Authors: Santos Tafnes Lima Dos , Souza Ana Karolyne Ribeiro De , Oliveira Lara Pepita de Souza
Published: December 2024

Introdução: As restaurações em dentes não vitais e extensamente destruídos representam um grande desafio, especialmente quando se busca preservar a estrutura remanescente e garantir a funcionalidade até a restauração definitiva. A técnica direta-indireta utilizando resina composta surge como uma alternativa eficaz, promovendo uma reabilitação rápida, estética e com adequada resistência até a confecção da restauração definitiva. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um caso clínico pela técnica direta-indireta com resina composta, que foi utilizada para reconstrução provisória do caso. Metodologia: Paciente de 51 anos compareceu à clínica de Dentística II da Faculdade IAES apresentando como queixa principal a insatisfação com a estética dos dentes anteriores. Na radiografia e clinicamente, constatou-se a necessidade de tratamento endodôntico no dente 12. Entretanto, antes de encaminhar para o tratamento, considerando que o remanescente apresentava extensa cárie e prevendo que, após sua remoção, toda a parte coronária seria perdida, confeccionou-se uma guia palatina pela técnica da matriz BRB. Conforme o previsto, após o tratamento endodôntico, o dente retornou totalmente sem a parte coronária, pois esta fraturou após remoção da cárie. O planejamento definitivo do caso consiste em coroa total em resina composta associada à fibra de reforço de polietileno. Entretanto, por motivo de viagem, a paciente precisava de um provisório resistente até a restauração definitiva. Sendo assim, utilizou-se a matriz BRB para reconstrução completa do dente sobre o remanescente. Essa reconstrução foi feita sem sistema adesivo aplicado, ou seja, o remanescente estava totalmente lubrificado e sobre ele uma coroa em resina foi confeccionada e posteriormente removida, limpa, aplicado adesivo nos substratos e realizada a cimentação com resina flow, preenchendo internamente uma parte do conduto. Em outro momento, paciente retornará para o tratamento definitivo. Resultados e Discussão: A estética final do caso clínico agradou muito a paciente e a reconstrução foi bem-sucedida em devolver a funcionalidade do elemento 12. A reconstrução pela técnica direta/indireta possibilita que a restauração seja fotoativada totalmente fora da boca, favorecendo a resistência e o acabamento das margens e superfícies proximais. Conclusão: A combinação da matriz BRB com a técnica direta-indireta resulta em uma reconstrução estética e funcional altamente eficaz.

Authors: Corrêa Evellyn Rose Cazuza , Oliveira Lara Pepita de Souza , Santos Thainara Francisca Silva dos , Silva Jardel dos Santos
Published: December 2024

Introdução: A restauração semidireta é uma técnica que utiliza resinas compostas para reabilitar dentes com grandes perdas estruturais e a elevação de margem gengival é um procedimento que eleva um término gengival ou subgengival para uma posição supragengival, facilitando os passos de moldagem e cimentação de restaurações semidiretas em preparos com essas condições. Este trabalho objetiva apresentar um caso clínico de reabilitação complexa de um dente tratado endodonticamente, empregando a técnica semidireta e a elevação de margem gengival. Metodologia: Uma paciente de 25 anos, com um dente tratado endodonticamente e uma restauração fraturada procurou atendimento no projeto Resgatando Sorrisos da Faculdade IAES. O dente apresentava uma restauração complexa fraturada, com envolvimento das cúspides mesiais (vestibular e lingual). O tratamento endodôntico estava satisfatório, portanto, foi planejada uma restauração semidireta para o caso. Durante o preparo, observou-se uma margem ao nível gengival, então foi realizada uma elevação de margem com resina composta, seguido da confecção e moldagem da biobase (um preparo composto por sistema adesivo, camada de 1mm de resina flow e 1mm de resina composta convencional). Em uma segunda consulta, a peça foi cimentada seguindo os passos: avaliação da adaptação interna, profilaxia (preparo e peça), aplicação de silano por 1 minuto (na peça), adesivo (preparo e peça) e cimentação com cimento resinoso dual convencional. Resultados e Discussão: A elevação de margem gengival facilitou o processo de moldagem e cimentação, resultando em alta satisfação da paciente com o resultado final do caso. Dentre as vantagens da técnica semidireta, pode-se mencionar a possibilidade de reabilitação de grandes destruições coronárias, reduzindo-se as tensões de contração de polimerização do compósito e sendo possível fotoativar adequadamente todas as faces da restauração, por ser confeccionada fora da boca. Combinada à elevação de margem gengival, essa técnica se torna uma poderosa aliada na resolução de casos complexos, permitindo evitar extrações dentárias e preservar ao máximo a estrutura dentária. Conclusão: A realização de protocolos para maximização de adesão e o uso da técnica semidireta associada à elevação de margem gengival são procedimentos que favorecem a preservação de estrutura mesmo em casos de grandes destruições coronárias.

Authors: Moura Isabelle Garcia , Rufino Emanuel Bezerra , Silva Jardel dos Santos , Oliveira Lara Pepita de Souza
Published: December 2024

Introdução: A Odontologia Biomimética utiliza protocolos para maximizar a adesão, preservar a vitalidade pulpar, minimizar tensões de polimerização, entre outros. Sendo assim, a técnica semidireta com esses princípios aumenta a durabilidade de restaurações em dentes extensamente destruídos. Este trabalho objetiva apresentar um caso clínico de um dente vital em cavidade profunda seguindo protocolos biomiméticos. Metodologia: Paciente de 28 anos compareceu à Faculdade IAES queixando-se de uma restauração insatisfatória no dente 46. Radiograficamente, observou-se proximidade pulpar, mas, ao teste de vitalidade, o dente estava vital. Clinicamente, a restauração mostrava-se insatisfatória, com todas as cúspides fragilizadas, portanto, seguindo protocolos para prevenção de fratura do remanescente, foi realizado o rebaixamento de cúspides menores que 2mm, além de remoção seletiva do tecido cariado, preservando a dentina afetada na região mais próxima da polpa. Seguindo o princípio de “zona de selado periférico”, foi mantida uma zona de esmalte e dentina sadios em todo o entorno do preparo, seguido da profilaxia. Após isso, procedeu-se com os passos adesivos: adesivo universal, camada de 1mm de resina flow e blindagem do preparo com resina composta (biobase). Esse preparo foi moldado com alginato e gesso pedra e a peça confeccionada para cimentação na consulta seguinte. Os passos respectivos no dia da cimentação consistiram em: avaliação da adaptação interna da peça, profilaxia (peça e preparo), asperização interna com pontas FF (peça e preparo), limpeza com ácido fosfórico 37% (peça e preparo), silano por 1 minuto (peça), sistema adesivo (peça e preparo) e cimentação com resina flow.  Resultados e Discussão: Revisões sistemáticas apontam que o emprego de materiais de proteção pulpar indireta não é mais necessário para preservação da vitalidade e prevenção de exposições pulpares, uma vez que seja realizada a avaliação prévia da vitalidade, remoção de todo o tecido contaminado nas margens do preparo, manutenção de uma margem segura de dentina afetada na parede pulpar e não utilização de ácido fosfórico em dentina (adesivos universais ou autocondicionantes). Conclusão: A aplicação dos protocolos biomiméticos na técnica semidireta demonstra eficácia na preservação da vitalidade pulpar sem necessidade de materiais de proteção pulpar tradicionais, favorecendo a abordagem restauradora de dentes extensamente comprometidos.

Published: December 2024

This study investigated the levels of organizational support, work engagement, and self-efficacy among university counselors in northern China. It determined the degree of organizational support available to college counselors from organizations, supervisors, colleagues, and students; assessed work engagement through sub-variables such as vigor, dedication, and absorption; evaluate self-efficacy by exploring counselors’ confidence in handling challenges and examining self-efficacy beliefs in different work aspects; and explored the interrelationships among organizational support, work engagement, and self-efficacy. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, with data collected through surveys distributed to university counselors in northern China. Findings revealed that counselors generally perceive moderate to high levels of organizational support, particularly from supervisors and colleagues. Work engagement levels were relatively high, with strong scores in vigor and dedication. Self-efficacy levels varied, with higher confidence observed in handling student-related tasks compared to administrative duties. Significant positive correlations were found among organizational support, work engagement, and self-efficacy. Key areas for improvement include job security, promotion opportunities, and competitive salaries. While this study provides valuable insights into these areas, it is important to acknowledge certain limitations. The sample, drawn exclusively from five universities in northern China, may not fully represent university counselors across the entire country. Future research should include a more diverse sample from various regions and university types to improve generalizability. Additionally, although correlations among the variables were identified, these do not imply causation.

Emergency situations arise as a result of various events. The paper analyzes
the relationship between bioterrorism and the pandemic of infectious diseases, with
special emphasis on KOVID-19.
Infectious diseases are understood as one of the leading safety risks, due to the
consequences they can cause. The most serious consequence of a bioterrorist attack is
a globally distributed infectious disease that would cause massive human diseases and
numerous disorders in the health, economic, cultural and every other segment of the
functioning of society.
Research has shown that since the early stages of the KOVID-19 pandemic, there have
been various theories about the origin of the virus. With the development of modern
terrorism, the probability that a terrorist group will decide to use biological weapons
is growing day by day. The inductive-deductive method was used in the paper, as well

Frequent social changes, acts of terrorism and war, climate changes, often
lead to temporary or permanent damage to critical infrastructure. Precisely because of
the consequences, critical infrastructure protection is a frequent topic of discussion in
the scientific and professional public. The first step in action when it comes to critical
infrastructure protection is the adoption of legal acts what will define critical
infrastructure as well as the measures for its protection. In this regard, the countries
surrounding Bosnia and Herzegovina have already come a long way, driven by the real
internal needs and EU requirements. Entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as
the existing District, have not taken significant steps in the field of critical
infrastructure protection. In this paper, the legal solutions for critical infrastructure
protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia are presented using the
method of comparison and content analysis.

It has been observed that unmanned aerial systems (UASs), have been used
in a very different way over time including both the malevolent and benevolent usage.
Today, technologicaly developed society, demands regular provision of resources vital
for own functioning whilst being heavy sensitive on its disruption. Unmanned aerial
systems could pose a threat to facilities critical to the functioning of the population and
the government. Having in mind their abilities, the ways they could be used
malovolently is practically unlimited. Nowdays, ensuring the acceptable level of
security for critical infrastructure includes the counter-UAS system as well. This paper
proposes a method for building a security system for encountering the malevolent usage
of UAS and allows effectiveness of the C-UAS to be assessed.

Warehouse operations often include hazards due to relatively fast moving
equipment. While there are multiple approaches to minimize hazards and increase
safety in such environments, an alternative is to consider scheduling operations to
further avoid potential threats. Spatial planning usually involves providing enough
space for warehouse items, while transport routes and safety buffers can be neglected.
This can lead to congestion effects within the warehouse which does not only decrease
efficiency but can also increase accident occurrence. With performance usually being
the highest priority, the operation organization is usually targeted to meet this priority
and putting safety second. In this paper we cover an approach to organize the
warehouse operation in order to increase efficiency by reducing congestion effects and
thus increasing both safety and efficiency.

Local governments in the area of AP Vojvodina are facing various security
challenges. The research conducted in selected local governments in the area of AP
Vojvodina enabled a clearer view of the situation and preparedness of local
governments in response to emergencies. The paper analyzes the legal aspects of
raising the security capacity of local governments in emergency situations. It was
determined that the analyzed local self-governments have relatively modest
possibilities for responding to emergency situations and that the legal framework of
emergency situations is not fully harmonized with other institutional documents at the
level of local self-government. It was also established that in some of the analyzed
municipalities, civil protection units have not been formed, nor have Protection and
Rescue Plans been prepared. The normative method was used in the paper, as well as
the legal-logical methods of induction and deduction.

The aim of the paper is to point out the important tasks of the theoretical
aspect of military strategy, as well as tasks that should be carried out by military
strategy as a practice, using new methods of research or military exercises, in order to
scientifically verify the chosen strategic concepts. Through a comparative analysis of
the literature, approximately six directions of development of the theory and practice
of military strategy development were identified. They may not be the most important,
but they certainly have a certain importance for the development of this narrow
scientific field of military science.

The defense of the Republic of Serbia as a function of national security
consists of two segments: military and civil defense. Planning, organization and
implementation of military and civil defense in peace, war and state of emergency is
realized through the defense system. Defense planning identifies the forces, their
capabilities, and the structure required to respond to a wide range of situations, usually
expressed as a combination of concurrent planning scenarios and determinants derived
from ministerial guidance. Infrastructure (critical infrastructure) is one of the
indicators of the variables on which defense planning is based. In order to understand
the correlation between the concepts of defense and critical infrastructure, research
was carried out in the paper, the aim of which was to use several scientific methods,
with an emphasis on the application of the content analysis method, to arrive at a
conceptual definition of critical infrastructure of special importance for the defense of
the Republic of Serbia.

The paper investigates the importance and application of training soldiers
with mine and explosive ordnance in order to reduce and manage risk. The army uses
mine explosive ordnance to realistically simulate combat, with the aim of achieving a
higher level of operability and reducing the risk to life. The training of soldiers in the
placement and removal of mine explosive ordnance plays a key role in preparing
members of the military for various military operations and tasks. Through the analysis,
this paper concludes that the training of soldiers with mine and explosive ordnance has
a significant potential to improve the ability and efficiency of the military in specific
tasks. It also indicates the necessity of applying all available measures to reduce the
degree of risk in working with mine and explosive ordnance.
