RESUMO
O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar a condição de saúde bucal de crianças internadas no Hospital Municipal Infantil de Imperatriz - MA. A amostra foi constituída por 80 crianças de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 02 e 12 anos, hospitalizadas por no mínimo 03 dias. Quanto à distribuição da média do ceo-d e CPO-D por idade, as crianças hospitalizadas de 05 a 07 anos apresentaram índice de cárie mais elevado. O IHOS, na faixa etária entre 02 e 05 anos, revelou uma higiene bucal insatisfatória. Constatouse que a saúde bucal das crianças hospitalizadas está comprometida, com um alto índice de cárie na dentição decídua. A higiene bucal não ocorre nem de forma sistemática, nem orientada durante o período de hospitalização, havendo uma baixa adesão aos procedimentos de higiene bucal.
The aim of this paper was to evaluate the oral health status of children hospitalized at Childrens Municipal Hospital Imperatriz - MA. The sample consisted of 80 children of both sexes, aged between 02 to 12 years hospitalized for at least 03 days. As for the distribution of the average ceo-d and CPOD age, hospitalized children 05 to 07 years had higher caries prevalence. The IHOS, aged between 02 to 05, revealed a poor oral hygiene. It was found that the oral health of hospitalized children is committed, with a high index of caries in the primary dentition. The oral hygiene does not occur neither systematically nor targeted during the hospitalization period, with a low adherence to oral hygiene procedures.
RESUMO
Context: Heat treatment allows the use of direct composite resins for fabrication of inlays/onlays restorations because it improves some mechanical and physical properties. Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of heat treatment on the water sorption and solubility of direct composite resins compared with an indirect composite resin. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 cylindrical specimens were fabricated (6 mm diameter × 2 mm high) and divided into five groups (n = 10): G1 (FillMagic without heat treatment-control 1), G2 (heat‑treated FillMagic), G3 (P60 without heat treatment-control 1), G4 (heat‑treated P60) and G5 (indirect resin Epricord-control 2). After fabrication, the specimens were placed in a desiccator containing silica gel and maintained at 37°C for 24 h. This cycle was repeated until a constant weight was achieved (m1). Following, the specimens were stored in individual flasks containing 2 ml of distilled water in an oven at 37°C. The specimens were weighed after intervals of 1, 7 and 21 days of immersion in water (m2). After 21 days of storage in water, the specimens were once again desiccated until a constant weight was achieved (m3). The mean diameter and thickness of specimens were obtained using a digital pachymeter. Statistical Analysis Used: Two‑way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test were used to compare the sorption and solubility (α = 0.05). Results: The type of resin significantly influenced the sorption (P = 0.01) and solubility (P = 0.00). The heat treatment also significantly influenced the sorption (P = 0.026) and solubility (P = 0.01). Conclusion: It was concluded that the heat treatment is an additional curing method that improves strength to the sorption and solubility of composite resins.
