Procedimentos odontológicos integrados e restaurações finais de dentes estruturalmente comprometidos: Um capitulo de livro

Abstract

Situations characterized by treatment needs involving procedures from various dental specialties, especially Endodontics, Dentistry and Periodontics, are commonly encountered by dentists in clinical practice. Such situations require an integrated and complex approach and are usually approached following the order PERIODONTAL > ENDODONTICS > DENTISTRY. This sequence of treatment may not be ideal in certain situations, especially in the model of referral to Dental Specialty Centers (CEO) found in the reality of Brazilian public dental services, due to the high demand of patients and the low availability of vacancies in the services. This problem encouraged professors of the undergraduate course at the Federal University of Ceará - Sobral campus, to think of a new sequence of approach for complex integrated procedures, following the order PERIODONTICS > DENTISTRY > ENDODONTIC > DENTISTRY, seeking to improve the prognosis of these clinical cases. This initiative culminated in the creation of a book on integrated dental procedures that describes in detail this new proposal and its advantages. The objective of this work is to present chapters 2 and 7 of this book produced by students of the Dentistry Course under professor supervision, enabling greater student learning and debating better clinical alternatives for a more consistent teaching and learning process and transmission of dental knowledge.
