The Brazilian District, Section IV of the International College of Dentists, carried out a work in partnership with the Kidney and Hypertension Hospital of the Federal University of São Paulo, in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
According to the Brazilian Association for Organ Transplants, in the first semester of 2010 2,291 kidney transplants were performed in Brazil. During this period, the Kidney and Hypertension Hospital (Hospital do Rim e Hipertensão - HRH) conducted 442 transplants, just about 20% of all kidney transplants in the country. For 10 consecutive years, this hospital has been the world leader in kidney transplants. It is also the world leader in pediatric kidney transplants, having performed more than 500 transplants of this kind, of which 51 were performed last year.
The program of prevention and oral health promotion in kidney-transplanted patients is the result of a joint effort by dental specialists in the areas of Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Orthodontics and General Clinic. This task force aims to care for patients up to 20 years of age, who receive follow-up treatment at the institution’s Post Transplant Clinic. The renal-transplanted patients have very specific oral deficiencies such as a decrease in salivary flow, enamel hypoplasia and gingival hyperplasia that are normally associated with some immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclosporine.
In addition to the problems related to kidney malfunctioning, which is a chronic ailment that requires great care, by and large patients end up neglecting their oral health. The objective of this program is to change patients’ behavior in relation to health care and oral hygiene, encouraging them to incorporate good habits, such as brushing and flossing, in their daily routine.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
