SUMMARY Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of five different polishing systems on a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network restoration with nanoscale assessment using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and visual assessment performed by dental school senior students and faculty members. Method: Forty-eight full coverage crowns were milled out of polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network CAD/CAM blocks (Vita Enamic) for polishing with one company proprietary, two ceramic and two composite polishing systems. The prepared crowns were divided into six groups: (1) no polishing (control); (2) polishing with Vita Enamic Polishing Kit (VEna); (3) polishing with Shofu Porcelain Laminate Polishing Kit (SCer); (4) polishing with Brasseler Dialite Feather lite All- Ceramic Adjusting & Polishing System (BCer); (5) polishing with Shofu Composite Polishing Kit (SCom); and (6) polishing with Brasseler Composite Polishing Kit (BCom). The polished crown surface topography was observed, and surface roughness and area were measured with AFM. In addition, polished crowns were visually assessed by 15 senior dental students and 15 dental school faculty members. Results: All polishing treatments significantly reduced the surface roughness and area of the crown compared with the control. SCom and BCom showed significantly higher surface area than VEna, and the SCer and BCer groups were intermediate, showing no significant difference from either VEna or SCom and BCom. There were no significant differences in surface roughness between any of the systems. Dental students and faculty members classified the groups polished with VEna, SCer, and BCer groups as clinically acceptable, and they selected BCer group as the best polished restorations and the control group as the least polished restorations. Conclusions: Ceramic and composite polishing systems produced similar polishing results as that observed using a company proprietary polishing system. However, effectiveness for polishing using a company proprietary and ceramic polishing system tends to be higher than composite polishing systems.

Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente estudo é descrever a compreensão dos acadêmicos do Curso de Odontologia do Unifunec sobre seus conhecimentos e o manejo de pacientes com hipertensão, diabetes e gestantes em relação aos anestésicos locais utilizados e à terapêutica medicamentosa. Material e Métodos: Os alunos matriculados no quinto ano do curso de odontologia foram convidados a responder 22 questões sobre perfil pessoal e a prática clínica de atendimento odontológico dos pacientes especiais. Os dados obtidos foram divididos em certos e errados e registrados no Software Microsoft Excelem tabelas elaboradas. Resultados: As tabelas e os gráficos estão exemplificados nos resultados e na discussão. Participaram da pesquisa 68 alunos, sendo que a maioria era do sexo feminino, atendem em clínica escola 100% dos alunos entrevistados. A maioria das questões obteve uma porcentagem de acertos favorável ao da literatura com algumas questões chegando a 90%. Do total de perguntas, as que apresentaram um percentual de acerto menor de 50% foram as questões sobre a anestesia local no paciente diabético e gestante. Conclusão: A compreensão dos graduandos sobre a consulta odontológica de pacientes hipertensos, diabéticos e gestantes encontrou-se em torno de 56%.   UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT’S KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DENTAL APPOINTMENT FOR HYPERTENSIVE, DIABETIC AND PREGNANT PATIENTS   ABSTRACT Introduction: Hypertensive and diabetic patients are frequent in dental offices. Dental surgeons make use and prescribe medications which help in the prevention and cure of oral diseases; it requires appropriate knowledge in order to properly write prescriptions to certain diseases. Consequently, this paper aims at describing the understanding of the undergraduate students’ Dentistry School at Unifunec about their knowledge and management of hypertensive, diabetic, and pregnant patients regarding the use of local anesthetic and drug therapy. Material and methods: Undergraduate students who were enrolled in the fifth year of Dental School were invited to answer 22 questions about personal profile and clinical practice for those particular patients’ dental care. The obtained data was classified as right and wrong and recorded at the Software Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Results: Spreadsheets and graphics are exemplified in results and discussion.  Sixty-eight undergraduate students participated in the study, most of them were female, 100% of them assisting patients at a dental school clinic.  Most of the questions obtained a favorable percentage of correctness in accordance to the literature with some questions hitting 90% correctness. From the total of the questions, questions about local anesthetics for diabetic and pregnant patients obtained less than 50% correctness. Conclusion: The understanding of the undergraduate students about dental appointment for hypertensive, diabetic, and pregnant patients was found to be around 56%.   Keywords: Hypertension.
