Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da velocidade de deslocamento na resistência à fratura por fadiga de instrumentos rotatórios de níquel-titânio por meio de ensaio dinâmico de flexão. Foram avaliados instrumentos S1, S2, F1, F2 e F3 pertencentes ao Sistema ProTaper Universal (Dentsply/Maillefer) sendo 20 de cada número num total de 100 instrumentos, que foram divididos em dois grupos. Todos os instrumentos foram submetidos a ensaio de flexão por meio de um dispositivo elaborado especificamente para este estudo. O aparato para teste foi composto por um canal artificial curvo, fabricado em aço inoxidável temperado e que apresentava 5mm de raio e ângulo de curvatura de 45º. Um motor elétrico X-Smart (Dentsply/Maillefer) com um contra-ângulo com redução de 16:1 foi regulado para trabalhar à uma velocidade constante de rotação de 300rpm e com um torque de 2 N.cm. A este contraângulo foram acoplados os instrumentos ProTaper Universal que foram introduzidos no canal artificial e ali giraram livremente até sua fratura. O aparato regulava a velocidade de deslocamento axial do canal artificial para frente e para trás, na direção dos instrumentos, simulando a entrada e saída dos instrumentos no canal radicular. Foram utilizadas duas velocidades de deslocamento do canal simulado, sendo que os instrumentos do Grupo I foram submetidos à uma velocidade mais lenta (146 deslocamentos por minuto) e no Grupo II a velocidade foi mais rápida (189/min). O tempo até a fratura foi registrado por um cronômetro e, a partir daí, encontrou-se o número de rotações para fratura. A comparação do número médio de ciclos até a fratura foi realizada por meio do teste t de Student para amostras independentes. Os resultados mostraram que ocorreu diferença estatisticamente significante do número médio de ciclos até a fratura apenas para o instrumento F3 (p=0,025)...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength under fatigue load of Nickel-Titanium rotatory endodontic instruments by means of a dynamic flexure strength test. The S1, S2, F1, F2 and F3 instruments from the ProTaper Universal System (Dentisply/Maillerfer) were evaluated. Twenty samples of each instrument, totalizing 100 samples, were divided in two groups. All instruments were submitted to the flexure strength test using a device specially developed for this study. The device was composed by a 45º sloped artificial root canal, made with tempered stainless steel, with radius of 5mm. An X-Smart (Dentisply/Maillefer) electric engine that had a contra-angle with rotatory reduction of 16:1 was stated to work with a constant speed of 300rpm and with a torque of 2N.cm. Each ProTaper Universal Instrument was individually attached to the contra-angle and then introduced into the artificial root canal where they rotate freely until failure. The test apparatus also has a potentiometer that was responsible to regulate the axial dislodgment speed of the artificial root canal forward and backward, against instruments direction, simulating the inward and the outward movement of the instruments into the real root canal. Two displacements speeds of the simulated root canal were used, so that the instruments in Group I were submitted to the slower speed (146 displacements per minute – d/min) and in Group 2 to the faster speed (189d/min). The time elapsed until failure of the instruments was chronometrically measured and registered; then, the number of rotations was calculated from this measurement. The comparison between the mean numbers of cycles until failure was done by the T-Student test. The results of this study showed statistically significant differences in the mean number of cycles until failure only for the F3 instrument (p=0.025). In Group I it was found about 201 fewer cycles... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
