RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, some properties (wear and roughness) of glass ionomers ciment that could influence its indication as pit and fissures sealants. Simultaneously it was evaluated the abrasion of two dentifrices (Tandy and Sorriso) and its influence on the roughness surface. The materials used were Fuji Plus (luting cement), Ketac-molar and Vitremer (both restorative cements). This last material was prepared in two proportions: one in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (1:1) and the other in a diluted form (1/4:1). The resin-based sealant, Delton, chemically activated, was used as control. Using an electronic analytical balance, wear was measured by the level of loss weight, in 12 specimens groups for each material and for each dentifrice, after submitting then to the toothbrushing test. The superficial roughness was determined by a quantitative analysis of the specimens surface, after toothbrushing test, using a rugometer apparatus. The results were analyzed by the two-ways ANOVA criterion and the Tukey test at p <0.05. The two dentifrices abrasivity were similar for the five groups tested. Compared with the other materials, diluted Vitremer and Fuji Plus resisted less to tooth brushing abrasion. The resulting roughness in the diluted Vitremer and Fuji Plus groups, tooth brushed with Sorriso, were greater as compared to Tandy, while in the other groups the action of the dentifrices were similar. The material that had the most increase on superficial roughness was diluted Vitremer, the others presented estatistical equivalent results, except for Fuji Plus, that showed the second greatest roughness when submitted to dentifrice Sorriso. Though In clinical situations the material often used as an alternative for resin-based sealants are the luting or diluted cements, the results of the study “in vitro” showed that these kind of cements have worse properties than the restorative ionomers which revealed similar results when compared to the evaluated resin sealant.
