ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: While oral health often takes a backseat to other health domains, it silently affects nearly half of the Worldwide population. The DELIVER project, funded by the EU's Horizon Europe program, seeks to develop a blueprint model for improving the quality of oral health care for everyone. METHODS: Applying the Nominal Group Technique (NGT), 17 stakeholders from various backgrounds participated in identifying pressing issues for oral care quality improvement across practice, community, and policy levels. RESULTS: The results revealed significant differences at the different levels, with accessibility emerging as a prominent issue, encompassing affordability, availability, and acceptability of oral healthcare services. CONCLUSIONS: These findings emphasizes the need for policy reforms, increased investments, and a shift towards preventive and patient-centered dental care practices. It highlights the importance of collaborative efforts with multi-stakeholders and prioritizing pressing issues on a multi-level to drive positive change in improving oral care quality.

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: To compare the oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) outcomes between patients treated with modified Ni-Ti spring-based alignment appliances or conventional fixed appliances using the Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14), as well as the levels of satisfaction with the appliance appearance, treatment progress, and outcomes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients (11 males, 25 females) were randomly divided into two groups: either the modified aligner appliance with Ni-Ti springs group (MAA) or the traditional fixed appliances group (FA). The allocation ratio was 1:1, and the randomization process was carried out by an independent investigator not involved in this study. Mild crowding cases were included in this study. The OHRQoL of patients was evaluated using the short-form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) at five time points: before the treatment commencement (T0); 2 weeks (T1), 1 month (T2), and 2 months (T3) after the treatment initiation; and post-treatment (T4). The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the patient satisfaction. Blinding was performed only during the outcomes assessment. Results: This randomized controlled trial had no dropouts, and the demographic characteristics of the groups were comparable. The MAA group experienced significantly greater functional limitations compared with the FA group at all three evaluation time points (T1, T2, and T3), as evidenced by the statistically significant p-values (p = 0.004, p = 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). The psychological disability in the MAA group was significantly lower than in the FA group at both T2 (p = 0.005) and T3 (p = 0.003). The patient satisfaction with the appliance appearance was significantly higher in the MAA group than in the FA group (p = 0.002). Conclusions: The OHRQoL improved in both the modified aligner appliance with Ni-Ti springs and fixed appliance groups after the treatment. Moreover, the functional limitations during the treatment were less severe in the FA group, while the psychological disability was lower, and the patient satisfaction with the appliance appearance was higher in the MAA group.

ABSTRACT

AIM: This systematic review aims to assess effectiveness of oral health policies, recommendations and guidelines in safeguarding oral health of children with special healthcare needs during COVID-19. BACKGROUND: This systematic review evaluated the adaptation of global oral health policies for children with special healthcare needs (SHCN) during the COVID-19 pandemic, to provide evidence-based insights to inform policymakers and healthcare providers amid the ongoing global health crisis. The study focused on assessing the effectiveness of these adaptations in ensuring equitable access to quality dental care for this vulnerable group. METHODS: A PRISMA guided online search through LILIACS, PubMed, Scopus, COCHRANE and grey literature was conducted. The search strategy incorporated a combination of subject headings (MeSH terms) and free-text terms related to "oral health," "dental health," "policy," "effectiveness," "dental practice guidelines," "oral health policies," and "special care needs children." Eligibility criteria included oral health policies, recommendations and guidelines targeting individuals/children with special care needs. Both qualitative and quantitative studies published in English from 2008 to 2023 were included. RESULTS: Sixteen guidelines, recommendations and policies, from six authorities were identified. These documentations addressed six different areas mentioned broadly as comprehensive care, ethical considerations, preventive and therapeutic measures, equity, patient-centric treatment, and reducing disparities signaling a paradigm shift. International collaborations and standardization of guidelines indicated a unified approach. The review also emphasized on a commitment to continuous improvement through quality measurement, systematic referral management, and needs assessment. With the exception of two documents, the remaining guidelines did not address COVID-19 or provide specific adaptations for it. The lack of emphasis on individual condition was notable, as the guidelines generally took a more generalized approach toward individuals with special healthcare needs. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this review assessed the impact of COVID-19 on oral healthcare for individuals with special needs. It underscores global and local efforts for equitable access, patient-centric care, and preventive measures. The lessons learned advocate for a resilient, inclusive healthcare framework capable of meeting diverse needs. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD 42023452475.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders of varying severity characterized by bone fragility. The primary objective of this international multidisciplinary collaboration initiative was to reach a consensus for a standardized set of clinician and patient-reported outcome measures, as well as associated measuring instruments for dental care of individuals with OI, based on the aspects considered important by both experts and patients. This project is a subsequent to the Key4OI project initiated by the Care4BrittleBones foundation which aims to develop a standard set of outcome measures covering a large domain of factors affecting quality of life for people with OI. An international team of experts comprising orthodontists, pediatric dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and prosthetic dentists used a modified Delphi consensus process to select clinician-reported outcome measures (CROMs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to evaluate oral health in individuals with OI. Important domains were identified through a literature review and by professional expertise (both CROMs and PROMs). In three focus groups of individuals with OI, important and relevant issues regarding dental health were identified. The input from the focus groups was used as the basis for the final set of outcome measures: the selected issues were attributed to relevant CROMs and, when appropriate, matched with validated questionnaires to establish the final PROMs which represented best the specific oral health-related concerns of individuals with OI. RESULTS: Consensus was reached on selected CROMs and PROMs for a standard set of outcome measures and measuring instruments of oral health in individuals with OI. CONCLUSIONS: Our project resulted in consensus statements for standardization oral health PROMs and CROMs in individuals with OI. This outcome set can improve the standard of care by incorporating recommendations of professionals involved in dental care of individuals with OI. Further, it can facilitate research and international research co-operation. In addition, the significant contribution of the focus groups highlights the relevance of dental and oral health-related problems of individuals with OI.

ABSTRACT

Adequate and transparent reporting is necessary for critically appraising research. Yet, evidence suggests that the design, conduct, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of oral health research could be greatly improved. Accordingly, the Task Force on Design and Analysis in Oral Health Research-statisticians and trialists from academia and industry-empaneled a group of authors to develop methodological and statistical reporting guidelines identifying the minimum information needed to document and evaluate observational studies and clinical trials in oral health: the OHstat Guidelines. Drafts were circulated to the editors of 85 oral health journals and to Task Force members and sponsors and discussed at a December 2020 workshop attended by 49 researchers. The final version was subsequently approved by the Task Force in September 2021, submitted for journal review in 2022, and revised in 2023. The checklist consists of 48 guidelines: 5 for introductory information, 17 for methods, 13 for statistical analysis, 6 for results, and 7 for interpretation; 7 are specific to clinical trials. Each of these guidelines identifies relevant information, explains its importance, and often describes best practices. The checklist was published in multiple journals. The article was published simultaneously in JDR Clinical and Translational Research, the Journal of the American Dental Association, and the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Completed checklists should accompany manuscripts submitted for publication to these and other oral health journals to help authors, journal editors, and reviewers verify that the manuscript provides the information necessary to adequately document and evaluate the research.

ABSTRACT

Background: Children can learn efficiently with well-designed serious games. The use of applications to promote health has proliferated, but there is a lack of scientific studies on educational games in oral health. Materials and Methods: We developed the Brazilian version of a British and Jordanian oral health education game for children from the perspectives of Brazilian specialists and users. This descriptive study, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, comprised three phases: I-Experts' discussion of the appropriateness of the previous version of the game to Brazil; II-Development of the first Brazilian version of the game; and III-Evaluation of the first version with 15 children from 4 to 8 years of age. Results: In Phase I, the specialists agreed with the development of the Brazilian version of the game, with minor adjustments on: advice on eating; advice on oral hygiene habits, users' age group, game characters, and game purpose. Phase II: a version with a few changes in images and recommendations, written and spoken in Brazilian Portuguese. Phase III: The global average of correct answers in the game's tasks was 75.3%, ranging from 50.0% to 100%. Children reported having fun with the game, and most understood the content and its interface; their parents found the information relevant and enjoyed the gameplay with their children. Conclusions: The Oral Health Education Game offered basic information for preventing dental caries to Brazilian children aged 4-8 years old in an interactive and fun way; it could support professionals in improving oral health education.

ABSTRACT

Adequate and transparent reporting is necessary for critically appraising published research. Yet, ample evidence suggests that the design, conduct, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of oral health research could be greatly improved. Accordingly, the Task Force on Design and Analysis in Oral Health Research-statisticians and trialists from academia and industry-identified the minimum information needed to report and evaluate observational studies and clinical trials in oral health: the OHStat Guidelines. Drafts were circulated to the editors of 85 oral health journals and to Task Force members and sponsors and discussed at a December 2020 workshop attended by 49 researchers. The guidelines were subsequently revised by the Task Force's writing group. The guidelines draw heavily from the Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials (CONSORT), Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE), and CONSORT harms guidelines and incorporate the SAMPL guidelines for reporting statistics, the CLIP principles for documenting images, and the GRADE indicating the quality of evidence. The guidelines also recommend reporting estimates in clinically meaningful units using confidence intervals, rather than relying on P values. In addition, OHStat introduces 7 new guidelines that concern the text itself, such as checking the congruence between abstract and text, structuring the discussion, and listing conclusions to make them more specific. OHStat does not replace other reporting guidelines; it incorporates those most relevant to dental research into a single document. Manuscripts using the OHStat guidelines will provide more information specific to oral health research.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: El 8 de enero de 2020, el Centro Chino para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades anunció oficialmente la identificación de una nueva cepa de coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) como el patógeno causante de la pandemia mundial de COVID-19. Las principales manifestaciones clínicas producidas por SARS-CoV-2 se encuentran ampliamente descritas en la literatura, sin embargo, la información acerca de las alteraciones que podrían producirse a nivel oral, es escasa. Se ha sugerido que la cavidad oral es un perfecto hábitat para la invasión por SARS-CoV-2 debido a la especial afinidad que tiene el virus por células con los receptores para la enzima convertidora de angiotensina (ECA2) como son las del tracto respiratorio, mucosa oral, lengua y glándulas salivales, pudiendo afectar, de este modo, el funcionamiento de las glándulas salivales, las sensaciones del gusto, olfato y la integridad de la mucosa oral. El nuevo coronavirus tendría la capacidad de alterar el equilibrio de la microbiota oral, lo que sumado a un sistema inmune deprimido permitiría la colonización por infecciones oportunista. Se ha establecido que un correcto higiene oral podría disminuir la incidencia y gravedad de las principales complicaciones del COVID-19. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar una revisión y análisis de la evidencia disponible en relación a las manifestaciones orales a nivel de las mucosas, trastornos de las glándulas salivales y alteraciones en el sistema olfatorio y gustativo en el contexto de la infección por SARS-CoV-2.


ABSTRACT: On January 8, 2020, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention officially reported the identification of a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) as the pathogen causing the global COVID-19 pandemic. The main clinical manifestations produced by SARS-CoV-2 are well described in the literature. However, the information about oral manifestations is limited. It has been suggested that the oral cavity is a perfect habitat for SARS-CoV-2 invasion due to the special affinity that the virus has for cells with the receptors for the converted angiotensin enzyme (ACE2), present in the respiratory tract, oral mucosal, tongue and salivary glands, thus being able to affect the functioning of the salivary glands, sensations of taste, smell and integrity of the oral mucosa. The new coronavirus could have the ability to alter the balance of the oral microbiota, which added to a depressed immune system would allow opportunistic infections colonization. It has been established that correct oral hygiene could decrease the incidence and severity of the main complications of COVID-19. The objective of this study is to review and analyze the available evidence in relation to oral manifestations at the mucosa, salivary glands disorders and olfactory and gustatory alterations in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The expansion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) throughout the world has alarmed all health professionals. Especially in dentistry, there is a growing concern due to it's high virulence and routes of transmission through saliva aerosols. The virus keeps viable on air for at least 3 hours and on plastic and stainless-steel surfaces up to 72 hours. In this sense, dental offices, both in the public and private sectors, are high-risk settings of cross infection among patients, dentists and health professionals in the clinical environment (including hospital's intensive dental care facilities). This manuscript aims to compile current available evidence on prevention strategies for dental professionals. Besides, we briefly describe promising treatment strategies recognized until this moment. The purpose is to clarify dental practitioners about the virus history and microbiology, besides guiding on how to proceed during emergency consultations based on international documents. Dentists should consider that a substantial number of individuals (including children) who do not show any signs and symptoms of COVID-19 may be infected and can disseminate the virus. Currently, there is no effective treatment and fast diagnosis is still a challenge. All elective dental treatments and non-essential procedures should be postponed, keeping only urgent and emergency visits to the dental office. The use of teledentistry (phone calls, text messages) is a very promising tool to keep contact with the patient without being at risk of infection.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La hemofilia es una enfermedad genética poco frecuente en la consulta odontológica. En algunas situaciones se presenta como una urgencia odonto-estomatológica, en la que el profesional debe relacionar las manifestaciones clínicas generales de la enfermedad, con una correcta semiología, paraclínicos y análisis genético-molecular, para diagnosticar y aplicar pertinentes terapéuticas dirigidas a resolver el motivo de consulta del paciente así como el manejo y control de sus complicaciones. Objetivo: Describir los principales aspectos fisiopatológicos generales y de importancia odontológica de la hemofilia, así como las herramientas diagnósticas desde el punto de vista clínico, paraclínico y genético-molecular. Métodos: Búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos Pubmed, Proquest, Scielo y Elsevier, en idioma inglés y español, en las que se seleccionaron artículos publicados en un periodo de 13 años para un total de 50 (2005-2018), empleando los descriptores "hemophilia A, hemophilia B, diagnostic criteria, genetic, molecular, oral health, clinical diagnosis". Análisis e integración de la información: Los estudios han demostrado que la hemofilia, una condición genética y sistémica, tiene repercusiones bucales en el contexto de sus manifestaciones y complicaciones, lo que la hace importante para el odontólogo, debido a que debe ser diagnosticada desde el punto de vista genético-molecular y manejada interdisciplinariamente. Conclusiones: La implicación del diagnóstico genético-molecular por parte del genetista soporta la integración del hematólogo y el odontólogo para el manejo y control de la interconsulta cuando se trata de pautar procedimientos en pacientes con hemofilia(AU)


ABSTRACT Introduction: Hemophilia is a genetic disease scarcely found in dental practice. On occasion it presents as a dental emergency in face of which the professional should relate the general clinical manifestations of the disease to an appropriate semiological, paraclinical and genetic-molecular analysis to diagnose the condition and apply relevant therapies aimed at solving the patient's main concern as well as managing and controlling its complications. Objective: Describe the main general pathophysiological features and aspects of dental interest of hemophilia, as well as the diagnostic tools related to the condition from a clinical, paraclinical and genetic-molecular perspective. Methods: A bibliographic search was conducted in the databases Pubmed, Proquest, Scielo and Elsevier of papers published in English and Spanish in a period of 13 years (2005-2018), using the search terms "hemophilia A", "hemophilia B", "diagnostic criteria", "genetic", "molecular", "oral health", "clinical diagnosis". A total 50 papers were selected. Data analysis and integration: Studies have shown that hemophilia, a genetic systemic condition, may have oral manifestations and complications. This makes it important to dentists, since the disease should be diagnosed from a genetic-molecular point of view and managed in an interdisciplinary manner. Conclusions: Genetic-molecular diagnosis by geneticists implies involvement of hematologists and dentists in the management and control of the condition via interconsultation, when it comes to deciding on procedures for hemophilic patients(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Childhood is a period of life when the human being is constantly going through progressive steps of psychosocial, physical, and mental development. The quality of hygiene habits of family members will be reflected on the characteristics and attitudes of children, which significantly increases the responsibility of the family in oral hygiene education. The present study aimed to observe the influence of maternal satisfaction with the dentist in children's oral care. This is a cross-sectional design, which sample included 100 mothers from a city in Southern Brazil. From a questionnaire prepared for this purpose and adapted from previous research, the mothers were interviewed from January to July 2015. The results presented showed that most mothers work outside the home (46.4 %) but monitor their children during toothbrushing (50.7 %). For most mothers, the dentist represents satisfaction (37.1 %) and the main reason for seeking the dentist is oral health (44.3 %). It was found that mothers who encourage their children to use dental floss and monitor them during toothbrushing are the mothers who feel satisfied with the dentist (P < 0.05). In addition, mothers know that caries is a disease and its occurrence is related to diet habits, however, they add chocolate milk and sugar to their children's bottle. Thus, it was concluded that satisfaction with the dentist influences mothers on oral hygiene habits adopted by their children regarding the use of dental floss and toothbrushing monitoring.


RESUMEN: La infancia es un período de la vida en que el ser humano está en constante y progresivo desarrollo psicológico, físico y mental. La calidad de la higiene oral de otros miembros de la familia se va a reflejar directamente en las características y actitudes de los niños, aumentando significativamente la responsabilidad de la familia en la educación sobre higiene oral. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo observar la influencia que tiene la satisfacción de la madre con el cirujano dentista respecto a las acciones de la salud oral de los niños. Se trató de un estudio de tipo transversal, cuya muestra no probabilística contó con 100 madres de una ciudad del Sur de Brasil. A partir de un cuestionario elaborado para este fin y adaptado de investigaciones anteriores, las madres fueron entrevistadas en el período de enero a julio de 2015. Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de las madres trabajaban fuera de la casa (46,4 %), pero acompañaban a su hijo durante el cepillado (50,7 %). La mayoría de ellas estaba conforme con la atención del cirujano dentista (37,1 %) y el mayor motivo de su búsqueda fue la salud oral (44,3 %). Se verificó que las madres que incentivaban el uso del hilo dental por parte de los hijos y que realizaban el acompañamiento durante el cepillado eran las madres que se sentían conformes con la atención del cirujano dentista (p<0,05). Además de esto, las madres saben que la caries es una enfermedad y que su surgimiento tiene relación con la alimentación, pero igualmente le incorporaban cacao en polvo y azúcar a la mamadera de sus hijos. De esta manera, fue posible concluir que, la satisfacción con la atención del cirujano dentista influye a las madres en los hábitos de higiene oral adoptados por sus hijos, en lo relativo al uso del hilo dental y el cepillado dental.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: Las enfermedades gastrointestinales inflamatorias se caracterizan por la desarmonía de la flora bacteriana del intestino. Estos cambios se caracterizan como un problema de salud pública que demuestra que las principales causas de las enfermedades están asociadas a la alimentación inadecuada y, como consecuencia de cambios en la mucosa oral. Los países desarrollados están actualmente definiendo estrategias para el control de esas enfermedades, teniendo como una de las estrategias públicas para la promoción de la alimentación sana. En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la legislación brasileña vigente en cuanto al cuadro de profesional nutricionista para elaborar y acompañar el menú de la alimentación escolar, conforme prevé la Ley Federal nº 8.234, de 17 de septiembre de 1991, y la Resolución del Consejo Federal de Nutricionistas - CFN n ° 380/2005. Se realizó el levantamiento de las Leyes que establecen un cuadro de profesionales nutricionistas en las escuelas públicas de las principales ciudades brasileñas en los órganos competentes. Los resultados muestran que pocos Estados y Municipios abordan ese tema, entre ellos el Estado de Río de Janeiro, el Estado de São Paulo, la ciudad de Ribeirão Preto, la ciudad de Florianópolis, la ciudad de Belém, el Estado de Santa Catarina, El Estado de Paraná, el Distrito Federal y el Estado de Ceará ya regularon la materia, así como la Ley nº 13.666 / 2018 que modifica la Ley nº 9.394 / 16. Los autores concluyen que además de conocer las pecurialidades de las manifestaciones orales de estos pacientes es imprescindible el conocimiento multidisciplinario del cirujano dentista, creando no sólo oportunidades de diagnóstico precoz, sino también la prevención y promoción de la salud oral.


ABSTRACT: Inflammatory intestinal diseases are characterized by disharmony of the bacterial flora of the intestine. These changes are characterized as a public health problem demonstrating that the main causes of diseases are associated with inadequate nutrition and, as a consequence, changes in the oral mucosa. The developed countries are currently defining strategies for the control of these diseases, having as one of the public strategies to promote healthy eating. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the Brazilian legislation in force regarding the professional dietitian to elaborate and follow the menu of school feeding, according to Federal Law No. 8,234, dated September 17, 1991, and the Resolution of the Federal Council of Nutritionists - CFN n ° 380/2005. It was carried out the survey of the Laws that establish a cadre of nutrition professionals in the public schools of the main Brazilian cities in the competent bodies. The results show that few States and Municipalities address this theme, among them the State of Rio de Janeiro, the State of São Paulo, the city of Ribeirão Preto, the city of Florianópolis, the city of Belém, the State of Santa Catarina, State of Paraná, the Federal District and the State of Ceará have already regulated the matter, as well as Law 13,666 / 2018, which amends Law 9,394 / 16. The authors conclude that besides knowing the characteristics of the oral manifestations of these patients, a multidisciplinary knowledge of the dental surgeon is essential, creating opportunities for early diagnosis, as well as the prevention and promotion of oral health.

ABSTRACT

Estimado Director: Con mucha satisfacción leí en el volumen 43, numero 3 (2017) de la Revista,* un interesante posicionamiento y sugerencias de la Dra. Judit Martínez Abreu** en la Sección Carta al Director, referente al análisis de situación de la salud bucal. Después de haber dedicado varios años a la investigación sobre el tema Análisis de Situación de Salud (ASIS), me sentí estimulada para enviarle mi comentario sobre lo expuesto por la doctora. Primero: que una profesional de la estomatología, haya dedicado tiempo a investigar sobre un complejo tema como el ASIS orientado a la salud bucal y desde una visión bien crítica, merece reconocimiento público. Existen otros expertos estomatólogos que también han desarrollado su trabajo sobre el ASIS, especialmente en la formación de recursos tanto a nivel de pregrado como de posgrado, incluidos libros, artículos y planes de estudio. Segundo: muy valiosos los criterios sobre su adquisición de competencias para entender la importancia de la comunicación científica mientras cursó el Doctorado Curricular Colaborativo, lo que al parecer, impulsó su interés en leer la revista (imagino que muchas más) y sobre todo, haberse impresionado por el artículo del Profesor Rojas Ochoa, sobre un tema seminal para los que nos dedicamos a la salud pública: reconocer la influencia de los determinantes de la salud y la necesidad de su estudio, bien conocido desde los tiempos hipocráticos e impulsado por los precursores del enfoque social de la salud. Que el tema determinantes resurgiera en décadas posteriores, en debates promovidos en el campo de la denominada medicina social y recientemente, en forma de resoluciones y orientaciones programáticas para diseñar políticas públicas y estrategias en los diferentes países, incluido Cuba, no debe hacernos pensar que es un enfoque novedoso. Tercero: en uno de los párrafos, expresa textualmente: [...] identifiqué algunas barreras e insuficiencias en aspectos relacionados con el proceso del análisis de situación de salud bucal. Posteriormente transcribe: [...] es esta una importante y útil herramienta científica que sirve de complemento al análisis de situación de salud que realizan el médico y la enfermera de la familia. Sin embargo, existen elementos que impiden el mejoramiento continuo de su calidad y que valdría la pena comentar a manera de reflexión. En cuanto a su identificación de barreras e insuficiencias para el proceso del análisis de salud bucal (ASIS-B) -permítame usar las siglas para reducir la extensión de mi comentario- si estas existen todavía para el ASIS que se realiza en los consultorios y áreas de salud, ¿podría esperarse que para el ASIS-B, que prácticamente se reprodujo con limitados ajustes y adecuaciones, no aparecieran esas insuficiencias y barreras? Hace años que en todas mis intervenciones en eventos, conferencias, clases y publicaciones sobre el tema, persisto en la necesidad de actualizar el ASIS en consonancia con el panorama cambiante, tanto en el mundo como en Cuba y sobre todo, reclamando la ampliación de su objeto para incluir los determinantes sociales de la salud. Mantener los indicadores que derivaron de los elementos del campo de salud de Lalonde, que fue la versión original del procedimiento para realizar el ASIS, es totalmente extemporáneo y también reclamé esa modificación. Que se haya reproducido y mantenido así en el Programa Nacional de Atención Estomatológica Integral a la Población, del que revisé la versión preliminar y ofrecí sugerencias, no significa que aparezca esta barrera o insuficiencia, para incumplir con el procedimiento correcto en la ejecución del ASIS-B. Algo similar ocurre con los programas de formación de las carreras de medicina, enfermería y tecnología de la salud en sus diversas licenciaturas, a pesar que en varias ocasiones y por invitación de sus directivos, me he reunido con los colectivos de los departamentos de salud de algunas facultades. Ante esa inmovilidad y rezago curricular, parafraseo la lúcida expresión del sabio Eisntein: la inteligencia no solamente es tener mucho conocimiento, también es ser creativo. Desafortunadamente, no aparecen los oídos receptivos para esos cambios que desde hace décadas, se necesitan para actualizar los procedimientos al realizar el ASIS, no solamente el ASIS-B. Cuarto: la doctora se pregunta: si el paciente es solo una entidad y se trabaja en un equipo de salud, por qué tener clasificaciones epidemiológicas respondiendo a profesiones distintas? ¿No sería mejor unificarlas e implementar criterios integradores? Considero poco aceptable mantener el concepto de clasificaciones epidemiológicas si se pretende realizar propuestas de cambio. Sugiero que precise mejor a qué se refiere con ese término, que tal vez tomó del programa cuestionado. Para implementar criterios integradores, no estimo correcto que se responda a profesiones distintas. Esa integración no se derivaría del perfil profesional, más bien del objeto de estudio del ASIS-B y al respecto, resulta positivo su llamado al cambio, que con su propuesta no explícita logre esa integración. No estoy totalmente de acuerdo con la opinión siguiente: la investigación cualitativa, pilar donde su sustenta el análisis de situación de salud bucal para la búsqueda de información y la conformación del plan de acción. Hace mucho tiempo que se mantiene el debate teórico, sobre la diferenciación entre lo cualitativo y lo cuantitativo y siempre he suscrito el criterio de que no existen esos compartimientos estancos, esas divisiones artificiales de dos aspectos que son totalmente complementarios. Para realizar el ASIS, se necesita tanto utilizar técnicas y herramientas cuantitativas como cualitativas y eso debía mantenerse para el ASIS-B. Tampoco deben confundirse los paradigmas de la salud pública, como disciplina científica, con el paradigma individualista y biológico de la medicina y cuidarse de colocar apellidos como estomatología social, aunque existan corrientes favorecedoras de tal definición. Reconocemos la salud pública como un armónico intercambio científico disciplinar que asegura su desarrollo y su paradigma predominante, que en la acepción más convencional -no olvidemos a Kuhn y Popper- desde hace años se enfoca a la atención médica individual e integral, más que a la determinación social de la salud y la enfermedad en la población, que es su objeto científico. Quinto: son bien intencionadas las recomendaciones cuando expresa: Para contribuir al mejoramiento de la calidad del proceso en la atención primaria de salud, debe aplicarse la intersectorialidad, lograrse el empoderamiento de las comunidades y fomentar la autorresponsabilidad individual y colectiva. Resta conocer cómo, después de tantas propuestas discursivas vinculadas a esos aspectos imprescindibles para la salud pública, se introduzcan innovaciones que transformen la teoría en una consecuente práctica. Estimo que algo hemos avanzado, pero no se lograrán mejores resultados si mantenemos estrategias obsoletas para enfrentar un contexto tan complejo como el que compartimos hoy los cubanos. Reitero mi satisfacción por el empeño de la doctora en ofrecer propuestas de cambio en la confección del ASIS-B y ojalá que mis comentarios hayan contribuido a iniciar un debate necesario, ese que tanto se requiere en nuestra comunidad científica y que, por supuesto, aportaría nuevas evidencias para sustentar los inevitables cambios del Sistema Nacional de Salud, para beneficio de la población(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La ansiedad al tratamiento estomatológico es un fenómeno psicológico cuyos efectos negativos en el paciente adulto tienen gran impacto desde el punto de vista psicológico y de salud bucal. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión bibliográfica de los efectos negativos de la ansiedad al tratamiento estomatológico en el paciente adulto. Métodos: Se efectuó un estudio de revisión bibliográfica sobre ansiedad al tratamiento estomatológico y sus efectos en el individuo, tomando en consideración la bibliografía publicada en Google académico, SciELO y Medline en el período comprendido de enero del 2013 a diciembre de 2017. Se obtuvo como resultado un total de 50 artículos, 46 de ellos en revistas internacionales, uno en revista nacional y tres libros, de los cuales fueron utilizados 33 una vez aplicado los criterios de exclusión establecidos. Análisis e integración de la información: La no adherencia al tratamiento estomatológico como consecuencia de la ansiedad está relacionada con la última visita realizada a la consulta y la frecuencia con que habitualmente acuden a recibir la atención, aspectos estos considerados fundamentales para abordar este fenómeno. Específicamente los efectos sobre el órgano dentario y los de sostén, son las consecuencias bucales que se informan en investigaciones actuales, para referirse al deterioro de la salud bucal en relación con este fenómeno psicológico. Los pacientes ansiosos ante el tratamiento estomatológico no sufren solamente consecuencias sobre su salud bucal, también es posible apreciar consecuencias psicológicas, relacionadas fundamentalmente con emociones negativas y un aislamiento social del individuo como resultado de su deterioro bucal. Conclusiones: La ansiedad al tratamiento estomatológico es el resultado histórico de las creencias y actitudes de las personas, que las llevan a rechazar o evitar la Estomatología como especialidad médica. Sus efectos son el resultado de la no adherencia al tratamiento, lo cual trae consigo problemas de salud bucal; además se nota un efecto psicológico considerable(AU)


Introduction: Anxiety to dental treatment is a psychological phenomenon whose negative effects in the adult patient have great impact from the points of view of psychology and oral health. Objective: To carry out a bibliographic review about the negative effects of anxiety on dental treatment in adult patients. Methods: A bibliographic review study on anxiety to dental treatment and its effects on the individual was carried out, taking into consideration the bibliography published in Google Academic, SciELO and Medline in the period from January 2013 to December 2017. As a result, we obtained a total amount of 50 articles, 46 of them in international journals, one in a national journal and three books, of which 33 were used once the established exclusion criteria were applied. Analysis and integration of the information: Non-adherence to dental treatment as a consequence of this anxiety is associated with the last visit made to the dental office and the frequency with which they usually attend to receive dental care, being the fundamental aspects considered to address this phenomenon. Specifically, the effects on the dental organ and those of support are the oral consequences reported in the current research, for referring to the deterioration of oral health in relation to this psychological phenomenon. Patients anxious about dental treatment do not only suffer consequences on their oral health, it is also possible to appreciate psychological consequences, mainly associated with negative emotions and social isolation of the individual as a result of their oral deterioration. Conclusions: Anxiety to dental treatment is the historical result of the beliefs and attitudes of the people, leading them to reject or avoid dental medicine as a medical specialty. Its effects are the result of non-adherence to treatment, bringing about oral-health problems. Also, a considerable psychological effect is noticed(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Os objetivos do estudo foram: (1) descrever o processo de trabalho das equipes de saúde bucal (ESB) do Brasil, com base nos atributos essenciais da atenção primária à saúde, segundo regiões, tipo de equipe e características socioeconômicas dos municípios; e (2) verificar se os dados do processo de trabalho das ESB do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB) foram capazes de aferir tais atributos. Estudo ecológico, de abrangência nacional, com dados do ciclo I do PMAQ-AB. Foram feitas análises descritivas, fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória (α = 5%). Os construtos formados foram analisados à luz dos atributos essenciais da atenção primária à saúde (primeiro contato, coordenação do cuidado, integralidade e longitudinalidade). Formaram-se os três primeiros construtos e um quarto fator, denominado ações em prótese dentária. Porém, o atributo longitudinalidade não foi conformado. As medidas de ajuste dos modelos foram satisfatórias. As cargas fatoriais foram maiores que 0,5, exceto para duas variáveis do fator 3. As ações mais realizadas pelas ESB (> 60%) foram as do primeiro contato e as menos comuns foram as da integralidade, destacando-se ter referência para especialidades (7,6%). Houve diferenças no processo de trabalho das ESB entre as regiões, tipo de equipe e estrato de certificação (p < 0,05). Conclui-se que os dados de processo de trabalho das ESB do ciclo I do PMAQ-AB foram capazes de discriminar três dos quatro atributos essenciais da atenção primária à saúde na rotina dos serviços. Sugere-se aprofundar a avaliação da longitudinalidade. Ademais, as ESB participantes do ciclo I do PMAQ-AB precisam avançar nas ações relacionadas à integralidade e coordenação do cuidado.


Abstract: The study aimed to: (1) describe the work process in Brazil's oral health teams, based on the essential attributes of primary health care, according to geographic region, type of team, and the municipality's socioeconomic characteristics and (2) verify whether the data in the work process of the oral health teams in the Brazilian National Program to Improve Access and Quality in primary health (PMAQ-AB) were capable of measuring such attributes. This was a nationwide ecological study with data from cycle I of PMAQ-AB. The study included descriptive, exploratory factor, and confirmatory factor analyses (α = 5%). Constructs were analyzed in light of the essential attributes of primary health care (first contact, coordination of care, comprehensiveness, and continuity). The first three constructs and a fourth factor were formed, called dental prosthesis actions. However, the continuity attribute was not formed. The models' goodness-of-fit measures were satisfactory. Factor loads were greater than 0.5, except for the two variables in factor 3. The actions most frequently performed by the oral health teams (> 60%) were in first contact, and the least frequent were those in comprehensiveness, highlighting referrals to specialties (7.6%). There were differences in the work process in oral health teams between regions of the country, type of team, and certification strata (p < 0.05). In conclusion, data on the work process in oral health teams from cycle primary health care in the services' work routine. Further research is recommended on continuity of care. In addition, the oral health teams participating in cycle I of PMAQ-AB should make further progress in actions related to comprehensiveness and coordination of care.


Resumen: Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: (1) describir el proceso de trabajo de los equipos de salud bucal (ESB) en Brasil, conforme los atributos esenciales de la atención primaria a la salud, según regiones, tipo de equipo y características socioeconómicas de los municipios; además de (2) verificar si los datos del proceso de trabajo de las ESB en el Programa Nacional de Mejora del Acceso y Calidad de la Atención Básica (PMAQ-AB) fueron capaces de evaluar tales atributos. Es un estudio ecológico, de cobertura nacional, con datos del ciclo I del PMAQ-AB. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios (α = 5%). Los constructos creados se analizaron a la luz de los atributos esenciales de la atención primaria a la salud (primer contacto, coordinación del cuidado, integralidad y longitudinalidad). Se generaron los tres primeros constructos, y un cuarto factor, denominado acciones en prótesis dental. No obstante, el atributo longitudinalidad no se configuró. Las medidas de ajuste de los modelos fueron satisfactorias. Las cargas factoriales fueron mayores que 0,5, excepto en dos variables del factor 3. Las acciones más realizadas por las ESB (> 60%) fueron las de primer contacto, y las menos comunes fueron las de integralidad, destacándose contar con referencias para especialidades (7,6%). Hubo diferencias en el proceso de trabajo de las ESB entre las regiones, tipo de equipo y extracto de certificación (p < 0,05). Se concluye que los datos del proceso de trabajo de las ESB del ciclo I del PMAQ-AB fueron capaces de discriminar tres de los cuatro atributos esenciales de la atención primaria a la salud en la rutina de los servicios. Se sugiere profundizar en la evaluación de la longitudinalidad. Además, las ESB participantes del ciclo I del PMAQ-AB necesitan avanzar en acciones relacionadas con la integralidad y coordinación del cuidado.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Debido al rápido crecimiento del grupo de adultos mayores y diabéticos en la población cubana, es posible predecir que los requerimientos en la atención odontológica serán mayores en los próximos años, por lo que la prevención y atención en Odontogeriatria se considera una necesidad del presente y futuro inmediatos. Objetivo: Determinar la influencia de la Diabetes mellitus en el estado de salud bucal del adulto mayor. Material y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en la clínica estomatológica del policlínico universitario Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy del Wajay, en el período de 2015 a 2016. La muestra fue de 634 adultos mayores de los tres consultorios seleccionados por un sistema de conglomerado monoetápico. Se realizó examen bucal y se completó un formulario para la recolección de la información. Las variables estudiadas fueron:Diabetes mellitus, edad, sexo, factores de riesgos y enfermedades bucales. Resultados: En la población diabética, predominó el grupo de 60-74 años y sexo femenino; los factores de riesgo que prevalecieron fueron las prótesis desajustadas (60 por ciento), la xerostomía (58 por ciento) (p=0,001) y el hábito de fumar (32 por ciento); las enfemedades más frecuentes, la periodontal (58,3 por ciento), las úlceras traumáticas (13,3 por ciento) y la queilitis angular (7.9 por ciento); solo existió significación en las dos últimas. Conclusiones: En la población diabética prevaleció el grupo de 60 a 74 años y sexo femenino. Las prótesis desajustadas fue el factor de riesgo más representado; seguido por la xerostomía, el hábito de fumar y la enfermedad periodontal y las úlceras traumáticas las enfermedades bucales que predominaron(AU)


Introduction: Due to the fast growth of the group of elderly and diabetics in the Cuban population, it is possible to predict that the requirements in the odontology attention will be greater in the next years. For that reason the prevention and attention in the Odontogeriatry is considered a necessity of the present and future Immediate. Objective: To determine the influence of the Diabetes mellitus in the state of the buccal health care of the senior citizens in the dentistry clinic in Wajay through 2015 to 2016. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in the stomatology clinic of the Polyclinic Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy in the period from 2015 to 2016. The sample was 634 older adults from the three clinics selected by a single-stage conglomerate system. A mouth exam was performed and a form for collecting the information was completed. The variables studied were: Diabetes mellitus, age, sex, risk factors and oral diseases. Results: In the diabetic population, the group of 60-74 years and female gender predominated. The risk factors that prevailed were maladaptive prostheses (60 percent), xerostomia (58 percent) (p = 0.001) and smoking (32 percent); Periodontal disease (58.3 percent), traumatic ulcers (13.3 percent) and angular cheilitis (7.9 percent); There was only meaning in the last two.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el conocimiento del estado de salud bucal de la población escolar resulta una premisa indispensable para el desarrollo de una correcta planificación, organización y control de la atención estomatológica. Objetivo: determinar el estado de salud de los primeros molares permanentes en estudiantes de la Secundaria Básica “Luis Pérez Lozano”, del Área 7, Cienfuegos, de enero a diciembre de 2015. Materiales y Métodos: estudio observacional-descriptivo en un universo constituido por 197 niños de 7mo grado. El muestreo fue bietápico, combinando aleatorio, estratificado, proporcional y simple. Los datos se obtuvieron a través del examen bucal. Se tuvieron en cuenta las variables edad, sexo, estado de salud, y ubicación de los molares afectados. Resultados: el mayor porcentaje de primeros molares permanentes cariados correspondió al primer molar mandibular derecho e izquierdo para 11,9 % en el sexo masculino y el sexo femenino con primer molar permanente izquierdo para 11,6 %. Las obturaciones de los primeros molares mandibulares izquierdo predominó con un 16,6 % en el masculino y el mandibular derecho con un 13,9 % en las féminas. El mayor número de molares permanentes perdidos resultó en los inferiores, mandibular izquierdo en las niñas para 9,3 % y el molar mandibular derecho en los varones (7,1 %). Ambos sexos igualmente afectados con diferencia porcentual del 1%. El índice de Cluné obtuvo que los molares sanos para el sexo masculino representan 52,3 % y 53,4 % del femenino. Conclusiones: El estado de salud de los primeros molares permanentes en general se clasifica de regular pues existe un número considerable de afectados (AU).


Introduction: the knowledge of the school population´s oral health is a necessary premise for carrying out a correct planning, organization and control of the dental care. Objective: to determine the health status of the first permanent molars in students of the secondary school “Luis Pérez Lozano” of the health area 7, Cienfuegos, from January to December 2015. Materials and methods: an observational, descriptive study applied in a universe of 197 seventh-grade children. The sampling was two-staging, combining the randomized, stratified, proportional and simple sampling. The sample was obtained through the oral examination. The variables taken into account were age, sex, health status, and location of the affected molars. Results: the higher percentage of carious permanent first molars corresponded to the right and left mandibular first molar for 11,9 % in male sex and to the first left permanent molar in female sex with 11,6 %. The fillings of the first left mandibular molars predominated with 16,6 % in the male sex, and the right mandibular one in women with 13,9 %. The highest number of lost permanent molars was found among the lower ones, the left mandibular in girls (9,3 %) and the right mandibular in boys (7,1 %). Both sexes were equally affected, with a 1 % percent difference. The Clune’s index showed that healthy molars are 52,3 % for the male sex and 53,4 % for the female sex. Conclusions: in general, the first permanent molars´ health status is classified as regular because there is a substantial number of carious ones (AU).

ABSTRACT

Introducción: para que la población de la llamada tercera edad goce de una adecuada calidad de vida, debe brindársele especial atención a los determinantes sociales de la salud. Objetivo: identificar los determinantes sociales de la salud que influyen en el bienestar de los adultos mayores. Métodos: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: los determinantes sociales, los determinantes estructurales y no estructurales, el componente psicosocial, el envejecimiento poblacional, los principales afectaciones de la salud. La revisión se realizó a través de los buscadores de información y plataformas: SciELO, Hinari y Medline. El resultado de la búsqueda mostró un aproximado de 97 artículos que fueron filtrados; se utilizaron 27 publicaciones científicas, de ellas el 79,3 por ciento de los últimos 5 años. Análisis e integración de la información: en el entorno del adulto mayor, los determinantes sociales interactúan entre sí, y revisten vital importancia sobre el bienestar. La situación de salud mejora a medida que los ingresos y la jerarquía son más altos. Los servicios de salud están organizados de forma tal que satisfacen las necesidades odontológicas. El papel de la familia es crucial por el apoyo psicosocial que brinda. Conclusiones: los determinantes sociales son de vital importancia en la salud de la población geriátrica, su dominio en el contexto de los servicios de salud y estomatológicos, son de gran utilidad para diseñar intervenciones intersectoriales que permitan transitar por la vejez con una mejor calidad(AU)


Introduction: in order for the elderly population to have a good quality of life, special attention should be paid to social determinants of health. Objective: identify the social determinants of health influencing the wellbeing of the elderly population. Methods: a bibliographic review was conducted. The inclusion criteria were the following: social determinants, structural and nonstructural determinants, the psychosocial component, population aging, main health disorders. The review was based on search engines and platforms SciELO, Hinari and Medline. About 97 papers were filtered and 27 scientific journals processed, 79.3 percent from the last five years.Data analysis and integration: social determinants related to the elderly population interact with one another and are vitally important for their wellbeing. Health conditions improve when income and hierarchy are higher. Health services are organized in such a way as to meet the needs for dental care. The role of the family is crucial due to the psychosocial support they provide. Conclusions: social determinants are paramount to the health of the elderly population, and very useful in the context of general and dental health care to design intersectoral interventions aimed at improving the quality of life of the elderly population(AU)
