Source text - English RESUMO:
Não há dúvida de que a ansiedade e o medo seja uma barreira quando o assunto é a manutenção da saúde bucal, motivo pelo qual, pacientes protelam e até mesmo evitam a visita ao dentista. O medo e a ansiedade são muitas vezes associados ao tratamento odontológico, sentimentos estes que resultam de uma série de fatores como: experiências traumáticas anteriores, medo do desconhecido, medo da dor, entre outros. Um dos fatores que mais causam medo e ansiedade é o uso do alta-rotação (high-speed handpiece), que por conta de seu alto ruído e vibração, geram expectativas exacerbadas nos pacientes. Uma nova tecnologia que utiliza as pontas de diamante (diamond tips) CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) associadas a uma antiga técnica de preparo cavitário (cavity preparation) , realizada com o aparelho de ultrassom, vem sendo empregada como uma ferramenta que possibilita um tratamento menos invasivo e traumático, proporcionando maior segurança durante a realização do preparo cavitário, além de oferecer menor grau de injúrias aos tecidos saudáveis e tecidos moles.
Com o objetivo de avaliar a efetividade da técnica de preparo cavitário utilizando a ponta diamantada CVD acoplada em ultrassom e sua colaboração no sentido de minimizar o medo e a ansiedade geradas nos pacientes, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura através de artigos que tratam do tema proposto.
Os estudos demonstram que este tipo de preparo tem obtido resultados satisfatórios como uma técnica alternativa aos preparos cavitários, com relação ao alta-rotação (high-speed system), quando comparados fatores importantes como microinfiltração (microleakage), topografia do preparo e presença de smear layer. Além disso, as pontas CVD em ultrassom mostrou-se superior nos resultados obtidos no que diz respeito ao conforto para o paciente, apesar de a técnica ser sensívelmente mais lenta em relação à técnica convencional
Translation - Portuguese Abstract:
There is no doubt that anxiety and fear are an obstacle when it comes to the upkeep of oral health, reason for which patients postpone and even avoid visiting the dentist. Fear and anxiety are often associated to dental treatment. These feelings are a result of a series of factors such as: previous traumatic experiences, afraid of the unknown, fear of pain, and such. One of the factors which most causes anxiety is the use of the high-speed handpiece, which due to its noise and vibration exacerbate expectations of the patients. A new technology which uses the CVD - Chemical Vapor Deposition tips associated with an old cavity preparation technique has been used as a tool which makes a less invasive and traumatic treatment possible providing more safety during the cavity prepare procedure and also causes fewer injuries to the healthy and soft tissues.
A review of articles on the matter has been done with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of the cavity preparation, using the CVD diamond tip attached to an ultrasound machine, and its collaboration in minimizing patient’s fear and anxiety.
Studies show that this kind of preparation has reached satisfactory results as an technique to the cavity preparations compared to the high-speed system, when comparing important factors such as microleakage, topography of the cavity preparation and presence of smear layer. Besides, the CVD ultrasound tips showed itself superior in the results concerning patient comfort, although the technique is significantly slower compared to the conventional technique.
I am a freelance translator and private Dutch and English teacher.
I grew up in Brazilian Portuguese household while living in the Netherlands and in England, speaking only Portuguese at home and my education and language spoken outside the house was English and Dutch.
I have been a translator since 2009, having started at a young age, translating articles for an international radio broadcaster. I began translating documents for social organizations and from then on branched out to becoming a professional translator.
Throughout the years I have worked on continuous professional development. In 2017 I finished Cardiff University's online course "Working with translation:theory and practice".
Currently I am in the 5th year of medical school, thus having knowledge of medical terminology and added medical translations to the fields of translation I am willing and able to work in.
I have also been aprivate English and Dutch teacher since 2011. I love literature and have done two courses in this area.
