ABSTRACT

Understanding the cause, severity, and elapsed time for the restoration of the functions of maxillofacial injuries can contribute to the establishment of clinical priorities aiming at effective treatment and further prevention of facial trauma. The objective of this study was to understand the factors associated with the restoration of mastication, ocular, and nasal functions in the face of trauma victims, estimating their recovery time after surgical treatment. We analyzed 114 medical records of patients treated at the Hospital Montenegro, who attended follow-up consultations for up to 180 days. For analysis of the recovery time, we performed survival analysis, followed by COX analysis. We observed that half of the patients recovered their functions within 20 days. The average time for recovery from trauma in the zygomatic-orbital-malar-nasal complex was 11 days, and in the maxillary-mandibular complex, 21 days (HR: 1.5 [0.99 2.3], p = 0.055). Although functional reestablishment has reached high rates after the surgical approach, it is necessary to analyze the failing cases, as well as the economic impacts and the prevention strategies associated with facial trauma, to improve the service to the population.

RESUMO O entendimento da causa, da gravidade e do tempo decorrido para o restabelecimento das funções de lesões maxilofaciais pode contribuir para o estabelecimento de prioridades clínicas objetivando o efetivo tratamento e prevenção dos traumatismos de face. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender quais os fatores associados ao restabelecimento das funções mastigatórias, oculares e nasais em vítimas de trauma de face, estimando o tempo para recuperação das funções, após o tratamento cirúrgico. Foram analisados 114 prontuários de pacientes atendidos no Hospital de Montenegro que compareceram às consultas de acompanhamento por até 180 dias. Para a análise do tempo para a recuperação, foi realizada a análise de sobrevida, seguida da análise de COX. Observou-se que metade dos pacientes recuperaram as funções em até 20 dias, sendo que o tempo médio para recuperação dos traumas no complexo zigomático-orbitário-malar-nasal foi de 11 dias e do complexo maxilo - mandibular de 21 dias (HR: 1,5 (0,99 - 2,3) p=0,055). Embora o restabelecimento das funções tenha atingido taxas elevadas após abordagem cirúrgicas, faz-se necessária a análise dos casos de insucessos bem como os impactos econômicos e as estratégias de prevenção associados aos traumas de face a fim de qualificar o serviço prestado à população.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Children are an important portion of the population of the territories covered by Primary Health Care (PHC), with needs and characteristics that can be managed at this level of care. Therefore, it is essential that professionals working in PHC be capable of providing child care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of dentists working in primary healthcare (PHC) in a pediatric dentistry distance learning (DL) course, and to investigate the relationship between the grades earned on questionnaires applied after each course module and features of their personal and professional profile. METHOD: The study used a convenience sample of 201 dentists working in PHC, who enrolled in a DL course offered by a telehealth center in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The course consisted of video classes on restorative dentistry, endodontics, dental trauma, and clinical management in pediatric dentistry. After completing each module, each participant was asked to answer a questionnaire to assess their acquisition of immediate knowledge. Student's t-test and the ANOVA test were used to assess the relationship between the mean grade earned and the variables of sex, age, type of training institution, time since graduation, and years working in PHC. RESULTS: A significant relationship was observed between type of training institution (public) and the grade earned on the restorative dentistry questionnaire, and also between time since graduation and the grade earned on the dental trauma questionnaire (p < 0.05). No relationship was observed between the personal/professional variables and the grades earned on the endodontics and clinical management questionnaires. Grades were significantly lower on the endodontics questionnaire (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION: The large number of dentists enrolled in this DL course is a demonstration that there is great interest in pediatric dentistry contents. Improvement of DL courses may lead to the enhancement of professionals and their skills, and to a significant improvement in the quality of care provided to children in public health networks. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that training in a public institution and a longer time since graduation positively influenced the grades earned on the restorative dentistry and dental trauma questionnaires, respectively.

ABSTRACT

This article sought to measure lack of access and use of oral health services by elderly residents of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional population study carried out in 2014, in the city's urban zone, including individuals aged 60 years or more. Sociodemographic and self-reported needs variables were associated with outcomes. We used Poisson regression for the crude and adjusted analyses. We interviewed 1,451 elderly individuals using a structured questionnaire. The prevalence of lack of access in the previous year was of 1.8% (95%CI: 0.7-3.0). Elderly individuals who never had a consultation were 3.1% (95%CI: 2.2-4.0) and the prevalence of use of oral health services in the previous years was 38.3%(95%CI 36.0-41.0). Use in the previous year was positively associated with the following variables: younger age (PR = 1.16), having a partner (PR = 1.28), high educational level (PR = 1.31), mouth or teeth problems (PR = 1.93), need for dental prosthesis (PR = 1.36) and being edentulous (PR = 3.11). Lack of access in the previous year was low. Oral health service use was higher than that observed in other states. Findings seem to reflect the expansion of oral health services in the city, especially in the public network, and are useful for health policy planning.


O objetivo foi medir a falta de acesso e a utilização dos serviços de saúde bucal por idosos de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Estudo transversal de base populacional foi realizado no ano de 2014, na zona urbana do município, incluindo indivíduos com 60 anos e mais. Variáveis sociodemográficas e de necessidade autorreferidas foram associadas aos desfechos. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson para as análises bruta e ajustada. Foram entrevistados 1.451 idosos mediante um questionário estruturado. Falta de acesso no último ano alcançou uma prevalência de 1,8% (IC95%: 0,7-3,0). Idosos que nunca consultaram somaram 3,1% (IC95%: 2,2-4,0) e a utilização de serviços de saúde bucal no último ano registrou prevalência de 38,3% (IC95%: 36,0-41,0). A utilização no último ano apresentou associação positiva com as seguintes variáveis: faixa etária mais jovem (RP = 1,16), ter companheiro (RP = 1,28), alta escolaridade (RP = 1,31), problema na boca ou nos dentes (RP = 1,93), necessidade de prótese dentária (RP = 1,36) e ser edêntulo (RP = 3,11). A falta de acesso no último ano foi baixa. A utilização de serviços de saúde bucal foi mais alta do que a observada em outros estudos. Os achados parecem refletir a expansão desses serviços, particularmente na rede pública, sendo úteis para as ações de planejamento das políticas de saúde.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to assess the level of satisfaction of dentists working in primary healthcare (PHC) with a Distance learning (DL) course in pediatric dentistry offered by the TeleHealthRS center, and to the investigate possible associations between the variables indicative of their satisfaction and their performance on the questionnaires applied before and after the course. METHODS: The course was offered in 2015 by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) together with the TeleHealthRS center in Brazil. Data were collected on the participants' personal and professional profile, their pre- and post-course knowledge about pediatric dentistry, and their satisfaction with the course. Student's t-test and the ANOVA test were used to assess the possible associations between the variables indicative of their satisfaction and their performance on the questionnaires applied before and after the course. RESULTS: Overall, the participants were satisfied with the course, however, no statistically significant association was found between the variables indicative of their satisfaction and the grades they earned on the pre- and post-course questionnaires. CONCLUSION: The available pediatric dentistry course received positive evaluations from the participants, constituting a possible strategy for the qualification of primary care dentists. Future studies are warranted to further investigate the expectations of DL course participants, aiming to enhance the quality of future editions of this learning modality for pediatric dentistry contents.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: an integrative review of the treatment of oral candidiasis, root caries and xerostomia among the elderly population, focusing on Primary Health Care, was carried out. Method: scientific articles were collected from the MEDLINE/PUBMED database using the keywords "Geriatric dentistry" and "Oral health", crossed with corresponding descriptors, together with specific terms for the pathologies studied, and with "the clinical trial" filter activated. The abstracts of the articles were read by three researchers. Result: oral candidiasis: six randomized clinical trials and one quasi-experimental design study, on the treatment of prosthetic stomatitis by medication and/or the disinfection of dentures by different techniques, were identified; root caries: three randomized clinical trials were included, which tested the use of mouthwash with chlorhexidine solution and oral hygiene instruction associated or otherwise with other drugs; and xerostomia: two articles were analyzed using various medications, and the functional massage of the salivary glands and associated muscles. Conclusion: The results demonstrate a variety of treatment options for the studied clinical situations, although these should be adapted to the characteristics of the services and the population, as standard treatment in Primary Health Care has not been established. Strategies based on soft technologies, such as health education, seem to provide good results. The present study provides additional knowledge for health professionals in search of more resolutive and qualified dental care for the elderly in primary health care. AU


Resumo Objetivo: revisão integrativa sobre o tratamento de candidíase bucal, cárie radicular e xerostomia com foco na Atenção Primária à Saúde, na população idosa. Método: busca de artigos na base de dados MEDLINE/PUBMED sobre as alterações citadas, com os descritores "Geriatric dentistry", "Oral health", cruzados com descritores correspondentes às três patologias, ativado o filtro "Clinical trial", como também termos específicos para as situações clínicas estudadas. Foram excluídos os estudos que não possuíam o escopo da Atenção Primária ou da odontogeriatria. Resultado: candidíase bucal: foram analisados seis ensaios-clínicos randomizados e um quase-experimento sobre o tratamento da estomatite protética por medicamentos e/ou pela desinfecção das próteses por diferentes técnicas; cárie radicular: três ensaios clínicos randomizados foram incluídos, os quais testaram o uso de bochechos com solução de clorexidina e instrução de higiene bucal associada ou não a outros fármacos; e xerostomia: foram analisados dois artigos que utilizaram diversos fármacos e a massagem funcional de glândulas salivares e músculos associados. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstram variadas opções de tratamento para as situações clinicas destacadas devendo ser adequadas as características dos serviços e da população atendida, tendo em vista que não foi estabelecido um tratamento padrão a ser utilizado na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Estratégias com foco em tecnologias leves, tais como a educação em saúde, parecem prover bons resultados. Todavia, o estudo agrega conhecimento aos profissionais de saúde na busca de um atendimento odontológico cada vez mais resolutivo e qualificado para o idoso na atenção primária à saúde. AU

ABSTRACT

A adoção da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) como modelo de atenção primária à saúde (APS) no Brasil proporcionou mudanças na organização de serviços e nos processos de trabalho dos profissionais da saúde pública, dentro do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). No que se refere à saúde bucal, a inserção de equipes odontológicas na ESF, a partir dos anos 2000, também possibilitou, além do aumento do número de cirurgiões-dentistas na APS, alterações no modelo de atenção à saúde bucal. Com o declínio da cárie em populações mais jovens, a doença periodontal e o edentulismo têm assumido papel de destaque como os principais agravos a afetarem a população idosa. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre o tratamento da doença periodontal e do edentulismo em idosos com foco na APS nas bases de dados do MEDLINE/ PUBMED publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Este trabalho contribui para a qualificação baseada em evidências dos profissionais da odontologia na atenção primária. A pesquisa, ao abordar tratamentos para doença periodontal e edentulismo em idosos, abrange assuntos que serão de grande importância para os serviços, nos próximos anos, considerando-se que o envelhecimento populacional e o acesso dessa população aos serviços se tornará mais frequente e regular com o aumento do número de cirurgiões- dentistas nas Estratégias de Saúde da Família capacitados para orientar suas práticas baseadas em evidências.


Adopting the Family Health Strategy (FHS) as the primary health care (PHC) model in Brazil has brought about changes in the organization of services and in the work processes of public health professionals, within the Unified Health System (UHS). With regard to oral health, the inclusion of dental teams in the FHS, beginning in the 2000s, also made changes in the oral health care model possible, in addition to the increase in the number of dentists in the PHC system. With the decline in tooth decay in younger populations, periodontal disease and edentulism have assumed prominent roles as the main disorders affecting the elderly. In this context, this work aims to carry out an integrative review of the literature on the treatment of periodontal disease and edentulism in the elderly, focusing on PHC in the MEDLINE/PUBMED databases published in the last 10 years. This work contributes to the qualification of evidence-based dentistry professionals in primary health care. In addressing treatments for periodontal disease and edentulism in the elderly, it covers subjects which will be of great importance for the services in the coming years, considering the aging population and that this population's access to services will become more regular and frequent with the increase in the number of dentists in the Family Health Strategies able to guide evidence-based practices.

ABSTRACT

Neste estudo transversal analítico e descritivo, buscou-se descrever as condições de saúde bucal das crianças de 5 anos moradoras da Vila Dique, em Porto Alegre, no ano de 2011. Foram entrevistados os pais e examinadas 64 crianças das 69 cadastradas na Unidade de Saúde Santíssima Trindade (USST). Os exames realizados em relação à cárie dentária e má oclusão seguiram os critérios propostos pelo SB Brasil 2010. Os resultados, em relação à cárie, mostraram 48% de crianças livres de cárie, ceo-d médio de 2,1 dentes por indivíduo, e 10% das crianças com ceo-d maior que 1 com dentes restaurados. Os números em relação à má oclusão mostraram 30% das crianças examinadas com chave de canino classe II ou IIII, 17% com mordida aberta e 20% das crianças com mordida cruzada posterior. Segundo a análise estatística, a única variável estatisticamente significante, com desfecho ceo-d igual a zero, presente no questionário, foi motivo da última consulta: os pacientes cujos pais consultaram a última vez por revisão tiveram mais frequentemente o ceo-d igual a zero. Nessas condições, devem tornar-se prioridade para essa Unidade de Saúde a questão de cárie não tratada, assim como a prevenção da má oclusão. Futuros estudos nessa comunidade com outras faixas etárias mostram-se necessários para traçar um perfil epidemiológico de saúde bucal, o qual possa subsidiar a estruturação da atenção odontológica e basear ações de prevenção e promoção de saúde nessa população.
