Redução do medo durante o tratamento odontológico utilizando pontas ultrassônicas

Over the last few years, new technologies have been developed to making cavity preparations, among which the diamond burs CVDentus® (CVDentus, São José dos Campos, Brazil) are outstanding. These points are produced by chemical deposition from the vapor phase, forming a single diamond stone, with greater durability than the conventional diamond burs. Coupled to the ultrasound appliance, they have several clinical applications in Dentistry with advantages over conventional rotary instruments, such as lower pressure, noise, vibration and heat, as well as reducing the need to use local anesthesia, contributing to minimize patient’s fear and anxiety. The aim of this study was to present the complete restorative dental treatment performed with this system in a child patient with a prior history of non-cooperative behavior. The use of this new technology offered the patient greater comfort, making it possible recondition the patient’s attitude to dental treatment, in addition to favoring conservative cavity preparations to be made.

Desenvolvimento, implantação e avaliação do desempenho de biorreator anaeróbico de leito fluidizado e leito fixo com filtros biológicos em materiais diversos

This study aimed to develop, implement and evaluate the performance of a new type of bioreactor for anaerobic treatment of wastewater using different filling materials like trickling filters post-reactor. This bioreactor has mixed characteristics of the UASB reactors and horizontal flow from the point of view of removal of BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) ssed (settled solids), TS (Total Solids), SS (Suspended Solid), SD (Dissolved Solids) and turbidity. The experimental model consists of a bioreactor with a volume of 12 m³, 2/3 filled by fluidized bed and 1/3 for fixed. The fluidized bed is made of polystyrene plates used as a system percolation and compartmentalized trickling filters, where each compartment was filled with a support medium with different characteristics (gravel number 4, plastic rings of polystyrene, PET and HDPE) . In addition, the output of a filter system was installed three entries filled with activated carbon. The bioreactor was installed in private residence in the city of Igarapava-SP (20° 02'40.18"S and 47° 45'01.36" W). The system was highly efficient as the removal of organic contaminant load 92% on average reducing the BOD, a significant result when compared to other anaerobic systems. For the other parameters, the mean reduction was 96% for turbidity, 99% ssed, 67.5% ST, 57% SD and 88% of SS. As for its operation the system was capable of operating in continuous flow without the need for maintenance during the entire period of evaluation and without energy, as it operates taking advantage of the natural slope of the terrain where it is installed. The environmental impacts were minimized due to the preservation of local vegetation allowing the ecosystem to remain unchanged beyond the prototype was completely sealed preventing exhalation of odors and therefore not causing inconvenience to neighboring populations. Given these facts it was concluded that the prototype is shown to be highly feasible deployed as a new alternative for treatment of sewage in rural and urban settings (individual homes, condos, farms, ranches, etc.) Due to ease of design and operability, and sustainability at all stages of execution.

Molhabilidade de material reembasador: efeito dos agentes químicos de limpeza

Risk of mechanical injuries contraindicate brushing and elect chemical agents as appropriate for daily cleaning of dentures relined with resilient materials. It was evaluated the effect of denture cleansers on the wettability of denture relining material (Dentusoft, Dental Medrano). We used 20 discs of acrylic resin thermoactivated VipiCril ® with 30mm diameter and 4mm thick, covered by 2mm Dentusoft ®. Divided into 4grupos were stored in artificial saliva at 37 +1 º C for 30 days, immersed daily for 15minutes in distilled water (GI), Corega ® Tabs (GII), a solution of sodium bicarbonate (GIII) or solution of sodium hypochlorite (GIV) after which, on the soft liner were poured 2 ml of type IV gypsum (Durone IV, Dentsply). Reached the final setting of the gypsum specimens were sectioned vertically and medially, settled water with sandpaper No. 400 and mounted on suitable device for reading (in the right and left) of the contact angle Carl Zeiss microscope (precision, 001). The results were submitted to analysis, showed non-normal distribution, opting for non-parametric test. Kruskal Wallis test performed at 5% significance, there was statistical difference between the groups with lower average contact angle for GII. It was concluded that the chemical cleaning Corega Tabs ® allowed a better adaptation of relining the gypsum studied.

Compatibilidade entre alginato e gesso ortodônticos: capacidade de umedecimento sob influência da desinfecção do molde

The dental trade has offered dental impression and dental stone for orthodontic use ensuring accurate models. The compatibility between these materials is defined by the wetting of the model surfaces by the mixture water/stone poured over it and the influenced by the method of disinfection of model and disinfectant solution used. It was evaluated the influence of spray disinfection with sodium hypochlorite 1% on the wettability of two commercial alginate (Jeltrate ® - Dentsply and Orthoprint ® - Zhermack) at two commercial type III gypsum (Rio ® - ME and AOBussoli Orthogesso Orthogesso ®-SA). Twenty models were fabricated for each type of alginate, which were divided into two groups (water and sodium hypochlorite), receiving respectively water and sodium hypochlorite 1% spray. Each group of models was then further divided into two subgroups, and on their surface were poured 2 ml of type III gypsum (Gesso Rio® or Orthogesso®). Reached the final setting of the gypsum specimens were sectioned vertically and medially, settled water with sandpaper No. 400 and mounted on suitable device for reading (in the right and left) of the contact angle Carl Zeiss microscope (precision, 001). The results were submitted to ANOVA and founded statistical significance for solutions used. It was concluded that sodium hypochlorite spray improved wettability of alginates studied.

Efeito da desinfecção e do tempo de armazenagem na molhabilidade de moldes de alginato

The cares at the manipulation of the alginate (condensation, disinfection of the impression and the time elapsed until the leak of the plaster) deserve special attention considering the great amount of distortions occurring every time the impression is not fill of plaster in a brief space of time and appropriate storage conditions. Besides its adaptation to the plaster suffers influence of the events happened after the impression is removed of the mouth. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the wetting capacity of three brands of alginate (Jeltrate™,Hydrogum™ e Orthoprint™) by the plaster type III (Rio™) under the influence of disinfection by sodium hypochlorite 1% sprays and the time of storage of 15 minutes,30 minutes, 1 hour, 6, 12 and 24 hours. There were made 60 impressions of each brand of alginate divided in two groups (water and sodium hypochlorite 1%) rearranged after the application of the sodium hypochlorite spray according to the storage time (15 or 30 minutes and 1,6,12, or 24 hours). On the surface of the impressions 2ml of plaster were flowed, proportioned and condensed in agreement with manufacturer‘s instructions. After the final setting expansion the casts were sectioned vertically and medially, regularized at the cut surface (emery paper 400) and setted for reading the contact angle at the microscope Carl Zeiss. The obtained results, submitted to statistical treatment (ANOVA) revealed significant differences when compared the employed solutions (water and sodium hypochlorite 1%) and the time of storage. The sodium hypochlorite 1% exhibited the smallest contact angles and the times of storage of 15 minutes and 6 hours the smallest and larger angles, respectively. It can be concluded that the alginate impressions exhibited larger adaptation to the plaster when disinfected by hypochlorite of sodium 1% and stocked by 15 minutes.

Recontando o recontado

There are some titles that, under a stealthy look, cause unrest and stir with our imagination. The text by Ana Maria Machado - Point to point - and the topic of a meeting at the University of Brasilia - READ: reading, teaching and reception - intertextualized in the act of reading are sufficiently provocative. Then, from them can emerge a form of ripping, as with a scalpel in a sheet of blank paper and drawing with the word. In this way of thinking, we may write our text, beginning by quoting an essay of Glawinski (1977), in which the author says that literary criticism has only recently become interested in reading, either as an object of reflection, or as a descriptive tool.

Inhomogeneous Fermi and quantum spin systems on lattices

We study the thermodynamic properties of a certain type of space-inhomogeneous Fermi and quantum spin systems on lattices. We are particularly interested in the case where the space scale of the inhomogeneities stays macroscopic, but very small as compared to the side-length of the box containing fermions or spins. The present study is however not restricted to "macroscopic inhomogeneities" and also includes the (periodic) microscopic and mesoscopic cases. We prove that - as in the homogeneous case - the pressure is, up to a minus sign, the conservative value of a two-person zero-sum game, named here thermodynamic game. Because of the absence of space symmetries in such inhomogeneous systems, it is not clear from the beginning what kind of object equilibrium states should be in the thermodynamic limit. However, we give rigorous statements on correlations functions for large boxes. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4763465]

Double shunt technique for hybrid palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome: a case report

We report a technique to palliate hypoplastic left heart syndrome, with no PDA stenting, but with double polytetrafluoroethylene shunt from pulmonary artery to ascending and descending aorta by combined thoracotomies. A 30-day-old female was operated with this technique. Five months after first operation, the child was submitted to Norwood/Glenn operation. Good hemodinamic recovery and initial clinical evolution was observed. The child was extubated in 8th post operatory day and reentubated in the next day due to pulmonary infection. Despite antibiotic treatment, the child died after systemic infectious complications.

Composição e uso de ladrilhos nos quadros de portas e janelas em construções urbanas do século XVIII.

O artigo apresenta a caraterização e a análise dos ladrilhos utilizados em construções do século XVIII, na cidade de Paranaguá, no Estado do Paraná, avaliando principalmente sua composição química. Através da análise de microscópio eletrônico de varredura foi possível coletar informações que permitiram interpretações sobre a composição dessas peças. Em Paranaguá, grande parte das edificações setecentistas possui paredes em alvenaria de pedra enquanto a utilização desses ladrilhos esteve restrita às estruturas dos quadros de portas e janelas, como alternativa às vergas e umbrais de cantaria ou madeira usados em construções até a primeira metade do século XIX. Algumas ruínas existentes no centro histórico revelam fortes indícios dos materiais empregados, modo de assentamento e dimensões desses ladrilhos. Essas peças são mais delgadas do que os tijolos, ressaltando que estes elementos foram bastante empregados a partir da segunda metade do século XIX. Observando os ladrilhos a olho nu, é possível verificar a variedade de agregados que compõem as argilas. Sendo assim, este trabalho é uma contribuição para a história dos materiais e das técnicas construtivas da cidade de Paranaguá e sua relação de influências com a metrópole portuguesa, ao mesmo tempo em que permitiu apropriações e adaptações locais.
