Sobrevida, éxito, y efecto en la calidad de vida del tratamiento con sobredentadura mandibular en el Servicio de Especialidades Dentales, Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán, Chile: estudio clínico prospectivo de 11 casos. Parte I / Survival, success, and effect on the quality of life of the treatment with mandibular overdenture in the Dental Specialties Service, Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán, Chile: prospective clinical study of 11 cases. Part I

RESUMEN: En los hospitales públicos chilenos, los pacientes desdentados mandibulares pueden ser tratados con una Sobredentadura-Mucosoportada, Implanto-Retenida (SMIR). Para tal fin, se adaptaron los lineamientos del plan piloto "Programa de Prestaciones Valoradas. Odontología 2012 Ministerio de Salud", en ausencia de una Guía Ministerial. El objetivo de esta serie de casos fue evaluar si la implementación y adaptación del plan piloto del tratamiento con SMIR mejoró la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Se evaluaron sobrevida, éxito implantario, e impacto en la calidad de vida. Los resultados indican una sobrevida y éxito implantario del 100% y una mejora de la calidad de vida. Conclusión: el tratamiento con SMIR mejora la calidad de vida de los pacientes, en el servicio público.

ABSTRACT: In Chilean public hospitals, patients with Complete Edentulous Mandible are treated with Implant-Retained and Mucosa-supported Overdenture (IRMO). For this purpose, the guidelines of the pilot plan "Valued Benefits Program in Dentistry 2012, Ministry of Health" have been adapted. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether these adapted protocols have been successful. We measured implant survival and success, and impact on quality of life with OHIP-14 criteria. Results indicate 100% implant survival and success and improved quality of life. Conclusion: IRMO improves patients' quality of life in public services.

Bioclimatic Prosthesis: Experimental dataset for a low-cost Trombe wall to existing social housing refurbishment for an intermediate valley (Chillán) city in the south of Chile.

This dataset is part of the article entitled "Design and experimental study of a low-cost prefab Trombe Wall to improve indoor temperatures in social housing in the Biobío Region in Chile" [1], [2]. The dataset represents the outcome of experimental measurements during a 1-year monitoring campaign to assess the performance of an adaptable and low-cost prefabricated Trombe Wall (TW) with a vertical water storage system. The experiments include periods with mobile insulation during winter nights and external shading during summer which were added to test their effect on the thermal performance. Temperature sensors were used to measure and compare the temperature in two test cells: one with and one without the TW. Following the National Chilean Standard [3], the experiment was done in the interior valley (Chillan), a Mediterranean climate (Csb), according to the Köppen climate classification [4]. The two test cells were designed to represent the most used area of a social housing unit in combination with the most widely used type of window in north façades in the region. One test cell was built exactly as the social housing unit, while the second test cell included a low-cost Trombe wall. Five temperature sensors were installed in the test cells. The thermal performance of the TW was monitored and analysed for the first time in Chile, providing insights in the thermal performance of the TW and proving the potential effectiveness of seasonal variations to improve winter and summer performances.
