Factors Associated with Toothache in Patients Affected by Hereditary Coagulopathies

Objective: To determine a probabilistic model that represents the likelihood of the event Dental Pain to occur in Brazilians patients affected by hereditary coagulopathies. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, information on use and access to dental services, oral morbidity, self-perceived oral health and behavioral health habits were obtained through semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed by means of logistic regression. Results: High prevalence of dental caries was observed for children aged 1-5 years (50%) and for adolescents aged 13-19 years (66%). Cumulative pattern of dental caries in the age groups of 20-35 years and 36-59 years was observed. Most patients did not report pain in the last six months prior to the survey (24.5%). It was observed that searching for dental care for the last time in case of localized pain (OR=26.7), for feeling uncomfortable when brushing teeth (OR=7.3) and difficulty searching for health professionals, not only the dentist (OR 3.7) was considered risk factors for the determination of Dental Pain diagnosis. However, if the patient has mild hemophilia A (OR=0.21), this likelihood decreases, being thus a protective factor. Conclusion: Patients affected by hereditary coagulopathies have high prevalence of caries, indicating the cumulative nature of this disease, which suggests the symptomatic effect of Dental Pain.

Evolução da cobertura em saúde bucal na estratégia saúde da família em municípios paraibanos / Evolution of the family health Strategy oral health coverage in municipalities in Paraíba

A institucionalização da Avaliação em Saúde vem crescendo nas últimas décadas no Brasil, contribuindo para a racionalidade das intervenções setoriais da gestão em saúde. Este estudo avaliou a evolução da cobertura em saúde bucal na Estratégia Saúde da Família em municípios paraibanos, classificando-os em três categorias: satisfatório, intermediário e insatisfatório, a partir de indicadores disponibilizados nos sistemas de informações, nos anos de 2004 a 2010. Para tanto, adotou-se uma abordagem indutiva com procedimento estatístico-comparativo e técnicasa de documentação indireta, utilizando os indicadores: cobertura populacional potencial, para Equipes de Saúde da Família (ESF) e Equipes de Saúde Bucal (ESB). O universo constituiu-se dos 223 municípios do estado da Paraíba. Os dados foram analisados por meio do teste do Qui-Quadrado (p<0,05). Constatou-se um aumento significante (p<0,01) da cobertura referente às ESF e ESB. A cobertura populacional potencial para ESF em 2004 foi satisfatória 77,13% (n=172) dos municípios e em 99,10% (n=221) no ano de 2010. Em relação à ESB, também satisfatórianos anos de 2004 e 2010, respectivamente, em 68,16% (n=152) e 96,41% (n=215) das localidades. Conclui-se quede 2004 a 2010, houve aumento no número de municípios paraibanos com cobertura populacional potencial satisfatória das ESF e das ESB.

The institutionalization of health assessment has been growing in recent decades in Brazil, contributing to the rationality of sectorial interventions in health administration. This study evaluated the evolution of oral health coverage in the Family Health Program in municipalities in Paraíba, classifying them into three categories: satisfactory, intermediate, and unsatisfactory, using indicators provided in information systems, between 2004 and 2010. To this end, we adopted an inductive approach with a comparative-statistical procedure and an indirect documentation technique, using the indicators: population coverage potential, for Family Health Teams (FHT) and Oral Health Teams (OHT). The universe consisted of the 223 municipalities in the state of Paraiba. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test (p <0.05). A significant increase (p <0.01) of coverage for the FHT and OHT was observed. The potential population coverage for the FHT was a satisfactory 77.13% (n=172) of the municipalities in 2004, and 99.10% (n=221) in 2010. In relation to the OHT, the coverage was also satisfactory in 2004 and 2010, respectively, in 68.16% (n=152) and 96.41% (n=215) of the localities. It is concluded that, from 2004 to 2010, there was an increase in the number of Paraiba's municipalities with satisfactory population coverage potential of the FHT and OHT.

Tooth loss and associated factors in patients with coagulopathies in the State of Paraiba, Brazil

BACKGROUND The most common and best known hereditary coagulopathies are hemophilia A and B followed by von Willebrand Disease. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of tooth loss and investigate its association with demographic and socioeconomic data, as well as to discuss self-reported oral morbidity and use of health services by patients with coagulopathies treated in blood centers in Paraíba, Brazil. METHODS This was a quantitative cross-sectional epidemiological survey. Data was collected in the period from October 2011 to July 2012 by clinical examination and by assessing interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics with the level of significance (α) being set at 10%. RESULTS One hundred and six, predominantly male (88.8%), patients with coagulopathies were evaluated. The ages ranged from one to 59 years. Most patients were of mixed race (61.3%), most reported family incomes between R$ 501.00 and R$ 1500.00 (49.1%), and most had not completed elementary school (37.1%). Hemophilia A was found in 76.4% of the cases. The prevalence of dental caries among individuals was 50.0% predominantly in the 13- to 19-year-old age range (66.7%). As regards to tooth loss, teeth were missing in 35.1% of the study participants. CONCLUSION Tooth loss is high in this population. Males with severe hemophilia A, those who use fluoride and have a good or very good perception about their last dental appointment have a reduced chance of losing their teeth.
