Brazil is the world leader in research on infectious diseases

The British Magazine The Economist, published an article in the January 2011, which highlights Brazil as the leading investment in research and development (r & D) to combat infectious diseases.

Brazil

the title of the article suggests that the country is a promising destination for young scientists from around the world: “Go south, young scientist” (go south, young scientist – in free translation). The text points out that, in addition to the Brazil have a scientific community active, the Government’s financial investment in research is high – 1% of gross domestic product (GDP) – almost double the average of the other countries of Latin America

.

Since 2003, the Ministry of health invests and directs much of its resources to research lines related to infectious diseases of poverty such as dengue, Chagas disease and malaria. In 2006, the Ministry of Health launched the program of research and development into neglected diseases in Brazil, in partnership with the Ministry of science and technology

Brazilian activities in the area has called the attention of the world’s financiers of P & D in health. In December last year, the Ministry of health was invited by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to a meeting in Washington with the greatest international institutions that finance P & d.

the number of Brazilian researchers and publications in scientific journals is also growing. Are formed annually 10 thousand PhDs – 10 times more than 20 years ago. Between 2002 and 2008, the participation of Brazilian researchers in publishing scientific articles grew from 1.7% to 2.7%. Still has increased the collaboration of Brazilian scientists on papers from researchers from other parts of the world: 30% of articles signed by Brazilians have a co-author currently foreign

Aesthetics tips tricks and inspirations

The Rely X Veneer cement is a highly appropriate and complete for cementation of resin and ceramic veneers. With a particular highlight for ease of handling and great color stability and physical properties. Another interesting point is that this cement was inspired by the technology already known of resins Flow and Rely X ARC.

Aesthetics/> is with pleasure that I accepted the invitation to conduct a column in this great enterprise that is the Catalyst Magazine. It is really very rewarding to witness people like those in the VP Group, engaged in building our profession. In this sense, I will follow this same purpose, bringing my impression on new materials and techniques, thoughts, tips and General Affairs related to the day-a-day of surgery, as well as motivational and inspirational texts with the aim of working the spirit of leadership and technical professional

dentistry.

This first addition, I would like to share with you my impression about a specific new release to cement aesthetic facets.

Aesthetics

This is the cement Rely X Venner, manufactured by 3 m Espe. The material is a resin system fotopolimerizavel able to cement composite ceramic laminates:

    • /TEGDMA zirconia particles BisGMA;/silica with average size 0.6 μm in 66% by weight; patented thixotropic – dimethacrylate polymers; efficient initiation system, which promotes the polymerization of cement when exposed to visible light of 400mW/cm2. Presents itself to the dentist in the form of syringes of proof folder (folder try-in-five colors).
    • Syringes with resin cement (five colors). Try folders in simulate the color of the cement below the facets. Are excellent to choose the color before setting which will be used, especially in cases where the facets were used or Feldspar-type and reduced thickness max. The good that folder is that it is a water-soluble polyethylene glycol product (not “sticks” in facet). The available colors are: translucent; (B) 0.5; opaque white. A1;
      • A3.

    Aesthetics

    I particularly enjoyed the consistency of cement as well as his syringe which can be used directly in the play. The thixotropic was a decisive factor for the quality of the handling of this cement in the clinic. When I pressed the embolo and applied the material in parts, was extremely easy without the presence of “sticky” or difficulty in withdrawing the syringe material. Another point that I liked was that when you position the rolled, cement was easily removed with a brush

    .

    did the test also removing excess cement with a soft light pulse distance to promote the gel point of cement and this be highlighted more easily. The Rely X Venner responded faster, so if the dentist would prefer to withdraw the excesses in this way, should give a light pulse smaller and with a distance slightly larger

    .

    Aesthetics

    Conclusion

    the Rely X Veneer cement is a highly appropriate and complete for cementation of resin and ceramic veneers. With a particular highlight for ease of handling and great color stability and physical properties. Another interesting point is that this cement was inspired by the technology already known of resins Flow and Rely X ARC with the advantage of being fotopolimerizavel and not bring the drawbacks of the instability of color of dual

    cements.

    |

    Powerful and easy to use, the system of Tapered Beam 3D Radiology KODAK 9500 combines innovation with simplicity, meeting the needs of dental professionals for the diagnosis of maxillofacial Imaging.

    3D

    During the International Congress of Dentistry of the centennial of the APCD – Paulista Association of dental surgeons – which happened between 29 January and 01 February at Expo Center Norte, Sao Paulo, Carestream Kodak’s exclusive manufacturer Dental, Dental Systems, apresentarou system Radiology Ray 3D Tapered KODAK 9500, focused on three-dimensional images of the craniofacial structures

    .

    With unparalleled accuracy, it allows users to quickly produce 3D images of the total field. Intelligent design makes it possible to quickly select and effortlessly the field of vision which best meets the needs of clinical dentistry professionals.

    “with it, you can view, quickly and easily, maxillofacial structures of patients with unparalleled accuracy of 3D – using the platform of Kodak’s equipment”, explains Edson Hungary, Sales Manager for the area of Carestream Health’s dental

    .

    technology of computed tomography (CT) tapered RADIUS anatomically correct images offers to help and provide accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. From a single jaw until complete, the system image Dysostosis 9500 Kodak offers choices of images that are appropriate to the specific needs of the patient. The equipment is available in two programs – total field and 3D medium – and has as advantage to quantitate automatically Radia­tion and enable scanning only the necessary areas, thus decreasing the amount of radiation to the patient and optimizing the time of diagnosis.

    Designed for multiple clinical applications – including restorative dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery and implantology – the Kodak system makes it possible to capture sharp images 9500, high quality and opt for a frontal positioning that ensures better participation of the patient.
