ABSTRACT

AIM: The aims of this study were: a) to verify if the instructions displayed on the packages and labels of dental plaster available for purchase in the city of Porto Alegre are in accordance with the Brazilian laws, and b) to analyze how information is available on packages and labels of dental plaster acquired by dentists. METHODS: For this study, it was used the method proposed by Silva et al. (2010) modified, according to which the information related to instructions for product use displayed on packages and labels, if present, provided by manufacturers and/or importers from each brand of plaster was reviewed: how to use, composition, price, expiration date, health risks and disposal instructions. The collected information was subsequently confronted with the requirements laid out in national legislation on trade of dental plaster. RESULTS: No product showed the price or the instructions for disposal. One brand showed no information of the package and another one showed only the composition of the product; this requirement was present in most products. The mode of use and the expiration date were present in almost all packages, except for two brands. Only two brands presented information on health risks, and yet unsatisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: The different brands and types of dental plaster analyzed presented some kind of violation of the provisions of the Brazilian legislation, most with missing or unsatisfactory information.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a prevalência das lesões não-cariosas dos tipos abrasão, atrição, erosão e abfração nos pacientes da clínica de Odontogeriatria da ULBRA - Canoas - RS. Todos os pacientes examinados estavam de acordo e cientes que poderiam ter sua cavidade bucal examinada, moldada e fotografada para comparar com outras, por interesse científico da Faculdade de Odontologia da ULBRA - Canoas, que por meio de seu Comitê Ético aprovou este estudo. Portanto, foram examinados todos os pacientes atendidos nesta disciplina durante os anos de 2001 e 2002, sendo eles avaliados por anamnese e exame clínico direcionado ao diagnóstico de tais lesões, além de documentação radiográfica e fotográfica, sendo que aqueles pacientes sem nenhum desgaste diagnosticado também fizeram parte da amostra. Os resultados mostram uma prevalência em ordem decrescente das lesões não-cariosas do tipo atrição, abfração, abrasão e erosão, com valores de 66, 20, 7, 0 casos, respectivamente. Dos 82 pacientes examinados, 13 não apresentaram nenhum tipo destes desgastes.
