Spatial density of adolescents aged 14 years old, victims of dental: A longitudinal study.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Knowledge about the spatial density of the domiciles of dental trauma victims can assist in the identification of the most vulnerable areas and contribute to the planning of prevention, promotion, control, and treatment actions, focusing on the most affected areas. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial density of domiciles of 14-year-old adolescent victims of dental trauma, in the city of Diamantina, Brazil, after a two-year follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This longitudinal study was carried out with 584 adolescents between 2013 and 2015. Dental trauma, overjet, and lip protection were assessed by two trained and calibrated examiners (K > 0.70). Information about binge drinking was collected among the adolescents through the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and sociodemographic indicators were obtained through a questionnaire answered by the caregivers of the adolescents. Spatial analyses were performed to evaluate the spatial density of adolescents with dental trauma and the independent variables of interest according to the domicile using Ripley's K function and the Kernel Map. RESULTS: Ripley's K function revealed spatial aggregation of the domiciles of adolescent victims of dental trauma in relation to males, binge drinking and overjet, with a confidence interval of 95%. The higher density of domiciles with adolescents with two or more traumatized teeth was found in the north-east region of the city. Boys were the most affected, their homes were located in the north, north-west, and south-east regions at baseline and follow-up. The largest density of domiciles of adolescents with overjet greater than 5 mm and inadequate lip protection was in the north-east region. Similar spatial distribution was identified for binge drinking for both years. CONCLUSION: The majority of adolescents with dental trauma lived in the north-east and south-east regions, characterized by high population density and greater social vulnerability.

Assessment of the Need for Dental Treatment Resulting From Dental Trauma in 12-Year-Old Brazilian Schoolchildren: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract Objective: To identify the need for restorative treatment in 12-year-old Brazilian schoolchildren with dental trauma and its association with clinical and socioeconomic factors. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional population-based study was carried out with sample composed of 588 12-year-old students from the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected from August to November 2016 through clinical examination, adopting the Andreasen classification and semi-structured questionnaire to verify the etiology and location of the accident that resulted in dental trauma. Statistical analysis included the frequency distribution and bi and multivariate analysis, with 5% significance level. Results: The presence of 219 traumatized teeth in 176 students was observed (29.9%). The main lesion was enamel fracture (41.4%), followed by enamel and dentin fracture (39.4%). The presence of restorative treatment was observed only in 11.5% of students. Fall (43.5%) was the most frequent etiology, followed by accidents on the streets (35.8%). Need for treatment was present in 53.4% of adolescents. Statistically significant association between males (p=0.010), severe overjet (p<0.0001) and inadequate lip protection (p<0.0001) and presence of dental trauma was observed. Maternal schooling over 8 years of study was statistically associated with need for restorative treatment (OR = 2.047; CI: 1.099-3.813; p=0.023). Conclusion: Prevalence of dental trauma, need for restorative treatment and number of adolescents with no access to restorative treatment in this study were high, point out that the health system is unable to satisfactorily prevent dental trauma and absorb all dental treatment demand resulting from dental trauma.

[Pain, anxiety and quality of life related to the oral health of patients treated in a dental emergency clinic]. / Dor, ansiedade e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal de pacientes atendidos no serviço de urgência odontológica.

The scope of this study was to assess the association between preoperative pain, anxiety and the impact of the oral condition on the quality of life of patients treated at the Dental Emergency Service at the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted evaluating data from 240 patient charts aged from 18 to 65 years. Pain was measured by the Heft-Parker Visual Analog Scale; dental anxiety by Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale; and oral health-related quality of life by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Associations were analyzed using Pearson's Chi-square test (p < 0.05). A statistically significant association was observed between pain and poorer quality of life, with impacts on psychological discomfort (p < 0.001), physical incapacity (p < 0.001) and the psychological (p < 0.001) and social (p < 0.001) domains. Anxiety influenced poorer quality of life, with impacts on the psychological discomfort (p = 0.009), physical disability (p = 0.016), psychological disability (p = 0.011) and social disadvantage (p = 0.028) domains. This study is relevant for the planning of programs and actions aimed at the oral health of patients treated in dental emergency services, prioritizing those with the greatest psychosocial impact arising from oral problems.

Organização e resolutividade dos serviços públicos odontológicos para a atenção em saúde bucal de pré-escolares: estudo em dois municípios brasileiros / Organization and resolubility of public dental services to the oral health care of preschool children: study of two Brazilian cities

Objetivo:Descrever a organização e a resolutividade da rede pública de saúde para a atenção em saúde bucal de crianças de zero a seis anos em dois municípios brasileiros. Métodos:Estudo transversal descritivo realizado com dados secundários dos prontuários de crianças atendidas pelos serviços de saúde bucal [convencional ou Equipes de Saúde Bucal (ESB)] nos municípios de Belo Horizonte, 2014, e Diamantina, em 2015, Minas Gerais, Brasil. A resolutividade foi avaliada pela relação entre os percentuais de Tratamento Odontológico Concluído (TC) e de Primeira Consulta (PC). Nos dois municípios, a Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) é o modelo de organização dos serviços da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Em Belo Horizonte, amostra representativa das crianças foi selecionada entre aquelas examinadas no Levantamento de Necessidades pelas ESB em 18 das 147 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS). Em Diamantina, a organização do atendimento odontológico é o convencional e se dá por livre demanda, sendo realizado em quatro das sete UBS. Análise descritiva dos dados foi realizada para obtenção de frequências absolutas e relativas. Resultados:Foram analisados 1.344 prontuários em Belo Horizonte, 595 deles de crianças (44,27%) tiveram PC. Destas, 295 (21,95%) tiveram TC, com resolutividade de 49,58%. No município de Diamantina, todos os 43 prontuários odontológicos de crianças encontrados nas UBS com atendimento odontológico foram avaliados. Destas, 29 crianças (67,44%) tiveram a PC e 11 (25,58%) TC, representando resolutividade de 37,93%. Conclusão:Há diferenças na organização e no modelo de atenção em saúde bucal para crianças nos municípios estudados. Para os dois municípios, o acesso e a resolutividade das crianças ao cuidado em saúde bucal se constituem em desafios para os serviços públicos de saúde na APS. (AU)

Objective: to describe the organization and resolution of the public health network for the oral health care of children from zero to six years of age in two Brazilian cities. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with secondary data from the charts of children who received dental care by oral health services [conventional or Oral Health Teams] in the cities of Belo Horizonte, in 2014, and Diamantina, in 2015, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The resolution was evaluated by the ratio between the percentages of Completed Treatment and First Appointment. In both cities, the Family Health Strategy is the organizational model of PHC services. In Belo Horizonte, a representative sample of the children was selected among those examined by the Oral Health Teams' survey of needs in 18 of the 147 Health Centers. In Diamantina, the dental care organization is conventional and occurs on demand, and is performed in four of the seven Health Centers. Descriptive data analysis was performed to obtain absolute and relative frequencies. Results: A total of 1,344 medical records were analyzed in Belo Horizonte, 595 of which were children (44.27%) who had their First Dental Appointment. Of these, 295 (21.95%) presented Completed Dental Treatment, with a resolution of 49.58%. In the municipality of Diamantina, all 43 children's dental records found in the Health Center that contained dental care were evaluated. Of these, 29 children (67.44%) had their First Dental Appointment and 11 (25.58%) Completed Dental Treatments, representing a resolution of 37.93%. Conclusion: Differences were found in the organization and model of oral health care for children in the studied municipalities. For both municipalities, children's access and resolution in Oral Health constitute challenges for public health services in Primary Health Care. (AU)

Correlates of binge drinking among Brazilian adolescents.

Adolescence is a vulnerable period for risk-taking tendencies, including binge drinking. The aim of this study was to examined the prevalence of binge drinking and its association with factors related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages by best friend, familial factors, socioeconomic status and religiosity. A Census of 633 students from public and private schools in Diamantina-MG was conducted. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-C (AUDIT-C) and, another on the consumption of alcohol by family and friends. Surveys inquiring about socioeconomic conditions were sent to parents/guardians. Descriptive and bivariate analyzes were performed (p < 0.05). The log-binomial model was used to calculate PR and 95% CI. The prevalence of binge drinking was 23.1%. The average age of onset of alcohol consumption was 10,8 years. Binge drinking was more prevalent among adolescents whose best friend [OR = 4.72 (95% CI 2.78-8.03)] and brother [PR = 1.46 (95% CI 1.10-1.92)] drink alcohol. Religiosity [PR = 0.40 (95% CI 0.27-0.62)] appeared as a possible protective factor. Our findings indicate that peer effects are important determinants of drinking and could be utilized as a potential target for interventions to reduce alcohol consumption rates.

Resumo Introdução O uso de drogas entre adolescentes está aumentando, e o hábito vem se enraizando cada vez mais precocemente. Objetivo Investigar a associação do uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, sexo e condição socioeconômica entre adolescentes de 12 anos. Método Estudo transversal foi realizado em amostra representativa de adolescentes matriculados em escolas públicas e privadas da área urbana de Diamantina, Minas Gerais. Dados foram coletados por meio de questionários autoaplicados. O consumo de drogas foi investigado utilizando o instrumento ASSIST (Teste para Triagem do Envolvimento com Álcool, Cigarro e Outras Substâncias). Para investigar a condição socioeconômica, foram utilizados os indicadores: tipo de escola, renda familiar e escolaridade materna. As associações foram testadas pelos testes do Qui-quadrado de Pearson e Exato de Fisher (p < 0,05). Resultados A prevalência do consumo de álcool foi de 45,6% (260/588); uso de maconha, de 1,5% (9/588); de cocaína, 0,3% (2/588); e de inalantes, 1,7% (10/588). Sexo masculino esteve associado estatisticamente com consumo de maconha (p = 0,018) e de álcool (p = 0,012), mas não com uso de inalantes (p = 0,536). Na amostra estudada, não foi observada associação estatisticamente significativa entre o consumo de drogas ilícitas e os indicadores socioeconômicos. O consumo de álcool esteve associado ao uso de maconha p = 0,013 [OR:9,814 (1,220-78,984)]. Conclusão O consumo de álcool e o uso de maconha estiveram estatisticamente associados com o sexo masculino, mas não com os indicadores socioeconômicos.

Religiosity as a possible protective factor against "binge drinking" among 12-year-old students: a population-based study. / Religiosidade como possível fator de proteção do "binge drinking" por escolares de 12 anos de idade: um estudo de base populacional.

Associated with positive impacts on health, religiosity has presented itself as a possible protection factor against alcohol consumption by teenagers. This study evaluated the prevalence of binge drinking and its association with religiosity among 12-year-old students, from Diamantina, State of Minas Gerais. Statistical analyses involved chi-square Pearson (p < 0,05) and Poisson regression with robust variance. The sample included a census of 588 students. Participation in religious activities was associated with no binge drinking (PR = 0,823; 95% CI: 0,717 - 0,945); and consumption of alcoholic beverages by the best friend was associated with binge drinking (PR = 1.554; 95% CI: 1,411-1,711). It was concluded that religiosity was associated with no consumption of alcoholic beverages in binge drinking sessions.

[Spatial and differential income pattern of households of adolescents and young adults who are victims of maxillofacial injuries resulting from firearm aggression]. / Padrão espacial e diferencial de renda dos domicílios de adolescentes e adultos jovens vítimas de traumatismo maxilofacial por agressão com arma de fogo.

The study investigated the spatial pattern of cases of maxillofacial injury resulting from firearm aggression among teenagers and young adults and analyzed the comparison of income differentials in these areas based on the residence of the victims. This is a cross-sectional study with data from victims attended in three hospitals in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, from January 2008 to December 2010. The addresses of the victims were georeferenced by geocoding. Randomness and point density trends were analyzed using Ripley's K function and Kernel maps. The spatial interaction between the homes of adolescents and young adults was verified through the K12 function. Records of 218 cases of assault with a male predominance (89.9%) and young adults (70.6%) were found. Household clusters were distributed on an aggregate basis in the urban space with a confidence level of 99% and similar spatial aggregation levels. The hotspots converged on 7 shantytowns or neighboring regions with higher income population revealing spread of events. Hotspots focused on slums with a history of crimes linked to drug trafficking. The incorporation of space in the dynamics of events showed that the economic condition in isolation did not limit victimization.

Religiosidade como possível fator de proteção do "binge drinking" por escolares de 12 anos de idade: um estudo de base populacional / Religiosity as a possible protective factor against "binge drinking" among 12-year-old students: a population-based study

Resumo Associada a impactos positivos sobre a saúde, a religiosidade tem se apresentado como possível fator protetor contra o consumo do álcool por adolescentes. O presente estudo buscou avaliar a prevalência do consumo em "binge" por escolares de 12 anos de Diamantina-MG e sua associação com a religiosidade. A amostra foi um censo de 588 escolares. A análise estatística envolveu o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson (p < 0,05) e Regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. A participação em atividades religiosas se manteve associada com o não consumo em "binge" (RP = 0,823; 95% IC: 0,717 - 0,945) e o consumo de bebidas pelo melhor amigo associou-se ao consumo em "binge" (RP = 1,554; 95% IC: 1,411-1,711). Concluiu-se que a religiosidade esteve associada com o não consumo em "binge".

Padrão espacial e diferencial de renda dos domicílios de adolescentes e adultos jovens vítimas de traumatismo maxilofacial por agressão com arma de fogo / Spatial and differential income pattern of households of adolescents and young adults who are victims of maxillofacial injuries resulting from firearm aggression

Resumo O estudo investigou o padrão espacial dos casos de traumatismo maxilofacial decorrentes de agressão com arma de fogo em adolescentes e adultos jovens a partir do local de domicílio das vítimas e analisou comparativamente os diferenciais de renda dessas áreas. Estudo transversal com dados de vítimas atendidas em três hospitais de Belo Horizonte-MG, entre janeiro de 2008 e dezembro de 2010. Endereços foram georeferenciados por geocodificação. Tendências de aleatoriedade e densidade de pontos foram analisadas por Função K de Ripley e mapas de Kernel. A interação espacial entre os domicílios de adolescentes e adultos jovens foi verificada através da Função K12. Encontrouse registros de 218 casos de agressão com arma de fogo, com predomínio do sexo masculino (89,9%) e adultos jovens (70,6%). Os domicílios se distribuíram de forma agregada no espaço urbano com nível de confiança de 99% e níveis de agregação espacial semelhantes. Os clusters de domicílios convergiram para 7 favelas ou regiões vizinhas com população de maior renda revelando propagação de eventos. Os hotspots se concentraram em favelas com histórico de crimes ligados ao narcotráfico. A incorporação do espaço na dinâmica dos eventos mostrou que a condição econômica isoladamente não limitou a vitimização.

Alcohol intake among adolescent students and association with social capital and socioeconomic status.

The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of alcohol consumption, binge drinking and their association with social capital and socioeconomic factors among Brazilian adolescents students. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a randomly selected representative sample of 936 adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. Information on alcohol consumption, social capital and socioeconomic status was collected using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the Integrated Questionnaire for the Measurement of Social Capital and Social Vulnerability Index, respectively. The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 50.3% and binge drinking 36% the last year. Adolescents who reported believing that people in their community could help solve a collective problem (with the water supply) and those classified as having high social vulnerability had lower likelihood of binge drinking (PR = 0.776 [95%CI:0.620 to 0.971] and PR = 0.660 [95%CI:0.542 to 0.803], respectively). The prevalence of alcohol consumption and binge drinking the last year is high among participants. Those with higher socioeconomic status as well as lower perceptions of community capital social are more likely to display binge-drinking behavior.

Resumo O objetivo foi avaliar prevalência do consumo de bebida alcoólica e associação com o capital social e fatores socioeconômicos em estudantes adolescentes. Estudo transversal realizado com amostra representativa aleatória de 936 adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos. Informações sobre o consumo de álcool no último ano, capital social e condição socioeconômica foram levantadas utilizando-se o Teste de Triagem para Abordar Problemas Relacionados com Álcool (AUDIT), Questionário Integrado para Medir Capital Social e Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social, respectivamente. Prevalência de consumo de bebida alcoólica foi de 50,3% e consumo abusivo de álcool 36,0%, no último ano. Os adolescentes que relataram acreditar que as pessoas em sua comunidade possam ajudar a resolver problemas coletivos (como o abastecimento de água) e os classificados como pertencentes ao grupo de alta vulnerabilidade social apresentaram menor probabilidade de consumo abusivo de álcool (RP = [IC95%:0,620-0,971] 0,776 e PR = [IC95%:0,542-,803] 0,660). As prevalências de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e consumo abusivo de álcool no último ano foram altas. Adolescentes com melhor condição socioeconômica e menor percepção do capital social foram mais propensos a apresentar um comportamento de consumo abusivo de bebidas alcoólicas.

Traumatic dental injuries in Brazilian children and oral health-related quality of life.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Population-based studies that investigate the impact of TDI on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among school children and its association with socioeconomic factors are scarce and offer conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of TDI on OHRQoL among school children and its association with socioeconomic status. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 588 12-year-old children enrolled in public and private schools in the urban areas in the city of Diamantina (southeastern Brazil). Clinical examinations were performed for the diagnosis of traumatic dental injury based on Andreasen's classification. The Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14 ), which has been validated for the population in Brazil, was employed to evaluate oral health-related quality of life. Socioeconomic status and overjet were also analyzed. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square test and logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 29.4% of the students exhibited some type of trauma to at least one tooth. A negative impact on oral health-related quality of life was found in 53.1% of the sample. Traumatic dental injury was associated with a high impact on oral health-related quality of life [OR = 1.61 (95% CI: 1.08-2.39)] and overjet >3 mm [OR = 5.42 (95% CI: 3.66-8.02)].

Correlates of binge drinking among Brazilian adolescents / Correlações do binge drinking entre adolescentes brasileiros

Abstract Adolescence is a vulnerable period for risk-taking tendencies, including binge drinking. The aim of this study was to examined the prevalence of binge drinking and its association with factors related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages by best friend, familial factors, socioeconomic status and religiosity. A Census of 633 students from public and private schools in Diamantina-MG was conducted. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-C (AUDIT-C) and, another on the consumption of alcohol by family and friends. Surveys inquiring about socioeconomic conditions were sent to parents/guardians. Descriptive and bivariate analyzes were performed (p < 0.05). The log-binomial model was used to calculate PR and 95% CI. The prevalence of binge drinking was 23.1%. The average age of onset of alcohol consumption was 10,8 years. Binge drinking was more prevalent among adolescents whose best friend [OR = 4.72 (95% CI 2.78-8.03)] and brother [PR = 1.46 (95% CI 1.10-1.92)] drink alcohol. Religiosity [PR = 0.40 (95% CI 0.27-0.62)] appeared as a possible protective factor. Our findings indicate that peer effects are important determinants of drinking and could be utilized as a potential target for interventions to reduce alcohol consumption rates.

Resumo A adolescência é um período vulnerável da tendência em assumir riscos, incluindo consumo excessivo de álcool. Avaliou-se a prevalência de "binge drinking" e sua associação com o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas pelo melhor amigo, fatores familiares, condição socioeconômica e religiosidade. Foi conduzido um censo de 633 alunos de escolas públicas e privadas em Diamantina-MG. Os participantes preencheram o Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-C (AUDIT-C) e um questionário sobre o consumo de álcool por familiares e amigos. Questionários com perguntas sobre condições socioeconômicas foram enviados aos pais/responsáveis. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e bivariadas (p < 0,05). O modelo log-binomial foi usado para calcular RP e 95% IC. A prevalência de consumo excessivo de álcool foi de 23,1%. A idade média de início do consumo de álcool foi de 10,8 anos. O "binge drinking" foi mais prevalente entre adolescentes cujo melhor amigo [OR = 4,72 (95% IC 2,78-8,03)] e irmão [RP = 01.46 (IC 95% 1,10-1,92)] consumiam álcool. A religiosidade [RP = 0,40 (IC 95% 0,27-0,62)] apareceu como um possível fator de proteção. Os efeitos de pares são importantes determinantes do consumo de álcool e poderiam ser utilizados como um alvo potencial em intervenções para reduzir as taxas deste.

New evidence about the "dark side" of social cohesion in promoting binge drinking among adolescents.

Adolescence is characterized by heightened susceptibility to peer influence, which makes adolescents vulnerable to initiating or maintaining risky habits such as heavy drinking. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of social capital with longitudinal changes in the frequency of binge drinking among adolescents at public and private high schools in the city of Diamantina, Brazil. This longitudinal study used two waves of data collected when the adolescents were 12 and 13 years old. At the baseline assessment in 2013 a classroom survey was carried out with a representative sample of 588 students. In 2014, a follow-up survey was carried out with the same adolescents when they were aged 13 years. The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-C (AUDIT C) was employed for the evaluation of alcohol intake. Our predictor variables included sociodemographic and economic characteristics (gender, type of school, mother's education, family income) and Social Capital. For evaluation of social capital, we used the Social Capital Questionnaire for Adolescent Students (SCQ-AS). Descriptive and bivariate analyzes were performed (p <0.05). The log-binomial model was used to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals. The two-tailed p value was set at <0.05. The prevalence of binge drinking in 2013 was 23.1% and in 2014 the prevalence had risen to 30.1%. Gender (PR 1.48; 95% CI 0.87-2.52) and socioeconomic status (type of school and mother's education) were not associated with the increase in the frequency of binge drinking. However, higher social capital was significantly associated with an increase in binge drinking by students. Adolescents who reported that they had an increase in social cohesion in the community/neighborhood subscale were 3.4 times more likely (95%CI 1.96-6.10) to binge drink themselves. Our results provide new evidence about the "dark side" of social cohesion in promoting binge drinking among adolescents.

Consumo de drogas ilícitas como fator de risco para traumatismo dentário em adolescentes / Illicit drugs use as risk factor of dental trauma among adolescents

Resumo Traumatismo dentário e consumo de drogas ilícitas podem comprometer gravemente a saúde dos adolescentes e são considerados sérios problemas de saúde pública. Objetivo Investigar a associação do traumatismo dentário com o uso de drogas ilícitas e condição socioeconômica entre adolescentes de 12 anos de idade. Métodos Estudo transversal envolvendo 633 adolescentes de escolas públicas e privadas da cidade de Diamantina, no Estado de Minas Gerais. Os dados foram coletados por meio de exame clínico e questionários. Traumatismo dentário foi avaliado pela classificação de Andreasen, e consumo de drogas ilícitas, pelo instrumento ASSIST (Teste para Triagem do Envolvimento com Álcool, Cigarro e Outras Substâncias).
