Conclusions: In conclusion, HA coating seemed to improve<br />

differentiation potential <strong>of</strong> osteoblasts but also signaling for<br />

clasts differentiation and bone remodeling.<br />

Objectives: Evaluate with a scanning electron microscope<br />

(SEM) <strong>the</strong> alterations occurring in enamel, cementum and<br />

cementum–enamel junction after <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> different external<br />

bleaching agents.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: Fifteen healthy pre-molars were<br />

sectioned in <strong>the</strong> middle with <strong>the</strong> aid <strong>of</strong> a cutting machine<br />

(Labcut 1010), in <strong>the</strong> longitudinal direction along <strong>the</strong> axis<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> teeth, obtaining mesial and distal surfaces <strong>of</strong> each<br />

tooth. The mesial surfaces were divided into three groups<br />

in accord with <strong>the</strong> material used (AI – carbamide peroxide<br />

10% – Whiteness Standard 10 FGM ® , AII – carbamide<br />

peroxide 16% Whiteness Standard 16 FGM ® , e AIII – hydrogen<br />

peroxide 35% Whiteness HP Maxx FGM ® ), applied<br />

according to <strong>the</strong> instructions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> manufacturers. The<br />

distal surfaces <strong>of</strong> each tooth were maintained in artificial<br />

saliva, in a bacteriological sterilizer at 37 ◦ C. After whitening<br />

<strong>the</strong> specimens were dehydrated in increasing solutions<br />

<strong>of</strong> acetone and metalized for evaluation using a scanning<br />

electron microscope. The results were submitted to statistical<br />

evaluation using <strong>the</strong> Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitey<br />

tests.<br />

Results: Statistically significant differences were observed<br />

between <strong>the</strong> whitened and unwhitened specimens (p < 0.001).<br />

In enamel, insignificant alterations were observed, and no differences<br />

between <strong>the</strong> groups were found. Loss <strong>of</strong> structure,<br />

with formation <strong>of</strong> gaps and dental exposure were observed in<br />

<strong>the</strong> cemento-enamel junction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three whitened groups.<br />

Conclusions: Tooth whitening should be done with<br />

caution principally in patients who possess gingival recession.<br />

Objectives: Fluoride increases <strong>the</strong> expansion and retards<br />

<strong>the</strong> setting time <strong>of</strong> F-doped calcium-silicate MTA cements.<br />

These cements may be successfully used as endodontic sealer.<br />

The assessment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> solubility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> endodontic cements<br />

dental materials 26S (2010) e1–e84 e67<br />

allows to predict <strong>the</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> material from <strong>the</strong> surgical site,<br />

where <strong>the</strong>y are in contact with physiological fluids (blood,<br />

tubular fluid). The aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> study was to evaluate <strong>the</strong> solubility<br />

in deionized water (ISO 6876) or in simulated body fluid<br />

(DMEM) <strong>of</strong> designed F-doped calcium-silicate MTA cements<br />

with increasing amount <strong>of</strong> fluoride.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: A calcium-silicate powder containing<br />

di- and tricalcium-silicate, calcium sulphate and barium<br />

sulphate was prepared. An increasing percentage <strong>of</strong> fluoride<br />

(F0%, F1%, F5% and F10%) was added to <strong>the</strong> powder<br />

to obtain 4 cements. The cements were mixed with DPBS<br />

(liquid/powder ratio 0.22), placed into a mould (10 mm diameter;<br />

2.21 mm height) and stored at 37 ◦ C and 98% relative<br />

humidity for <strong>the</strong> 75% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own setting time. Each sample<br />

(n = 5 for each cement) was weighed (initial weight, IW)<br />

and immersed in 10 mL <strong>of</strong> DMEM or deionized water keeping<br />

a vertical position. After 1 or 21 days <strong>the</strong> samples were<br />

dehydrated at 37 ◦ C and weighed (final weight, FW), <strong>the</strong>n<br />

demoulded and <strong>the</strong> moulds weighed (mould weight, MW).<br />

The percentage <strong>of</strong> weight loss (solubility) was calculated as<br />

[(IW − FW)/(IW − MW)] × 100.<br />

Results: The solubility <strong>of</strong> all cements decrease over time<br />

(from 1 to 21 days) in both soaking solutions. High F concentration<br />

increases <strong>the</strong> solubility <strong>of</strong> calcium-silicate MTA cements.<br />

The solubility in DMEM is lower than in water for all <strong>the</strong><br />

cements; this difference is more evident at 21 days.<br />

Conclusions: The innovative MTA cement containing 1% <strong>of</strong><br />

fluoride represents an interesting material for <strong>the</strong> endodontic<br />

surgery. The presence simulated body fluid solutions lows<br />

<strong>the</strong> solubility rate <strong>of</strong> endodontic MTA cements suggesting a<br />

reduced solubility in in vivo conditions.<br />
