O Núcleo de Defeitos da Face (NUFACE) foi criado em 1996 e funciona na Clínica de Prótese do Curso de Odontologia da UFC, com a finalidade de reabilitar, integralmente, pacientes com mutilações faciais, quanto à estética, anatomia, função e no quesito psicossocial. Assim, objetiva-se relatar a trajetória de 20 anos do NUFACE, focando em sua importância social e científica. Sua equipe é multidisciplinar, sendo f...
Objective The objective of this study by the finite element method was to analyze the stress distribution on a single-rooted mandibular premolar tooth restored in two different ways. Methods Laboratory simulation considered the following situations: 1) premolar restored with gold cast post and ceramic crown; 2) premolar restored with glass fiber post, composite resin core and ceramic crown. For this we used a t...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of ceramic surface treatments and silane drying temperature on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of a resin composite to a lithium disilicate ceramic. Twenty blocks (7x7x5 mm) of lithium disilicate-based hotpressed ceramic were fabricated and randomly divided into 4 groups: G1: acid etching with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid for 20 s and drying silane with room-t...
