Estudo in vitro da microabrasão de resinas compostas, amálgama, esmalte dentário humano e bovino

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance the microabrasion of composed resins, amalgam, human and bovine dental enamel. A microabrasion apparel was used (Calowear Tester) whose main characteristic is to evaluate the wear of the surface of the materials. Being the abrasive wear a process of multiple risks, the resistance to the wear can be intimately related to the resistance to the risk. Like this, of ownership of the resistances the microabrasion was possible compare them the resistances to the wear of the standard minerals of the scale of hardness Mohs. Seven universal resins were used (Charisma, Esthet X, Filtek Supreme, Filtek Z250, Herculite XRV, Tetric Ceram and Z100), two universal resins compacted (Filtek P60 and Surefil) and two laboratory resins (ArtGlass and Cristobal); an amalgam with high copper tenor (GS80); third ten human molars and ten incisive bovine. After the preparation of the samples, they were submitted to the microabrasion test with application of load of 0,16 N tends aqueous dispersion of alumina as abrasive for 1 minute. This process generated impressions that were measured being used an image analyzer. Of ownership of these measured the Analysis of Variance was applied for p <0,05 and test of Tukey. The results showed different resistance levels the microabrasion for the rehearsed materials what allowed classify them orderly in agreement with his/her resistance the microabrasion. The human enamel obtained the smallest wear. Among the restoring materials the amalgam and Filtek Supreme presented larger resistance to the wear. In relation to hardness Mohs the dental enamels and the amalgam presented hardness Mohs 5 (Apatite) while the resins composed hardness Mohs 4 (Fluorite). The results showed that the evaluation of the resistance the microabrasion of the materials compared the resistance to the wear of the standard minerals of the scale of hardness Mohs, it can contribute to an effective classification of those materials being used of measured no subjective.
