ABSTRACT

The World Health Organization launched in May 2019 the new International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 11th revision. As a contribution to this transition, this article aims to present the main changes of the revised version of the classification and indicate the most pressing challenges. After 30 years of the ICD-10 publication, we identified significant challenges regarding the new classification, which was presented for adoption by several countries and will be in force in January 2022. The purpose of the preview is to allow countries to plan its use and train their professionals. The new version is completely digital, thus reducing notification errors and facilitating the dissemination and consolidation of this new version. The update highlights the advances in scientific understanding, and it demands structural actions and implementation efficiency from governments, so that everyone who deals with assistance can speak the same language, on a global scale.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The study of dental development in individuals born with cleft lip and palate (CLP) serves to determine when orthodontic intervention should start. To evaluate the permanent second molar development in children born with cleft lip and palate according to Demirjian's and Nolla's methods. METHODOLOGY: Out of a total of 513 digital panoramic radiographs, 113 pairs of children aged 3 to 16 years were selected. The exams were from children born with or without cleft lip and palate, of the same sex, with an age difference of up to 30 days. The images were analyzed by three examiners and reliability was checked through intra-examiner agreement by the Kappa test. The data were analyzed by Wilcoxon's and Mann-Whitney tests according to each dataset. RESULTS: The findings indicated delayed development of the permanent second molars in children with CLP (P<0.001). The development of the right permanent second molar was delayed compared to the left molar in children with CLP. Moreover, mandibular teeth showed significantly earlier development than maxillary teeth in both the case and control groups. There was no significant difference in the development of permanent second molars between sexes. CONCLUSION: Children with CLP presented delay in the development of permanent second molars.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study investigated the third molar mineralization in patients with cleft lip and palate.Materials and methods: From a total of 253 digital panoramic radiographs from patients with cleft lip and palate within the age range of 7-21 years, 97 radiographs were selected (cleft group). A control group was formed from same sex individuals, without malformation and chronological age matched within 30 days. The analysis of third molar mineralization was carried out by three calibrated examiners using Demirjian's and Nolla's methods. McNemar and Wilcoxon test for paired samples were used for pairwise comparisons between the groups. The Likelihood Ratio test was used to check for an association between the type of cleft and tooth calcification.Results: In both methods, the mineralization means were smaller in the case group than in the control, with significant differences for all third molars (p < .05). The type of cleft affected dental mineralization. There was no significant difference when comparing the left or right sides, but maxillary molars showed earlier mineralization.Conclusions: A significant delay in third molar mineralization was observed in patients with cleft lip and palate according to Demirjian's and Nolla's methods.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: to study the epidemiological data of patients suffering from buccomaxillofacial trauma treated at a referral hospital in the State of Paraíba. METHODS: we conducted a cross-sectional study of inductive approach, with a comparative statistical procedure and research technique by field direct documentation. The sample comprised hospital records obtained from January 2016 to December 2017 of patients attended by the Service of Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology of this hospital, and consisted of 332 patients according to the study's eligibility criteria. Two previously calibrated examiners collected and analyzed the data, both descriptively and inferentially. RESULTS: males sustained the majority of facial trauma (83.1%), mainly in the third decade of life (32.2%). Motorcycle accidents were the most common etiology of trauma for both genders. In relation to inferential statistics with a margin of error of 5%, there was no significant association (p>0.05) between the genders and the trauma etiological factors. The bones of the nose (38.2%) were the most affected bones and the most frequent soft tissue injury was edema, in 50.9% of cases. Only 20.8% of the patients with bone fractures were polytraumatized. CONCLUSION: the victims of oral and maxillofacial trauma attended at our hospital are predominantly men in the third decade of life, involved in motorcycle accidents and sustaining lesions in the nose bones nose.


OBJETIVO: estudar os dados epidemiológicos de pacientes vítimas de traumas bucomaxilofaciais atendidos em um hospital de referência da Paraíba. MÉTODOS: estudo transversal de abordagem indutiva com procedimento estatístico comparativo e técnica de pesquisa por documentação direta em campo. O universo foi constituído dos prontuários hospitalares obtidos de janeiro de 2016 a dezembro de 2017 de pacientes atendidos pelo Serviço de Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial desse hospital. A amostra foi composta por 332 pacientes de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade do estudo. A coleta de dados foi realizada por dois examinadores previamente calibrados e os dados foram analisados descritiva e inferencialmente. RESULTADOS: os pacientes do sexo masculino foram mais acometidos por trauma facial (83,1%), principalmente na terceira década de vida (32,2%). Acidentes motociclísticos foram a etiologia mais comum de trauma para ambos os sexos. Em relação à estatística inferencial com margem de erro fixada em 5%, não foi observada associação significativa (p>0,05) entre os sexos e os fatores etiológicos do trauma. Os ossos do nariz (38,2%) foram os ossos mais afetados e a lesão mais frequente de partes moles foi o edema, em 50,9% dos casos. Apenas 20,8% dos pacientes com fraturas ósseas foram politraumatizados. CONCLUSÃO: as vítimas de traumatismo bucomaxilofacial atendidas em nosso hospital são predominantemente homens na terceira década de vida, envolvidos em acidentes motociclísticos e com lesões em ossos do nariz.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento de cirurgiões-dentistas da cidade de Patos-PB acerca da biossegurança em radiologia odontológica e métodos de proteção utilizados. Métodos: Foi utilizada uma abordagem indutiva com procedimento estatístico descritivo e técnica de documentação direta através da pesquisa de campo, utilizando o formulário como instrumento. Participaram do estudo 50 cirurgiões-dentistas que trabalhavam em consultórios particulares com aparelho de raios X intraoral na cidade de Patos-PB. Após a assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido pelos profissionais, foram aplicados questionários para avaliação do conhecimento dos mesmos sobre biossegurança em radiologia e práticas de proteção utilizadas. Os dados foram tabulados e foi feita análise descritiva das variáveis qualitativas pelas medidas de proporção, frequências e porcentagens. Resultados: Observou-se que todos os profissionais mostraram preocupação em relação à radioproteção e que buscavam realizar os exames radiográficos seguindo os princípios de cada técnica radiográfica a fim de se evitar a repetição das mesmas. Para proteção do paciente, a maioria relatou utilizar avental de chumbo, incluindo protetor de tireóide, além de reduzir o tempo de exposição. Acerca da proteção própria, a maior parte afirmou possuir paredes com revestimento de chumbo. Conclusão: Observouse que a maioria dos profissionais tem conscientização acerca dos aspectos de radioproteção, contudo, alguns cirurgiões-dentistas ainda desconhecem os mesmos e não praticam a biossegurança em radiologia, colocando em risco sua própria saúde e a dos pacientes.(AU)


Aim: To assess the knowledge of dentists in the city of Patos, PB, Brazil, about biosafety in radiology and applied protection methods. Methods: This study involved an inductive approach with a descriptivestatistical procedure and a research technique for direct documentation in the field, using a questionnaire as the main instrument. This study included 50 dentists who work in private practices with intraoral X-ray units in Patos, PB. After the professionals had signed the Free and Informed Consent Form, questionnaires were applied to evaluate the dentists' knowledge about biosafety in radiology and their protection practices. The data were tabulated, and a descriptive analysis was performed regarding the qualitative variables measured by proportion, frequencies, and percentages. Results: It was observed that all of the staff were concerned about their own radioprotection and that they sought to comply with the principles of each radiographic technique in order to avoid repeating radiographs. For patient protection, the majority reported using lead aprons, including a thyroid shield, in addition to reducing exposure time. Regarding their own protection, most facilities have walls with lead casing. Conclusion: It was observed that most professionals are aware of the aspects of radiological protection; however, some are still unfamiliar with these procedures and do not practice biosafety in radiology, putting their own health and that of their patients at risk.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar os procedimentos dos cirurgiões-dentistas acerca dos aspectos de radioproteção na cidade de Patos, PB, de acordo com a legislação sanitária brasileira. Materiais e método: foi utilizada uma abordagem indutiva com procedimento descritivo e técnica de pesquisa por documentação direta em campo. Na cidade de Patos, entre os 43 consultórios odontológicos existentes, 35 proprietários aceitaram participar da pesquisa e assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. O pesquisador, após autorização, rea-lizou inspeção visual e preencheu o formulário contendo itens concernentes à radioproteção. Resultados: foi constatada a ausência de sinalização da radiação ionizante nas salas de raios-X em 94,2% dos consultórios e em nenhum estabelecimento foi identificado o aviso acerca da importância da ciência do dentista em casos de pacientes gestantes. Foi observado, também, aventais de chumbo acondicionados de maneira incorreta e até mesmo consultórios que não dispunham de aventais e protetores de tireoide. Conclusão: alguns aspectos de radioproteção estão em desacordo com a legislação sanitária brasileira nos consultórios odonto -lógicos de Patos, demonstrando que existem cirurgiões-dentistas que desconhecem ou não cumprem algumas normas de radioproteção vigentes, que poderiam minimizar os riscos inerentes da exposição à radiação.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of human identification parameters, established by Tatlisumak et al. (2007), by means of cone-beam computed tomography and extraoral radiographs of the frontal sinus region. From a total of 58 dry skulls, 26 were selected. Posteroanterior, profile cephalometric radiographs and cone-beam computed tomography images were acquired, adopting a specific method for reproducibility purposes. The images were evaluated by two examiners, previously calibrated, in a darkened environment and at two distinct sessions, with a minimum of 15 days between them. The characteristics of the frontal sinus were analyzed using the Cohen's kappa test, for categorical variables, and Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) for continuous variables. Acceptable values of inter method variability for the categorical variables were found, while same cannot be told for continuous variables. The parameters evaluated for the frontal sinus on extraoral radiographs and cone-beam computed tomographs were mostly concordant, with the exception of three. Categorical and discrete variables showed an intra- and interexaminer concordance ranging from good to perfect, and the quantitative continuous variables showed concordance ranging from moderate to excellent. The parameters examined are applicable and reproducible using multiplanar reconstructions of cone-beam computed tomography and extraoral radiographs of the frontal sinus.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: No Brasil, a Portaria 453/98 da Secretaria de Vigilância Sanitária estabelece um conjunto de diretrizes para que os serviços de radiologia trabalhem com segurança equalidade, o que requer o atendimento de uma série de itens relacionados aos equipamentos de raios-X. Objetivo: Avaliar as condições dos aparelhos de raios-X dos consultórios odontológicos de Patos-PB, no que se refere à segurança daqueles que o utilizam segundo a Portaria. Materiais e métodos: Dos 43 consultórios odontológicos visitados, 35aceitaram participar da pesquisa. Realizou-se a inspeçãovisual dos aparelhos de raios-X e entrevista. Foram observados itens como: fabricante, modelo, tensão; presença de seletorde tempo digital; formato e comprimento do localizador;presença de filtro e equivalência de alumínio adequada;existência do botão retardo; tamanho do fio que liga o painelde controle ao aparelho; tempo médio de exposição; existênciade procedimentos de monitoração periódicos e de programasde garantia de qualidade. Resultados: Foram observadas anormalidades em vários consultórios, como a persistência dobotão retardo (31,5%), e do seletor de tempo do tipo mecânico(34,3%). Os itens mais frequentemente encontrados em acordocom a legislação foram o comprimento do fio do controle e oformato do localizador. Notou-se também o desconhecimento da necessidade de calibração periódica do aparelho.Conclusão: Foram observadas muitas falhas na adoção das exigências da Portaria, podendo estar relacionadas com afalta de conscientização, por parte dos profissionais, dos efeitos deletérios das radiações ionizantes. Assim, tornam-senecessários uma maior fiscalização e esclarecimentos aos cirurgiões-dentistas a respeito da legislação vigente.


Introduction: In Brazil, the Ordinance 453/98 of the Health Surveillance Secretariat establishes a set of guidelines forradiology services to work with safety and quality, whichrequires the attendance of a number of items related to Xrayequipment. Objective: To evaluate the conditions of Xraymachines in dental offices in the city of Patos, PB, withregard to the safety of users according to the Ordinance. Materials and Methods: Of the 43 dental offices visited, 35agreed to participate. A visual inspection of the X-ray machine and an interview were carried out. The following information was collected: manufacturer, model, tension; presence ofdigital time selector; format and length of the locator; presenceof suitable filter and aluminum equivalence; existence of thedelay button; size of the wire which connects the controlpanel to the machine; mean duration of exposure; existenceof periodic monitoring procedures and quality assuranceprograms. Results: Some abnormalities were observed invarious offices, such as the persistence of the delay button(31.5%), and mechanical time selector (34.3%). The items most frequently found to comply with the law were the controlwire length and the locator format. We also observedunawareness of the need for periodic instrument calibration.Conclusion: Many failures were observed to adopt ther equirements of the Ordinance, which may be related to thelack of awareness by the professionals about the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation. Thus, it becomes necessary toperform more inspections of the offices as well as providedentists with clarifications about the law.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como propósito verificar o conhecimento de médicos e enfermeiros, inseridos na Estratégia de Saúde da Família, no município de Patos, Paraíba,sobre a saúde bucal para crianças de 0 a 36 meses. Material e Métodos: O estudo foi do tipo transversal, observacional, adotando como instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário específico. A amostra foi composta por 63 profissionais, sendo 28 médicos e 35 enfermeiros. Após coletados, os dados foram trabalhados pela estatística descritiva e submetidos ao teste estatístico Exato de Fisher considerado significativo ao nível de 5% (p<0,05). Resultados: Acerca do conhecimento à prevenção em odontologia, 96,8% dos profissionais perceberam a cárie dentária como uma doença, que surge pela falta de higiene e dieta inadequada. Relataram não saber como é removido obiofilme dental em crianças de 0 a 36 meses (46%) e que o flúor serve para evitar a cárie (71,4%). 65,1% dos profissionais compreendem que a primeira visita ao dentista deve ser realizada antes do nascimento dos dentes e 76,2% disseram que o dente decíduo pode ser tratado. Observou se diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as variáveis“orientação sobre saúde bucal” e gênero (p=0,04), onde11,1% do gênero masculino relataram não ter tido orientação quanto à saúde bucal. Conclusão: Conclui-se que existe uma fragilidade no conhecimento sobre saúde bucal, na primeira infância, o que torna importante a capacitação dessas classes para que o trabalho se torne mais integrado, com troca efetiva de saberes e práticas.


Objective: To verify the knowledge of physicians and nurses working in the Family Health Strategy in the city of Patos, PB, Brazil, in relation to the oral health of children aged 0 to 36months. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study using a specific questionnaire for data collection. A total of 63 professionals (28 physicians and 35nurses) were selected to compose the sample. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and then submitted to Fisher’s exact test, with a 5% significance level (p<0.05). Results: As to their knowledge about preventive dentistry, 96.8% of the professionals considered dental caries as a disease resulting from poor oral hygiene and inadequate nutrition. In addition, 46% of them did not know how dental biofilm can be removed in children (0-36 months old) and71.4% reported that fluoride might avoid dental caries. A totalof 65.1% of the professionals knew that the first visit to the dentist should be done before the primary teeth are erupted;and 76.2% said that deciduous teeth can be treated. A statistically significant difference was observed between the variables “oral health orientation” and gender (p=0.04), inwhich 11.1% of males reported having not received oral health orientation. Conclusion: There is a fragility in the knowledge of physicians and nurses on oral health in early childhood, which makes their training very important so that to promote an integrated health care based on an effective exchange of knowledge and practices.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a íntima relação entre os terceiros molares inferiores impactados e o canal mandibular, em imagens panorâmicas e de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico. Métodos: O universo foi constituído por 432 tomografias computadorizadas de feixe cônico (TCFC) e 713 radiografias panorâmicas. Obteve-se uma amostra de 13 pares de exames (radiografia panorâmica e TCFC), totalizando 20 dentes de pacientes atendidos em um serviço de radiologia odontológica particular da cidade de Patos - PB. Foram realizadas análises dos exames por dois avaliadores em dois momentos. As radiografias panorâmicas foram analisadas segundo as classificações de Winter, Félez-Gutiérrez e Koong. A TCFC foi considerada padrão-ouro para a avaliação. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva, utilizando o programa Microsoft Excel 2013, por meio de gráficos, tabelas e porcentagens. Resultados: Segundo a classificação de Winter, o posicionamento mais frequente dos terceiros molares inferiores foi o mesioangulado, os sinais radiográficos mais prevalentes foram o estreitamento do canal e ápices em ilha na classificação de Félez-Gutiérrez, e na classificação de Koong os sinais de estreitamento do canal e ápices superpostos foram os mais frequentes. Nas tomografias, o relacionamento mais frequente foi o canal passando inferiormente aos terceiros molares. Na comparação dos sinais radiográficos com o padrão-ouro, houve 45% de falso-positivos, tanto na classificação de FélezGutiérrez como na de Koong. Conclusão: A TCFC é o exame de escolha para o planejamento cirúrgico, nos casos onde há íntimo contato entre os terceiros molares inferiores com o canal mandibular


Objetctive: This research aimed to evaluate the intimate relationship between impacted lower third molars and the mandibular canal in panoramic images and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The sample consisted of 432 CBCTs and 713 panoramic radiographs. A sample of 13 pairs of exams (panoramic radiography and CBTC) were obtained, totaling 20 teeth from patients who received dental care at a private radiology unit in the city of Patos, PB, Brazil. Two different examiners carried out the analysis in two distinct moments. The panoramic radiographs were analyzed according to Winter, Félez-Gutierrez, and Koong classifications. The CBTC was considered the gold standard for the evaluation. Data were analyzed descriptively by using the Microsoft Excel 2013 program, through graphs, charts, and percentages. Results: According to the Winter classification, the most frequent position of the lower third molars was Mesio Angular. The most prevalent radiographic signs were narrowed channel and islet-shaped apex in the Félez-Gutiérrez classification, while in the Koong classification, the signs of narrowed channel and superimposed apexes were the most frequent. In the CBCT scans, the most frequent relationship was the channel passing below the third molars. In the comparison of the radiographic signs with the gold standard, 45% of false positives were found in both the Félez-Gutiérrez and Koong classifications. Conclusion: The CBTC is the best choice for the surgical plan, especially in the cases in which there is intimate contact between the lower third molars and the mandibular canal

ABSTRACT

A escolha profissional não é fácil, porque muitas angústias cercam esse processo. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo traçar o perfil e identificar os motivos de ingresso e evasão dos acadêmicos de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande. O estudo foi do tipo transversal, observacional, adotando como estratégia de coleta de dados o questionário. A amostra foi composta por 144 alunos regularmente matriculados no Curso de Odontologia da UFCG, cujo ingresso ocorreu no ano de 2013 e 2012 e no segundo semestre de 2011. A caracterização sociodemográfica dos discentes revelou que a maioria é do gênero feminino (69,4%), oriundos do Estado da Paraíba (53,5%) e residem com os amigos (49,3%). Dentre possíveis causas de evasão, 59% dos graduandos afirmaram ter prestado vestibular para outros cursos antes de ingressar na odontologia e 22,9% ainda pretendem se submeter a um novo vestibular. Quanto aos motivos de escolha, a maior parte dos participantes respondeu o fato da odontologia ser da área de saúde (30,1%) e a vocação (28,7%). Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante entre as variáveis "prestar um novo vestibular" e "ocorrência de insatisfação com o curso" (p = 0,03). Assim, apesar de um número moderado de acadêmicos relatar a vontade de prestar novo vestibular, a maioria está satisfeita com o curso.


The career choice is not easy, because a lot of feelings encircle this process. This study had the objective to set the profile and identify the reasons for entrance and dropout of undergraduate dental students from Federal University of Campina Grande. It was a transversal, observational study, using a questionnaire as a strategy for data collection. The sample consisted in 144 students regularly enrolled on the dental undergraduate of Federal University of Campina Grande, which the entrance was in 2013 and 2012 and second semester of 2011. The socio demographic characterization of the students revealed that the majority is female (69.4%), from State of Paraiba (53.5%) and live with roommates (49.3%). Among the possible reasons for dropout, 59% said they had done a college entrance exam for another course before entrance in the dental graduation and 22,9% intend to have a new college entrance exam. About reasons of choosing, most participants answered that dentistry is part of healthcare (30.1%) and vocation (28.7%). There were statistically significant differences between the variables "having a new college entrance exam" and the dissatisfaction with the course (p = 0.03). So, in spite of a moderate number of students reported the wish to have a new college entrance exam, most of them are happy with the course.

ABSTRACT

A Comunicação bucosinusal é caracterizada como uma condição mórbida relativamente frequente na prática odontológica. Apesar de várias condições estarem relacionadas a este tipo de comunicação, a exodontia de dentes posteriores apresenta-se como o principal fator etiológico. A literatura relata que a técnica de utilização do Corpo Adiposo de Bichat é simples e apresenta aplicabilidade. O mesmo apresenta abundante vascularização, o que permitecicatrização e resultados favoráveis quando de sua utilização. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de tratamento de comunicação oroantral persistente utilizando o Corpo Adiposo de Bichat. O paciente se submeteu a exodontia do elemento 16 anteriormente, a qual resultou em uma comunicação oroantral. Essa afecção foi tratada primariamente utilizando-se a técnica do retalho vestibular, a qual demonstrou resultado negativo, em decorrência de necrose do retalho. O mesmo procurou atendimento odontológico num serviço privado de Cirurgia Bucomaxilofacial, relatando a passagem persistente de restos de alimentos e líquidos para a cavidade nasal. O paciente foi então submetido ao tratamento cirúrgico de enxerto do Corpo Adiposo de Bichat e acompanhado por seis meses, onde foi possível observar o sucesso da técnica. Esta técnica é indicada quando há necessidade da manutenção do fundo de sulco ou insucesso de outras técnicas.


The bucosinusal Communication is characterized as a relatively frequent morbid condition in dental practice. Despite several conditions are related to this type of communication, the extraction of posterior teeth is presented as the main etiological factor. The literature reports that the use of the technique Adipose Bichat body is simple and has applicability. The same features abundant vasculature, which allows healing and favorable results when in use. The objective of this study is to report a case of persistent communication oroantral treatment using Adipose Body of Bichat. The patient underwent extraction of the element 16 before, which resulted in an oroantral communication. This condition was treated primarily using the technique of vestibular flap, which showed negative results, due to flap necrosis. The same looked for dental care in a private service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, reporting persistent passage of food waste and liquid into the nasal cavity. The patient then underwent surgical treatment of graft fat pad of Bichat and was followed for six months, when it was possible to observe the technique's success. This technique is indicated when it's need to maintain the gutter area or failure of other techniques.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study investigated the possible correlation between the mineralization of the second molars and the chronological age of a sample population of the state of Paraiba, Brazil. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One thousand eight hundred fifty-four digitized panoramic images using a scanner of a private dental radiology service were obtained in six months. Of these, 457 were selected from patients aged 4.6 to 16 years who met certain criteria. The images were assessed twice by a radiologist with 5 years experience. A minimum interval of 30 days between the evaluations of the same patient was established. To analyze the relationship between chronological age, calcification level proposed by Demirjian et al in 1973, gender, and tooth, a multiple linear regression model was adjusted, taking age as the response variable (p<0.05). RESULTS: The gender and calcification level were significantly correlated with the age of the patients (p<0.05). There was a significant difference between the average age of the patients' upper teeth compared to the lower ones in both genders (p<0.05). The dental development occurred earlier in female individuals than in male ones, and there was no significant difference between the right and left second permanent molars. CONCLUSION: It was observed that ethnic variables are related to certain parameters of age and sex identification in the Brazilian population, providing important information for forensic evaluations.
