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.

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.

O mirabolante mundo das partículas elementares: uma sequência didática para professores de física

Alguns aspectos da transposição de uma sequencia didática sobre o comportamento de partículas e ondas

This work presents a partial analysis of the implementation of a didactic sequence aimed at undergraduate students of quantum chemistry. The sequence develops on some fundamental concepts to understand the behavior of the objects particles and waves in the doubleslit experiment. The analysis is based on the didactic transposition theory, proposed by Yves Chevallard, which allows reflection upon the scientific knowledge reorganized to be used in teaching contexts. Our interest in this study lays on the dynamics of transposition of knowledge-to-be-taught into knowledge-taught, particularly the importance of making concepts more comprehensible. Results showed that the communication of knowledge by the students is presented with interruptions, gaps and colloquial language. The analysis allowed the identification of needs and possibilities of learning, as well as a turn in the teacher practice, through a dynamic process of action and reflection.

Segmentação de imagens utilizando competição e cooperação entre partículas

Este artigo apresenta uma proposta de extensão do modelo de aprendizado semi-supervisionado conhecido como Competição e Cooperação entre Partículas para a realização de tarefas de segmentação de imagens. Resultados preliminares mostram que esta é uma abordagem promissora.
