Adaptación y validación en adultos peruanos del instrumento Perfil de impacto de la salud oral / Adaptation and validation of the tool Oral Health Impact Profile in Peruvian adults

Introducción: La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud oral es un indicador relevante de salud pública; por lo tanto, es necesario contar con instrumentos para su medición, contextualizados y con adecuadas propiedades métricas. Objetivo: Adaptar y validar el instrumento Perfil de impacto de la salud oral en la calidad de vida en una muestra de adultos peruanos. Métodos: Estudio de tipo instrumental, participaron 415 adultos de la provincia de Ica, Perú. Se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio para valorar la estructura interna de la escala y un análisis factorial confirmatorio que incluyó el método de estimación de máxima verosimilitud robusta. Luego se evaluó la confiabilidad del instrumento y, finalmente, se comparó el impacto de la salud bucal en la calidad de vida, según variables de caracterización. Resultados: Se obtuvo una versión de 14 ítems agrupados en siete factores que explicaron el 88,50 por ciento de la varianza total y un ajuste aceptable, x2/gl = 3,72; NNFI = 0,98; CFI = 0,99; SRMR = 0,031; RMSEA =0,081 (IC 90 por ciento: 0,070-0,093). La consistencia interna de la escala global mostró un índice satisfactorio (α = 0,95) y las subescalas valores que oscilaron entre α = 0,88 y α=0,78; con excepción de la dimensión malestar psicológico (α = 0,66). La validez discriminante fue demostrada al encontrar diferencias significativas entre las variables sociodemográficas y los puntajes de severidad. Conclusiones: La nueva versión del instrumento presenta propiedades métricas aceptables, por lo tanto, puede ser usado en futuras investigaciones y estudios de validación(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: Oral health-related quality of life is a relevant public health indicator. Therefore, its measurement should be performed with contextualized tools and appropriate metric techniques. Objective: Adapt and validate the tool Oral Health Impact Profile in the quality of life of a sample of Peruvian adults. Methods: An instrumental study was conducted of 415 adults from the province of Ica, Peru. The internal structure of the scale was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was also performed, which included robust maximum likelihood estimation. The reliability of the tool was then tested, and a comparison was finally made of the impact of oral health on quality of life, according to characterization variables. Results: The version obtained consists of 14 items grouped into seven factors explaining 88.50 percent of the total variance and an acceptable fit, x2/gl = 3.72; NNFI = 0.98; CFI = 0.99; SRMR = 0.031; RMSEA = 0.081 (CI 90 percent: 0.070-0.093). Internal consistency of the overall scale exhibited a satisfactory index (α = 0.95), whereas the subscales showed values of α = 0.88-0.78, except for the dimension of psychological distress (α = 0.66). Discriminant validity was demonstrated by finding significant differences between sociodemographic variables and severity scores. Conclusions: The new version of the tool has acceptable metric properties. Therefore, it may be used in future research and validation studies(AU)

Dental Status of Firefighters of Rio de Janeiro State and Comparison with Brazilian Oral Health Surveys

ABSTRACT Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess clinical dental status in military firefighters of Rio de Janeiro State and compare data with Brazilian National and Regional oral health surveys. Material and Methods: A sample of 926 military firefighters was examined using the visible biofilm index, the DMFT index and the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Clinical exams were performed by 15 trained dentists. The Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test with Bonferroni correction were used. Results: Higher biofilm accumulation was associated with increased age. The mean DMFT index for the whole sample of this study was 12.74 (±7.03), and the 'filled' component was the most prevalent (69.9%), whereas the 'decayed' and 'missing' components were, respectively, 8.4% and 21.7%. There was a higher prevalence of periodontal diseases with increasing age, ranging from 57.1% in firefighters of 34 years or less to 70.5% in the ones between 35 and 44 years old and 75.4% in participants at age 45 years or older. Clinical dental status of the military firefighters who belonged to the age group 35-44 was better than the one observed for the Brazilian population at the same age range. However, pathological conditions that can be solved with health promotion strategies associated with dental procedures of low complexity still persist. Conclusion: These results suggest that the availability of dental health care services itself does not represent the most effective approach to the oral health problems found in the studied population.

Disparities in Caries Experience and Socio-Behavioural Risk Indicators Among Private School Children in Lagos, Nigeria

Abstract Objective: To determine the prevalence and socio-behavioural risk factors for dental caries among children at selected LGAs in Lagos State. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive study of 592 school children in four Local Government Areas of Lagos, Nigeria. The presence of caries was recorded using the World Health Organization criteria. Descriptive statistics were reported for analysis of comparative DMFT and SiC scores in relation to age, gender, and other socio-demographic variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the differential impact of the variables on the probability of being in the high caries prevalence group. Results: The prevalence of dental caries was 16.0% with mean dmft for age 6 being 1.3 ± 1.57 while the mean DMFT for age 12 was 0.15 ± 0.67. The mean Sic for age 6 was 1.5 ± 0.53 while the mean SiC for age 12 was 1.09 ± 0.29. The mean SiC values was significantly higher in the primary and permanent dentition among those who had never visited the dentist, female students, those who don't use fluoridated toothpaste and those who eat sweets and candy several times a day. After logistic regression analysis, those with no previous dental visit (OR=3.05; CI: 1.72-4.67) and females (OR=1.55; CI: 1.16-1.62) still had significantly higher SiC Values. Conclusion: The prevalence of caries was low in the study population. Being female, non-use of fluoride-containing toothpaste and not visiting the dentist were significant predictors of dental caries among children attending private schools.

Oral Hygiene and Dental Caries Status on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the oral hygiene and dental caries status on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients, also it's with SLE disease activity. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted on 93 SLE patients from 2017 to 2019 on Saiful Anwar Hospital Indonesia. All SLE patients had clinical examination using DMF-T, Personal Hygiene Performance-Modified (PHP-M), Calculus Index (CI), Debris Index (DI), Plaque Index (PI) and Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S). Clinical examination and laboratory tests are conducted to assess the activity of SLE measured using. The data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA test. Results: A total of 74% of subjects with SLE had dental caries. PHP-M with SLE severity was found significant (p<0.001) and a strong positive correlation (r=0.982). Plaque with SLE severity was found significant (p=0.001) and a strong positive correlation (r=0.938). OHI-S with SLE severity was found significant (p<0.001) and a strong positive correlation (r=0.953). DMF-T levels with SLE severity was found significant (p=0.001) and a strong positive correlation (r=0.974). It showed that the severity of disease activity was related to poor oral hygiene and a high incidence of dental caries. Conclusion: There is a correlation between oral hygiene, dental caries and SLE severity.

Association Between Psychosocial Status and Orthodontic Treatment Needs in Indonesian High School Students

Abstract Objective: To determine whether psychosocial status is associated with orthodontic treatment needs in high school students using the Psychosocial Impact of the Dental Aesthetic Questionnaire (PIDAQ) and the Index of Orthodontic Need (IOTN). Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 95 adolescents, both genders, aged 15-17 years old. PIDAQ was used to assess psychosocial status. The IOTN Aesthetic Component (IOTN-AC) and the IOTN Dental Health Component (DHC) was used to assess treatment needs. Examination of the oral cavity was carried out with the help of the IOTN ruler by observing the MOCDO components: missing teeth, overjet, crossbite, displacement, and overbite. The Chi-square test was used to determine the association of psychosocial status and orthodontic treatment need. The reliability test was carried out by using Cronbach's Alpha test (0.978). Results: There was an association between psychosocial status and orthodontic treatment need based on the IOTN-AC (p=0.001) and between psychosocial status and orthodontic treatment need based on the IOTN-DHC (p=0.140). Conclusion: There is an association between psychosocial status based on the PIDAQ and subjective orthodontic treatment need based on the IOTN-AC, but there is no association between psychosocial status based on the PIDAQ and objective orthodontic treatment need based on the IOTN-DHC in students of SMAN 27 Jakarta.

RESUMEN Introducción: El proceso salud-enfermedad en el adulto mayor está influenciado directamente por los determinantes sociales de la salud, por tanto, la salud bucal no escapa de ello. Objetivo: Determinar el comportamiento de los determinantes sociales y las condiciones de salud bucal en adultos mayores. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 339 individuos de 60 años y más del Consultorio No. 5 del Policlínico Plaza de la Revolución, durante el periodo comprendido desde mayo de 2015 a enero 201. Se utilizó el interrogatorio y el examen clínico de la cavidad bucal, previo consentimiento informado de los participantes. Las variables estudiadas fueron: edad, sexo, ocupación, bienestar económico, estructura y funcionamiento familiar, condiciones de la vivienda, hábitos alimentarios y condiciones de salud bucal. Resultados: El grupo de edad más representado fue el de 60 a 69 años con el 53,4 por ciento, con predominio del sexo femenino. Solo el 27,9 por ciento de los adultos mayores que trabajaban tenían buenas condiciones de salud bucal y más del 60 por ciento de los examinados que refirieron no tener bienestar económico, presentaron una salud bucal regular. Predominaron las familias funcionales con condiciones de salud bucal evaluadas de buena y regular. El 73,5 por ciento de los que habitaban en viviendas en buen estado presentaron también buenas condiciones de salud bucal. Los adultos mayores con buenas condiciones de salud bucal representaron el 82,4 por ciento de los que poseen hábitos alimentarios adecuados. Conclusiones: El comportamiento favorable de los determinantes analizados pone de manifiesto su influencia positiva sobre el estado de salud bucal de los adultos mayores(AU)

ABSTRACT Introduction: The health-disease relationship in the elderly is directly influenced by social health determinants, and such influence includes oral health. Objective: Determine the behavior of social determinants and oral health conditions in the elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted of 339 subjects aged 60 years and over from Consultation Office No. 5 of Plaza de la Revolución Polyclinic from May 2015 to January 2016. The study was based on interrogation and clinical examination of the oral cavity, prior informed consent by participants. The variables analyzed were age, sex, occupation, economic status, family structure and functioning, housing conditions, eating habits and oral health conditions. Results: The 60-69 age group was the best represented (53.4 percent), with a predominance of the female sex. Only 27.9 percent of the elderly people who had a regular job had good oral health conditions, and more than 60 percent of the patients examined who reported a low economic status had fair oral health conditions. There was a predominance of functional families with oral health conditions evaluated as good or fair. 73.5 percent of those with good housing conditions also had good oral health conditions. Elderly patients with good oral health conditions represented 82.4 percent of those with adequate eating habits. Conclusions: The favorable behavior of the determinants analyzed reflects their positive influence on the oral health status of elderly people(AU)

Sampling strategy of an epidemiological survey using a satellite image program

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To describe the sampling strategy of an epidemiological survey with the aid of satellite images, including details of the multistage probability sampling process. METHODS A probability sample of individuals living in the rural area of Rosário do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, aged 15 years old or more, was evaluated. Participants answered questionnaires (medical history, sociodemographic characteristics, habits, alcohol use, quality of life, stress, rumination, and self-perceived periodontal diseases), and were subjected to clinical oral examinations as well as anthropometric measurements (blood pressure, height, weight, abdominal and waist circumferences). Oral evaluation comprehended a complete periodontal exam at six sites per tooth, including the following assessments: furcation involvement; dental abrasion; tooth decay, including the indexing of missing and filled surfaces; O'Brien index; gingival abrasion; oral cavity and lip lesions; complete periapical radiographic exam, and use of prostheses. Besides this oral clinical approach, subgingival plaque, crevicular gingival fluid, saliva, and blood samples were collected. Examiners were trained and calibrated during previous evaluations. A pilot study allowed the logistic of the performed exams to be adjusted as needed. RESULTS Among 1,087 eligible individuals, 688 were examined (63.3%). Age, sex, and skin color data were compared to data from the last demographic census (2010) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, which served to validate the sampling strategy. CONCLUSIONS The careful methods used in this study, in which satellite images were used in the delimitation of epidemiological areas, ensure the quality of the estimates obtained and allow for these estimates to be used in oral health surveillance and health policies improvements.

Income inequalities in oral health and access to dental services in the Brazilian population: National Health Survey, 2013 / Desigualdades de renda na saúde bucal e no acesso aos serviços odontológicos na população brasileira: Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, 2013

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Despite the improvement in oral health conditions observed in the Brazilian population, there are still high social inequalities that must be monitored. Objective: To evaluate income inequality in oral hygiene practices, oral health status and the use of dental services in the adult and senior Brazilian population. Methods: Data from the National Health Survey conducted in 2013 (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde - PNS 2013) were used for the population aged 18 years old or older. Results: Inequalities were found among the income strata in most of the oral health indicators evaluated. The greatest inequalities were observed in the use of dental floss, in hygiene practices (PR = 2.85 in adults and PR = 2.45 in seniors), and in total tooth loss (PR = 6.74 in adults and PR = 2.24 in seniors) and difficulty in chewing (PR = 4.49 in adults and PR = 2.67 in seniors) among oral condition indicators. The magnitude of inequalities was high in both groups in most oral condition indicators. Income was a factor that persisted in limiting access to dental services, and even the lower income segments had high percentages that paid for dental consultations. Conclusion: Based on data from the first PNS, the findings of this study enabled the identification of oral health and dental care aspects more compromised by income differentials, thus, contributing to the planning of dental care in Brazil and to stimulate the monitoring of these disparities with data from future surveys.

RESUMO: Introdução: Apesar da melhora das condições de saúde bucal constatada na população brasileira, persistem elevadas desigualdades sociais que precisam ser monitoradas. Objetivo: Avaliar a desigualdade de renda nas práticas de higiene bucal, nas condições bucais e no uso de serviços odontológicos na população brasileira de adultos e idosos. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde realizada em 2013 (PNS 2013) referentes à população de 18 anos ou mais. Resultados: Detectaram-se desigualdades entre os estratos de renda na maioria dos indicadores de saúde bucal avaliados. As desigualdades de maior magnitude foram verificadas no uso de fio dental, nas práticas de higiene (RP = 2,85 nos adultos e RP = 2,45 nos idosos), e na perda de todos os dentes (RP = 6,74 nos adultos e RP = 2,24 nos idosos) e dificuldade de mastigar (RP = 4,49 nos adultos e RP = 2,67 nos idosos) entre os indicadores de condições bucais. Na maioria dos indicadores de condições bucais a magnitude das desigualdades foi elevada em ambos os grupos. A renda mostrou-se um fator que persiste limitando o acesso aos serviços odontológicos e, mesmo os segmentos de menor renda apresentaram elevados percentuais que pagam por consulta odontológica. Conclusão: Por meio dos dados da primeira PNS, os achados do estudo permitiram identificar aspectos de saúde e de atenção bucais mais comprometidos pelos diferenciais de renda, podendo, nesse sentido, contribuir para o planejamento da assistência odontológica no país e para estimular o monitoramento destas disparidades com dados das próximas pesquisas.

Perfil de saúde bucal de idosos não institucionalizados e sua associaçãocom autoavaliação da saúde bucal / Oral health profile among community-dwellingelderly and its association with self-rated oral health

RESUMO: Introdução: O uso de prótese e a perda dentária em idosos estão associados a impactos significativos na saúde geral e na qualidade de vida. A avaliação contínua do perfil de saúde bucal dessa população é importante para o planejamento das ações e políticas da área. Objetivo: Foram objetivos deste trabalho avaliar a prevalência de perda dentária e uso de próteses entre idosos em diferentes períodos, verificar as características sociodemográficas associadas à dentição funcional (mais de 20 dentes) e avaliar o impacto do uso de prótese e da perda dentária na autoavaliação da saúde bucal. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por pessoas de 60 anos ou mais, participantes do Estudo Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE). A avaliação da prevalência de perda dental e uso de próteses foi feita a partir da comparação dos dados coletados nos anos de 2000, 2006 e 2010. As análises dos fatores associados à dentição funcional e autoavaliação de saúde bucal foram realizadas com base nos dados coletados no ano de 2010. A comparação do perfil de saúde bucal ao longo dos três períodos foi feita por meio de análises descritivas e comparação de intervalos de confiança. Realizou-se análise de regressão logística múltipla para avaliar os fatores associados à dentição funcional e à autoavaliação da saúde bucal. Resultados: A prevalência de perda dental e uso de próteses se manteve constante ao longo dos três anos analisados. A dentição funcional foi significativamente associada à escolaridade, sexo e cor/gênero. Idosos com necessidade de próteses e bolsa periodontal apresentaram mais chances de autoavaliação ruim. Conclusão: Não houve redução da prevalência de perda dentária e uso de próteses ao longo de dez anos na população estudada. A dentição funcional está associada a desigualdades sociodemográficas. A autoavaliação de saúde bucal está associada à necessidade de próteses.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The use of dental prosthesis and the tooth loss in elderly people are associated with significant impact on the overall health and quality of life. Continuous assessment of oral health profile in this population is important for planning the actions and policies of the area. Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of tooth loss and use of dental prosthesis among the elderly people in different periods, to evaluate the association between functional dentition (20 teeth or more) and socioeconomic factors, and to evaluate the impact of tooth loss and use of dental prosthesis on self-rated oral health. Methods: Thesample consisted of people aged 60 years and older who participated in the Health, Well-Being, and Aging Study (SABE). Data from the years 2000, 2006, and 2010 were used to assess the prevalence of tooth loss and use of dental prosthesis. Analysis of the factors associated with the functional dentition and self-rated oral health was based on the data collected in 2010. Comparison of oral health profile over the 3 years was done through descriptive analysis and comparison of confidence intervals. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the factors associated with functional dentition and self-rated oral health. Results: The prevalence of tooth loss and use of dental prosthesis remained constant over the three periods analyzed. Functional dentition was significantly associated with education, sex, and race/gender. Individuals in need of dental prosthesis and with periodontal pocket were more likely to report poor oral health. Conclusion: There was no reduction in the prevalence of tooth loss and in the use of dental prosthesis over 10 years. Functional dentition is associated with socioeconomic inequalities. Self-rated oral health is associated with the need of dental prosthesis.

Longitudinal impact of clinical and socioenvironmental variables on oral health-related quality of life in adolescents

Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of oral diseases, socioeconomic status, and family environmental factors on changes in the perception of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adolescents. A prospective cohort study was conducted in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a sample of 286 twelve-year-old adolescents from public and private schools, selected by means of multistage random sampling. The adolescents were clinically examined for dental caries experience (number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth - DMFT index), presence of bleeding, and orthodontic treatment needs. They were asked to complete the Brazilian version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14). In addition, parents answered a questionnaire about their socioeconomic status and family environmental characteristics. After 3 years, the adolescents were contacted again to participate in the research. Logistic regression models, with explanatory variables assessed both individually and jointly, were used to determine which independent variables impacted longitudinally on OHRQoL. The final result demonstrated that only DMFT explained part of the response variability in CPQ11-14 scores. In conclusion, caries experience was an important predictor of OHRQoL in adolescents followed up for 3 years.

Training and calibration of interviewers for oral health literacy using the BREALD-30 in epidemiological studies

Abstract The objective of this study was to describe an interviewer training and calibration method to evaluate oral health literacy using the Brazilian Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry (BREALD-30) in epidemiological studies. An experienced researcher (gold standard) conducted all training sessions. The interviewer training and calibration sessions included three different phases: theoretical training, practical training, and calibration. In the calibration phase, six interviewers (dentists) independently assessed 15 videos of individuals who had different levels of oral health literacy. Accuracy and reproducibility were evaluated using the kappa coefficient and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The percentage of agreement for each word in the instrument was also calculated. After training, the kappa values were higher than 0.911 and 0.893 for intra- and inter-rater agreement, respectively. When the results were analyzed separately for the different levels of literacy, the lowest agreement rate was found when evaluating the videos of individuals with low literacy (K = 0.871), but still within the range considered to be near-perfect agreement. The ICC values were higher than 0.990 and 0.975 for intra- and inter-rater agreement, respectively. The lowest percentage of agreement was 86.6% for the word "hipoplasia" (hypoplasia). This interviewer training and calibration method proved to be feasible and effective. Therefore, it can be used as a methodological tool in studies assessing oral health literacy using the BREALD-30.

Parental influence on children's answers to an oral-health-related quality of life questionnaire

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate parental influence on children's answers to an oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaire. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 84 pairs of 5-year-olds and parents/guardians. The participants were selected from a primary family healthcare center in Campina Grande, Brazil. First, the children and parents answered respective versions of the Scale of Oral Health Outcomes for Five-Year-Old Children (SOHO-5). Seven days later, the children answered their version of the SOHO-5, without the presence of their parents/guardians, and underwent a clinical exam of dental caries, traumatic dental injury and malocclusion, by a previously calibrated researcher. Statistical analysis involved a comparison of mean scores and the calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Poisson regression models were used to associate the variables (α = 5%). No significant differences were found between the mean SOHO-5 scores of the children when alone or accompanied by parents/guardians (p > 0.05). The ICC between the answers of the children alone or accompanied was 0.84. White spot (PR = 6.32; 95%CI: 1.36 - 29.40) and cavitated lesions (PR = 9.81; 95%CI: 3.22 - 29.85) had an impact on OHRQoL, according to the children's self-report, whereas cavitated lesions (PR = 90.52; 95%CI: 13.26 - 617.74) and anterior open bite (PR = 1.95; 95%IC: 1.07 - 3.53) remained on the final model, according to the parents' version of the SOHO-5. In conclusion, parents did not influence the children's responses, and dental caries are the oral health problem exerting the greatest impact on the children's OHRQoL.

Análise do desempenho das equipes de saúde bucal na estratégia saúde da família no Brasil: um estudo misto / Evaluating primary dental care in Brazil: a mixed methods study

A Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) constitui o principal modelo de organização da Atenção Primária (APS) no Brasil. A Saúde Bucal foi inserida na ESF em 2001 com a criação das equipes de saúde bucal (ESB) como área prioritária diante da necessidade de melhorar as condições de saúde bucal da população. Na última década, observou-se uma expressiva expansão da ESF com o alcance de serviços chegando a cerca de 63% da população brasileira em 2016. Com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade dos serviços da ESF, o Ministério da Saúde lançou em 2011 o Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB). O principal desafio do PMAQ é instituir uma cultura de avaliação entre os profissionais e gestores da ESF que monitore e avalie processos e resultados das equipes. O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever as ações de APS realizadas pelas ESB no Brasil e compreender aspectos que levam ao diferente desempenho das ESB. Para isso, foi desenvolvido um estudo misto explanatório sequencial. Na fase quantitativa, análise descritiva e de cluster foram aplicadas em dados do PMAQ-AB para descrever a produção de 12.403 ESB. Também foi utilizada a Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI) para avaliar as qualidades psicométricas de 20 questões de saúde bucal do PMAQ-AB. Resultados da TRI foram usados para selecionar ESB com desempenhos extremos para a próxima fase. Na fase qualitativa foi realizado um estudo descritivo em dez ESB da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte com desempenhos extremos classificados pela TRI na fase anterior. Os resultados quantitativos demonstraram que as ESB realizam procedimentos clínicos da odontologia básica, mas fazem menos reabilitação com próteses e coordenação do cuidado de câncer bucal. A análise da TRI demonstrou que os itens do questionário foram insuficientes para discriminar ESB de alto e baixo desempenho. No entanto, foi observado que ESB de alto desempenho tendem a realizar ações de prevenção e acompanhamento de câncer e confecção de prótese na APS. Os resultados da fase qualitativa confirmaram que ESB de alto desempenho tendem a trabalhar mais ações de promoção e prevenção de câncer de boca, inclusive utilizando contatos pessoais para encaminhar pacientes para serviço especializado. Já em relação à questão da prótese na APS, os dados qualitativos confirmaram os achados quantitativos e demonstraram que ESB de alto desempenho fazem prótese na APS, garantindo a reabilitação do usuário

The Family Health Strategy is the main organizational model of primary health care in Brazil. Dental care was included in the FHS in 2001 as a priority area due to the need to improve the oral health status of the population, and the oral health teams were created. In the last decade, there was a significant expansion of the ESF with the range of services reaching about 63% of the population in 2016. In 2011, the Brazilian Ministry of Health launched a program to assess the quality of FHS Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e Qualidade da Atenção Básica ­ PMAQ-AB. The main challenge of PMAQ-AB was to stimulate a culture of evaluation among FHS professionals and managers who evaluate processes and outcomes of the teams. This study aimed to describe the actions performed at primary health care by oral health teams in Brazil and to understand factors that contribute to different performance of each team. For this, a mixed sequential explanatory study was developed. In the quantitative phase, we undertook descriptive statistics and cluster analysis to describe the production of 12,403 OHTs, and applied Item Response Theory (IRT) to assess survey's 20 dental care questions psychometric properties. IRT results were used to sample OHTs with extreme scores performance to the next phase. In the qualitative phase, we used descriptive approach applying thematic analysis in 10 dentists from extreme performance OHTs. Quantitative results showed OHTs provided basic dentistry clinical care, but underprovided rehabilitation with dentures and oral cancer care coordination. IRT analysis showed survey limitation to discriminate OHTs performance, except for rehabilitation with dentures and oral cancer-related items that tend to discriminate high-performance OHTs. Qualitative data showed barriers to access oral health services and failures for integrating oral cancer delivery services. Dentists' empathy and altruism determine the quality of oral cancer care coordination by means of their own network to refer patients suspect of oral cancer. OHTs that deliver dentures know better the population rehabilitation needs. Mixed method results showed the improvements in oral health services in Brazil, but pointed that in low performance OHT, patients face multiples barriers to access services. Also, low performance OHT failed to following oral câncer patients, and provided dentures

General health and oral health status in elderly dental patients in Isparta, Turkey

The aim of this study was to describe the oral health, general health status and medication use of elderly dental patients 709 voluntary patients, aged 60 years and over, who attended Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Dentistry for routine dental treatment between March 2008 and April 2009 in Isparta, Turkey, were interviewed for demographic data, systemic diseases, and lists of medications. The majority of the patients [84.4%] had poor oral hygiene according to the Oral Hygiene Index [OHI]. The mean level of the study population's decayed, missing, and filled teeth [DMFT] index score was 19.1 +/- 7.3. The prevalence of systemic diseases was high [90%]. Women were affected by a significantly higher incidence of systemic diseases than men [96.4% vs. 84.3%; P < 0.001]. The percentage of the elderly taking medication regularly was 72.6%. Drug adverse effects were determined in 25.5% of the study population, with more adverse effects observed in women [53.3%] than men [46.7%] [P < 0.001]. Dentists must be aware of the dental implications that may arise from systemic diseases and medications and should properly modify elderly patients' treatment accordingly

Differential diagnosis of dental fluorosis made by undergraduate dental students / Diagnóstico diferencial de fluorose dentária por discentes de odontologia

ABSTRACT Objective To check knowledge of undergraduate dental students to make diagnosis of dental fluorosis with varying degrees of severity and choose its appropriate treatment. Methods Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire addressing knowledge of undergraduates based on ten images of mouths presenting enamel changes. Results Only three images were correctly diagnosed by most undergraduates; the major difficulty was in establishing dental fluorosis severity degree. Conclusion Despite much information about fluorosis conveyed during the Dentistry training, as defined in the course syllabus, a significant part of the students was not able to differentiate it from other lesions; they did not demonstrate expertise as to defining severity of fluorosis and indications for treatment, and could not make the correct diagnosis of enamel surface changes.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar o conhecimento de discentes de um curso de graduação em Odontologia ao diagnosticar casos de fluorose dentária nos diversos graus de severidade, bem como escolher seu tratamento adequado. Métodos O levantamento dos dados foi realizado por meio um questionário semiestruturado, que abordou o conhecimento dos acadêmicos sobre as imagens de bocas contendo alterações do esmalte dentário. Resultados Apenas três imagens foram diagnosticadas corretamente pela maioria dos acadêmicos; a maior dificuldade foi o diagnóstico da severidade da fluorose dentária. Conclusão Apesar das informações sobre fluorose repassadas no decorrer do curso de Odontologia, definidas pelos conteúdos abordados na matriz curricular, expressiva parte dos alunos ainda não soube diferenciá-la de outras lesões, não demonstrando domínio sobre a severidade e as indicações de tratamento, o que indicou desconhecimento no diagnóstico correto das alterações de superfície de esmalte.

Autopercepção das necessidades de tratamentos odontológicos em adultos e idosos no SB Brasil 2010 e no SB Minas Gerais 2012 – validade e fatores associados à concordância com a avaliação clínica

Um dos pressupostos da Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal é a utilização da epidemiologia para subsidiar o planejamento das ações de saúde bucal. Tradicionalmente, a necessidade normativa, determinada por profissionais em exames clínicos, é a mais utilizada em estudos epidemiológicos com foco em agravos bucais. Entretanto, realizar o retrato epidemiológico de uma população por meio de exames odontológicos demanda conhecimento técnico especializado e exige a utilização de recursos frequentemente limitados. Questionários ou entrevistas são alternativas reconhecidamente mais simples e econômicas aos exames clínicos em estudos de grande porte. Todavia para que a autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento seja utilizada como ferramenta epidemiológica de planejamento e gestão dos serviços de saúde bucal é fundamental conhecer sua validade e sua concordância com a avaliação clínica,estimando o quanto o autorrelato se aproxima de uma avaliação normativa da mesma população. O presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever e analisar a relação entre a autopercepção e a avaliação clínica das necessidades de tratamentos odontológicos em adultos e idosos. Foram utilizados os dados referentes a adultos e idosos que participaram do SB Brasil 2010 – Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal, e do SB Minas Gerais 2012 – Pesquisa sobre as condições de saúde bucal da população mineira.

As medidas de autopercepção das necessidades de tratamento foram comparadas com os exames clínicos realizados por cirurgiões-dentistas, considerados como padrão-ouro. Foram calculadas as medidas de validade para as necessidades de tratamento dentário e de próteses totais em adultos e idosos.O percentual de concordância entre a avaliação clínica e a autopercepção e seus fatores associados foram determinados para o tratamento dentário em adultos e para a prótese total em idosos. A autopercepção de necessidade de tratamento dentário em adultos e de necessidade de próteses totais em idosos apresentaram valores aceitáveis de validade. A concordância entre a autopercepção e a avaliação clínica foi alta em ambas as questões pesquisadas. Características sociodemográficas, de uso de serviço e condições clínicas estiveram positivamente associadas à concordância para prótese total em idosos. No tocante à necessidade de tratamento dentário em adultos, condições clínicas e impactos autorrelatados estiveram associados à maior concordância, enquanto a visita recente ao dentista esteve associada à menor concordância. A autopercepção da necessidade de tratamento dentário em adultos e de prótese total em idosos são ferramentas válidas para serem utilizadas em levantamentos epidemiológicos em substituição aos exames clínicos. A identificação dos fatores associados às concordâncias apresenta a possibilidade de construção de questionários.
