Abstract(s)
Introdução: O dique de borracha é utilizado em medicina dentária para garantir a assepsia, a visibilidade e a segurança durante o tratamento. O isolamento é essencial durante os tratamentos endodônticos. Apesar de suas vantagens, seu uso ainda enfrenta restrições devido a desafios técnicos. Diversas inovações foram criadas para aprimorar a sua utilização, incluindo novos sistemas de marcação. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar clinicamente um Novo Sistema de marcação de diques, comparandoo com o MAPA Coltene®. Materiais e Métodos: Foram efetuadas aplicações de diques de borracha em 25 pacientes da clínica dentária universitária, utilizando dois métodos: o tradicional MAPA Coltene® e um Novo Sistema de marcação. Cada paciente foi isolado duas vezes no mesmo dente, em consultas diferentes durante o tratamento endodôntico, para permitir uma comparação direta entre os dois métodos. Foram avaliadas o posicionamento dos diques, o conforto dos pacientes e a facilidade de utilização pelos operadores. Foi aplicado um questionário em cada sessão e os dados foram analisados estatisticamente com recurso ao SPSS®. O Novo Sistema visa uma maior precisão e adaptação anatómica. Resultados: Foram utilizados os testes de Wilcoxon e de t-Student para amostras emparelhadas. A utilização do Novo Sistema mostra uma redução estatisticamente significativa dos valores de desvio horizontal e vertical em comparação com o MAPA. A utilização do Novo Sistema não muda o desconforto para os pacientes. A facilidade de utilização para os operadores é semelhante entre os dois sistemas, mas o nível de satisfação esta estatisticamente superior com o Novo Sistema. Conclusões: O Novo Sistema permite uma melhoria significativa na posição do dique de borracha e na utilização do operador, sem inconvenientes adicionais. É, por conseguinte, uma melhoria para os tratamentos endodônticos e de restauração, tendo em conta a eficiência e a eficácia.
Introduction: Rubber dam is used in dentistry to ensure asepsis, visibility and safety during treatment. Isolation is essential during endodontic procedures. Despite its advantages, its use still faces limitations due to technical challenges. Several innovations have been developed to improve its use, including new marking systems. The aim of this study was to clinically evaluate a new marking system, comparing it with the Coltene® MAP. Materials and Methods: Rubber dam application was performed on 25 patients at the university dental clinic, using two methods: the traditional Coltene® MAP and a new marking system. Each patient underwent isolation twice on the same tooth, during different appointments for endodontic treatment, allowing direct comparison between the two methods. The positioning of the dams, patient comfort and ease of use for the operators were evaluated. A questionnaire was administered at each session and the data was statistically analyzed using SPSS®. The new system aims to provide greater precision and anatomical adaptation. Results: Wilcoxon and Student's t-tests for paired samples were used. The new system demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in horizontal and vertical deviation values compared to the Coltene® MAP. The use of the new system did not affect patient discomfort. The ease of use for operators was similar between the two systems, but the level of satisfaction was statistically higher with the new system. Conclusions: The new system allows for a significant improvement in rubber dam positioning and operator satisfaction, with no additional drawbacks. It can therefore be considered an improvement for endodontic and restorative treatments in terms of efficiency and efficacy.
