Abstract

The laser use in dentistry deserves to be explored in its potential. Some parameters have not yet been assessed for its effect on the interaction between dentin and aesthetic materials, whether direct or indirect. This study aims to assess the influence of Er:YAG laser temporal width pulse on the constituents of the adhesive interface in dentin and in Y-TZP zirconia. This project includes two different experiments due to preparation and test sample characteristics. However, the same variation factor will be tested in both - surface treatment (7 levels for each substrate - dentin and zirconia), comprising 14 experimental groups: G1 dentin (D) no irradiation; G2 (D 200mJ / 20Hz- 1) (50 in microseconds - ms); G3 (D) (1-300ms); G4 (D) (1-600ms); G5 (D 80mJ / 2Hz - 2) (50ms); G6 (D) (2-300ms); G7 (D) (2-600ms); G8 zirconia (Z) without irradiation; G9 (Z) tribochemical abrasion; G10 (Z 100mJ / 10Hz- 3) (50ms); G11 (Z) (3-100ms); G12 (Z) (3- 300ms); G13 (Z) (3- 600ms); G14 (Z) (3-1000ms). Response variables to be analyzed will be: 1) dentin - morphology by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (n=3); organic and inorganic components by means of micro-Raman spectroscopy (n=3); micromorphology of the adhesive interface by means of confocal microscopy (n=1); and bond strength (BS) per microshear assay (¼SBS) (n=11); and 2) Zirconia Y-TZP - morphology by electron microscopy of high resolution scan (SEM) (n=3), percentage of phase transformation by diffraction of x-rays (n=1), surface loss and surface roughness by optical profilometry and BS by ¼SBS (n=8). For mounting of the specimens will be used for ¼SBS a self etching system in conjunction with a composite resin in dentin and resin cement on zirconia. Quantitative data obtained will be analyzed statistically (p <0.05) and qualitative will be described in comparison. (AU)
