We reviewed studies wherein the cutting of dental tissues, simulating interactions that would occur under clinical circumstances in the mouth, have been observed directly-first by real time, video rate, stereoscopic, three-dimensional scanning electron microscopy; and second and more conveniently, by video rate confocal optical microscopy. We have observed, directly, both the interactions of slow-moving cutting instruments emulating "chisels" and high-speed events, including the effects of rotary burs and air-propelled abrasive particles and soft powder slurries. The observational data contribute to our basic understanding of the functional behavior of dental tissues and formed a useful background for the practitioner of operative dentistry.

Coating Agents for Resin Composites: Effect on Color Stability, Roughness, and Surface Micromorphology Subjected to Brushing Wear.

*Roberta Tarkany Basting, DDS, MSc, PhD, Professor, Restorative Dentistry Department, Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic, São Paulo, Brazil.
This study evaluated the influence of six resin composite coating agents on color stability and surface roughness after toothbrushing abrasion. Discs (Ø6 mm x 2 mm) of nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Z350XT) were prepared for application of coating agents (n=10): control (absence), two surface sealants (PermaSeal and BisCover LV), two adhesive systems (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive/3M Oral Care and Single Bond Universal), and two modeling liquids (Modeling Resin and Composite Wetting Resin). CIELab*, WID, and color change (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID) were analyzed at baseline, after finishing and polishing, after application of coating agents, after coffee staining (simulating 30 days and one year of staining), and after toothbrushing abrasion.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of chairside computer assisted design and computer assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate partial and full-coverage crowns and veneers for maxillary canines.
Methods And Materials: Forty-eight restorations for maxillary right canines (12 per group) were designed as follows: (1) partial crown with finish line in the upper middle third; (2) partial crown with finish line in the lower middle third; (3) traditional labial veneer; and (4) traditional full-coverage crown. Restorations were fabricated out of lithium disilicate (Amber Mill, Hassbio) using a chairside CAD-CAM system (Cerec Dentsply Sirona).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the optical, mechanical, and biological properties of two new, inexpensive lithium disilicate (LS2) materials (Lodden (LOD), LD Medical Technology; and BeautyZir (BZ), BeautyZir Technology) to a clinically established LS2 material (IPS e.max CAD (EMAX), Ivoclar Vivadent).
Methods And Materials: The optical properties of the translucency parameter (TP) and opalescence parameter (OP) were obtained with a dental spectrophotometer.
