Transportation conditions of work models and communication between Surgeon-Dentists and technicians in dental prothesis of the city of Aracaju-Sergipe inthe making of metallo-ceramics fixed prosthesis.

The current work has the goal of assessing the condition of the work models' transportation and the communication between Surgeon-Dentists and Technicians in Dental Prosthesis, in the making of metallo-ceramics fixed prosthesis in Aracaju-SE. A field research was performed through a questionnaire with the Technicians in Dental Prosthesis registered at the Dentrist Regional Council - Secction Sergipe, operating in Aracaju city. Twelve technicians who used to perform metallo-ceramics in their laboratories answered to this questionnaire. Based on collected data base, 75% of the interviewed ones affirmed that are receiving prosthesis works already in models, being 100% of theses models casted with this special kind of gypsum. Half of the interviewed ones answered that are receiving less of 50% of the articulated models and 84% answered that are receiving less than 10% of the works with troquelized pillar teeth. As far as the written communication is concerned between the Surgeon-Dentist and the Technician in Dental Prosthesis, it was observed that most of the prescriptions sent to the laboratory did not have the necessary information for doing the prosthesis. Therefore, the technician often needed to contact the Surgeon-Dentist. However, it was observed that the conditions of the work models and the communication between Surgeon-Dentists and the Technician in Dental Prosthesis are somehow deficient.
