TL;DR: The results showed an elimination of the oral mucosa biting and complete coverage of the gingival recession, and it was concluded that the nonpedicled buccal fat pad graft is another option for the treatment of Miller Class I recessions.
Abstract: Gingival recession is an oral health problem that affects a large part of the population. Several treatments are suggested in the current literature; among them is the use of buccal fat pad grafting. The objective of this case report is to describe the treatment of a Miller Class I gingival recession using a nonpedicled buccal fat pad graft immediately after performing the surgery for buccal fat pad removal (bichectomy technique). First, bilateral surgical removal of the buccal fat pad was performed with the main objective of eliminating oral mucosa biting. The recipient site was prepared to receive a portion of the fat pad that was cut and macerated in a size that was sufficient to cover the recession. The patient was followed up at 15, 30, 60, and 365 days postsurgery, and the results showed an elimination of the oral mucosa biting and complete coverage of the gingival recession. It was concluded that the nonpedicled buccal fat pad graft is another option for the treatment of Miller Class I recessions.

TL;DR: The outcome after 18 months of clinical follow-up is presented in a patient in whom composite resin restorations in the anterior teeth were replaced with minimally invasive ceramic laminates.
Abstract: This case report describes a patient with discolored and fractured composite resin restorations on the anterior teeth in whom substitution was indicated. After wax-up and mock-up, the composite was removed and replaced with minimally invasive ceramic laminates. An established and predictable protocol was performed using resin cement. Minimally invasive ceramic restorations are increasingly being used to replace composite restorations. This treatment improves the occlusal and periodontal aspects during the planning and restorative phases, such as anterior guides, and laterality can be restored easily with ceramic laminates. In addition, the surface smoothness and contour of ceramic restorations do not affect the health of the surrounding periodontal tissues. Here we present the outcome after 18 months of clinical follow-up in a patient in whom composite resin restorations in the anterior teeth were replaced with minimally invasive ceramic laminates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trabalho aimed at avaliar condicoes higienico sanitarias of aguas and superficies de bebedouros presentes in dois parques in Curitiba-PR.
Abstract: A qualidade da agua e uma questao de saude publica e a seguranca dos consumidores deve ser garantida atraves das especificacoes que determinam as condicoes favoraveis para consumo. Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo avaliar condicoes higienico-sanitarias de aguas e superficies de bebedouros presentes em dois parques na regiao de Curitiba-PR. Os testes aplicados para este estudo foram pesquisa de coliformes totais e termotolerantes que sao importantes indicadores sanitarios para prevenir a ocorrencia de surtos de contaminacao microbiana atraves da ingestao de aguas e a contagem de bacterias heterotroficas e bolores e leveduras que sao necessarios para garantir a qualidade da agua e avaliar as condicoes de higiene. Os resultados encontrados indicam que as aguas fornecidas nestes parques apresentam condicoes higienicas sanitarias adequadas para consumo. Considerando a superficie dos bebedouros observou-se que o resultado obtido no segundo dia de analise ocorreu um aumento significativo na quantidade de unidades formadoras de colonias tanto para bacterias heterotroficas como bolores e leveduras. Este fato pode justificado devido o aumento da temperatura, umidade e a higienizacao inadequada do local.

TL;DR: The use of a quantitative research survey, which used an "intelligent" MS Word form, which was sent through e-mail to industrial manufacturers in the state of Sao Paulo - Brazil was successful and the cost was much lower than usually incurred.
Abstract: As people start incorporating the Internet in their daily routine, using its resources to carry out their usual activities, it becomes easier to use the Web's environment also to collect data by means of electronic surveys. This paper reports the use of a quantitative research survey, which used an "intelligent" MS Word form, which was sent through e-mail to industrial manufacturers in the state of Sao Paulo - Brazil. The response speed was much better than usually achieved using the conventional procedure of sending the survey through regular mail. The return rate was satisfactory and the cost was much lower than usually incurred, due to the virtualization of the contact with the respondent. The initiative was so successful that the authors decided to share their experience with the academic community, contributing to the maturing of the e-mail survey methodology. Although the focus of this study was strictly academic, the authors believe that the adopted procedures are also suitable for market research, feedback gathering and other entrepreneurial needs.

TL;DR: A primazia do objeto and condicao fundamental de compreensao da realidade for a dialetica negativa proposta by Adorno, is a fundamental fundamental of compreensão da realídade for Dialetica Negativa.
Abstract: A primazia do objeto e condicao fundamental de compreensao da realidade para a dialetica negativa proposta por Adorno. Este ensaio tem como objetivo principal apresentar a Dialetica Negativa como metodo de refl exao, bem como suas eventuais contribuicoes para os Estudos Organizacionais. Para isto, sera necessario verifi car como a Dialetica Negativa se apresenta como um "atentado" contra a tradicao; como o cognoscivel e construido na relacao objeto ↔ sujeito ↔ objeto pelo principio da nao identidade; como a aparencia e a contradicao sao elementos de recusa a uma totalidade defi nitiva; como o conceito, enquanto elaboracao do pensamento, e as categorias, enquanto modo de apreensao do real pelo pensamento, sao elementos constitutivos da formacao da realidade; e como se formam os sistemas totalitarios. Com isto, sera possivel verifi car como a construcao do entendimento ocorre por meio de construcoes afirmativas contrarias a Dialetica Negativa, que se fi rma com base no principio da nao-identidade. Tambem sera possivel compreender como os chamados Estudos Organizacionais em geral se caracterizam por concepcoes epistemologicas que podem ser fontes inesgotaveis de analise sob a perspectiva da Dialetica Negativa.
