Avaliação clínica do uso do oxalato de potássio em restaurações de lesões cervicais não-cariosas

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluated the efficiency of the use of potassium oxalate (BisBlock - Bisco) in restorations of non-carious cervical lesions. Twenty volunteers patients of both sexes, aged between twenty-four and fifty-five years old, with at least two lesions that were restored with the techniques to be evaluated were selected. Ninety teeth were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1- Restoration with total-etch technique and Group 2 – Restoration with pre-treatment with potassium oxalate followed by application of adhesive system. The adhesive restorative system used was XP Bond (Dentisply) - Durafill (Kulzer). The clinical evaluation was employed USPHS modified method, taking into account the following criteria: retention (R), marginal integrity (MI), marginal discoloration (MD), postoperative sensitivity (S), caries (C), anatomic form (AF). Clinical assessments were conducted by two examiners in the periods baseline, 6 months and 1 year. The intensity of pain sensitivity was assessed before and after treatment using a verbal rating scale. After one year the results of restorations clinically satisfactory (Alfa and Bravo) obtained for the control and experimental group were: R (97% / 89%), MI (100% / 100%), MD (100% / 100%), S (100% / 100%), C (100% / 100%), FA (100% / 100%). The results were analyzed statistically with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests for levels of sensitivity and the Fisher exact test for the other criteria with a significance level of 5% (p <0.05). Based on statistical analysis, we conclude that the use of potassium oxalate as an agent of dentin pre-treatment did not influence the clinical performance of restorations in non-carious cervical lesions after one year.
