Dissertação (Mestrado em Odontologia) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2014.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/6235The aim of this study was to characterize the mechanical properties (Flexural strength, Diametral tensile strength, Knoop hardness, Young`s modulus, and Poisson's ratio) of a new experimental composite reinforced with glass fiber, and evaluate the fracture resistance and failure mode of bovine roots post-restored with a new experimental composite produce in direct or indirect (laboratory) mode and compare them with prefabricated fiber glass posts. Experimental composite specimens (22.5% resin, 30% 3mm-short silanized glass fibers, and 47.5% of filler particles) were prepared and tested in a universal testing machine according to the particular methodology of each test, scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed on samples fractured in bending test. Thirty endodontically treated bovine roots were divided into 3 groups (n = 10): PFP: prefabricated fiber glass posts EXP-DIR: posts made of experimental material directly polymerised into the root canal EXP-IND: posts made of experimental material indirectly polymerised. Specimens were subjected to compression load (0.5 mm/min), maximum load recorded in Newton, and fracture ranked as the failure mode. Descriptive analyzes showed averages: 259.91 ± 26.01 MPa (Flexural strength); 31.05 ± 2.97 MPa (Diametral Tensile strength); 135.6 ± 24.8 KHN (Knoop Hardness), 5.6 ± 0.95 GPa (Young`s modulus), 0.34 ± 0.02 (Poisson's ratio). ANOVA and Tukey analyzes showed statistical difference for fracture resistance (p <0.05): PFP (620.72 ± 59.29)A, EXP-IND (506.54 ± 27.07)B, EXP-DIR (157.76 ± 32.34)C. The developed composite showed appropriate mechanical properties and feasibility for production of intracanal posts, however dependent on the method of production, being the indirect method the best.application/pdfAcesso AbertoCompósito reforçado com fibraPropriedades mecânicasPinos de fibra de vidroFiber reinforced compositeMechanical propertiesGlass fiber postCIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ODONTOLOGIADissertação
