Combination of Acetaminophen/Codeine Analgesics Does Not Avoid Bleaching-Induced Tooth Sensitivity: A Randomized, Triple-Blind Two-Center Clinical Trial
FM Coppla • M Rezende • E de Paula • PV Farago • AD Loguercio • S Kossatz • A Reis
Clinical Relevance: The use of an opioid analgesic drug was not capable of preventing tooth sensitivity arising from in-office dental bleaching.
Longitudinal Evaluation of Radiopacity of Resin Composites: Influence of Photoactivation and Accelerated Photoaging
AD Cruz • IAM Costa • FS Calazans • MF Aguiar • MO Barceleiro
Clinical Relevance: Radiopacity has been considered an unchangeable property with great significance for assessing the quality of a restoration by radiographic images. Any changes in this property over time, under the influence of photoactivation and photoaging, might affect radiographic diagnosis.
Effect of Chlorhexidine Treatment Prior to Fiber Post Cementation on Long-Term Resin Cement Bond Strength
M Durski • M Metz • G Crim • S Hass • R Mazur • S Vieira
Clinical Relevance: The addition of chlorhexidine application prior to adhesive cementation appears to be effective in enhancing the long-term push-out strength with glass fiber posts in all root thirds in vitro.
Fatigue Failure Load of Restored Premolars: Effect of Etching the Intaglio Surface of Ceramic Inlays With Hydrofluoric Acid at Different Concentrations
T Missau • AB Venturini • GKR Pereira • C Prochnow • LF Valandro • MP Rippe
Clinical Relevance: Etching with hydrofluoric acid at different concentrations (1%, 5%, 10%) does not affect the fatigue failure load of premolars restored with feldspar inlays (milled by a computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing system). Thus, those acids might be used for ceramic etching.
Degradation of Multimode Adhesive System Bond Strength to Artificial Caries-Affected Dentin Due to Water Storage
AC Follak • LL Miotti • TL Lenzi • RO Rocha • FZM Soares
Clinical Relevance: When using multimode adhesives on sound dentin, clinicians can choose to use either an etch-and-rinse or a self-etch strategy in terms of bond strength; however, on caries-affected dentin, bonding degradation will be greater irrespective of etching mode.
