DIAS, Reinaldo Brito e; HERRERA, Luis Pablo; REIS, Ricardo César dos  and  COTO, Neide Pena. Contribution of Maxillofacial Prosthetics for the dentistry internationalization. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2016, vol.70, n.2, pp. 122-125. ISSN 0004-5276.

Objectives: This article aims to illustrate a scientific technical international relationship through the use of technique created and patented by Brazilian researchers. Materials and Methods: A group of Brazilian researchers devised, researched and patented a technique of obtaining and using scanned iris in ocular prosthetic rehabilitation. The internationalization of the technique was due to technical and scientific partnership between Brazilian and Mexican researchers. A Mexican researcher remained for a period in which he specialized and completed his master's course with the Brazilian team that was able to transfer knowledge and offer a training in the application of the technique. Results: Three cases are shown, two Brazilian and one Mexican. Ocular Prosthetic rehabilitation of these cases was performed using the Brazilian technique of scanned iris. Conclusion: Brazilian research, especially in health, comes with international relevance. The concern with improving life quality makes our technical studies relevant worldwide.
