Abstract

To represent all this group of fabulous minds, I will comment briefly on five people. Each one represents a section of the journal.

Ronis, you personify this company employees in pursuing excellence and your work permeates every article submitted here. Doctors Teresa and Laurindo Furquim, your passion for our profession materialized in a company which is a symbol of quality in dentistry. The Brazilian dentistry owes a lot to you.
