ABSTRACT

Objetivo: verificar o conhecimento de acadêmicos de Odontologia de uma instituição de ensino superior da Paraíba acerca da avulsão dentária. Métodos: foi realizado um estudo transversal, no qual 64 acadêmicos responderam um formulário com perguntas objetivas relativas a dados sociodemográficos, período de formação do curso e conhecimento e condutas em casos de avulsão dentária. Foi realizada análise descritiva de frequência absoluta e relativa dos dados (SPSS, v. 20.0). Resultados: a maioria dos acadêmicos recebeu informações sobre avulsão dentária em aulas ministradas no curso (86%) e indicaria a irrigação com soro fisiológico seguida de reimplante quando da ocorrência do trauma há menos de uma hora (64,1%) e há mais de uma hora (43,8%). O tratamento endodôntico foi indicado, independentemente do tempo do dente fora do alvéolo, por 34,4% da amostra. A contenção rígida foi a mais indicada para o dente reimplantado (48,4%) e seu tempo mínimo de proservação radiográfica respondido pela maioria dos pesquisados foi de 6 meses (48,4%). Conclusões: apesar de a maioria dos acadêmicos ter recebido informações acerca da temática, o conhecimento foi considerado insuficiente em relação a condutas referentes ao reimplante dentário, indicação do tratamento endodôntico, tipo de contenção e tempo de proservação.


Objective: to verify the knowledge of dental students from a Higher Education Institution of Paraíba about dental avulsion. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out, in which 64 students answered a form with objective questions regarding sociodemographic data, course period, knowledge and conduct in cases of tooth avulsion. Descriptive analysis of absolute and relative frequency of data was performed (SPSS, v. 20.0). Results: most students received information about dental avulsion during the graduation classes (86%) and would indicate irrigation with saline solution followed by reimplantation when the trauma occurred less than one hour (64.1%) and more than one hour (43.8%). Endodontic treatment was indicated, regardless of the time the tooth was out of the dental socket, according 34.4% of the sample. Rigid retention was the most indicated for the reimplanted tooth (48.4%) and six months was the minimum radiographic follow-up time answered by most students (48.4%). Conclusions: although most students have received information about the topic, the knowledge was considered insufficient in relation to some aspects of the protocols recommended for emergency care for dental avulsion, with emphasis on behaviors related to dental reimplantation, indication of endodontic treatment, type of containment and follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar fatores associados, percepção e prevalência do uso de óxido nitroso por cirurgiões-dentistas do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo transversal, de base eletrônica, com profissionais registrados no Rio Grande do Sul. A coleta de dados baseou-se no envio, por e-mails e campanhas no Instagram, de um questionário via plataforma Google Forms contendo 27 questões acerca do uso de óxido nitroso em atendimentos odontológicos, bem como o perfil e as percepções dos profissionais sobre a técnica. Resultados: Dos 220 participantes, apenas 12,3% utilizava o óxido nitroso em sua prática clínica, sendo as especialidades que mais utilizavam, cirurgia e odontopediatria. Dentre os que reportaram utilizar a técnica, 81,5% tinham mais de 29 anos (p<0,001) e possuíam curso de pós-graduação, sendo que destes, 55,6% realizou o curso de habilitação (p<0,01) e mais da metade (55,6%) relatou utilizar em pacientes adultos (p<0,001). O alto custo do equipamento, bem como a falta de interesse dos profissionais, foram as principais razões para o não uso da técnica. Conclusão: A técnica de sedação consciente com óxido nitroso é pouco usada pelos cirurgiões-dentistas no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. É possível que a ampliação do conhecimento acerca da indicação e aplicação do óxido nitroso, ainda durante a graduação, possa expandir o uso e contribuir para uma melhor qualidade no atendimento de pacientes com medo e ansiedade odontológicos. (AU)


Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate associated factors, perception and prevalence of nitrous oxide use by dental surgeons in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methodology: A cross-sectional, electronic-based study was carried out with professionals registered in Rio Grande do Sul. Data collection was based on sending, via emails and Instagram campaigns, a questionnaire via the Google Forms platform containing 27 questions about the use of nitrous oxide in dental care, as well as the profile and perceptions of professionals about the technique. Results: Of the 220 participants, only 12.3% used nitrous oxide in their clinical practice, the specialties they used most being surgery and pediatric dentistry. Among those who reported using the technique, 81.5% were over 29 years old (p<0.001) and had a postgraduate course, of which 55.6% completed the qualification course (p<0.01) and more than half (55.6%) reported using it in adult patients (p<0.001). The high cost of the equipment, as well as the lack of interest from professionals, were the main reasons for not using the technique. Conclusion: The conscious sedation technique with nitrous oxide is little used by dental surgeons in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. It is possible that expanding knowledge about the indication and application of nitrous oxide, even during graduation, can expand its use and contribute to a better quality of care for patients with dental fear and anxiety.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar se os cirurgiões-dentistas têm conhecimento das implicações judiciais embutidas na cirurgia estética de bichectomia. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo no qual foi aplicado um questionário estruturado aos docentes cirurgiões-dentistas da Faculdade Maria Milza (FAMAM) que realizam bichectomia. Os dados do questionário foram organizados em forma de tabela, apresentando informações sociodemográficas e sobre o conhecimento deles em relação aos aspectos judicias embutidos neste tipo de cirurgia. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 08 cirurgiões-dentistas, docentes da Faculdade Maria Milza. A maioria era do sexo masculino, com idade entre 29 a 39 anos, com tempo de docência menor igual a 5 anos e atuando em clínica privada. A maioria afirmou estar ciente das possíveis implicações judiciais e se previnir destas, no entanto, grande parte da amostra estudada não tinha conhecimento do Código Civil Brasileiro. Conclusão: A maioria dos dentistas não possuíam conhecimento sobre o Código Civil Brasileiro, mas sabem que podem responder processos movidos pelos pacientes. Frente a isso, eles estão se protegendo de possíveis implicações de ordem judicial relacionados a cirurgia de bichectomia.(AU)


Objective: To analyze whether dentists are aware of the judicial implications embedded in cosmetic surgery for bichectomy. Methods: This is a descriptive study in which a structured questionnaire was applied to the professors-dentists at Faculdade Maria Milza (FAMAM) who perform bichectomy. The questionnaire data were organized in form of a table, presenting sociodemographic information and their knowledge in relation to the judicial aspects embedded in this type of surgery. Results: The sample consisted of 08 dental surgeons, professors at Faculdade Maria Milza. Most were male, aged between 29 and 39 years old, with less than 5 years of teaching experience and working in a private clinic. The majority claimed to be aware of the possible legal implications and to prevent them, however, a large part of the sample studied was not aware of the Brazilian Civil Code. Conclusion: Most surgeons had no knowledge of the Brazilian Civil Code, but they know that they can respond to a lawsuit brought by patients. Faced with this, they are protecting themselves from possible implications of a court order related to bichectomy surgery.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate if the Guatemalan dentist's options on tooth bleaching could be influenced by their time in clinical practice, the level of specialization or their working place. Methods: A representative sample of dentists working in clinical practice in Guatemala was selected. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire with information related to gender, professional characteristics (time since graduation in years and working place) and preferences regarding vital (at-home or in-office; type and concentration of bleaching agent) and the nonvital tooth bleaching (bleaching agent used). The analysis was performed and the association between preference for bleaching technique and independent variables were investigated using Fisher's exact test. Results: 200 dentists were interviewed. More than half of dentists were male (57.0%) with time since graduation between 11 and 20 years (n= 64; 32.3%). Dentists mostly (60.5%) preferred in-office technique for vital bleaching, with 10-20% Carbamide peroxide (CP) as the preferred agent (50%). For nonvital teeth, the preferred agent (46.8%) was 37% Hydrogen Peroxide (HP). About the associations, younger dentists (< 20 years of graduation) selected mostly in-office technique, while those with more than 20 years indicated more the at-home technique. Also, the dentists working in private practice chose more frequently in-office technique. Thus, the in-office technique was more popular among Guatemalan dentists, with 10-20% CP and 37% HP selected as favorite bleaching agents for vital and nonvital techniques, respectively. Conclusion: The time of clinical practice and working place influenced some choices

ABSTRACT

Aim: To investigate restorative decisions made by dentists and to examine what demographic characteristics are associated with the decisions for managing approximal and occlusal lesions. Methods: A questionnaire was randomly sent to 900 Palestinian dentists. It noted the demographic details of the dentists and the years of experience. The questionnaire evaluated the respondents for their treatment decisions regarding approximal and occlusal carious lesions. The data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistics for windows. The associations between gender and years of experience of the respondents and their restorative decisions were assessed. Results: The response rate was 58.2%. For occlusal carious lesions, 93.9% of the respondents would postpone operative treatment until the lesion was in dentine (grade 3 to 5). For approximal lesions, intervention was deemed appropriate by 92.6% of the respondents when there was radiographic evidence of a carious lesion reaching the DEJ or deeper. Around 53% preferred to prepare approximal lesions according to the traditional principles of cavity preparation. For both approximal and occlusal lesions, the participants opted for resin composites. Statistically, there was a significant association between the restorative decisions with the years since graduation and gender. Conclusion: The study showed variations between the treatment decisions of Palestinian dentists. The subjects chose conservative treatment plans but still adhered to traditional learned practices especially when cavity preparation for approximal lesions was concerned. The years since graduation and gender played a significant role in the choice of treatment opted for. Resin composites seemed to be a popular choice for treatment

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: descrever as práticas e os conhecimentos de cirurgiões-dentistas (CDs) da atenção primária à saúde do município de Ribeirão Preto, SP, em relação à população em situação de rua (PSR), caracterizar o perfil dos cirurgiões-dentistas, avaliar a percepção dos profissionais em relação ao conhecimento da Política Na-cional para a População em Situação de Rua (PNPSR) e experiências com a PSR. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo exploratório, utilizando questionário autoaplicável on-line. Os dados foram compilados pelo software Microsoft Excel versão 2010 e foi realizada análise descritiva dos dados. Resulta-dos: dos 29 CDs participantes, todos possuíam algum nível de pós-graduação, nunca receberam algum tipo de capacitação sobre a PSR (100%), mas têm interesse em recebê-la (82,7%). Consideram seu conhecimento sobre PSR como regular (41,4%) e se sentem parcialmente capacitados para identificar o uso abusivo de álcool (44,8%) e drogas (37,9%); 51,7% não têm contato com serviços de assistência social; 38% relataram experiências positivas durante os atendimentos à PSR, envolvendo a resolubilidade das urgências e a gratidão demonstrada pela PSR; 31% relataram experiências negativas, relacionadas ao atendimento sob efeito de substâncias, à agressividade e à não adesão ao tratamento. Apesar de possuírem conhecimento das caracte-rísticas sociodemográficas da PSR, 51,7% dos entrevistados desconhecem a existência da PNPSR. Conclusão: os resultados mostram que os CDs da atenção primária à saúde do município são qualificados, mas, em geral, possuem baixa familiaridade com as especificidades encontradas no atendimento da população e, em sua maioria, desconhecem a existência da PNPSR.(AU)


Objective: to describe the practices and knowledge of dentists in primary health care in the city of Ribeirão Preto-SP in relation to the Homeless Population (HP), to characterize the profile of dentists, and to assess the perception of professionals in relation to knowledge of the National Policy for the Homeless Population (NPHP) and their experiences with HP. Methods: this is an exploratory descriptive cross-sectional study, using an online self-administered questionnaire. Data were compiled using Microsoft Excel 2010 software and descriptive data analysis was performed. Results: The 29 participating dentists, who had some postgraduate level, never received any type of training on PSR (100%), but they were interested in receiving it (82.7%). They considered their knowledge of HP as regular (41.4%) and felt partially able to identify the abusive use of alcohol (44.8%) and drugs (37.9%). 51.7% have no contact with social assistance services. 38% reported positive experiences during consultations with the HP, involving the resolution of emergencies and the gratitude shown by the HP. 31% reported negative experiences related to care under the influence of substances, aggression and non-adherence to treatment. Despite having knowledge of the sociodemographic characteristics of PSR, 51.7% of respondents are unaware of the existence of NPHP. Conclusion: the results show that the primary health care dentists in the municipality are qualified, but, in general, are not familiar with the specificities found in the care of the population and, for the most part, are unaware of the existence of the National Policy for the Population in Street Situation.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: analisar informações presentes na literatura sobre a citada patologia com enfoque odontológico, baseando-se em evidências atuais, a fim de estruturar uma conduta clínica, métodos preventivos e terapêuticos. Revisão de literatura: executou-se busca na literatura em dezembro de 2020, por meio dos descritores pré-estabelecidos, nos bancos de dados LILACS e PubMed/MEDLINE, além de complementações utilizando o Google Scholar. Foram encontrados 563 artigos, refinados em 10, juntamente ao uso de 3 livros. Considerações finais: a partir dos achados, constatou-se que a realização de uma anamnese criteriosa durante a primeira consulta faz-se imprescindível, por auxiliar na compreensão dos aspectos fisiopatológicos do paciente, os quais irão determinar o emprego ou não de fármacos, principalmente antes de procedimentos invasivos. Em contrapartida, verificou-se a negligência desse assunto no âmbito odontológico, pelo fato de existirem poucos estudos relacionados ao manejo clínico de pacientes com Febre Reumática (FR), sendo necessárias maiores pesquisas, com o fito de construir-se uma conduta clínica adequada, reduzindo-se os riscos e a incidência de tal enfermidade.(AU)


Objective: to analyze information in the literature about mentioned pathology with a dental focus, based on current evidence in order to structure a clinical conduct, preventive and therapeutic methods. Literature Review: literature searches were performed in December 2020, using pre-established descriptors, in the databases LILACS and PubMed/MEDLINE, in addition to complementations using Google Scholar. About 563 articles were found, refined in 10, along with the use of 3 books. Final Considerations: From the findings, it was found that the performance of a careful anamnesis during the first consultation is essential, as it helps to understand the patient's pathophysiological aspects, which will determine the use of drugs, mainly, before invasive procedures. On the other hand, this matter was neglected in the Dental field, due to the fact that there are few studies related to the clinical management of patients with Rheumatic Fever (RF), and further research is necessary, with the aim of building an adequate clinical conduct, reducing the risks and the incidence of such a disease.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the dental practice patterns related to caries prevention in children aged 6-18 years and associated factors. Material and Methods: Dentists (n=162) from Araraquara, Brazil, completed two paper questionnaires: (1) one about characteristics of their practice and their patient population; and (2) a translated version of the "Assessment of Caries Diagnosis and Caries Treatment" Questionnaire from the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network. Regression analyses were used for data analysis (p<0.05). Results: Dentists reported using in-office fluoride (IOF) and dental sealants (DS) in 74.2% and 45.1% of their pediatric patients, respectively. Regression analysis showed that female dentists (p=0.035 for DS; p=0.044 for IOF; p=0.011 for non-prescription fluoride rinse), those with advanced degrees (p=0.032 for prescription of fluoride), those who graduated from a private dental school (p=0.018 for chlorhexidine rinse), those who provided caries prevention regimens (p<0.001 for DS; p=0.004 for IOF; p=0.013 for non-prescription fluoride rinse), those with a greater percentage of patients interested in a caries prevention regimen (p=0.007 for non-prescription fluoride rinse), those working in a private practice model (p=0.047 for prescription of fluoride) were more likely to recommend some type of preventive methods to their pediatric patients. Conclusion: Dentists reported recommending IOF to most of their pediatric patients. Certain dentists', practices', and patients' characteristics were associated to some caries prevention regimens recommended by dentists.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the Dentists' practice in compliance with general and guidelines for handling Coronavirus Disease 2019. Material and Methods: PubMed, Embase, ISI, Scopus, Medicine have been used to search for articles until September 2020. EndNote X9 was used to manage electronic resources as a resource. Joanna Briggs Institute reviewer's manual (JBI) tools was used to assess the quality of studies included in the current systematic and meta-analysis review. The 95% confidence interval (CI) effect size, the random effect model, and the Restricted maximum-likelihood (REML) methods have all been calculated. I2 values of more than 50% indicated moderate-to-high heterogeneity. Stata/MP v.16 (the fastest version of Stata) statistical software was used to evaluate the Meta-analysis. Results: 39 articles were found in the initial keyword search. The full text of 16 studies was reviewed, and six studies were selected in the end. 72% of participants used a face mask during the dental procedure (72%, 95% CI; 40%-100%). 63% of participants measured fever when patients arrived during the COVID-19 pandemic (63%, 95% CI; 46%-79%). Moreover, 72% of participants used a face mask during the dental procedure (72%, 95% CI; 40%-100%). According to JBI tools, all studies had a moderate risk of bias. Conclusion: The results show that the performance of dental professionals in the conditions of the COVID-19 epidemic is not favorable. Training should be under the standards of treatment guidelines and further measures so that dental professionals can show proper practice by increasing their awareness of this virus and following up on its infection.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de conhecimento em Estomatologia dos cirurgiões-dentistas (CD) que atuam na Atenção Básica de um município de Pernambuco, Brasil. Métodos: Este é um estudo observacional, indutivo, estatístico e de abordagem quantitativa. A população do estudo envolve os CD atuantes nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário elaborado pelos pesquisadores, contendo 27 perguntas sobre as lesões orais mais comuns, diagnóstico clínico e condutas frente a diagnósticos clínicos específicos. O nível de conhecimento foi mensurado a partir da média de acertos dos profissionais. Os dados coletados foram processados por meio do uso do programa estatístico IBM SPSS 20.0®. Resultados: A amostra obtida foi de treze CD. A média dos acertos nos conhecimentos específicos em Estomatologia foi de 17 (± 3,109). Quanto à classificação do desempenho geral, a maioria dos profissionais (69,2%) teve um desempenho regular. Quanto aos conhecimentos específicos sobre diagnóstico clínico, estes foram classificados como alto para a maioria (53,8%). Em relação aos conhecimentos específicos sobre as condutas adequadas frente às lesões, a classificação do desempenho foi baixa para a maioria dos participantes (84,6%). Conclusão: De modo geral, os CD obtiveram um desempenho regular de conhecimento em Estomatologia. Recomenda-se o desenvolvimento de mais pesquisas devido à escassez de discussões sobre o tema na literatura.


Aim: To evaluate the level of knowledge on oral medicine of dentists who work in Primary Health Care in the city in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Methods: This is an observational, inductive, statistical study with a quantitative approach. The study population involves dentists working in the Basic Health Units of the city. The data were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researchers, containing 27 questions about the most common oral lesions, clinical diagnoses, and conduct towards specific clinical diagnoses. The level of knowledge was measured from the mean of correct answers by the professionals. Collected data were processed using the IBM SPSS 20.0® statistical program. Results: This study's sample counted on the participation of thirteen dentists. The mean of correct answers regarding specific knowledge on Oral Medicine was 17 (± 3.109). As for the classification of general performance, most professionals (69.2%) performed regularly. As for specific knowledge about clinical diagnosis, the knowledge was classified as high for the majority (53.8%). About the appropriate behaviors in relation to injuries, the performance classification was low for most participants (84.6%). Conclusion: In general, dentists obtained a regular knowledge on Oral Medicine. Further research is recommended due to the scarcity of discussions on the topic in the literature.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Data on dental practices related to caries risk assessment (CRA) are scarce among Brazilian dentists. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of CRA use by dentists and factors associated with its use, as well as to quantify dentists' ratings of the importance of specific factors when treatment planning. Dentists registered at the Regional Council of Dentistry of São Paulo State - Araraquara region were sent two paper questionnaires that comprised: a) characteristics of dentists themselves, their practices, and their patients; and b) the translated version of the "Assessment of Caries Diagnosis and Caries Treatment" Questionnaire from the U.S. National Dental Practice-Based Research Network. Participants were 206 dentists who currently practiced in Araraquara and treated dental caries. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analyses were used for data analysis. Thirty-six percent of the dentists reported they perform CRA and, among them, 36% indicated they record the assessment on a special form that is kept in the patient chart. More years since dental school graduation (OR = 1.1, p = 0.002) and holding an advanced academic degree (OR=2.6, p=0.005) were associated with a higher likelihood of performing CRA, whereas exclusively using a private practice model (OR = 0.5, p = 0.016) was associated with a lower likelihood of performing CRA. The current oral hygiene and commitment to return for follow-up were the most important risk factors for treatment planning. In conclusion, CRA was not a routine procedure in daily practice among the majority of participating dentists. Specific demographic, practice and academic education characteristics were associated with performing CRA.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: We present an integrative review of the literature conducted to find and analyse specific measures for disinfection and/or sterilization of intraoral complex instruments, applicable to intraoral scanners. We performed a two-stage search in the PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, REDALYCS, and LILACS databases, and the Google Scholar website, which included full articles in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. The strategy associated the terms 'disinfection', 'biosecurity', 'decontamination', and (a) 'intraoral scanners', and (b) other 'semi-critical' intraoral complex instruments, according to the American Dental Association definition (e.g., 'turbine', etc). Strategy (a) produced just one outcome, whereas (b) produced nine articles, which only suggested low-level disinfectants.The lack of empirically based protocols that allow effective microbiological control makes it necessary to create a new categorization for these instruments when trying to comply with American Dental Association recommendations for dental practice.


RESUMEN: Presentamos una revisión integradora de la literatura realizada para encontrar y analizar medidas específicas de desinfección y / o esterilización de instrumentos complejos intraorales, aplicables a los escáneres intraorales. Realizamos una búsqueda en dos etapas en las bases de datos PubMed / MEDLINE, SciELO, REDALYCS y LILACS, y en el sitio web Google Scholar, que incluía artículos completos en español, portugués e inglés. La estrategia asoció los términos 'desinfección', 'bioseguridad', 'descontaminación' y (a) 'escáneres intraorales', y (b) otros instrumentos complejos intraorales 'semicríticos', según la definición de la Asociación Dental Ameri- cana (p. Ej., 'turbina', etc.). La estrategia (a) produjo un solo resultado, mientras que (b) produjo nueve artículos, que solo sugirieron desinfectantes de bajo nivel. La falta de protocolos de base empírica que permitan un control microbiológico efectivo hace necesario crear una nueva categorización para estos instrumentos, cuando se trata de cumplir con las recomendaciones de la Asociación Dental Americana para la práctica dental.

ABSTRACT

O mundo está diante da pandemia pela Covid-19, novo coronavírus conhecido como causa da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2) e a Odontologia pode ser considerada uma das áreas com maior risco de contaminação. Objetivo: revisar a literatura existente sobre as manifestações da Covid-19 relacionadas com a atuação odontológica e apresentar orientações aos profissionais de saúde bucal no manejo de pacientes com necessidades especiais. Métodos: foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Wiley Online Library, Portal de Periódicos Capes e Google Acadêmico, além de orientações (protocolos) por órgãos oficiais de saúde nacionais e internacionais. Resultados: durante o atendimento odontológico, ocorre uma proximidade face a face entre dentistas e pacientes, além de exposição a saliva, sangue e instrumentos manuais que podem estar contaminados. A atenção aos pacientes com comprometimento sistêmico requer uma anamnese minuciosa, avaliando a necessidade ou não de interconsulta médica. Enquanto os pacientes de difícil manejo precisarão de técnicas lúdicas para reduzir as barreiras que dificultam o atendimento odontológico. Conclusão: pessoas com deficiência e com outras necessidades em saúde usualmente já tinham maior dificuldade para receber atendimento odontológico. Com a Covid-19, isso se agravou, visto que o atendimento eletivo é contraindicado neste grupo. No entanto, o conhecimento que a comunidade científica está produzindo não servirá apenas para esta pandemia. A melhora na biossegurança e a valorização dos profissionais de saúde devem ser mantidas mesmo quando o surto passar.(AU)


The world is facing the pandemic by Covid-19, a new coronavirus known as the cause of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Dentistry can be considered one of the areas with the highest risk of contamination. The objective of this work was to review the existing literature on the manifestations of Covid-19 related to dental practice and to present guidelines that assist oral health professionals in the management of patients with special needs. Methods: a bibliographic search was performed in the databases PubMed, SciELO, Wiley Online Library, Portal of Journals Capes and Google Scholar, in addition to guidance by official national and international health agencies. Results: during dental care, there is a face- -to-face proximity between dentists and patients, in addition to exposure to saliva, blood and hand instruments that may be contaminated. Attention to patients with systemic impairment requires a thorough anamnesis, assessing the need or not for medical consultation. While difficult-to-manage patients will need playful techniques to reduce barriers that hinder dental care. Conclusion: people with disabilities and other health needs usually already had greater difficulty in receiving dental care. With Covid-19, this worsened, since elective care is contraindicated in this group. However, the TRAD that the scientific community is producing will not only serve for this pandemic. The improvement in biosafety and the valorization of health professionals must be maintained even when the outbreak passes.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar o conhecimento de cirurgiões-dentistas que trabalham em consultórios particulares de Palmas, Tocantins, quanto à utilização de anestésicos locais em pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus. Materiais e método: trata-se de um estudo descritivo qualitativo, aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da FAMERP de São José do Rio Preto, sob o protocolo 032/2007 e CAAE: 0065.0.000.140-07, respeitando-se a Resolução 466/12, do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da aplicação de um questionário, utilizando um formulário estruturado. Resultados: de 113 participantes, 47 (41,6%) eram do sexo masculino e 66 (58,4%) do sexo feminino, com idade média de 35 anos. O anestésico mais utilizado pelos cirurgiões-dentistas avaliados foi a lidocaína 2% + adrenalina 1:100.000 (53,1%), o qual também é o mais utilizado para pacientes diabéticos controlados (64,6%). Quanto à variedade de anestésicos, 47,8% dos avaliados relataram possuir somente 3 tipos de anestésicos no consultório e que 83,2% nunca presenciaram nenhum problema decorrente do uso de anestésico. Além disso, 65,5% relataram não participar de cursos para atualização de conhecimentos, sendo que 53,1% mostraram-se insatisfeitos com o ensino de anestesiologia que receberam na graduação. Conclusão: observou-se que os cirurgiões-dentistas do atendimento odontológico particular de Palmas precisam de uma reciclagem profissional, a fim de atualizarem conhecimentos adquiridos na graduação sobre indicação e utilização de anestésicos locais em tratamentos odontológicos de pacientes com necessidades especiais, com ênfase em pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus.(AU)


Objective: to evaluate the knowledge of dentists who work in private offices in Palmas, Tocantins, regarding the use of local anesthetics in patients with diabetes mellitus. Materials and method: this research is a qualitative descriptive study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee of FAMERP from São José do Rio Preto, under protocol number 032/2007 and CAAE: 0065.0.000.140-07 in compliance with the Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council. Data collection was performed through the application of a questionnaire, using a structured form. Results: 47 (41.6%) out of 113 participants were male and 66 (58.4%) female, with an average age of 35 years old. The anesthetic most used by the dentists evaluated was lidocaine 2% + adrenaline 1: 100,000 (53.1%) which is also the most used for controlled diabetic patients (64.6%). As for the variety of anesthetics, 47.8% of those evaluated reported having only 3 types of anesthetics in the office and that 83.2% never saw any problems resulting from the use of anesthetics. Furthermore, 65.5% reported not participating in courses to update knowledge and 53.1% were dissatisfied with the teaching of anesthesiology they received during graduation. Conclusion: it was observed that dentists who work in private dental offices in Palmas need a professional retraining in order to update knowledge acquired during graduation on the indication and use of local anesthetics in dental treatments for patients with special needs, with an emphasis on patients with diabetes mellitus.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: este estudo busca analisar a atuação dos cirurgiões-dentistas da rede pública de saúde acerca do câncer bucal. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal no qual foram entrevistados 217 dentistas. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário estruturado, enviado via e-mail, pelo Conselho Regional de Odontologia do Rio Grande do Norte. Resultados: um terço dos profissionais relatou ser capaz de realizar biópsias e citologia esfoliativa, mas apenas 15,2% das unidades de saúde possuíam condições materiais para fazê-las. Cerca de 85% dos cirurgiões-dentistas possuíam o conhecimento básico sobre o câncer bucal e 66,8% realizavam ações educativas-preventivas. Conclusão: embora a maioria dos cirurgiões-dentistas tivessem conhecimento adequado para realizar o diagnóstico bucal, a maioria não era capaz de realizar procedimentos cirúrgicos com finalidade diagnóstica. A realização desse exame durante a atenção primária é perfeitamente possível, por necessitar de baixa complexidade de equipamentos, e sua eficácia no diagnóstico permite a detecção precoce e o início do tratamento em estágios iniciais da doença, podendo reduzir as taxas de mortalidade por câncer bucal.(AU)


Objective: this study sought to analyze the performance of dental surgeons in the public health network regarding oral cancer. Method: this is a cross-sectional study in which 217 dentists were interviewed. Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire sent via e-mail, by the Regional Council of Dentistry of Rio Grande do Norte. Results: one third of the professionals reported being able to perform biopsies and exfoliative cytology, but only 15.2% of the Health Units had material conditions to carry them out. About 85% of dental surgeons had basic knowledge about oral cancer, and 66.8% performed educational- preventive actions. Conclusion: although most dental surgeons had adequate knowledge to perform the oral diagnosis, most of them were not able to perform surgical procedures for diagnostic purposes. The performance of this exam in primary care is perfectly possible because it requires low equipment complexity, and its effectiveness in diagnosis allows for early detection and initiation of treatment in the early stages of the disease, which can reduce oral cancer mortality rates.(AU)
