ABSTRACT
Objective: To identify the profiles of patients with special needs attended at a Center for Dental Specialties. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and quantitative study using an inductive approach, and a comparative and statistical procedure for analysis of the patients with special needs. Information concerning socioeconomic, medical and dental conditions was collected. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: It was observed that 58.6% of the users were males, single (54.7%), in the age group from 19 to 59 years (41.1%), being 97.4% without schooling. The most frequent clinical diagnoses were: deviations in intelligence (18.4%), behavioral deviations (18.4%) and physical defects (17.9%). We observed for oral health the presence of gingivitis (33.0%), and healthy gums (47.8%); the presence of caries (64.9%), with restored teeth (28.5%), and edentulism (12.3%). Dental intervention procedures were initiated with emphasis on: fluoride applications (39.7%) and subgingival scraping (34.9%). Topical fluoride applications (p=0.010) and prophylaxis (p=0.010) were realized in patients without autism. Also, prophylaxis (p=0.007) was more frequently performed and gingival alterations were more often verified (p=0.020) in patients without Down's syndrome. Conclusion: The users of the patients with special needs dental service can be generally described as male, single, aged between 19 and 54 years, with the special conditions of intelligence and behavioral deviation.

All patient records included by the HCS from June 2012 to June 2016 were analyzed. After the eligibility criteria were applied, the sample consisted of 114 medical records. The collected data were entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to generate descriptive statistics using IBM SPSS (version 21.0). Results: most patients were males (59.6%), elderly (62.3%), had been diagnosed with a stroke (57.9%),had histories of dysphagia (76.3%), speech problems (58.8%), swallowing disorders (80.7%), and abnormal chewing (77.2%).

ABSTRACT
Introdução: o alinhamento, formato, cor dos dentes e simetria dos incisivos centrais superiores são as características mais desejadas para possuir um sorriso atraente e harmônico. Mas também deve ser avaliado o formato facial, contorno dos lábios e exposição gengival. Objetivo: analisar a dimensão do incisivo central, forma facial e o tipo de sorriso prevalente entre os alunos de graduação em Odontologia da UFPB, avaliando se existe uma possível relação entre as dimensões dos incisivos centrais superiores e o formato facial. Material e método: a amostra foi composta por 58 acadêmicos do Curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Na análise dos dados, empregou-se análise descritiva e aplicação do Teste de Mann-Whitney e Qui-quadrado. A mensuração dos incisivos centrais superiores foi realizada com paquímetro na dimensão mésio-distal e cérvico-incisal. Foram avaliadas a distância da face distal do 13 a face distal do 23, utilizando fio dental e o formato do rosto e o tipo de sorriso. Resultados: o sexo feminino apresentou maior predominância (n=35; 60,3%), sendo a média de idade 21,84 ± 2,9 anos. Considerando o formato do rosto, o oval foi o mais prevalente (n=31; 54%). Com relação ao tipo de sorriso, o canto da boca foi o de maior registro (n=26; 44,28%). Para a distância cérvico-incisal, observou-se uma média de 6,57 ± 1,23 mm e para a distância mésio-distal, observou-se uma média de 5,22 ± 1,07 mm. Para a média da altura e largura do ICS e distância de canino a canino com relação ao sexo, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p>0,05). Conclusões: o formato do rosto oval e tipo de sorriso "canto de boca" foram os mais encontrados, independentes do sexo. Para as distâncias mésio-distal e cérvico-incisal estes foram são maiores no sexo masculino e a distância intercanina maior no sexo feminino.
Introduction: the alignment, shape, color of the teeth and symmetry of the upper central incisors are the most desirable characteristics to possess an attractive and harmonic smile. But also the facial shape, lip contour and gingival exposure. Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the dimensions of the maxillary central incisors and the facial profile. Methods: the sample consisted of 58 students from the School of Dentistry, Federal University of Paraíba. In data analysis, it was used descriptive analysis and application of the Mann-Whitney and Chi-square test. The measurement of maxillary central incisors was performed with a caliper in mesiodistal and cervico-incisal dimension. The distance from the distal aspect of the distal surface 13 of the 23 were evaluated using dental floss and face shape and the kind of smile. Results: the majority were female (n = 35, 60.3 %), mean age 21.84 ± 2.9 years. Considering the shape of the face, the oval was the most prevalent (n = 31,54 %). Regarding the type of smile, the corner of his mouth was the highest record (n = 26 , 44.28 %). For the cervical-incisal distance, there was an average of 6.57 ± 1.23 mm and the mesiodistal distance, there was an average of 5.22 ± 1.07mm. For the average height and width of the ICS and distance from canine to canine with respect to gender, there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). Conclusions: the oval shape of the face and kind of smile corner of the mouth were the most commonly found, independent of gender, for mesiodistal and cervico-incisal distances are greater in males and increased in females intercanine distance.
