Background: The long-term success of dental implants largely depends on achieving primary stability, previously described as crucial to obtaining osseointegration and immediate loading protocol requirements. Implant thread depths seem to be one of the key factors influencing primary stability, particularly in low-density bone. Insertion torque (IT) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) are considered the most ...
Por decisão das estruturas diretivas da IAG (Associação Internacional de Geomorfólogos) tomada na Índia, em 2017, aquando da realização da IX Conferência Internacional de Geomor fologia, a Conferência Internacional seguinte seria realizada em Portugal, mais exatamente na cidade de Coimbra, no ano de 2021. Fomos contactados para o efeito e aceitámos este desafio que se antevia complexo e difícil, mas que sabíamo...
Background: Implantoplasty (IP) involves polishing of the exposed surface of implants affected by peri-implantitis (PI). A study was made to determine whether the degree of bone loss influences the fracture resistance of implants with or without IP. Material and Methods: An in vitro study was carried out on 32 narrow (3.5 mm) dental implants with a rough surface and external hexagonal connection. Implantoplasty...
Background: Peri-implantitis is a biological complication that affects soft and hard tissues around dental implants. Implantoplasty (IP) polishes the exposed implant surface, to decontaminate it and make it less prone to bacterial colonization. This study investigates whether a higher clinical crown-to-implant-ratio (CIR) reduces implant fracture resistance and whether implants are more fracture-prone after IP ...
O presente relatório resulta do Estágio Curricular realizado na instituição SP Global, mais precisamente no departamento de marketing, ao abrigo da Licenciatura em Marketing da Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão do Instituto Politécnico da Guarda. Durante as quatrocentas horas decorridas no estágio foram desenvolvidas diversas atividades na área do Marketing. As primeiras prenderam-se com a empresa receptor...
The presence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of 174 Escherichia coli strains isolated from healthy Portuguese Gallus gallus was evaluated. Resistance profiles were determined against 33 antimicrobials by microbroth dilution. Resistance was prevalent for tetracycline (70%) and ampicillin (63%). Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype was observed in 18% of the isolates. Multidrug resi...
Hoje em dia as energias renováveis são consideradas um bem muito precioso para a sociedade, pelo que cada vez mais existe a necessidade de se conhecerem os seus benefícios para adaptar os hábitos quotidianos à sua utilização. Neste sentido, como membros da sociedade e sendo alunos finalistas da licenciatura de Energia e Ambiente, tentámos prestar o nosso melhor contributo ao desenvolver um projeto relacionado c...
Salmonella enterica is a zoonotic foodborne pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. We assessed the virulence potential of one-hundred and six Salmonella strains isolated from food animals and products. A high through-put virulence genes microarray demonstrated Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands (SPI) and adherence genes were highly conserved, while prophages and virulence plasmid genes were variabl...
The aim of this study was to record the analgesic prescription commonly performed by Portuguese Rheumatologists in patients with chronic Rheumatologic disease, using the guidelines provided by the World Health Organization for treatment of chronic pain as comparative.We randomly selected the clinical records of 203 patients with complete clinical record. We excluded patients with less than a year of follow-up, ...
