INFLUÊNCIA DO LASER DE BAIXA INTENSIDADE NA VELOCIDADE DA MOVIMENTAÇÃO ORTODÔNTICA

Este estudo investigou os efeitos do laser de baixa intensidade na velocidade da movimentação ortodôntica de caninos submetidos à retração inicial. A amostra constou de 26 caninos superiores e inferiores, submetidos à retração inicial realizada com mola Niti, com força de 150g. Um dos caninos foi irradiado com laser de diodo, seguindo o protocolo de aplicação: 780nm/20mW/5Jcm2/0,2J por ponto/Et=2J, nos dias 0, 3 e 7 pós-ativação, sendo que o contralateral foi considerado placebo. A retração durou em média 4 meses, num total de 9 aplicações de laser. Os modelos de cada mês foram escaneados com scanner 3D (3Shape) e as imagens tridimensionais foram analisadas por meio do Software Geomagic Studio 5, para a mensuração da quantidade de movimentação dos caninos retraídos. Foi empregada a Análise de Variância a três critérios, seguida pelo teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Para verificação da integridade tecidual, foram efetuadas radiografias periapicais iniciais e finais dos caninos retraídos e dos molares, nas quais foram avaliados uma possível reabsorção na crista alveolar, por meio da distância da crista óssea alveolar até a junção cemento-esmalte e os níveis de reabsorção radicular, por meio do índice de Levander e Malmgreen, sendo este último avaliado somente nos caninos retraídos. Para isto, foi empregado o teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon (p<0,05). Os resultados indicaram que houve um aumento estatisticamente significante na velocidade da movimentação dos caninos irradiados comparados ao seu contralateral, em todos os tempos avaliados, como também a preservação da integridade tecidual. Com isso, concluiu-se que o laser de diodo pode acelerar a movimentação ortodôntica, podendo contribuir para a diminuição do tempo de tratamento.(AU)

A UTILIZAÇÃO DO LASER DE BAIXA INTENSIDADE NA MOVIMENTAÇÃO DENTÁRIA E NA SENSIBILIDADE DOLOROSA APÓS APLICAÇÃO DE FORÇA ORTODÔNTICA

O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a eficácia do Laser de Baixa Intensidade (LBI) na aceleração da movimentação dentária e na diminuição da dor frente à aplicação de força ortodôntica. A amostra foi composta por 19 pacientes, sendo doze do sexo feminino e sete do sexo masculino, com idade inicial média de 14,69 anos, todos com indicação para extrações de primeiros pré-molares. Destes, 66 caninos foram submetidos à retração inicial, sendo que 33 receberam aplicação de laser e 33 foram considerados controle. Utilizou-se o Laser de Baixa Intensidade de arseneto de gálio e alumínio, com comprimento de onda de 780nm, na dosimetria de 40mW;10J/cm2;10s/ponto, aplicado apenas uma vez ao mês em dez pontos, sendo cinco por vestibular e cinco por lingual/palatino. Modelos de gesso foram confeccionados durante todos os meses de retração dos caninos, que teve duração de quatro meses, sendo, posteriormente, digitalizados para se mensurar a quantidade de movimentação de um lado em relação ao outro, utilizando-se como referência as papilas incisivas. Para a avaliação da dor experimentada pelos pacientes, os mesmos foram orientados a preencher uma escala analógica visual (VAS) que variava de 0 a 10 , em que zero significava nenhuma dor e dez significava dor insuportável, nos intervalos de 12, 24, 48 e 72 horas após a aplicação da força ortodôntica. Foi mensurado o apinhamento de todas as hemiarcadas dos pacientes na fase inicial, medindo-se a distância entre os pontos de contato de cada dente. Para a verificação do padrão de normalidade, empregou-se o teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, sendo que para comparar o lado irradiado com o lado não irradiado foi utilizado o teste t pareado, exceto para a variável razão caninos/molares , analisada pelo teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon (p<0,05). Os resultados mostraram que em relação ao apinhamento dentário, os lados irradiado e não irradiado apresentaram-se compatíveis. Além disso, não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre a quantidade de retração dos caninos irradiados comparados aos não irradiados, o mesmo acontecendo com a sensibilidade dolorosa experimentada pelos pacientes. Concluiu-se assim que o LBI na dosimetria e forma como foi utilizado não foi eficiente na aceleração da movimentação dentária nem na redução da dor experimentada pelos pacientes frente às forças ortodônticas.

AVALIAÇÃO DO COMPRIMENTO DA COROA CLÍNICA DOS DENTES ÂNTERO-INFERIORES EM PACIENTES TRATADOS COM APARELHO REGULADOR DE FUNÇÃO FRÄNKEL-2

O objetivo do estudo consistiu em verificar uma possível alteração no tamanho da coroa clínica dos dentes ântero-inferiores em 50 indivíduos portadores de má Oclusão de Angle Classe II. A amostra foi dividida em 2 grupos: um grupo tratado com 25 indivíduos (14 do sexo masculino e 11 do feminino) com idade média em T1 (tempo inicial do tratamento) de 11 anos (dp = 9 meses), e em T2 (tempo pós-tratamento) de 12 anos e 7 meses (dp = 7 meses), tratados com o aparelho regulador de função Fränkel-2, durante 18 meses; e, um grupo controle com 25 indivíduos (12 do sexo masculino e 13 do feminino) com idade média em T1 de 10 anos e 3 meses (dp = 11 meses) e em T2 de 12 anos e 1 mês (dp = 11 meses). Os 100 modelos em gesso dos indivíduos foram analisados e comparados em relação ao início e ao término do tratamento por meio de um paquímetro digital, utilizando-se como medida a distância da borda incisal até a porção mais côncava da margem gengival dos incisivos e caninos inferiores. Os dados foram analisados por meio do teste t de Student e teste t pareado. Dentre os seis dentes ântero-inferiores, todos apresentaram aumento significante no grupo tratado, e apenas três dentes (33,42 e 43) apresentaram aumento significante no grupo controle. Já em relação ao grupo tratado e o grupo controle em T2, houve um aumento significante da coroa nos dentes 32, 33 e 43. Houve um aumento estatisticamente significante em apenas dois dentes (31 e 41) em ambos os sexos. Os resultados não demonstraram relevância estatística quando comparados com a alteração do tamanho da coroa no decorrer da idade. Conclui-se que as medidas das coroas clínicas dos dentes diferiram entre os grupos, sendo maior no grupo tratado. O aumento da coroa clinica dos dentes, não esta relacionado somente pela presença de inclinação para vestibular dos mesmo, mas pode ser considerado como multifatorial.

Condições de trabalho e terceiro setor: implicações contemporâneas para o serviço social

In the contemporaneity, due to the implementation of the neoliberal project in which one verifies the withdrawal of the State in regard to the development of social policies, it is observed a new way of responding to the multifaceted expressions of the social issue, which is the emergence and expansion of a supposed "third sector" in society. Thus, the productive restructuring process has led to the deterioration of labor relations, as well as a super exploration of human labor power, also triggering structural unemployment. By being delineated in classist interests, the emergence of the "third sector" brings contradictory aspects to the society, one of these being the very concept of "third sector", more ideological than real. By seeking to answer the expressions of the social issue, demands the intervention of social workers in the institutions that "composes it". This way, arises the interest in researching what are the current conditions and labor relations of the social workers who work in the institutions of the "third sector" in Mossoró-RN. Therefore, this study is constituted by a survey for the conclusion of a Master's degree in Social Service at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Therefore, it was listed out as general objective to identify and analyze the conditions and labor relations of the social workers entered in the institutions of the "third sector" in Mossoró-RN. And by specific objectives: to map the institutions that are part of the "third sector" in the city of Mossoró, which have social workers on its professional staff, in order to profile the same; and, analyze the main challenges presented to the work of the social worker in these institutions. We used the bibliographic and documental research to enlighten the knowledge of the topic approached and the development of the field research, in which for the analysis of the data obtained, through field research, it was used the quantitative and qualitative approach. The search results confirmed that half of the institutions was identified as philanthropics, and most of them are funded by the federal government and that such organizations develop activities in several areas, particularly health and welfare. Concerning the conditions and labor relations, was highlighted the fact that half of the professionals insert themselves within the institutions by appointment; regarding the salary, 57.1% of employees receive between 3 and 4 minimum wages, which is considered relatively low. Was satisfactory the analysis related to the labor rights, because almost all offer a formal contract, which ensures, in great measure, the effectuation of such rights. Now with regard to the workload, 5 of 6 institutions implemented the Law Nº. 12.317/2010 ensuring 30 hours a week for social workers. However, it were cited many challenges relating the reality of the "third sector" to the conditions and labor relations, among them stands out: the delay of salary and non-salary adjustment; the realization of activities that do not relate to professionals, functions and duties; the development of many activities by a single professional. Two important data are the not incentive to a postgraduate and the charging of the fulfillment of the goals for the professional productivity. Here, it is worth to reflect that, although this study presents elements that provide to identify some aspects of labor relations and conditions of social workers in the "third sector" in Mossoró- RN, as well as some challenges that permeate this space of professional insertion, is meant that there is much to be unveiled, and other studies can later do so in an attempt to a better understanding of the complexity of processes that permeate the "third sector"

Uso da cinza do bagaço da cana-de-açúcar como matéria-prima na substituição dos fundentes para aplicações em porcelanato

The present study aims to evaluate the potential use of bagasse ash from sugar cane (CBC) as a flux, replacing phyllite and/or feldspar in standard industrial mass production of enameled porcelain, verifying the possibility of the CBC contribute to the overall reduction of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic mass. To this end, as a result of the research, we characterized the raw material components of the standard mass (clay, phyllite, kaolin, feldspar, quartz and talc) and the residue of BCC, by testing by XRF, XRD, AG, DTA and ATG. Specimens (CDP) were manufactured in the dimensions of 100 mm x 50 mm x 8 mm in uniaxial matrix under compaction pressure of 33 MPa, assembled in batches of 3 units subsequently sintered at temperatures of 1150°C to 1210°C by varying the Rating Scale at 10°C, heating and cooling ramp of 50°C/min and 25°C/min, with levels of 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 8 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min and 60 min. analyzing the results of the physical properties of water absorption (WA), linear firing shrinkage (LFS), dilatometric analysis (DTA), flexural strain (SFT) and SEM of the sintered bodies in order to verify the adequacy of CDP to ISO 13006, ISO 10545, NBR 13816 standards; NBR 13817 and NBR 13818. The study showed that the formulations that best suit the requirements of the standards are:. G4 - which was applied in 10% of replacing the CBC phyllite, sintering temperature 1210 ° C for 10 min and porch, and F3 - with application of 7.5% of CBC to replace the feldspar in the sintering temperatures of 1190°C, 1200°C and 1210°C for 10 min and porch. These formulations showed better performance regarding the formation of primary and secondary mullite, with considerable reduction of cracks and pores, meeting the prerequisites of standards for glazed porcelain. The results shows that the use of the CBC as a flux in the preparation of porcelain mass meets standard parameters for the manufacture of the product, and thereby can reduce environmental impact and the cost of production. Therefore, it is recommended to use this residue in the ceramics industry, due to its industrial, commercial and collaborative viability for sustainability.

Incorporação do resíduo de cascalho de perfuração de poços de petróleo em formulações cerâmicas

During its operations, the oil industry generates a lot of waste, including gravel from drilling. Control of environmental impacts caused by this waste represents a major challenge. Such impacts can be minimized when it is given an appropriate management by being properly treated and properly disposed or recycled. The properties of these materials can be greatly influenced when a waste is added to its composition. This work aims to study the incorporation of gravel waste oil-well drilling in the standard body for production of red ceramic from a ceramic industry in São Gonçalo do Amarante / RN. The success of the incorporation can minimize costs in the production of ceramic pieces and reduce the environmental impacts caused by waste. The raw materials used were collected, characterized, and formulated with the percentages of 0%, 20% and 40% by weight of substitution of residue were synthesized at temperatures of 900, 1.010 and 1.120 °C using 30 minute firing intervals, 1 hour and 30min and 2 hours and 30 minutes, based on a factorial design 2³. Samples were then subjected to the tests of Water Absorption, Linear Retraction Firing, Flexural Rupture Strength, Apparent Porosity and Apparent Specific mass and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of break section. The results showed that the use of the residue for the manufacture of the ceramic products is possible (tiles, bricks and massive hollow bricks) replacing the clay to 40%, meeting the requirements of the standard and the literature for the technological properties of the final product.

Estudo da adição de resíduos de quartzitos para obtenção de grés porcelanato

In States of Paraíba (PB) and Rio Grande do Norte (RN), northeast of Brazil, the most significant deposits of non-metallic industrial minerals are pegmatites, quartzites and granites, which are located in Seridó region. Extraction of clay, quartz, micas and feldspars occurs mainly in the cities of Várzea (PB), OuroBranco (RN) and Parelhas (RN). Mining companies working in the extraction and processing of quartzite generate large volumes of waste containing about 90% SiO2 in their chemical composition coming from quartz that is one of the basic constituents of ceramic mass for the production of ceramic coating. Therefore, this work evaluates the utilization of these wastes on fabrication of high-quality ceramic products, such as porcelain stoneware, in industrial scale. Characterization of raw materials was based on XRF, XRD, GA, TGA and DSC analysis, on samples composed by 57% of feldspar, 37% of argil and 6% of quartzite residues, with 5 different colors (white, gold, pink, green and black). Samples were synthesized in three temperatures, 1150°C, 1200°C and 1250°C, with one hour isotherm and warming-up tax of 10°C/min. After synthesizing, the specimens were submit to physical characterization tests of water absorption, linear shrinkage, apparently porosity, density, flexural strain at three points. The addition of 6% of quartzite residue to ceramic mass provided a final product with technological properties attending technical norms for the production of porcelain stoneware; best results were observed at a temperature of 1200°C. According to the results there was a high iron oxide on black quartzite, being their use in porcelain stoneware discarded by ethic and structural question, because the material fused at 1250°C. All quartzite formulations had low water absorption when synthesized at 1200°C, getting 0.1% to 0.36% without having gone through the atomization process. Besides, flexural strain tests overcame 27 MPa reaching the acceptance limits of the European Directive EN 100, at 1200°C synthesizing. Thus, the use of quartzite residues in ceramic masses poses as great potential for the production of porcelain stoneware.

Estudo da incorporação de cinza e chamote gerado pela cerâmica vermelha ao próprio processo industrial

The ceramics industry generates waste at various stages of that process, defective products, waste from burning solid fuels, among others. This waste is dumped in landfills, garbage dumps or directly on roads, which has a negative environmental impact. This paper presents a study to incorporate the waste of algaroba wood and chamote (scrap pieces of ceramic already sintered), in to the ceramic material for making sealing blocks. The methodological procedures consist in the characterization of chemical and mineralogical residues, raw materials, and physical-mechanical of the formulations of mixes with clay, silt and waste. By pressing test pieces were produced using a pressure of 200 kgf/cm², varying compositions in the range of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of residue. The sintering was performed in a muffle furnace, with the temperature levels of 850 ° C, 900 ° C, 950 ° C, 1000 ° C and 1050 ° C. The evaluated physical and mechanical properties were: Water Absorption, Linear Shrinkage Burning, Apparent Porosity, Apparent Density and Mechanical Resistance to Flexion. Analysis was carried out by Scanning Electron Microscopy on fracture surfaces of the specimens. Evaluation of linear shrinkage property drying and firing , water absorption and mechanical resistance to compression of the sealing blocks 5% wood ash residue, sintered at 900 °C hold temperature in the laboratory the products manufactured on an industrial scale. The main results, it was found on the viability of using the residues of algaroba wood and to confer refractory properties of the ceramic product. The main results, it was concluded feasibility of using the ash residues algaroba wood to impart refractory properties to the ceramic product and the residue of chamote, being derived from the own ceramic product not interfere with the properties, when used in a percentage of up to 5%.Since the residue of chamote being derived from the ceramic product itself had no effect on the properties. Studies in the laboratory have shown that the incorporation of up to 5% of these residues may be adopted as an alternative technology to reduce the environmental impact caused by the industrial sector, without compromising the final properties of the material, since the results on an industrial scale showed absorption values 11.66 and 11.74 of water and waste products respectively, within the parameters of NBR - 15,270, since the mechanical strength was 1.25 MPa and 0.94 MPa respectively for products with and without residue, lower than the minimum required by the technical standard that is 1.5 MPa.

Análise da gestão da cadeia de suprimentos de um supermercado varejista através da utilização do modelo SCOR

In the last decade the complexity of the environment in which organizations are embedded increased dramatically, having on one side the increasingly demanding consumers in regard to the quality and value of the product and the other companies with the need to reduce operating costs in order to achieve greater profitability, without this there is a downturn in growth or market share powers. In this context the necessity of effectively structuring actions relating to the line with the operational work processes so that business objectives are achieved organizational strategic planning, ensuring the competitiveness of the organization. This study aims to analyze how you have made the management of the supply chain in a grocery retailer in the light of guidelines of Supply Chain Management by using the SCOR model. For realization of this study a survey was needed, classified according to their goals, exploratory and descriptive as to its procedure, document, field and case study. Thus, the processing of data will be qualitative merit, using the thematic categorical analysis of Bardin (1977). Thus, to obtain data interviews together the operational and strategic management of a company that was named Supermarket Omega were performed. After analyzing the information obtained is perceived that there is an effort of the organization enhance its management of the supply chain. However, there is a lack of alignment between the various areas that compose it. About their work processes, we stress that the focus of the company is still very directed on sailing than profitability, although it is undergoing a transformation in its organizational culture However, records the existence of many improvement projects in developing. Thus, it can be noticed that there is some consistency between the assumptions of the SCOR model and applied within the supply chain Omega Supermarket, although a greater effort to better align with the model still needs to be studied
