Monomers have been synthesized to reduce the use of bisphenol A derivatives and to increase the mechanical properties of collagen and polymers in order to improve the biocompatibility and long-term performance of dental materials. A natural and renewable source of phenolic lipids is the cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), which in its technical form is composed mainly of cardanol. Cardanol presents a variety of rea...
Due to the wide scientific divergence of results among in vitro investigations about the influence of food pigmentation on teeth staining during bleaching, this study aims to evaluate in the laboratory the effectiveness of at-home bleaching using carbamide peroxide (CP), and in-office bleaching using hydrogen peroxide (HP) applied to bovine teeth exposed to açaí and guarana energy drink during the dental whiten...
Introduction: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is the most frequent congenital malformation among the anomalies of the head and neck. The orthopedic/orthodontic treatment is included in the rehabilitation of these individuals, however there is no consensus in the literature regarding the ideal time for its beginning. Objective: To verify and characterize the profile of individuals with CLP treated at a reference hosp...
Objective. The aim of this study was to synthesize, to characterize and to evaluate the effectson tubular occlusion of new monomer derived from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), alsostudying the effects of acid challenge (AC) on dentin surfaces treated with desensitizers.Methods. The intermediary cardanol-epoxy (CNE) was synthesized through epoxidation ofCNSL, followed by synthesis of cardanol-methacrylate-epoxy ...
Dentin hypersensitivity is a common health problem associated with exposed dentin surfaces, and tubular occlusion is an effective treatment strategy. In the context of the research of molecules with a long carbonic chain for the production of fine chemicals from natural and renewable sources, the cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) appears as a biomass rich in phenolic compounds. In this regard, the synthesis of a n...
