Profile and satisfaction of patients with special health care needs assisted in dental specialty centers.

This study aimed to analyze the profile and level of satisfaction of users served in the dental specialty for patients with special healthcare needs (SHCN), based on the Brazilian Program for Improving Access and Quality ("PMAQ") of the Centers for Dental Specialties ("CEO"). This observational, quantitative study used a national secondary database in the public domain. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test with Bonferroni correction, Student's t-test, and log-linear Poisson regression. Most users of the specialty "SHCN" interviewed were female (74.1% in 2014 and 68.8% in 2018), with a mean age of 41.7 (2014) and 44.9 (2018) years. For every 100 respondents who considered it regular or bad, 171 considered it good, and 199 considered it very good. Regarding satisfaction with the host of the "CEO," there were differences between the regions of Brazil (Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and South). There has been an increase in the number of "CEO" that serve users with autism spectrum disorder. Generally, the "CEO" network provides humanized and welcoming services, presenting better performance in the second evaluation cycle, according to user perception.

Influences in food selection during complementary feeding in breastfeeding infants: A systematic review and metasynthesis of qualitative studies.

In the transition period from breastfeeding to the introduction of complementary feeding, the choice of food is extremely important for the child's development as many factors may be related. This study aims to investigate, through a systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis, influence in the selection of foods in the introduction of complementary foods for children, including qualitative studies without language or publication period restrictions. Searches were performed in PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, Cinahl, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus. Initially, 12,489 articles were selected for tittle reading, 13 were included in the review. Four analytical themes related to factors influencing complementary feeding were identified: family socioeconomic conditions, cultural and family aspects, guidance and advice from health professionals, and factors inherent to the infant. Economic factors, such as the opportunity to offer foods not consumed during the parents' childhood, were emphasized. The influence of grandmothers' opinions and community beliefs and traditions were considered. Trust in pediatricians and community health agents' advice, although considered, conflicted with cultural and family traditions. Mothers/caregivers often preferred to offer foods the child shows preference for, rather than introducing new flavors. The findings underscore the need for a better understanding of qualitative aspects.

Candidíase bucal associada ao uso de prótese parcial removível em paciente infantil / Oral candidosis associated to the use of a removable prosthetic appliance on a pediatric patient

A reabilitação protética pode fazer parte da realidade de pacientes pediátricos e o procedimento reabilitador exige uma frequente supervisão devido à necessidade de orientações de higiene e manutenção da saúde bucal. Quanto a esta última, uma das principais alterações identificadas em pacientes adultos é decorrente da presença de microorganismos oportunistas, em especial a Candida albicans. Entretanto, em pacientes infantis, tal correlação não tem sido apresentada. Neste sentido, o objetivo do presente artigo é relatar um caso de paciente pediátrico que fez uso de prótese removível, no qual foi observado clínica e laboratorialmente a presença de candidíase.
