Clinical and Social Variables Association on the Frequency of Intellectual Disability Persons to Dental Care

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the association of oral health indicators and social variables on the frequency of visit to the dentist by persons with intellectual disability (ID). Material and Methods: The study comprised a sample consisting of 149 participants with ID, aged from 11 to 29 years, from non-governmental institutions. Semi-structured interviews were held to collect sociodemographic and psychosocial information with their parents/guardians, followed by oral health evaluations in accordance with World Health Organization criteria. Crude analyses and multiple analysis were conducted to test whether oral health indicators and social data were predictors of the visit to dental care services. Results: In the multiple logistic regression model, individuals with lower DMF-t (OR=3.13; 95% CI=1.40-6.97) and those with less crowded housing (OR=2.33; 95% CI=1.06-5.12) presented less frequency of visits to oral health services. Conclusion: DMFT and crowded housing are associated to the frequency of persons with intellectual disability to dental care as well as this outcome measure affects the oral health of persons with ID. Therefore, identifying limiting factors to dental care of persons with intellectual disability is needed so that this group can receive adequate attention.

Desempenho dos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas da 2ª Regional de Saúde do Paraná / Performance of Dental Care Specialties Centers of the 2nd Health Regional from Paraná

Resumo Introdução Os Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) possuem papel importante na redução das iniquidades de acesso aos serviços odontológicos especializados. Assim, eles devem ser avaliados em prol da melhoria contínua do seu desempenho. Objetivo Avaliar o cumprimento das metas de desempenho dos CEO da 2ª Regional de Saúde do Paraná. Método Procedeu-se à avaliação do desempenho dos CEO, por meio do indicador de cumprimento global de metas e indicadores socioeconômicos. Para tal, foram utilizados dados secundários de 2014 do Sistema de Informação Ambulatorial do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIA/SUS), do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES) e do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Resultados Em 2014, apenas o CEO do município de Colombo apresentou desempenho ruim (cumprimento de nenhuma meta), estabelecendo divergência ao desempenho ótimo (cumprimento das três metas) obtido pelos demais municípios. Conclusão O desempenho dos CEO sofre influência das caraterísticas contextuais atinentes à região em que estão inseridos. Portanto, observa-se a necessidade de repensar os métodos de avaliação desses estabelecimentos por meio da construção de instrumentos de avaliação que ponderem a singularidade de cada região.

Abstract Background The Dental Specialist Centers (CEO) have an important role in reducing the iniquities of access to specialized dental services. Thus, they should be evaluated for the continuous improvement of their performance. Objective To evaluate compliance with the performance goals of the CEO of the 2nd Health Regional of Paraná. Method The performance of the CEO was assessed by the Global Goal Compliance indicator and socioeconomic indicators. For that, secondary data from 2014 of the Outpatient Information System of the Unified Health System (SIA/SUS), the National Register of Health Establishments (CNES) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) were used. Results In 2014, only the CEO of the municipality of Colombo presented poor performance (meeting no goal), establishing divergence to the optimal performance (compliance with the 3 goals) obtained by the other municipalities studied. Conclusion The performance of CEOs is influenced by the contextual characteristics of the region in which they are inserted. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink the evaluation methods of these establishments, through the construction of evaluation instruments that consider the singularity of each region.

Analysis of clinical, demographic, socioeconomic, and psychosocial determinants of quality of life of persons with intellectual disability: a cross-sectional Study.

AIMS: To evaluate the perception of parents about the impact of oral problems in their children, and of demographic, socioeconomic and psychosocial factors on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of Brazilian adolescents and young adults with intellectual disability (ID), in 2014. METHODS: The sample consisted of 119 individuals. Data collection was performed in stages: calibration and pilot study; Application of questionnaires; Exam of caries, periodontal and need for dental prostheses, in accordance with the World Health Organization criteria. The data were subjected to both bivariate and multivariate analyses to test the association of independent variables with the dependent variable (QoL). RESULTS: Worse QoL was associated with the presence of periodontal pocket (p = 0.03; OR = 2.50; 95% CI 1.06 to 5.90), treatment need (p = 0.01; OR = 5.00; 95% CI 1.37 to 18.31), and need for dental prostheses (p = 0.03; OR = 2.89; 95% CI 1.13 to 7.37). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that clinical determinants had the greatest influence on OHRQoL of individuals with ID.

Determinantes Sociais e sua Relação com a Experiência de Cárie em Adolescentes: um Estudo Transversal / Social Determinants and Their Relationship with the Dental Caries in Adolescents: a Cross Sectional Study

Recursos materiais e não materiais têm sido investigados para o entendimento do processo saúde-doença. Entretanto, o papel do suporte social na proteção/desenvolvimento de doenças bucais, como a cárie dentária, ainda parece obscuro. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência dos recursos socioeconômicos e psicossociais na experiência de cárie em adolescentes residentes em duas regiões de Nova Friburgo, Lumiar e Olaria. A amostra não probabilística compreendeu 45 adolescentes de Lumiar e 75 de Olaria de 12 anos de idade de escolas públicas deambas regiões. Os resultados foram avaliados através de análise descritiva e mostraram uma baixa prevalência de cárie (CPO-D 1,13), para os adolescentes de Lumiar, e CPO-D= 3,27 para grupo de polarização da doença. Em Olaria, observou-se um valor médio de CPO-D dosadolescentes de 1,84. O grupo de polarização da cárie nos residentes do bairro de Olaria apresentou CPO-D= 4,21. Houve tendência à maiorescolaridade estar relacionada aos responsáveis dos adolescentes livres de cáries. Concluiu-se que a escolaridade dos responsáveis parece ser um possível fator relacionado à experiência de cárie e que o capital social pode ter influenciado a experiência de cárie.

Material and non-material resources have been investigated to understand the health-disease process. However, the role of social support in the protection/development of oral diseases such as dental caries still seems unclear. This study evaluated the effect of socio-economic and psychosocial resources on caries experience in adolescents in two regions of Nova Friburgo, Lumiar and Olaria. The non-probabilistic sample comprised of 45 and 75 12 year old students of public schools, living in Lumiar and Olaria, respectively. The evaluation involved an examination of dental caries on the adolescents, according to WHO criteria, besides a semi-structured interview with each tutor of the adolescents, in home environments, in order to record information about the different material and non-material resources. The descriptive results showed a low prevalence of caries (D3 MFT 1.13) and a polarization group- SIC Index (Significant Caries Index) - with a D3 MFT mean of 3.27 for the adolescents living in Lumiar. The D3 MFT mean was 1.84 and SIC Index was 4.21 in the adolescent group in Olaria. Thus,education of the tutor seemed to lead to protection against the disease and social capital may have influenced the caries experience by behavingnegatively as a detrimental factor to oral health in adolescents.
