RESUMO

The oral cavity can be considered a hostil environment. The dental structure and the restorative materials are constantly subjected to thermal, mechanical and chemical stresses. The interplay of these factors is directly related with the longevity/stability of the restorative treatment, and also with the dental structure preservation. The effect of diet constituents on dental structure and restorative materials can be dental erosion, softening and roughening of resin-based restorations. These phenomena increase the susceptibility of tooth and material wear. This way, the objectives of this work are: (1) to evaluate the effect of long-term storage in different food-simulating media on surface roughness of resin-based materials; (2) to evaluate the effect of the association of erosive and abrasive challenges on deciduous and permanent wear; (3) to evaluate the effect of the association of corrosive and abrasive challenges on resin-based materials wear. In the first chapter, sixty specimens of different material categories (Filtek Z250, Esthet X, Filtek Flow, Dyract AP, and Vitremer) were stored in five food-simulating solutions (distilled water, lactic acid, citric acid, carbonated soft drink (Coca-Cola), and ethanol) for 6 months. The surface roughness was measured after polishing (baseline), 1 week, 1, 3, and 6 months of storage. Significant difference was observed for Esthet X specimens stored in Coca-Cola and in citric acid after 1 and 3 months, respectively; and for Dyract AP specimens stored in distilled water after 6 months. In the second chapter, deciduous and permanent flat enamel specimens (n=10) were obtained. The specimens were subjected to the wear test (100,000 cycles at 1.9 Hz) in neutral (water) or acidic (citric acid) media. Specimens were profiled before and after the wear test using the MTS 3D Profiler. Volume loss and maximum depth were quantified by the Ansur 3D software. Deciduous enamel showed more wear than permanent enamel, regardless the media. The acidic media produced more wear than the neutral media (p<0.05). Significant difference was observed between neutral and acidic conditions only for deciduous enamel. In the third chapter, ten specimens were produced from each material [Filtek Supreme (S), Point 4 (P), Dyract AP (D), and Fuji II LC (F)]. The specimens were submitted to the wear test (100,000 cycles at 1.9 Hz) in neutral (water) and acidic (citric acid) media. Specimens were profiled before and after the wear test using the MTS 3D Profiler. Volume loss and maximum depth were quantified by the Ansur 3D software. Significant differences were observed for the material wear (S=P
