release were found in the coffee only and mixture of coffee + artificial saliva solution after 168 h. Likewise, SEM showed that internal oxidation was high after 168 h of immersion; Conclusions: The concentration of nickel increased in saliva of low pH due to brewed coffee. Though the release of these ions is still within the tolerable amount in human body, it should be realized that it usually lasts for months or years. Dentists should be cautious when using instructions for patients with a history of allergies especially for dietary with low acidity.
