Avaliação da influência da associação de diferentes métodos de envelhecimento na resistência de união de reparos em resina composta

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of different aging methods on bond strength values of composite repair, through the use of shear test. 96 samples of rectangular section were made with the microhybrid composite Point 4 (Kerr) and were divided into 8 groups (n = 12) as follows: (1) immersion in distilled water for 7 days; (2) immersion in distilled water for 30 days; (3) immersion in citric acid for 7 days; (4) immersion in boiling water for 8 hours; (5) immersion in distilled water for 30 days plus immersion in citric acid for 7 days; (6) immersion in distilled water for 30 days plus immersion in boiling water for 8 hours; (7) immersion in citric acid for 7 days plus immersion in boiling water for 8 hours and (8) immersion in distilled water for 30 days plus immersion in citric acid for 7 days plus immersion in boiling water for 8 hours. After going through the designated method of aging the treatment of prerepair was conducted with roughening the surface with sandpaper grain silicon carbide 120 and application of the adhesive system Single Bond 2 (3MESPE) and then made a repair with the same composite resin. The samples were tested in a universal testing machine (EMIC) for the shear bond strength test at a loading speed of 1mm / min. After the failure all samples were evaluated in an increase of 35x stereomicroscope and two samples from each group were evaluated in the SEM as surface after aging and after roughening with sandpaper silicon carbide. The results for evaluation of values in the bond strength test were subjected to statistical test analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey test (p <0.05) and no significant differences between the groups tested were found. The evaluation of failure occurred in stereomicroscope were made in a descriptive way, with all samples of all groups presented cohesive failures in the aged resin. Conclusion: The association of different aging methods does not influence the bond strength values of resin repairs made when the roughening method simulating diamond burs coarse-grained is used pre-repair.
