Aim: To evaluate through an in vitro study surface changes on decayed enamel after the use of fluoridated dentifrices involving nanoencapsulated technology (NanoF). Methods: Forty blocks of human enamel were distributed among four groups (n = 10): 50% NanoF + 50% NaF (50% nF), 100% NanoF (100% nF), 100% NaF as the positive control (PC) and without fluoride as the negative control (NC). The specimens were subjec...
Objetivo: Realizar uma análise econômica completa do tipo custo-efetividade dos tratamentos para o osteossarcoma em pacientes oncológicos de 0 a 19 anos.

Objective: To measure surface changes of pacifier nipples after immersion in acidic artificial saliva. Methods: Two types of pacifier nipples (latex and silicone) were selected. Five copies of each type were used. The protocol consisted of immersion in acidic artificial saliva (pH = 5.97) for 16 days. The nipples of the pacifier remained in direct contact with saliva in an individualized, opaque and closed cont...
