Accuracy of dental implants positioning in computer-assisted surgeries: In vitro study.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to presents an experimental method for surgical guide confection using an intraoral scanner to obtain a 3D model of the patient's complete denture and compare its accuracy with the conventional methodology using computed tomography. STUDY DESIGN: This prospective in-vitro study used 30 polyurethane pre-manufactured mandibles which were divided into two groups, conventional technique (group I) and a new method using intraoral scanner (group II), establishing the virtually planned position of the dental implants as a control group, considered as the gold standard for postoperative comparison. RESULTS: The difference between these methods is close to zero and not statistically significant (p > 0.05), being heigh deviation (Xh) with p:0.130 and angulation difference of dental implants between the groups (Ang) with p:0.396. CONCLUSION: The acquisition of stereolithography image of the prosthesis using an intraoral scanner has a clinically acceptable accuracy, being in agreement with the conventional method.

NON ADHERENCE TO TUBERCULOSIS TREATMENT IN SÃO PAULO STATE: REFLECTIONS ON HEALTH MANAGEMENT AND NURSING

Objective: To associate abandonment of tuberculosis treatment with the variables of access to health services in the state of São Paulo was estimated. Methods: was an epidemiological observational study with data to individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis, residing in the state of São Paulo in the period 2012 to 2017. Generalized Estimating Equations models were used to analyze the relationships between independent variables and noncompliance with tuberculosis treatment over time. Results: A prevalence of over 12% of noncompliance with tuberculosis treatment was identified. Individuals residing in medium and large-sized municipalities had, 2.64 (95% CI: 2.15-3;24) and 4.48 (CI 95%: 4.62-5.55) times more risk, respectively, of abandoning TB treatment when compared with those living in small cities (p<0.05). Moreover, presence of Psychosocial Care Centers did not contribute to the reduction of treatment abandonment [1.20 (1.03-1.40) p<0.05]. Conclusions: Was an association between municipal size and abandonment of tuberculosis treatment.

Introdução: Estimou-se a associação entre o abandono do tratamento da tuberculose com variáveis de acesso ao serviço de saúde no estado de São Paulo. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico ecológico com fonte de dados secundários de indivíduos diagnosticados com tuberculose, no período de janeiro/2012 a dezembro/2017 residentes no estado de São Paulo. A variável desfecho é o abandono do tratamento da tuberculose. Foram efetuadas análises e considerada a distribuição de Poisson, estimados os riscos relativos brutos e ajustados, dispostas em dois blocos de variáveis considerando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Identificou-se uma prevalência superior a 12% no abandono do tratamento da TB no estado de São Paulo no período estudado. Indivíduos residentes em municípios de médio e grande porte têm, respectivamente, 2,64 (IC95%: 2,15-3,24) e 4,48 (IC95%: 4,62-5,55) vezes mais risco de abandonar o tratamento da TB quando comparados ao que vivem em municípios pequeno porte (p<0,05), bem como, municípios com a presença do CAPS não contribuíram para a diminuição do abandono [1,20 (1,03-1,40) p<0,05]. Conclusão: houve associação entre o porte municipal e o abandono do tratamento de Tuberculose.

Uso de álcool associado aos transtornos mentais em homens adultos / Use of alcohol associated with mental disorders in adult men / Uso de alcohol asociado con trastornos mentales en hombres adultos

Introdução: Do ponto de vista da saúde pública, a população masculina adulta mostra-se vulnerável ao uso de álcool e as suas consequências. A detecção precoce, assim como a busca por fatores associados são necessárias e as unidades de Saúde da Família são importantes locais para esta abordagem. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o uso de álcool em homens adultos e verificar sua associação com fatores socioeconômicos, demográficos e transtornos mentais (episódio depressivo maior e transtorno de ansiedade generalizada). Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal em adultos de 20 a 59 anos do município de Piracicaba, cadastrados nas Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF) no ano 2018. Após análises descritivas, as variáveis com p<0,20 nas análises simples foram estudas em modelos de regressão binomial negativa múltipla. Pelo modelo final, estimaram-se as razões de médias ajustadas com os intervalos de 95% de confiança. Resultados: Observou-se prevalência de 26,9% de consumo de álcool na população estudada. O escore do The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) apresentou relação direta com a idade (razões de médias ­ RM=1,02; intervalo de confiança ­ IC95% 0,99­1,03). Quanto à religião, protestantes e evangélicos apresentaram escore médio de AUDIT menor que os demais (RM=1,78; IC95% 1,14­2,79). Pessoas com transtorno mental apresentam escore médio de AUDIT maior que os sem transtorno (RM=2,30; IC95% 1,28­4,11). Conclusões: Concluímos que o consumo de álcool na população adulta masculina é bastante prevalente, que seu consumo aumenta com a idade, que a religião tem efeito protetor e que pessoas com depressão e ansiedade apresentam maior propensão ao uso. Com base nesses dados, destacamos a importância da USF no desenvolvimento de estratégias que rastreiem as condições de risco de sua população, bem como discutam abordagens e possíveis intervenções.

Introduction: From the point of view of public health, the adult male population is vulnerable to alcohol use and its consequences. Early detection and the search for associated factors are necessary, and the Family Health Units are important places for this approach. Objective: This study aimed to identify the use of alcohol in adult men and to verify its association with socioeconomic and demographic factors and mental disorders (major depressive episode and generalized anxiety disorder). Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out on adults aged 20 to 59 years in the city of Piracicaba, Brazil, registered in Family Health Units in the year 2018. After descriptive analyses, variables with p<0.20 in simple analyses were studied in multiple negative binomial regression models. According to the final model, the adjusted ratios of means were estimated with 95% confidence intervals. Results: There was a high prevalence of alcohol consumption (26.9%) in the study population. Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score increased with age (ratios of means ­ RoM=1.02; confidence interval ­ 95%CI 0.99­1.03). Concerning religion, Protestants and Evangelicals had an average AUDIT score lower than other religions (RoM=1.78; 95%CI 1.14­2.79). People with mental disorders have an average AUDIT score higher than those without disorders (RoM=2.30; 95%CI 1.28­4.11). Conclusions: The authors conclude that alcohol in the adult male population is prevalent, with consumption increasing with age; religion has a protective effect, and people with depression and anxiety are more likely to use it. Taking this into consideration, it is worth highlighting the importance of Family Health Units in the development of strategies to monitor the risk conditions of its population as well as the discussion and approach of interventions.

Factors associated with poor oral health-related quality of life among non-institutionalized Brazilian older adults: Oral health and quality of life in older adults.

AIMS: To investigate the factors associated with poor oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a sample of Brazilian older adults. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 535 non-institutionalized elders aged 60 years or older from Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. OHRQoL was measured using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Data on sociodemographic characteristics, self-perceived general health status, and health-related behaviors were obtained through a structured questionnaire. Data on chronic diseases were obtained from health records. Associations between exploratory factors and low OHRQoL (% GOHAI score <30) were evaluated using multivariate Poisson regression models to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) and confidence intervals. The mean OHRQoL score was 30 (± 4.4). In bivariate analysis, being not married, smoking, and self-rated "fair/poor" general health status were associated with lower OHRQoL. In the adjusted model, self-rated "fair/poor" general health (PR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.05-1.48), presence of chronic diseases (PR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.37-2.58), smoking (PR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.02-1.53), and reason for last dental appointment (PR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.13-1.59) were associated with poor OHRQoL. CONCLUSION: Non-institutionalized older adults with a history of chronic diseases, who smoke, have a negative perception of their general health, and had the last dental appointment motivated by pain present significantly higher prevalence rates of poor OHRQoL.

Relationship between risk classifications used to organize the demand for oral health in a small city of São Paulo, Brazil. / Relação entre classificações de risco utilizadas para organização da demanda em saúde bucal em município de pequeno porte de São Paulo, Brasil.

Oral health teams can work with both information of the people related to the family context as individual epidemiological through risk ratings, considering equity and service organization. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the association between tools that classify individual and family risk. The study group consisted of students from the age group of 5-6 years and 11-12 years who were classified regarding risk of caries and whether their parents had periodontal disease, in addition to the family risk. There was an association between the risk rating for decay in children (n = 128) and family risk classification with Coef C = 0.338 and p = 0.01, indicating that the higher the family's risk, the higher the risk of caries. Similarly, the association between the risk classification for periodontal disease in parents and family risk classification with Coef C = 0.5503 and p = 0.03 indicated that the higher the family risk, the higher the risk of periodontal disease. It can be concluded that the use of family risk rating tool is indicated as a possibility of ordering actions of the dental service, organizing their demand with greater equity, in this access door.

Relação entre classificações de risco utilizadas para organização da demanda em saúde bucal em município de pequeno porte de São Paulo, Brasil / Relationship between risk classifications used to organize the demand for oral health in a small city of São Paulo, Brazil

Resumo As Equipes de Saúde Bucal podem trabalhar tanto com informações das populações relacionadas ao contexto familiar como epidemiológicas individuais, através de classificações de risco pensando em equidade e organização do serviço. O propósito do estudo foi avaliar a associação entre ferramentas que classificam o risco familiar e o individual. O grupo de estudo consistiu de escolares das faixas etárias de 5-6 anos e de 11-12 anos classificados para cárie e seus pais para doença periodontal e ambos para o risco familiar. Houve associação entre a classificação de risco para cárie nos escolares (n = 128) com a familiar, com Coef C = 0,338 e p = 0,01, indicando que quanto maior o risco familiar há tendência de maior risco de cárie. Da mesma forma, a associação entre a classificação de risco para doença periodontal nos pais, com a classificação de risco familiar, com Coef C = 0,5503 e p = 0,03, indicou que, quanto maior o risco familiar há tendência de maior risco de doença periodontal. Pode-se concluir que a utilização da ferramenta de classificação de risco familiar está indicada, como possibilidade de ser ordenadora das ações do serviço odontológico, organizando sua demanda com maior equidade, nesta porta de acesso.

Temporomandibular disorders and relationship with socio-demographic and clinical variables in a University of the state of Rio de Janeiro / Disfunções temporomandibulares e a relação com determinantes sócio-demográficos e clínicos em uma universidade do estado do Rio de Janeiro

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at identifying the prevalence of suspected temporomandibular disorders in employees and students of a Brazilian university and at evaluating the influence of socio-demographic and clinical variables on this disorder. METHODS: This study had a non-probabilistic sample of 575 volunteers who were evaluated by a questionnaire proposed by the American Academy of Orofacial Pain. RESULTS: Suspected temporomandibular disorder was present in 60.87% of the population. By means of multiple logistic regression analysis, just clinical variables were associated to the presence of suspected temporomandibular disorder, such as: headache, neck pain or teethache (OR=47.60), stiff, tight or regularly tired jaws (OR=13.37), mouth opening difficulty (OR=13.55) and pain around the ears, temples or cheeks (OR=4.61). CONCLUSION: The questionnaire was effective as a pre-screening tool to identify symptoms, and results support the importance of clinical symptoms for the identification and follow up of patients with such disorders.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a prevalência de suspeita de disfunção temporomandibular em funcionários e estudantes em uma universidade no Brasil e analisar a influência das variáveis sócio-demográficas e clínicas sobre essa disfunção. MÉTODOS: Este estudo teve uma amostra não probabilística compreendendo 575 voluntários que foram avaliadas por um questionário, proposto pela Academia Americana de Dor Orofacial. RESULTADOS: A suspeita de disfunção temporomandibular estava presente em 60,87% da população. Por meio da análise de regressão logística múltipla, apenas variáveis clínicas foram associadas com a presença de suspeita de disfunção temporomandibular, como: apresentar cefaleia, dores no pescoço ou nos dentes (OR=47,60), maxilares rígidos, apertados ou cansados com regularidade (OR=13,37), dificuldade na abertura da boca (OR=13,55) e dor ao redor das orelhas, têmporas ou bochecha (OR=4,61). CONCLUSÃO: O questionário foi eficaz como um instrumento de pré-triagem no levantamento dos sintomas; e os resultados suportam o ponto forte dos sintomas clínicos na identificação e acompanhamento de indivíduos com tais lesões.
