The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between depressive symptoms and the occurrence of oral mucositis in children with oncological diseases treated at a reference hospital. This was a cross-sectional study conducted with individuals aged 4 to 18 years, diagnosed with primary neoplasms. Data was collected by using a questionnaire that assessed the degree of oral mucositis according to the World Health Organization index, the risk of oral mucositis according to the Child's International Mucositis Evaluation Scale, and depressive symptoms using the Children's Depression Inventory. The data were analyzed and subjected to Spearman's correlation, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test, considering p<0.05. A statistically significant correlation was observed between depressive symptoms and the degree of oral mucositis (p = 0.044), and also between the "pain" variable within the risk of oral mucositis and depressive symptoms (p = 0.021). Based on the findings, it can be inferred that oral mucositis may be associated with the development of depressive symptoms and may be influenced by the individual's hospitalization, thereby affecting the quality of life of pediatric patients.

Resumo Objetivo: identificar a prevalência e determinar a previsibilidade de impactação de caninos superiores permanentes com base em uma amostra de radiografias panorâmicas na região Sudoeste da Bahia, Brasil. Métodos: realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico transversal retrospectivo, em que foram analisadas 5.611 radiografias panorâmicas. No primeiro estudo, houve análise de 4.987 radiografias de pacientes com idades entre 15 a 54 anos, em fase de dentadura permanente, para identificar a prevalência de caninos impactados. O segundo estudo contou com 624 indivíduos em fase de dentadura mista, entre 8 e 14 anos, em que método empregado foi a localização de caninos impactados a partir da determinação da previsibilidade. Foram realizados cálculo amostral e análise estatística descritiva, através do teste qui-quadrado. Resultados: foram encontrados 53 casos de caninos impactados com rizogênese completa dentro do estudo de prevalência, assim como uma média de idade de 27,4 anos entre o sexo feminino (60,3%) e o masculino (39,7%). Foram encontrados 46 casos de uma possível impactação em indivíduos com idade média de 11,7 anos, sendo 54,3% do sexo masculino e 45,7% do feminino. Após o teste qui-quadrado pôde-se perceber relevância estatística entre a faixa de idade de 11 e 12 anos com a previsibilidade da anomalia, em contrapartida, não se percebeu a mesma relação com o aumento da idade do indivíduo. Conclusão: com base nos resultados, foi possível determinar a prevalência de caninos impactados em 1,06% e a taxa de previsibilidade foi de 6,05%. (AU)
Abstract Objective: to identify the prevalence and to determine the predictability of permanent superior canine impaction based on a panoramic radiographic sample in the Southwestern region of Bahia, Brazil. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional epidemiological study which analyzed 5,611 panoramic radiographs was performed. In the first study, 4,987 radiographs of patients whose ages were between 15 to 54 years old in permanent dentition phase were analyzed to identify the prevalence of impacted canines. The second study included 624 individuals in the mixed dentition phase, between 8 and 14 years old, in which the method used was impacted canines localization based on predictability determination. The sample calculation and descriptive statistical analysis have been performed using the chi-square test. Results: we have found 53 cases of canines impacted with complete rhizogenesis within the prevalence study, as well as a mean age of 27.4 years between female (60.3%) and male (39.7%). We have found 46 cases of a possible impaction in individuals with a mean age of 11.7 years, 54.3% of males and 45.7% of females. After the chi-square test, it was possible to perceive statistical significance between the age group between 11 and 12 years with predictability of the anomaly, in contrast, the same relationship with the increase of the individuals age has not been perceived. Conclusion: based on the results, it was possible to determine the prevalence of impacted canines in 1.06% and the rate of predictability was 6.05%.(AU)
