RESUMO
RESUMO Este estudo objetivou analisar os fatores contextuais do desempenho do atendimento odontológico para gestantes na Atenção Básica entre municípios baianos. A série temporal utilizou dados secundários dos 417 municípios, entre 2018 e 2022. O desfecho foi a meta do indicador de proporção de gestantes com atendimento odontológico por município: insuficiente (<60,0%) ou suficiente (≥60,0%). As variáveis contextuais foram: fatores sociodemográficos (Porte Populacional, Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal, Produto Interno Bruto municipal per capita - PIB, Índice de Gini da renda domiciliar per capita, Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social e Núcleos Regionais de Saúde) e serviço de saúde (Cobertura de Estratégia Saúde da Família - ESF e de Saúde Bucal). Realizou-se regressão de Poisson uni e multivariada (p<0,05). No último quadrimestre de cada ano: 2,9% (2018), 2,4% (2019), 5,3% (2020), 37,2% (2021) e 71,2% (2022) dos municípios atingiram a meta. No terceiro quadrimestre de 2021, os municípios com menor PIB, e em 2021 e 2022, com maior cobertura de ESF, apresentaram maior chance de atingir a meta. Conclui-se que houve aumento da proporção de atendimento odontológico para gestante ao longo dos anos entre os municípios baianos e atingir a meta foi associado a fatores sociodemográficos e de serviço de saúde.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the contextual factors of the performance of dental care for pregnant women in Primary Care among municipalities in Bahia. The time series used secondary data from 417 municipalities between 2018-2022. The outcome was the target indicator for the proportion of pregnant women with dental care per municipality: insufficient (<60.0%) or sufficient (≥60.0%). The contextual variables were: sociodemographic factors (Population Size, Municipal Human Development Index, municipal Gross Domestic Product per capita - GDP, Gini Index of household income per capita, Social Vulnerability Index and Regional Health Centers) and health service (Coverage of Family Health Strategy - ESF and Oral Health). Poisson regression was performed (p<0.05). In the last four months of each year: 2.9% (2018), 2.4% (2019), 5.3% (2020), 37.2% (2021) and 71.2% (2022) of the municipalities reached the goal. In the third four months of 2021, municipalities with lower GDP, and in 2021 and 2022, with greater ESF coverage, had a greater chance of reaching the target. It is concluded that there was an increase in the proportion of dental care for pregnant women over the years among the municipalities in Bahia, and achieving the goal was associated with sociodemographic and health service factors.
RESUMO
Abstract Objective: To compare the use of sealants in permanent molars between public and private dentists in Brazil. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical web survey study. The convenience sample consisted of dentists in Brazil who answered a pre-tested online form released via social media between July and October 2021. Descriptive analysis was performed using absolute and relative frequencies (%) and associations using the Chi-square test (p<0.05). Results: Brazilian professionals participated in the study (n=2,244). Comparing the professionals from the public service with those from the private service, the former had a higher positive perception of the use of sealants as a preventive (92.4% vs. 81.1%, p<0.00l) and therapeutic procedure (90.7% vs. 82.4%, p=0.00l), higher percentage of non-invasive (91.7% vs. 83.8%, p<0.00l) and invasive (22.8% vs. 12.0%, p< 0.001) techniques. Professionals from the private service reported more frequently that they did not use sealants than those from the public service (14.0% vs. 4.8%, p<0.00l). Resin sealant (97.7% vs. 94.9%, p=0.0l5) and Flow resin (62.0% vs. 54.3%, p=0.013) were the most used by professionals in the private service. The use of glass ionomer cement was not associated with the type of service (75.1% vs. 77.2%, p=0.172), nor was the use of adhesives (0.6% vs. 1.4%, p=0.195) or resin with Giomer technology (1.9% vs. 2.2%, p=0.856) (p>0.05). Conclusion: The percentage of use of sealants among dentists in Brazil is high, especially among professionals in the public service, and the most used materials were resinous sealants and glass ionomer cement.

This cross-sectional study examined factors associated with occupational stress among 384 dentists working in the private sector in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Data were collected from August to October 2020 through an online form. Two outcomes - (1) anxiety and worry and (2) preparation and safety for work during the pandemic - constituted a proxy for occupational stress. The independent variables were grouped according to the explanatory theoretical model into individual, organisational and extra-organisational factors. Associations were tested by bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Although prepared and confident, dentists felt anxious and worried about providing clinical care. Women, younger respondents and those who received no guidance on safety measures were more likely to report insecurity and unpreparedness. Younger professionals, those who did not participate in decision-making and who only sometimes had an assistant for four-hand work, were more likely to feel anxious and worried. In addition to individual factors, work organisation factors were associated with occupational stress among dentists in the first year of the pandemic.
O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi analisar os fatores associados ao estresse ocupacional entre cirurgiões-dentistas atuantes no setor privado no primeiro ano da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Incluiu 384 profissionais do estado do Paraná, cujos dados foram obtidos entre agosto e outubro de 2020 por meio de formulário online. Dois desfechos compuseram proxy de estresse ocupacional: (1) ansiedade e preocupação e (2) preparo e segurança para o trabalho durante a pandemia. As variáveis independentes foram agrupadas segundo modelo teórico explicativo em fatores individuais, organizacionais e extraorganizacionais. As associações foram testadas por regressão logística bi e multivariada. Apesar de preparados e seguros, os profissionais se sentiam ansiosos e preocupados para o atendimento clínico. Mulheres, mais jovens e que não receberam orientações sobre as medidas de segurança apresentaram maiores chances de relatar insegurança e despreparo. Profissionais mais jovens, que não participavam da tomada de decisões e que às vezes dispunham de auxiliar para o trabalho a quatro mãos, tiveram maiores chances de se sentirem ansiosos e preocupados. Além dos fatores individuais, fatores organizacionais do trabalho estão associados ao estresse ocupacional entre cirurgiões-dentistas no primeiro ano da pandemia.

RESUMO
O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a expansão da telessaúde na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) no Brasil e comparar as regiões geográficas. Estudo de série histórica com dados secundários da Avaliação Externa do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB) obtidos a partir dos módulos I e II do 1º (2012), do 2º (2014) e do 3º (2018) ciclos. Os equipamentos de Tecnologia da Informação e o uso da telessaúde foram associados aos ciclos e às regiões geográficas pelo teste qui-quadrado ajustados pelo teste z de Bonferroni, e a comparação entre a média de equipamentos foi realizada pelo teste Kruskal-Wallis (p<0,05). Houve expansão no uso da telessaúde pelas Equipes de Atenção Básica (eAB) entre 2012 (12,7%), 2014 (27,7%) e 2018 (54,6%) (p<0,001). Houve aumento da média de todos equipamentos disponíveis para as eAB (p<0,001). Apesar do aumento na disponibilidade de equipamentos e do uso da telessaúde entre os ciclos e as regiões geográficas, as disparidades regionais se mantiveram, com as piores proporções no Norte e no Nordeste
The objective of the study was to analyze the expansion of telehealth in Primary Health Care in Brazil and make a comparison between Brazilian geographic regions. The historical series study with secondary data from the External Evaluation of the Access and Quality Improvement National Program of Primary Care obtained from modules I and II of the 1st (2012), 2nd (2014) and 3rd (2018) cycles. Information Technology equipment and the use of telehealth were associated with cycles and geographic regions by the chi-square test adjusted by Bonferroni's z test and comparison between the mean of equipment, by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05). The proportion of use of telehealth by the Primary Care Teams (eAB) increased between 2012 (12.7%), 2014 (27.7%) and 2018 (54.6%). There was expansion in the average of all equipment available for eAB (p<0.001). Despite the increase in the availability of equipment and use of telehealth between cycles and geographic regions, regional disparities remained, with worse proportions in North and Northeast regions

Abstract This study aimed to compare the availability of supplies and amalgam and composite resin restorations among Oral Health Teams (OHT) in Brazilian regions. Secondary data were extracted from Modules I and II of the 1st (2012) and V and VI of the 2nd (2014) and 3rd cycle (2017) of the external evaluation of the National Program for Access and Quality in Primary Care2. The proportions between regions and cycles were compared using the Chi-square test with the z-test adjusted by the Bonferroni method (p<0.05). Among 2012, 2014, and 2017 there was a significant reduction in the proportion of OHT that performed amalgam restorations (87.5%, 89.2%, and 80.2%; p<0.001) and an increase in resin composite (92.5 %, 97.7%, and 99.0%; p<0.001), with the same trend in Brazilian regions (p<0.001). Amalgamator availability decreased among 2012 (99.0%), 2014 (98.4%) and 2017 (85.6%) (p<0.001). Amalgam availability was lower in 2017 (80.1%), compared to 2012 (87.5%) and 2014 (97.5%) (p<0.001). The availability of light curing decreased between 2012 (99.0%), 2014 (98.4%) and 2017 (85.6%) (p<0.001), being less available in the North (95.7%) (p<0.001). The light-curing resin increased between 2012 (94.1%), 2014 (96.6%) and 2017 (97.0%) (p<0.001), with no increase only in the North (p=0.134). While there was a reduction in supplies and amalgam restoration, there was an increase in supplies and resin composite restorations in the period evaluated in all Brazilian regions. However, regional disparities are still evident, with fewer supplies of restorative services in the North region.
Resumo Este estudo objetivou comparar a disponibilidade de fornecimentos e restaurações de amálgama e resina composta entre as Equipas de Saúde Oral (OHT) por regiões brasileiras. Os dados secundários foram extraídos dos módulos I e II do 1º (2012) e V e VI do 2º (2014) e 3º ciclo (2017) da avaliação externa do Programa Nacional de Acesso e Qualidade em Cuidados Primários. As proporções entre regiões e ciclos foram comparadas utilizando o teste Qui-quadrado com o teste z ajustado pelo método de Bonferroni (p<0,05). Entre 2012, 2014, e 2017 houve uma redução significativa na proporção de OHT que realizou restaurações de amálgama (87,5%, 89,2%, e 80,2%; p<0,001) e um aumento na resina composta (92,5%, 97,7%, e 99,0%; p<0,001), com a mesma tendência nas regiões brasileiras (p<0,001). A disponibilidade de amalgamadores diminuiu entre 2012 (99,0%), 2014 (98,4%) e 2017 (85,6%) (p<0,001). A disponibilidade de amálgama foi menor em 2017 (80,1%), em comparação com 2012 (87,5%) e 2014 (97,5%) (p<0,001). A disponibilidade de polimerização por luz diminuiu entre 2012 (99,0%), 2014 (98,4%) e 2017 (85,6%) (p<0,001), estando menos disponível no Norte (95,7%) (p<0,001). A resina fotopolimerizadora aumentou entre 2012 (94,1%), 2014 (96,6%) e 2017 (97,0%) (p<0,001), sem aumento apenas no Norte (p=0,134). Embora tenha havido uma redução nos fornecimentos e restauração de amálgamas, houve um aumento nos fornecimentos e restaurações de resina composta no período avaliado em todas as regiões brasileiras. Contudo, as disparidades regionais são ainda evidentes, com menos oferta de serviços de restauração na região Norte.
RESUMO
The aim of this study was two-fold: (1) to describe the surveillance and biosafety measures adopted by dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants who worked in the Southern Region of Brazil and (2) to evaluate access to information in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a multicenter and cross-sectional design, using a self-applied and validated online questionnaire. The availability of health-care-related supplies and the adoption of biosafety measures recommended by the Technical Note of the National Health Surveillance Agency No. 04/2020 were analyzed. A total of 2560 Brazilian workers participated (75.8% dentists, 15.7% dental assistants and 8.5% dental hygienists), 52.7% from the public and 37.7% from the private sector. Approximately 70% of the individuals reported being away from work during the pandemic. The surveillance measures adopted with higher mean scores were the investigation of respiratory infection symptoms when scheduling appointments and the adoption of distancing in the waiting room. Of the biosafety measures to avoid aerosols, the procedures with lower compliance were those related to the use of intraoral radiographs and rubber dams. Moreover, the correct use of personal protective equipment at work seems to be related to self-perceived stress and anxiety. Worryingly, high access to information through non-governmental documents was observed. Permanent health education policies should reinforce safe practices and encourage workers to implement biosafety and surveillance measures in health services.

Aim To analyze associations between sociodemographic factors, self-perception, self-care practices in health with Oral Health Literacy (OHL) levels among users of Primary Health Care (PHC). Methods A cross-sectional and analytical study was performed in Piracicaba (São Paulo), Brazil, in 2018, with a convenience sample of users of PHC that were aged over 18 years. Data were collected with a questionnaire by a trained dentist in two Family Health Units. The outcome variable was OHL, measured by the OHLA-B instrument, which was dichotomized by median into low (≤8 point) and high (>8 point). The independent variables were sociodemographic conditions (age, sex, self-declared skin color, and education), self-perceived oral health and self-care practices in health (tooth brushing frequency, smoking habits, reason for the last visit to the dentist, and source of health information search). Unadjusted and adjusted analyses were performed between OHL and independent variables for multiple logistic regression model (p≤0.05). Results The sample consisted of 450 adults. A total of 54.7% had a low OHL. After adjusting for sex and age, OHL was associated with skin color (OR=0.57; 95%CI=0.37-085), educational level (OR=4.92; 95%CI=3.16-7.79), health information from health professionals (OR=2.40; 95%CI=1.42-4.16) and internet (OR=2.88; 95%CI=1.59-5.32), toothbrushing >1 time a day (OR=3.23; 95%CI=1.27-9.92) and smokers (OR=0.42; 95%CI=0.23-0.73). After adjusting for sex, age and income, OHL was associated with (OR=0.63; 95%CI=0.41-096), educational level (OR=4.06; 95%CI=2.57-6.51) and smokers (OR=0.48; 95%CI=0.26-0.84). Conclusions Low OHL was associated with socioeconomic factors, source of information and smoking. This fact highlights the importance of health professionals to promote OHL.

Resumo Introdução O nível da literacia em saúde pode ser um fator que influencia os comportamentos e a saúde dos indivíduos. Objetivo Analisar a percepção de adultos e idosos sobre os seus comportamentos e sua condição de saúde bucal segundo o seu nível de literacia em saúde (LS). Método O presente estudo qualitativo foi realizado com adultos e idosos que que participaram da 'Coorte de Saúde Bucal de Adultos de Piracicaba', sendo classificados conforme os três perfis de perda dentária seguintes: 1) nunca ter perdido dentes; 2) incidência de perda dentária ≥ 4 dentes; 3) edêntulo total e com nível de literacia em saúde alta e baixa de acordo com a variável LS dicotomizada a partir da mediana. Para a coleta dos dados, foi feita uma nova entrevista domiciliar gravada com uso de roteiro-guia e após a transcrição foi realizada a análise de conteúdo. Resultados Independente do nível de LS, os indivíduos identificaram fatores de risco e proteção determinantes para o processo saúde-doença bucal. No entanto, os entrevistados com baixa LS apresentaram uma maior propensão aos comportamentos de risco. Os fatores individuais foram preponderantes para o entendimento de sua condição bucal, seja pelo sentimento de descuido ou de responsabilidade pela falta de acesso aos serviços odontológicos, seja pelo aspecto socioeconômico ou geográfico. Conclusão Os indivíduos com alta LS apresentaram uma capacidade argumentativa e um entendimento maiores sobre os comportamentos saudáveis, como higiene bucal e uso regular do serviço odontológico, independente do tipo de serviço utilizado.
Abstract Background The level of health literacy can be a factor that influences the behaviors and health of individuals. Objective To analyze the perception of adults and the elderly on their behaviors and their oral health conditions according to their level of health literacy (HL). Method The qualitative study was carried out with adults and the elderly who participated in the "Piracicaba Adult Oral Health Cohort" and had been classified into three tooth loss profiles: 1) never having lost teeth; 2) incidence of tooth loss ≥ 4 teeth; 3) total toothlessness and the level of health literacy dichotomized in the median at high and low HL. There was a new home interview recorded using a script, and after transcription, content analysis was performed. Results The individuals, regardless of the HL level, identified risk and protective factors that were decisive in the oral health-disease process. However, individuals with low HL were more adept at risky behavior. The individual factors were preponderant for the understanding of his oral condition, either by the feeling of carelessness or by the feeling of responsibility for the lack of access to dental services, either by the socioeconomic or geographical aspect. Conclusion Individuals with high HL showed greater argumentative capacity and understanding of healthy behaviors, such as oral hygiene and regular use of dental services, regardless of the type of service used.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi identificar adequações quanto à utilização de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual e organização do processo de trabalho no atendimento odontológico ambulatorial no Paraná durante o primeiro ano da pandemia da Covid-19. A amostra de conveniência incluiu 1.105 profissionais de saúde bucal (cirurgiões-dentistas, técnicos e auxiliares em saúde bucal) durante o primeiro ano da pandemia (agosto a outubro de 2020). Formulário on-line (Google Formulários®) foi enviado por e-mail pelo Conselho Regional de Odontologia. As medidas de enfrentamento da Covid-19 foram comparadas entre os tipos de serviços odontológicos: ambulatorial do Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS (Atenção Primária, Centro de Especialidades Odontológicos e Pronto Atendimento), clínica privada, e outros (Sistema S, forças de segurança, sindicatos, hospitais públicos e privados e clínicas de ensino). Os profissionais dos serviços ambulatoriais do SUS relataram com maior frequência que: suspenderam atendimentos eletivos, evitavam gerar aerossóis e trabalhavam a quatro mãos. Nas clínicas privadas, utilizavam frequentemente teleorientação e telemonitoramento. Nos 'outros serviços', houve maior proporção de redução das horas de trabalho e autoclavagem de peças de mão após cada atendimento. Conclui-se que, apesar da alta adequação às medidas de enfrentamento da Covid-19, houve diferença na prática profissional nos diferentes tipos de serviços odontológicos.
ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study aimed to identify adjustments regarding the use of Personal Protective Equipment and the organization of the work process in outpatient dental care in Paraná during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The convenience sample included 1,105 oral health professionals (dental surgeons, oral health assistants, and dental hygienists) during the first year of the pandemic (August to October, 2020). An online form (Google Forms®) was sent by email by the Regional Council of Dentistry. COVID-19's measures were compared between the types of dental services: 'outpatient clinic of the Unified Health System - SUS' (Primary Care, Dental Specialty Center, and Emergency Care), 'private clinic' and 'other services' (Sistema S, security forces, trade union, public and private hospitals, and teaching clinics). Professionals from SUS outpatient services reported more frequently: that they suspended elective care, avoided generating aerosols, and worked four-handed. Professionals from 'private clinics' used teleorientation and telemonitoring more regularly. In the 'other services', there was a more significant proportion reduction in work hours and handpieces autoclaving after each service. It is concluded that, despite the high adequacy of the measures to combat COVID-19, there was a difference in professional practice among the different types of dental services.
RESUMO
Aim: This study analyzes factors associated with dimensions of health literacy (HL) functional, communicative and critical among public health service users with chronic non-communicable diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical research was carried out in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, with adults and older adults attending Family Health Units (FHU). Data were collected by oral exam (CPOD and CPI) and a questionnaire on systemic conditions, sociodemographic factors, health behaviors and HLS (HLS-14). The outcomes consisted of functional, communicative, and critical HL dimensions dichotomized by median (high and low), which were analyzed by chi-square test (p<0.05) to find associations with the variables studied. Results: The study sample comprised 238 FHU users with 62.7 (± 10.55) mean age, of which 47.5% (n=113) showed high functional HL, 50.0% (n=119) high communicative HL, and 46.2% (n=110) high critical HL. High functional HL was associated with men (p<0.05). Functional and communicative HL were associated with having higher education (p<0.001 and p=0.018, respectively). High communicative and critical HL were associated with regular use of dental and medical services (p<0.05). Individuals with low functional HL were more likely to present poor tooth brushing (p=0.020). High HL (in all three dimensions) was associated with regular flossing and having more teeth (p<0.05). Conclusion: Functional, communicative and critical HL were associated with health behaviors and clinical outcomes, whereas the functional dimension was also associated with sociodemographic factors. HL dimensions allowed to differentiate health-related factors

The objective of this study was to evaluate the criterion validity of the 14-item Health Literacy Scale (HLS-14) in Brazilian adults and older adults. The cross-sectional study performed in an oral health (OH) prospective cohort was conducted in 2017 in Piracicaba, Brazil. The HLS-14 questionnaire was applied to evaluate Health Literacy (HL) by dimensions: Functional literacy (FunL), Communicative literacy (ComL) and Critical literacy (CriL). An evaluation protocol (EP) was proposed to evaluate the criterion validity of HLS-14 considering HL dimensions (FunL: reading of the drug information leaflets; ComL: reading of the medical prescription and CriL: identification of OH conditions). HL (total) was dichotomized by the median in high (≥35 point) or low (<35 point) HL. Kendall's rank correlation coefficient (p < 0.05) and chi-squared test (p < 0.05) were applied. There was agreement between EP and HLS-14 for FunL (p < 0.01). There was association between high HL, measured through the HLS-14 questionnaire, assessing the reading of the drug information leaflets (p < 0.01) and the need for help to read them (p < 0.01). EP showed association between high HL and being able to read the drug information leaflet (p < 0.01), not needing help to read (p < 0.01), having found in the prescription all the information to take the medicine (p < 0.01) and knowing two or more health and OH information in the educational material (p < 0.01). The HSL-14 questionnaire showed criterion validity to measure FunL, and for some items of ComL and CriL evaluation. HL evaluation in a practical and multidimensional way could have an effect on the communication between health professional and patient, motivation and health outcomes.

Com o surgimento da pandemia causada pelo SARS-Cov-2, houve a necessidade de reestruturação dos serviços de saúde no Brasil, incluindo a clínica odontológica. O objetivo do presente estudo é descrever as medidas de biossegurança realizadas ou modificadas na prática de saúde bucal no estado do Paraná, em nível público e privado, envolvendo três categorias profissionais: cirurgiões-dentistas (CD), técnicos em saúde bucal (TSB) e auxiliares de saúde bucal (ASB). Esta pesquisa transversal descritiva foi realizada nos meses de agosto a outubro de 2020, com o envio de questionários on-linepor e-maile divulgação em redes sociais. Foram envolvidos 1072 profissionais, sendo 75,6% CD, 16,3% ASB e 8,1% TSB. O gênero feminino foi predominante entre os participantes (81,1%), com 46,1% apresentando idade entre 40 e 59 anos. Gorro, máscara cirúrgica, óculos de proteção e protetor facial são referidos como sempre utilizados, respectivamente, por 92,3%, 81,0%, 80,0% e 79,1% dos participantes. A máscara N95/PFF2 (67,5%) e o avental impermeável (20,3%) tiverem os maiores percentuais de "nunca disponíveis ou utilizados". Cerca de 50% afirmaram que tiveram acesso à Nota Técnica GVIMS/GGTES/ANVISA Nº 04/2020. Os profissionais avaliados, em geral, realizaram mudanças em suas práticas de biossegurança, mas precisam ser acompanhados durante toda a extensão da pandemia.
With the emergence of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, there was a need to restructure health services in Brazil, including the dental clinic. The aim of the present study was to describe the biosafety measures performed or modified in oral health practice at public and private levels, involving the three professional categories: dental surgeons (DDS), oral health technicians(OHT), and health assistants (HA) in the state of Paraná. This escriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out from August to October 2020, with an online questionnaire being sent by email and published on social networks. There were 1072 professionalsinvolved, of which 75.6% were DDS, 16.3% were OHT, and 8.1% were HA. The female gender was predominant among the participants (81.1%), and 46.1% were aged between 40 and 59 years. 92.3%, 81.0%, 80.0%, and 79.1% of the articipants, respectively, said theyalways used a cap, surgical mask, protective glasses, and face shield. The N95/PFF2 mask (67.5%) and the waterproof apron (20.3%) are two of the most frequently mentioned items as never being available or used. About 51% said they had access to Technical Note GVIMS/GGTES/ANVISA No. 04/2020. In general, the professionals evaluated have been making changes in their biosafety practices, but they still need to be monitored throughout the pandemic.

Introduction: The objective was to review the effectiveness of iodoform-based compared to noniodoform-based filling materials in the root canal treatment of deciduous teeth. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis used randomized clinical trials with six months or more follow-up. The risk of bias of individual studies and the certainty of the evidence were evaluated (Cochrane risk of bias tool and GRADE, respectively). Results: The initial search resulted in 5,127 studies after removal of duplicates. After screening by title and abstract, 34 full-text studies were eligible and 21 remained in the qualitative synthesis and 19 in the meta-analysis. Iodoform-based filling materials resulted in fewer clinical failures when compared to noniodoform-based filling materials at the 6 months (OR = 0.43, 95%CI: 0.19-0.97, p = .04) and 9-12 months (OR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.23-0.93, p = .03), but not at the 18-30 months follow-up (OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 0.58-2.03, p = .81). When considering radiographic failures, there was no statistical difference between iodoform-based and noniodoform-based filling materials at the 6 months (OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.39-1.32, p = .29) and 18-30 months follow-ups (OR = 1.06, 95%CI: 0.51-2.21, p = .87), but fewer radiographic failures were detected at the 9-12 months follow-up (OR = 0.49, 95%CI: 0.29-0.80, p = .005). Conclusion: Iodoform-based filling materials showed better clinical and radiographic performance when compared to non-iodoform-based filling materials in the short term, and similar performance in the long term. However, most of the studies exhibited unclear or high risk of bias and the overall certainty of the evidence ranged from low to very low. Therefore, new randomized clinical trials must be accomplished to corroborate this conclusion.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Tetralogy of Fallot is the most prevalent cyanotic congenital heart disease and it has a high mortality rate. The aim of this article was to provide a clinical case, describing the dental treatment of an infant patient with tetralogy of Fallot done at a hospital. The patient was a 7-year-old male, lived in a rural area with no previous diagnosis of this cardiopathy when he was attended to by a multidisciplinary team at University Hospital Ana Bezerra, at Santa Cruz, Northern Rio Grande, Brazil. After his medical appointment, the patient received a visit from the dental resident in Mother-Infant Health in his hospital room. During the dental exam, multiple carious lesions were found and there was an urgent need to reduce the risk of dental infection before the patient underwent heart surgery. The treatment started with a preventive approach, including oral hygiene instruction and behavior management. The treatment was completed using the atraumatic restorative technique, and a root tip was extracted. Antibiotic prophylaxis was administered before the extraction to minimize the risk of infectious endocarditis. After the dental treatment, the multidisciplinary team referred the patient for surgery to address the tetralogy of Fallot. The integration between the multidisciplinary residency and the medical team was important to reduce the risks of infectious endocarditis during the dental treatment, aiming to provide integral care to this patient.
RESUMO A tetralogia de Fallot é a cardiopatia cianótica congênita mais prevalente, e apresenta alta mortalidade. O objetivo do presente artigo foi descrever um caso clínico de atendimento odontológico de paciente infantil com tetralogia de Fallot em ambiente hospitalar. O paciente de 7 anos de idade, sexo masculino, morador da zona rural, não possuía o diagnóstico da cardiopatia quando buscou o serviço e foi atendido pela equipe multidisciplinar do Hospital Universitário Ana Bezerra, em Santa Cruz, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. O paciente, após atendimento médico, recebeu no leito da enfermaria do hospital a visita do cirurgião-dentista residente na Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde Materno-Infantil. Após avaliação bucal, verificou-se múltiplas lesões de cárie, e necessidade de tratamento odontológico urgente para redução de risco do foco infeccioso, previamente ao procedimento cirúrgico da cardiopatia. O tratamento iniciou pela abordagem preventiva, com orientações de higiene oral e condicionamento psicológico, e em seguida foi feito tratamento restaurador, pela técnica restauradora atraumática e extração de um fragmento radicular. A profilaxia antibiótica foi realizada antes da extração, para minimizar o risco de endocardite bacteriana. Após o atendimento odontológico, o paciente foi encaminhado pela equipe multidisciplinar para a abordagem cirúrgica da tetralogia de Fallot. A integração da residência multiprofissional com a equipe médica foi importante para a redução de riscos de endocardite bacteriana durante os procedimentos odontológicos, visando uma atenção integral ao paciente.
RESUMO
Objetivo: avaliar associações entre fatores sociodemográficos, sociais e bucais e reprovação escolar entre adolescentes. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e analítico realizado com 251 adolescentes, entre 14 e 18 anos, provenientes de cinco escolas estaduais do município de Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brasil. A variável desfecho avaliada foi a reprovação escolar e as variáveis independentes incluíram fatores sociodemográficos e bucais. Para se avaliar a associação entre as variáveis, realizou-se regressão logística simples e múltipla, permanecendo no modelo final as variáveis com p≤0,05, após o ajuste para as demais variáveis. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes era do sexo feminino (61,8%), com idade até 16 anos (58,6%), tinham mais que um irmão (60,2%) e o grau de instrução dos chefes das famílias era acima de oito anos (71,3%). A reprovação escolar foi relatada por 12,7% dos adolescentes. No modelo ajustado final, verificou-se que a reprovação escolar permaneceu associada aos adolescentes que apresentavam mais de um irmão (OR = 3,79: IC 95%: 1,34-10,73), que foram ao dentista na última vez por motivo de dor (OR = 3,00: IC 95%: 1,26-7,15) e com autoavaliação negativa da saúde bucal (OR = 5,50: IC9 5%: 2,10-14,36). Conclusão: Fatores sociodemográficos e bucais estiveram associados com a reprovação escolar em adolescentes. Nesse contexto, recomenda-se a continuidade das ações e políticas públicas intersetoriais entre os setores de educação e saúde para a melhoria da saúde bucal dos escolares, a qual apresenta associações com o rendimento acadêmico.
Aim: to evaluate the association between sociodemographic, social and oral factors, and school failure among adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and analytical study carried out with 251 adolescents, between 14 and 18 years of age, from five state schools in the city of Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. This work evaluated the outcome variable of school failure, and the independent variables included sociodemographic, social, and oral factors. To assess the association between the variables, simple and multiple logistic regressions were performed, with the variables presenting p≤0.05 remaining in the final model after adjustments for the other variables. Results: Most participants were female (61.8%), up to 16 years of age (58.6%), who had more than one sibling (60.2%), and whose level of education of the heads of the household was over eight years (71.3%). School failure was reported by 12.7% of the adolescents. In the final adjusted model, school failure remained associated with adolescents who had more than one sibling (OR = 3.79: 95% CI: 1.34-10.73), who went to the dentist the last time due to pain (OR = 3.00: 95% CI: 1.26-7.15) and a negative oral health self-assessment (OR = 5.50: 95% CI: 2.10-14.36). Conclusion: Sociodemographic and oral factors were associated with school failure in adolescents. In this context, it is recommended to continue intersectoral actions and public policies between education and health to improve the oral health of schoolchildren and, consequently, their academic performance.

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to analyze the role of health literacy (HL) as a factor associated with tooth loss among users of the Brazilian Health System with chronic non-communicable diseases. METHODS: The cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with adult and elderly users chosen at ten Family Health Clinics in a draw in the town of Piracicaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. A questionnaire was applied with sociodemographic data (sex, age, skin color and education), behavioral data (brushing and flossing), determinants in health (type of dental health services and how often) and clinical data (pain). Mouth conditions were collected by intraoral examination of visible dental biofilm and community Pediodontal Index. The systemic clinical conditions (blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and blood pressure) were extracted from the medical records. The explanatory variable was HL (low, medium and high), measured with the Health Literacy Scale (HLS-14). RESULTS: The outcome was tooth loss measured by the index of decayed, missing and filled teeth. Logistic regression was performed using a conceptual model for HL (p < 0.05). For the 238 subjects, the mean age was 62.7 years (± 10.55). Tooth loss was associated with HL in regression models adjusted by type of dental service, dental frequency, and dental floss. In the final model, the factors associated with tooth loss are older age (OR = 1,12; 95%CI: 1,07-1,17), a lower education (OR = 3,43; 95%CI: 1,17-10,10), irregular use of dental floss (OR = 4,58; 95%CI: 1.75 in-7,31), irregular use of dental services (n = 2,60; 95% 1,32-5,12), periodontal pocket (> 4 mm) (n = 0,31; 95%CI: 0,01-0,08), having visible dental biofilm (OR = 7,23; 95%CI: 3,19-16,41) and a higher level of blood sugar (glucose) (n = 1,98; 95%CI: 1.00-3,92). CONCLUSIONS: tooth loss was associated with HL when adjusted by health behaviors; when sociodemographic variables and clinical conditions were included, it was less significant. In the final model, behaviors, determinants in health and clinical conditions were risk indicators of tooth loss, showing the multifactorial nature of this phenomenon.

RESUMO
Abstract Objective: to analyze the factors associated with positive self-perceived evaluation of prenatal care among users of Primary Health Care (PHC). Methods: the analytical cross-sectional study was carried out with secondary data from the 3rd Module of the 2nd cycle (2013 / 2014) of the External Evaluation of the Improvement of Access and Quality of Primary Care Program (PMAQ-AB - Portuguese acronym), collected from users in the Basic Health Units (BHU) that joined the PMAQ-AB in Brazil. The hierarchical analysis was performed using a theoretical model and logistic regression was performed between the self-perceived evaluation (positive - very good/good or negative - regular/poor/very bad) and the sociodemographic characteristics, prenatal care and health service evaluation (p<0.05). Results: the sample consisted of 9,922 women and 81.7% rated care as very good/good. In the final model, positive evaluation was associated to women with incomplete higher education or over (OR=1.05; CI95%=1.01-1.09; p=0.010), who underwent the VDRL exam (OR=1.07; CI95%=1.01-1.14; p=0.020), consultation with the same professional (OR=1.07; CI95%=1.02-1.12; p=0.010), received guidance on the gynecological preventive exam (OR=1.05; CI95%=1.01-1.08; p=0.007), believed that guidance helped with pregnancy and child care (OR=1.24; CI95%=1.05-1.46; p=0.012), evaluated the BHU structure as very good/good (OR=1.19; CI95%=:1.14-1.24; p<0.001) and would not change BHU or team (OR=1.62; CI95%=1.48-1.68; p<0.001). Conclusion: the positive evaluation of prenatal care was associated with sociodemographic factors, prenatal care and health service evaluation.
Resumo Objetivos: analisar os fatores associados a avaliação positiva auto percebida do cuidado pré-natal entre usuárias da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Métodos: o estudo transversal analítico foi realizado com dados secundários do Módulo III do 2º ciclo (2013/2014) da Avaliação Externa do Programa Melhoria de Acesso e Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB), coletado com usuários nas próprias Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) que aderiram ao PMAQ-AB no Brasil. A análise hierárquica foi realizada com modelo teórico adaptado e regressão logística entre a avaliação autopercebida (positiva - muito bom/bom ou negativa - regular/ruim/muito ruim) e os fatores sociodemográficos, assistência pré-natal e avaliação do serviço de saúde (p<0,05). Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 9.922 mulheres, sendo que 81,7% avaliaram o cuidado pré-natal como muito bom/bom. No modelo final, a avaliação positiva foi associada a mulheres com ensino superior incompleto ou mais (OR=1,05;IC95%=1,01-1,09; p=0,010), que realizou o exame de VDRL (OR=1,07; IC95%=,01-1,14;p=0,020), consulta com o mesmo profissional (OR=1,07; IC95%=1,02-1,12; p=0,010), recebeu orientação sobre o exame preventivo (OR=1,05; IC95%=1,01-1,08; p=0,007), acreditava que a orientação ajudou na gravidez e cuidados com a criança (OR=1,24;IC95%=1,05-1,46;p=0,012), avaliou a estrutura da UBS como muito boa/boa (OR=1,19;IC95%=1,14-1,24; p<0,001) e não trocaria de UBS ou equipe (OR=1,62; IC95%=1,48-1,68;p<0,001). Conclusão: a avaliação positiva do cuidado pré-natal foi associada aos fatores sociodemográficos, assistência pré-natal e avaliação do serviço de saúde.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a percepção sobre o mercado de trabalho entre ingressantes e formandos do curso de Enfermagem de uma universidade pública. O estudo qualitativo foi realizado com ingressantes (2019) e formandos (2018) do curso de Enfermagem da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa. A amostra foi definida pelo método de saturação, a coleta de dados gravada com roteiro-guia. O material transcrito recebeu análise temática de conteúdo. Sobre o mercado de trabalho foram identificadas as categorias: mercado de trabalho amplo, mercado de trabalho saturado, mercado de trabalho exigente e mercado de trabalho desvalorizado. O mercado amplo deriva da percepção de diversidade no campo de atuação, porém houve sentimento de saturação, e por isto, exige experiência e maior formação profissional, tornando-o desvalorizado, principalmente no retorno financeiro. Houve uma percepção aproximada entre ingressantes e formandos sobre o mercado de trabalho em Enfermagem. Sendo assim, ao escolher o curso, o estudante tem ciência das dificuldades enfrentadas no mercado de trabalho relacionado à profissão. (AU)
The aim of the study was to analyze the perception of the labor market among incoming academics and graduatesof the Nursing course at a public university. The qualitative study was conducted with freshmen (2019) and graduates (2018) of the Nursing course at the State University of Ponta Grossa. The sample was defined by the saturation method, the data collection recorded with a guide script. The transcribed material received thematic content analysis. On the labor market, the following categories were identified: broad labor market, saturated labor market, demanding labor market and undervalued labor market. The broad market derives from the perception of diversity in the field, but there was a feeling of saturation, which is why it requires experience and greater professional training, making it devalued, especially in terms of financial return. There was an approximate perception between new students and graduates about the job market in Nursing. Thus, when choosing the course, the student is aware of the difficulties faced in the job market related to the profession. (AU)
