ABSTRACT
Resumo Avaliou-se a insatisfação com os serviços odontológicos entre idosos brasileiros dentados e edentados e sua associação com variáveis contextuais e individuais. Foram utilizados os dados do Levantamento Nacional de Saúde bucal realizado em 2010 e dados contextuais referentes aos municípios. Análises descritivas, bivariadas e multinível foram realizadas. Incluiu-se 1.989 idosos. Destes, 11,2% dos idosos dentados e 22,1% dos edentados estavam insatisfeitos. Entre os dentados, a insatisfação foi associada com variáveis contextuais (localização do município, índice de desenvolvimento humano, Índice de GINI, presença de Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas e cobertura das equipes de saúde bucal) e individuais pertencentes à atenção à saúde e condições de saúde bucal. Para os idosos edentados, não foi identificado associação com variáveis contextuais. Apenas o motivo do uso do serviço e a satisfação com dentes e boca foram associados. Identificou-se uma prevalência considerável de insatisfação com os serviços, sendo maior entre os idosos edentados. Entre os idosos dentados, foi observado associação com variáveis contextuais.
Abstract The scope of this study was to evaluate dissatisfaction with dental services among dentate and edentulous elderly Brazilians and its association with contextual and individual variables. The data from the National Oral Health Survey conducted in 2010 and contextual variables related to cities were used. Descriptive, bivariate and multilevel analysis was conducted among 1,989 elderly individuals. Of these, 11.2% of dentate and 22.1% of edentulous elderly people were dissatisfied. Among the dentate individuals, dissatisfaction was associated with contextual variables (location of municipality, human development index, GINI Index, the presence of Dental Specialty Centers and the coverage of oral health in public service) and persons related to health care and oral health conditions. For the edentulous individuals, no associated contextual variables were identified. Only the motive for the use of the service and satisfaction with teeth and mouth were associated with dissatisfaction with dental services. A considerable prevalence of dissatisfaction with the services was identified, being higher among edentulous elderly Brazilians. Among dentate elderly Brazilians, an association with contextual variables was detected.

Resumo Introdução A falta de dentição funcional compromete a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos, podendo refletir nas suas percepções, incluindo a autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento odontológico. No entanto, essa relação ainda não é bem esclarecida na literatura. Objetivo Avaliar se a falta de dentição funcional em adultos está associada à autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento odontológico. Método Foi realizado estudo transversal analítico, no qual foram utilizados dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal, realizada no ano de 2010. A faixa etária avaliada foi de 35 a 44 anos. Após análise bivariada e múltipla, foi verificada a associação entre a falta de dentição funcional e outras variáveis, como a autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento, as condições sociodemográficas e os desfechos em saúde. Resultados Dos 9.564 adultos, aproximadamente 20% dos indivíduos não possuíam dentição funcional. A falta de dentição funcional foi menor em adultos que perceberam a necessidade de tratamento odontológico (OR:0,55; IC95%:0,39-0,75). O sexo feminino (OR:1,76; IC95%:1,39-2,22), a idade mais avançada (OR:2,53; IC95%:2,01-3,18) e a menor escolaridade (OR:0,82; IC95%:0,79-0,85) estavam associados à falta de dentição funcional. Conclusão A falta de dentição funcional é maior em adultos que não têm autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento odontológico.
Abstract Introduction The absence of functional dentition compromises people´s quality of life, reflecting on their perceptions, including the self-perceived need for dental treatment in adults. However, this relation is not very clear in literature. Objective To evaluate if the absence of functional dentition is associated to the self-perceived need for dental treatment in adults. Method Analytical cross-sectional study was performed, in which data of the National Oral Health Survey conducted in 2010 was used. The age group evaluated was 35 to 44 years. After bivariate and multivariate analyzes, the association between the absence of functional dentition and other variables as the self-perceived need for dental treatment, sociodemographic conditions and health endpoints was verified. Results From the 9.564 adults, approximately 20% of the individuals did not show functional dentition. The absence of functional dentition was lower in adults who were aware of the self-perceived need for dental treatment (OR:0.55; IC95%:0.39-0.75). The female gender (OR:1.76; IC95%:1.39-2.22), older age (OR:2.53; IC95%:2.01-3.18) and lower schooling (OR:0.82; IC95%:0.79-0.85) were associated with the absence of functional dentition. Conclusion The absence of functional dentition is greater in adults who do not have self-perceived need for dental treatment.
ABSTRACT
Abstract: Data about total fluoride intake in children living in a tropical semi-arid climate city is scarce, thus we conducted this study. Fifty-eight children aged two to five years, living in a Brazilian tropical city with optimally fluoridated water were selected. Dietary samples were collected using the duplicate diet method on two non-consecutive days in the children's home toothpaste was determined by subtracting the amount of fluoride recovered after brushing from the amount placed on the toothbrush. The mean total dose (SD) of fluoride intake was 0.043(0.016) mg F·kg-1·d-1, with the major (60.6%) contribution from water. The factors associated with the ingestion of fluoride from toothpaste were fluoride concentration of the toothpaste (p = 0.03) and the use of kids toothpaste (p = 0.02). The findings suggest that children have a low fluoride intake, measured by at-home meals and use of fluoride toothpaste; drinking water is the main source of fluoride ingestion.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar se diferentes graus de fluorose dentária estão associados à presença de traumatismo dentário entre escolares. Trata-se de um estudo transversal conduzido entre escolares de 12 anos. Os exames foram realizados por 24 cirurgiões-dentistas treinados e calibrados. A coleta de dados ocorreu em 36 escolas públicas sorteadas entre as 89 do município. Adotou-se como critério de diagnóstico para fluorose dentária o Índice de Dean e para o traumatismo dentário considerou-se sinais clínicos de fraturas coronárias e avulsão dentária. Foram conduzidas análises descritivas, bivariadas e múltiplas. Entre os 2755 escolares incluídos, 1089 (39,6%) foram diagnosticados com fluorose dentária e 106 (3,8%) possuíam um dente ou mais com traumatismo. Identificou-se maior prevalência da fluorose dentária, independente do grau de severidade, entre indivíduos com um dente ou mais com traumatismo dentário. Essa associação foi mais forte com os graus mais severos de fluorose. Além disso, constatou-se que a presença de fluorose foi maior entre aqueles com autopercepção da presença de manchas nos dentes e que recebiam assistência odontológica na escola. Portanto, a fluorose dentária foi associada à presença de traumatismo dentário, independente de sua severidade.
Abstract Our objective was to evaluate whether there is an association with the different levels of dental fluorosis and the presence of dental trauma amongst school children. A transversal study was conducted amongst school children from the age of 12. Dental examinations were conducted by 24 well trained and fully qualified dental surgeons. Data was collected from 36 randomly selected public schools amongst 89 schools in a municipality. The criteria used to diagnose dental fluorosis was based on the Dean’s fluorosis Index and for diagnosing dental trauma we looked for clinical signs of crown fractures and dental avulsions. Multiple descriptive analysis, which was bivariate, was carried out. Amongst the 2,755 school children that took part in the study 1,089 (39.6%) were diagnosed with dental fluorosis and 106 (3.8%) had one tooth or more with dental trauma. We noted a high prevalence of dental fluorosis, independent of the level of severity, amongst individuals with one tooth or more who had dental trauma. This association was even more evident where there were severely high levels of fluorosis. We also noted that the presence of fluorosis was greater amongst those that actively paid more attention to discoloration on their teeth and who received treatment from a dental professional at their schools. Nevertheless dental fluorosis was associated with the presence of dental trauma, independent of its severity.
