Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity of two conventional cements (Zinc Cement and Ketac Cem Easymix), one resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RelyX Luting 2) and six resin cements (Multilink, Bistite II DC, RelyX ARC, Fill Magic Dual Cement, Enforce and Panavia F) by digitization of images. Methods. Five disc-shaped specimens (10 × 1.0 mm) were made for each material, according to ISO 4049. After setting of the cements, radiographs were made using occlusal films and a graduated aluminum stepwedge varying from 1.0 to 16 mm in thickness. The radiographs were digitized, and the radiopacity of the cements was compared with the aluminum stepwedge using the software VIXWIN-2000. Data (mmAl) were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Results. The Zinc Cement was the most radiopaque material tested (P < 0.05). The resin cements presented higher radiopacity (P < 0.05) than the conventional (Ketac Cem Easymix) or resin-modified glass ionomer (RelyX Luting 2) cements, except for the Fill Magic Dual Cement and Enforce. The Multilink presented the highest radiopacity (P < 0.05) among the resin cements. Conclusion. The glass ionomer-based cements (Ketac Cem Easymix and RelyX Luting 2) and the resin cements (Fill Magic Dual Cement and Enforce) showed lower radiopacity values than the minimum recommended by the ISO standard.
Generally, most of the pilots felt that hypoxia education and training for unpressurized aircraft is not extensive enough. However, almost all the respondents were willing to use a flight physiology monitoring system in order to improve flight safety.
Aim:The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the flexural strength of a composite resin polymerized with three different modes of light exposure.Materials and Methods:The three different modes of light exposure were conventional, 600 mW/cm2/40s; soft start, 300 mW/cm2/10s + 600 mW/cm2/30s; pulse delay, 600 mW/cm2/1s + 60 s of waiting time + 600 mW/cm2/39s). Twenty samples were prepared for each polymerization method. Flexural strength (FS) tests were carried out with a 2 kN load at a speed of 0.5 mm/ min. All tested groups were submitted to analysis of variance (one-way-ANOVA) and Tukey's test (P < 0.05).Results:When stored in water, conventional and pulse delay groups presented higher FS values which were statistically different from the soft start group. When stored in 100% ethanol, conventional and soft start groups presented higher FS values which were statistically different from the pulse delay group.Conclusion:Different polymerization modes and immersion media can affect the physical properties (flexural strength) of composite resin.
Por consequência de estudos que começaram com maior ênfase nos anos setenta, como nos trabalhos de David Ausubel, Paulo Freire e Howard Gardner, sabe-se que os alunos apresentam perfis subjetivos de aprendizagem, assim, de certo, a velocidade e a forma de apropriação do conhecimento varia conforme o sujeito objeto do paradigma ensino-aprendizado. De maneira geral, sendo o professor o responsável por transformar um conjunto de matérias em conteúdo de ensino, deve ele criar seu plano de aula de forma que a maioria dos alunos sejam atingidos. Hoje, nota-se que a aula expositiva-dialogada está defasada, uma vez que os alunos não sentem atraídos em serem agentes passivos na relação ensino-aprendizado, ou seja, não sentem atraídos em ficar em silêncio apenas ouvindo o professor. Atrelado ao pensamento de que o professor deve integrar outras metodologias em suas aulas para garantir que os alunos adquiram uma aprendizagem significativa, como também haja uma maior quantidade de alunos participando da interação com o conteúdo, este trabalho teve como finalidade analisar a influência de um jogo de batalha naval como ferramenta didática no ensino de matemática para com alunos do ensino fundamental, testando se este pode ser um possível apoiador das aulas expositivas para melhora nos índices de desempenho dos alunos. Esta pesquisa consistiu em uma análise de desempenho dos alunos apenas com a aula expositiva, como também após a aplicação do jogo. Com base nos resultados obtidos notou-se que houve melhora no desempenho dos alunos após esta abordagem metodológica, mostrando a grande eficiência da integração de jogos em aulas de matemática.
