Arquitetura em ambiente odontológico: estudo preliminar para um Laboratório de Prótese Dentária

Abstract

The Oral Health service in Brazil gained strength from 2004, when the Unified Health System (SUS) established guidelines for the National Oral Health Policy, implementing the Smiling Brazil program, of course, which had been done long before that, but this was a very important step, as it reorganized Dental Specialties Centers (CEO's) and implemented Regional Dental Prosthesis Laboratories (LRPD). The latter, being the object of this study, was considered an environment within dental centers and clinics. However, in the face of personalization, specialization and growth in dental prosthesis services, these environments have been separated from CEOs and Clinics, and have become independent laboratories, needing specific rules and regulations to structure their facilities. The present work aims to propose a Dental Prosthesis Laboratory Project, in the preliminary study stage at Bairro Renascença in São Luís - MA. For this, a small historical resumption of dentistry and dental prosthesis services was produced. Questions about the dental environment, and the biosafety rules of these Health Establishments were also addressed. It was possible to learn about the operation of these Laboratories through technical exploratory visits and information collected at the Maranhão Regional Dentistry Council (CRO-MA). Relevant information was also sought in the local urban legislation. Thus, it was possible to elaborate the proposal for a Dental Prosthesis Laboratory, with functional, pleasant and comfortable architecture for users of this type of environment.
