Dimensões das furcas de primeiros pré-molares superiores e sua relação com curetas periodontais

The aim of this in vitro study was to comparatively evaluate the mesio and distal furcation entrance measurements of first maxillary premolar. The measurements were compared with different curette blades. A caliper was used by an examinator to acquire the measurements of root trunk (TR); 1 mm (D1) and 2 mm (D2) both below the furcation entrance. For this study Gracey, Mini Gracey, Padua Lima (PL) and Goldman Fox 4 curettes (Millenium) were selected. Measurements of DT - total distance of the active blade length, DI - width of the active blade, DM - width of the medium part of the active blade were obtained for the curettes. The measurements were obtained in both the coronary face and in the lateral face. The data TR, D1 and D2 presented normal distribution and were statistically analyzed by paired t-test. Statistically significant differences were found in the mesial root trunk region (TR) of both premolars. The mean of the measurements was greater than the distal. Mean and standard deviation were obtained, and both Gracey and Mini Gracey showed mean measurements compatible with the closer furcation entrance (D1 - 1 mm). Goldman Fox 4 showed adaptation only in the mesial face, and Padua Lima showed no access to any of the faces. Thereby it is concluded that the access of the furcation is narrow (D1). The mesial face of the root trunk (TR) showed mean measurement greater than distal face. Gracey and Mini Gracey curettes demonstrated to be compatible for both faces, mesial and distal of the first maxillary premolars studied.

Estudo anatomico da posição do forame mandibular e da língula em mandíbulas secas

Purpose: The authors tried to verify the anatomic location of the mandibular foramen and língula in dry jaws regarding the anterior and posterior border of the mandible and the incisure, alveolar border and mandibular base, in order to correlate the data with the sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Methods: There were evaluated 44 mandibles (88 sides) from the Morphology Department of the Araraquara Dental School of the São Paulo University (UNESP). The distances measured were previously deter - mined according to the figures presented in this article and were done by the use of a sliding caliper (Brow & Sharpe Digit-Cal Plus), with the mandibles positioned over a Erickson table, and the distan - ces were always measured in millimeters. Results: The pre-determined points and distances founded were X=17,67; Y=14,35; W=20,96 and Z=21,89 for the mandibular foramen, and the relationship between this anatomical structure and the língula shows that the mandibular foramen is in average 5,82 mm below the língula. Conclusions: The authors conclude that the mandibular foramen is lightly posterior in comparison with the ramus mandibular center and that the língula is a very important anatomic landmark for the ramus surgeries as well the knowledge of the distance between it and the mandibular foramen entrance.

Mulher, mercado de trabalho e as configurações do seculo XX

The entrance of women in the labor market carries implications for the organization and structure of family functioning, leading to the proposition of new settings, family arrangements with direct interference in the mother-child and family dynamics.A major challenge for women is to reconcile time for household chores, academic, external work and be able to stay with their children in order to be able establish an affective bond and harmonious.In this sense, one can say that in married life the roles played by man and woman has been increasingly confused and that family configuration has been designed differently from the traditional family structure as well as the mother-child relationship is also touched by these events.

Annual, seasonal and spatial abundance of the seabob shrimp Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Decapoda, Penaeidae) off the Southeastern coast of Brazil

We investigated the influence of environmental factors in spatial and temporal distribution of the seabob shrimp Xiphopenaeus kroyeri in Santos Bay and São Vicente Estuary, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Monthly samples were obtained, from May 2008 through April 2010, from four locations in the estuary and four in the bay. No individual was collected in the estuary and this was attributed to the low salinity means recorded in this environment. We collected 109,153 individuals in the bay and there was no difference in abundance between the two years comprised by the study period. The similarity in spatial distribution can be related to sediment grain size that in all sampling locations showed great amount of very fine sand. The largest amount of reproductive females was obtained in early 2010, when temperature was high, and this could have increased the juvenile recruitment in April 2010. According to our results, the distribution of X. kroyeri in the study area is influenced by temperature, which is related to reproduction, and salinity, limiting the entrance of individuals in the estuarine region.

Representação da odontologia junto a agência nacional de saúde suplementar - ANS

The sector of health insurance is the entrance of 42 millions Brazilian people for health services. Passed a lot of years until regulations appears. The objective of this article was made an analysis of dental institutions participation at the national agency of health insurance – ANS, response for regulation and investigation in Brazil. Through an documental analysis of texts described in meeting registration of ANS, from 1998 to 2006, was made an identification of dental citations, try to describe a standard of dental representation in the meetings. The dentistry was present in 135 citations, the dentistry representatives institutional made 77 citations (57%), 19 was about dentistry proceeds and 7 of those was to ask resolutions; others 35 citations was about manager and standard of services offer by insurance companies, 5 was ask resolutions; others 3 asks was about taxes and fees, and 10 others was about relationship between companies and employs. The results show that dentistry has a good presence by their institutional representatives in ANS meetings.
