ABSTRACT

This literature review reports the history and the current market of oral home-care products. It provides information extending from the products used by our ancestors to those currently available, as well as on the changes in the supply and consumption of these products. Although the scientific knowledge about oral diseases has improved greatly in recent years, our ancestors had already been concerned with cleaning their teeth. A variety of rudimentary products and devices were used since before recorded history, like chewing sticks, tree twigs, bird feathers, animal bones, tooth powder and home-made mouth rinses. Today, due to technological improvements of the cosmetic industry and market competition, home-use oral care products available in the marketplace offer a great variety of options. An increase in the consumption of oral care products has been observed in the last decades. Estimates show that Latin America observed a 12 percent increase in hygiene and beauty products sales between 2002 and 2003, whereas the observed global rate was approximately 2 percent. A significant increase in the per capita consumption of toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthrinse and dental floss has been estimated from 1992 to 2002, respectively at rates of 38.3 percent, 138.3 percent, 618.8 percent and 177.2 percent. Pertaining to this increased supply and consumption of oral care products, some related questions remain unanswered, like the occurrence of changes in disease behavior due to the use of new compounds, their actual efficacy and correct indications, and the extent of the benefits to oral health derived from consuming more products.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho buscou identificar, ao longo do tempo, os tipos de auxiliares em odontologia que influenciaram a construção de perfis para a regulamentação da profissão do Técnico em Higiene Dental no Brasil. Para tanto, embasou-se em levantamento de bibliografia nacional e estrangeira; em análise dos textos fundamentais da década de 60 e 70, para captura do espírito de cada época e das influências da mesma sobre o monopólio do exercício da odontologia, e em entrevistas com especialistas que vivenciaram o período em recorte. A partir da compreensão histórica dos tipos básicos e da observação de alterações ou inovações apontadas na divisão social do trabalho em odontologia, objetivou-se examinar os quatro perfis do THD desenhados no Brasil e propostos pelos Plano de Reorganização da Atenção Básica; Consolidação das Normas do Conselho Federal de Odontologia; Classificação Brasileira das Ocupações e Projeto de Lei 00003/2007, este último em trâmite no Senado para sua definitiva aprovação. Os perfis foram observados sob a luz das potenciais possibilidades de contribuição do THD na assistência restauradora, na prevenção às doenças e na promoção de saúde bucal, que, de acordo com experimentos clássicos sobre aumento de produtividade, justificariam ou não sua utilização no âmbito da assistência, em especial, na estratégia de Saúde da Família respondendo as necessidades sociais. Concluiu-se que todos os perfis exigem reparos, e que o desenho do perfil apresentado pelo PL 00003/2007 não se adequa ao objetivo de conferir a este profissional atribuições potencializadoras de ganhos econômicos para o sistema assistencial, além de limitar o profissional em suas funções assistenciais e preventivas.


This work aimed to identify basic types of dental auxiliaries that influenced the “Dental Hygiene Technician” (THD) in Brazil throughout the history. In order to achieve this, it searched national and international literature, analyzed documents of outstanding importancefrom the 60’s and 70’s to capture the feelings and influences of each period. Besides, interviews were done with experts who lived in each period. From a historical understanding of those basic types of dental auxiliaries this work examined “Dental Hygiene Technician”profiles in Brazil, as proposed by the “Plano de Reorganização da Atenção Básica”; “Consolidação das Normas” of the Federal Council of Dentistry; Brazilian Classification of Occupations and Law Project No 00003/2007. The last is still in the Senate for final approval. The profiles were observed to investigate possible contribution of the THD on clinical services, and prevention and promotion of oral health, which would or would not justify their useaccording to classic experiments regarding productivity, It was concluded that all profiles need changes, and the profile showed in PL 00003/2007 does not fit the objective to give thisprofessional tasks economic gains for the care system, in addition to limit the professional in their functions and preventive care.

ABSTRACT

Uma boca sorridente com dentes à mostra nem sempre foi bem-vinda no mundo das artes. Numa época sem hábitos de higiene e estética, ninguém teria orgulho em mostrar ou queria ver um patrimônio deteriorado. O tabu só começou a desaparecer em fins do século XVIII, quando a Odontologia começou a ser difundida
