ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the association between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and self-reported symptoms of TMD. METHODS: Representative samples of older adults (≥60 years) were included (n = 569). Both TMD symptoms and OHRQoL were assessed by Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) and Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), respectively. Prevalence (those answering "frequently" or "always" in at least one question), severity (total means scores), and extent (number of questions answered as "frequently" or "always") of OHRQoL were estimated. RESULTS: Overall, 33.4% and 9.5% had mild or moderate/severe TMD symptoms. Those with any symptom of TMD had a prevalence ratio (PR) 38% higher for the worst OHRQoL (95% confidence interval [95%CI]:1.04-1.82) compared to those without TMD symptoms. Worst OHRQoL were observed for those with mild (PR:1.35; 95%CI:1.01-1.81) and moderate/severe TMD (PR:1.53; 95%CI:1.04-2.26). Similar results were detected in the severity and extent of OHRQoL. CONCLUSION: Severity TMD was associated with worse ORHQoL.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida(QV)dosestudantesdepós-graduação em Odontologiapor meiodos domínios do World Health Organization Questionnaire for Quality of Life-bref (WHOQOL-bref). Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com 88 estudantes matriculados em um programa de pós-graduação em Odontologia. Os dados foram coletados entre junho e agosto de 2015, incluindoinformações sociodemográficas e um questionário de qualidade de vida, o WHOQOL-bref. Foi realizada associação dasinformações sociodemográficas com os domínios do questionário utilizadoe análise bivariada,seguida domodelo de regressão logística multinominal, sendo considerado significativo p<0,05. A maioria (55,7%)dos estudantesforam classificados na categoria "satisfação" quanto à qualidade de vida. Entre osdomínios, omaior escore encontrado foi paraRelações Sociais (15,23 ± 2,72),e o menorparao Físico (12,82 ± 1,56). Houve associação dafrequência da prática religiosa (p=0,046) e do ano da pós-graduação (p=0,025) com o domínio Físico; o sexo (p=0,016) e considerar-se religioso (p=0,008) com o domínio Psicológico; e o estado civil com os domínios Relações Sociais (p=0,017) e Meio Ambiente (p=0,008). A QVdos estudantes de pós-graduação em Odontologia foi mensurada na região de satisfação, podendo ser influenciada por fatores como religiosidade, ano da pós-graduação, sexo e estado civil (AU).
The objective of the study was to assessthe quality of life (QoL) of postgraduate students in Dentistry through the domains of the World Health Organization Questionnaire for Quality of Life-bref(WHOQOL-bref). This is a cross-sectional study, with 88 students enrolled in a postgraduate program in Dentistry. Data were collected between June and August 2015, including sociodemographic information and a quality of life questionnaire, the WHOQOL-bref. Sociodemographic information was associated with the domains of the questionnaire used. Bivariate analysis, followed by the multinomial logistic regression model were carried out, with p <0.05 being considered significant. The majority (55.7%) of students were classified in the "satisfaction" category interms of quality of life. In the domains, the highestscore found was in Social Relations (15.23 ± 2.72), and the lowest, in Physical (12.82 ± 1.56). There was an association between the frequency of religious practice (p=0.046) and the year of postgraduate school (p=0.025) with the Physical domain; gender(p 0.016) and consider yourself religious (p=0.008) with the Psychological domain; and marital status with the Social Relations (p=0.017) and Environment (p = 0.008) domains. The QoL of postgraduate students in Dentistry was measured in the region of satisfaction, which can be influenced by factors such as religiosity, year of graduation, genderand marital status (AU).

This study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL) of dental students in the 2019 Coronavirus Disease pandemic (COVID-19). A cross-sectional study was carried out with undergraduate students in Dentistry from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Data collection took place in May 2020, online, using questionnaires with sociodemographic, course-related and behavioral variables, in addition to the World Health Organization Questionnaire for Quality of Life-bref (WHOQOL-bref). Multinomial logistic regression was performed. 864 students participated in this study. Variables such as higher income (p = 0.034), having religion (p = 0.010), having health insurance (p = 0.005), satisfaction with sleep quality (p < 0.001), absence of insomnia (p < 0.001) and practicing physical activity always (p < 0.001) were associated with greater satisfaction regarding QOL. The QoL of dental students was classified in the dissatisfaction category, being perhaps impacted by the pandemic of COVID-19. Variables that reflected a more economically favorable living condition were associated with satisfaction with the quality of life of this public in the COVID-19 pandemic.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to systematically review the literature regarding the risk of selective removal-in comparison with stepwise and nonselective removal-of carious tissue in permanent teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Controlled clinical trials and cohort studies involving patients with dental caries in permanent teeth were included. Databases used were PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. The test group should be composed of patients undergoing selective removal of carious tissues, and the control group should comprise patients undergoing nonselective removal and/or stepwise removal of carious tissue. Laboratory tests, studies on primary teeth, and studies that used temporary restorations were excluded, as were literature reviews. The primary outcome was overall success of maintaining pulpal health (both clinically and radiographically). Quality of the restoration, pulp exposure, dentin deposition, and microbiological examination were also assessed. A meta-analysis, using the pooled risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI), was performed to assess the success of maintaining pulpal health, using the different control treatments as a subgroup analysis. RESULTS: A total of 2333 articles were retrieved, of which 10 were included in the systematic review and four in the meta-analysis. In the qualitative evaluation, the control groups presented a higher risk of pulp exposure in relation to the selective removal. In the meta-analysis, the selective carious tissue removal showed significantly higher overall success (RR, 95% CI 1.11, 1.02-1.21). CONCLUSIONS: The selective carious tissue removal presented higher success of maintaining pulpal health. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In permanent teeth, selective carious tissue removal should be performed, as this technique results in lower numbers of pulp complications, such as pulp exposure, as compared with nonselective removal.

O estudo visou aplicar as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) como suporte ao ensino no campo estágio em Odontologia através de um ambiente virtual de ensino (AVE) aberto, que atendesse às necessidades do estágio. Foi elaborado um sistema de avaliação que analisou os diversos aspectos da aprendizagem em campo. Foi implementado um portfólio de atividades como estratégia educativa no AVE e elaboradas categorias e critérios para sua análise. As ferramentas mais usadas no AVE foram o portfólio, o fórum de discussão e o diário de bordo, segundo a opinião dos estudantes. Aproximadamente 80% dos estudantes e 100% dos preceptores afirmaram que a inserção do AVE favoreceu o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. As ferramentas digitais criadas foram consideradas facilitadoras da aprendizagem pelos estudantes e preceptores avaliados. As TDIC contribuíam para a melhoria dos cursos de graduação, envolvendo de forma mais intensa alunos e professores, integrando-os às estratégias de comunicação, muitas vezes já tão utilizadas em contextos diversos fora da universidade. Foi possível caracterizar os estudantes analisados como sendo a maioria do sexo feminino, solteiros e sem filhos. Além disso, a maioria dos discentes somente estuda. Os estudantes avaliaram como positivo o desempenho dos preceptores. Não foram relatadas dificuldades vivenciadas pelos estudantes e preceptores com a utilização do AVE. O uso dessas tecnologias focou nos componentes curriculares do curso envolvidos, priorizando o acesso síncrono e assíncrono aos conteúdos, a autonomia dos discentes e a disseminação de uma cultura digital. A adequação das metodologias de ensino, permitiu melhorias no desempenho acadêmico dos alunos, professores e preceptores e estimulou o processo de educação permanente, facilitando o ensino-aprendizagem no Estágio em Odontologia (AU).
This study aimed to apply the Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) as a support to the teaching in the training ground of Dentistry through an open virtual teaching environment (VTE), that meets the needs of the internship. An evaluation system has been developed that has analyzed many aspects of field learning. A portfolio of activities was implemented as an educational strategy in the VTE and categories and criteria for its analysis were elaborated. The most used tools in the VTE were the portfolio, the discussion forum and the logbook, according to the students' opinion. Approximately 80% of the students and 100% of the tutors stated that the insertion of the VTE favored the teachinglearning process. The digital tools created were considered to be learning facilitators by the evaluated students and tutors. DICT has contributed to the improvement of undergraduate courses, involving students and teachers more intensely, integrating them into communication strategies, often already used in diverse contexts outside the university. It was possible to characterize the analyzed students as being the majority female, single and childless. In addition, most students only study. The students evaluated the performance of the tutors as positive. No difficulties experienced by students and tutors with the use of the VTE were reported. The use of these technologies focused on the curricular componentes of the course involved, prioritizing synchronous and asynchronous access to content, student autonomy and the dissemination of a digital culture. The adequacy of teaching methodologies allowed for improvements in the academic performance of students, teachers and tutors and stimulated the process of permanent education, facilitating teaching-learning in the Internship in Dentistry (AU).
