Coroas estéticas anteriores em cerâmica metal-free: relato de caso clínico

Society's change of parameters for health and aesthetics has resulted in an increased demand for dental treatments. Nowadays, ceramics systems have shown a substantial development, becoming more reliable and predictable. Dental ceramics, besides being chemically stable, present excellent optical properties when compared to dental structures, thus assuring a special position in the list of aesthetic restorative materials. OBJECTIVE, CASE REPORT AND CONCLUSION: This article describes a successful clinical procedure involving the anterior teeth aesthetics, which were restored with all-ceramic crowns (IPS e.max® Ivoclar Vivadent).

Reabilitação estética do sorriso por meio do sistema cerâmico dissilicato de lítio: relato de caso

The reestablishment of a harmonious smile through dental ceramics, when properly conducted and with specific indications, can achieve extremely predictable results. For aesthetic and functional rehabilitation, many ceramic materials can be used such as zirconia, leucite, alumina, feldspar, and lithium disilicate. Among these materials the lithium disilicate stands out due to the following characteristics: its resistance to wear, to chemical attack, high temperatures and oxidation; low electrical conductivity; near zero thermal expansion; good optical properties and biocompatibility with periodontal; excellent esthetics; color stability and reinforcement of tooth structure. The indications for the use of lithium disilicate are not limited to multiple facets of teeth in cases where there was no favorable response to tooth whitening, and also comprehend teeth with multiple restorations, diastema closure, shape alteration, and dental contouring, replacement of missing or fractured teeth, among others. The versatility of lithium disilicate ceramics allows its utilization in several clinical situations. The concomitant use of lithium disilicate for veneers and over metal has satisfactory aesthetic results, as reported in the present studying cases that require both aesthetics and resistance.

Sensoriamento remoto multifonte aplicado na detecção do fitoplâncton em águas interiores

Blooms of phytoplankton can be a risk to human health and aquatic biota, so the adoption of monitoring methods of phytoplankton and mechanisms for preventing its occurrence are needed. Thus, traditional monitoring methods could be more effective if complemented by approaches using the optical properties of phytoplankton pigments by means of Remote Sensing. In order to evaluate the potential of multi-scale remote sensing for detection of the phytoplankton activity, a study area was selected in Nova Avanhandava reservoir, located in the Tiete River, SP. For this analysis, hyperspectral field data and multispectral images of low and medium spatial resolution (Modis and RapidEye) were acquired and were related to indicator limnological variables of phytoplankton behavior; chlorophyll a and phycocyanin. The results show that a specific spectral band of RapidEye system (690-730 nm) allowed detect chlorophyll a and to evaluate the phytoplankton biomass, however hyperspectral data are needed to detect the phycocyanin pigment, indicative of cyanobacteria.

Nanopartículas de CeO2 modificadas com Er obtidas pelo método hidrotermal microondas: estudo fotoluminescente

The development of nanostructured materials have aroused great interest of the industries all over the country, since they enable the development of devices that can be used as gate insulators on silicon transistors, electrochromic devices, solid electrolyte oxygen sensors and as a photoluminescent materials . In this project, it is proposed to investigate the optical properties of CeO2 modified with rare earth Er processed in hydrothermal-microwave. The synthesis of one-dimensional nanostructures (1D) was measured from dilute aqueous solutions of acids and salts of starting reagents in the presence of chemical basis, after these aqueous solutions were processed on hydrothermal-microwave to particle growth. The particles obtained after processing were characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Rietveld Analysis and Raman Spectroscopy. The particle morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy with field emission gun. The synthesis of 1D nanostructures are evaluated for different surfactants and starting precursors (ceria different salts), pH, temperature and pressure which can modify the morphology of the nanostructures. Combining laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations it was desired to understand the organization of the nanoparticles and their resulting structure. Strict control of chemical homogeneity, crystal structure, microstructure and interaction of the CeO2 cluster with different surfactants using the Hartree-Fock method, was intended to obtain properties compatible with their use in catalysts and optical devices. The use of mineralizer agent KOH and 8 minutes of processing time synthesis conditions were chosen to evaluate the effect of Er dopant. It has been proved that this doping with rare earth increases the photoluminescent properties of the compound obtained without change the structural and morphological propreties of ceria
