Study of Health in Pomerode (SHIP-Brazil): aims, methodological issues and descriptive results / Estudo Vida e Saúde em Pomerode (SHIP-Brazil): objetivos, aspectos metodológicos e resultados descritivos

Background Few studies compared populations with similar genetic and culture background on different continents with standardized methods. Objective To describe methodological issues of the Study of Health in Pomerode - SHIP-Brazil and some characteristics of the participants of the baseline examination. Design and Setting Prospective, population-based cohort study of a representative sample of residents (aged 20 to 79 years) of Pomerode, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Methods Data for the baseline survey (from 2014 to 2018) were collected through interviews and medical examinations, including socio-demographic and lifestyle information, clinical and subclinical conditions, oral and mental health, among others. Biosamples (blood, urine, stool, and saliva) were collected and stored. Methods of data collection and quality control are described. Preliminary descriptive statistics were performed. Results The response rate was 67.6% (n=2,488 individuals). The Kappa test-retest of some variables varied from 0.54 to 1.0. German culture participants are older (46.5 vs 38.7 years), self-declared white (97.3% vs 82.1%), more frequently never smokers (71.4% vs 66.9%) but had higher risk of consuming alcohol (16.9% vs 13.4%) compared to participants with non-German background. Germans were taller (169 cm vs 166 cm), had greater abdominal circumference among men (101.9 cm vs 97.3 cm). Furthermore, they reported more multimorbidity (56.7% vs 43.6%) , had more arterial hypertension (30.7% vs 18.5%), but less depression (15.4% vs 19,1%) than non-Germans. Conclusions The interaction of genetic and social/environmental issues should be examined to understand the role of risk factors on clinical conditions observed.

Objetivos Descrever questões metodológicas do estudo de "Vida e Saúde em Pomerode - SHIP-Brazil" e algumas características dos participantes do exame inicial do estudo. Desenho de estudo e local Estudo de coorte prospectivo de base populacional em amostra representativa de moradores (20 a 79 anos) de Pomerode, Santa Catarina. Métodos As informações para a linha de base (de 2014 a 2018) foram coletadas por meio de entrevistas e exames médicos, incluindo dados sociodemográficos, de estilo de vida, condições clínicas e subclínicas, saúde bucal e mental, entre outros. Amostras biológicas (sangue, urina, fezes e saliva) foram coletadas e armazenadas. A coleta de dados e o controle de qualidade foram descritos. Foram realizadas análises descritivas preliminares. Resultados A taxa de resposta foi de 67,6% (n=2.488 indivíduos). O Kappa teste-reteste de algumas variáveis variou  de 0,54 a 1,0. Os participantes de cultura alemã são mais velhos (46,5 vs 38,7 anos ), autodeclarados brancos (97,3% vs 82,1%), com menor número de fumantes (71,4% vs 66,9%), mas tiveram maior risco de consumir álcool (16,9% vs 13,4%), eram mais altos (169 cm vs 166 cm), tinham maior circunferência abdominal entre os homens (101,9 cm vs 97,3 cm) em comparação com participantes "não-alemães". Pessoas de cultura alemã relataram mais multimorbidade (56,7% vs 43,6%), apresentavam mais hipertensão arterial (30,7% vs 18,5%), mas menos depressão (15,4% vs 19,1%). Conclusões A interação genética e social/ambiental devem ser examinadas para melhor entender o papel desses fatores de risco nas condições clínicas observadas.

Factors affecting successful antituberculosis treatment: a single-center experience.

OBJECTIVE: The identification of factors that influence a favorable antituberculosis treatment outcome could be of great use for the promotion of specific health actions to increase the success rate. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the factors affecting successful antituberculosis treatment in patients seen at a reference service in the Western region of São Paulo State/Brazil. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out from 2010 to 2016 based on the data obtained from the Notification Disease Information System of TB patients treated at a reference service in Brazil. The study included patients with treatment outcomes and excluded those from the penitentiary system or with resistant or multidrug-resistant TB. Patients were categorized as having a successful (cured) or unsuccessful (treatment default and death) treatment outcome. The association between TB treatment outcomes and social and clinical factors was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 356 cases of TB were treated between 2010 and 2016. Among the cases, the majority were cured and the overall treatment success rate was 85.96%, with a range between 80.33% (2010) and 97.65% (2016). After the exclusion of resistant/multidrug-resistant TB, 348 patients were analyzed. In the final logistic regression model analysis, education less than 8 years (OR 1.66; p<0.0001) and people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (OR 0.23; p<0.0046) were found to be significantly related to an unfavorable treatment outcome. CONCLUSION: Low education and being a person living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are vulnerability factors that can affect the successful outcome of antituberculosis treatment.

Influence of anti-allergic drugs used systemically on the process of root resorption during delayed tooth replantation: A study in rats.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Anti-allergic drugs can inhibit the hard tissue resorption process, and due to similarities between root resorption and bone mechanisms, it can be inferred that these drugs may also control root resorption. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of anti-allergic drugs used systemically on the process of root resorption following delayed tooth replantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-two maxillary right incisors of rats were extracted and subsequently replanted. Rats were divided into four groups according to the anti-allergic drug administered: the rats in groups DEX, Q, and MO were treated systemically with dexamethasone phosphate, quercetin, and montelukast, respectively, and no systemic medication was administered to rats in group C. After 60 days, the animals were euthanized, and the specimens were processed for histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of inflammatory resorption, replacement resorption, or presence of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. In terms of events occurring in the periodontal ligament space, there was a difference between groups Q and MO due to the presence of dental ankylosis and inflammatory connective tissue (P < .05). A difference in inflammatory cells was also observed through CD45 immunolabeling between the DEX and Q groups when compared to the C group (P < .05). CONCLUSION: The systemic administration of anti-allergic drugs did not have an effect on the process of root resorption following delayed tooth replantation.

Oral conditions and the impact on quality of life of morbidly obese and bariatric patients / Condições bucais e o impacto na qualidade de vida de pacientes obesos mórbidos e bariátricos

ABSTRACT Objective The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries, periodontal disease and edentulism in morbidly obese and bariatric patients, and to verify the oral health impact on quality of life. Methods We evaluated 33 morbidly obese patients (G1) and 50 patients submitted to bariatric surgery (G2). The DMFT, CPI, prosthetic status and prosthetic need for edentulism were used to analyze oral conditions. The impact of oral health on quality of life was assessed using the OIDP questionnaire. Results CPOD were G1: 9.0±7.0 and G2: 13.3±8.0 (p= 0.020). The dental calculus was the worst periodontal condition G1: 72.7% and G2: 80.0% (p= 0.752). The majority of G1 and G2 patients did not use (p = 0.878) and did not need (p= 0.132) dental prosthesis. The mean of OIDP was G1: 11.2±23.8 and G2: 14.16±23.8 (p= 0.089). Conclusion It concluded that bariatric patients have a higher prevalence of dental caries and the need for dental prostheses is related to the impact of oral health on the quality of life of obese patients.

Métodos Avaliou-se 33 pacientes obesos mórbidos (G1) e 50 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica (G2). Os índices CPOD, IPC, uso e necessidade de prótese foram utilizados para analisar as condições bucais. O impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida foi avaliado através do questionário OIDP. Resultados CPOD foi G1:9,0±7,0 e G2:13,3±8,0 (p=0,020). O cálculo dentário foi a pior condição periodontal G1:72,7% e G2:80.,0% (p=0,752). A maioria dos pacientes do G1 e G2 não usavam (p=0,878) e não necessitavam (p=0,132) de prótese dentária. A média do OIDP foi G1:11,2±23,8 e G2:14,16±23,8 (p=0,089). Conclusão Conclui-se que os pacientes bariátricos apresentam maior prevalência de cárie dentária e a necessidade de prótese dentária está relacionada com impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida dos pacientes obesos.

Probiotic Administration Increases Mandibular Bone Mineral Density on Rats Exposed to Cigarette Smoke Inhalation.

Smoking is one of the main risk factor for periodontal disease, increasing its prevalence and severity. Probiotics emerged as an alternative for the prevention and treatment of many diseases, since it can modulate the host immune response and modify the modify the microbiome. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of probiotic administration on the periodontal tissues in rats exposed to cigarette smoke inhalation (CSI). Forty rats were allocated into the following groups (n=10): group C (control, without CSI and probiotic); group PROB (control+probiotic); group CSI (CSI) and group CSI+PROB (CSI+probiotic). Groups PROB and CSI+PROB received 2g of an association of probiotic microorganisms incorporated into the feed during 6 months. Groups CSI and CSI+PROB were exposed to CSI for 60 min daily. After six months all the animals were euthanized and the hemi-mandibles were collected and processed for microcomputed tomography analyses. Regarding the body weight of the animals, feed consumption was similar among the groups, however, after the second month groups C and PROB showed higher body weight gain when compared to groups CSI and CSI+PROB (p<0.05). Group CSI presented reduced bone mineral density (BMD), whereas group PROB showed the highest values (p=0.01). It can be concluded that administration of probiotics promoted an increase in BMD and, consequently, a protective effect on the mandibular bone structures in rats exposed to inhalation of cigarette smoke.

Resumo O tabagismo é um dos principais fatores de risco para a doença periodontal, aumentando sua prevalência e gravidade. Os probióticos surgiram como uma alternativa para a prevenção e tratamento de muitas doenças, uma vez que podem modular a resposta imune do hospedeiro e promover a modificação do microbioma. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da administração de probiótico sobre os tecidos periodontais em ratos expostos à inalação de fumaça de cigarro (CSI). Quarenta ratos foram divididos nos seguintes grupos (n=10): grupo C (controle, sem CSI e probiótico); grupo PROB (controle+probiótico); grupo CSI (CSI) e grupo CSI+PROB (CSI+probiótico). Os grupos PROB e CSI+PROB receberam 2g de uma associação de microrganismos probióticos incorporados à ração durante 6 meses. Os grupos CSI e CSI + PROB foram expostos à CSI por 60 minutos diários. Após seis meses, todos os animais foram eutanasiados e as hemi mandíbulas coletadas e processadas para análises de microtomografia computadorizada. Em relação ao peso corporal dos animais, o consumo de ração foi semelhante entre os grupos, porém, após o segundo mês os grupos C e PROB apresentaram maior ganho de peso quando comparados aos grupos CSI e CSI+PROB (p <0,05). O grupo CSI apresentou redução na densidade mineral óssea (DMO), enquanto que o grupo PROB apresentou os maiores valores (p=0,01). Pode-se concluir que a administração de probióticos promoveu aumento da DMO e, consequentemente, efeito protetor sobre as estruturas ósseas mandibulares em ratos expostos à inalação de fumaça de cigarro.

Dental caries among preschool children: effects of social inequality and the impact of a university extension project / Cárie-dentária em pré-escolares: efeitos das desigualdades sociais e impactos de projeto de extensão universitária

ABSTRACT Objective The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of dental caries among preschoolers at public and private schools and to evaluate the associations among the prevalence of the disease, socioeconomic factors, and the impact of a university extension project. Methods Five-year-old preschool children were examined and were divided into three groups: children from private schools who were not receiving regular preventive care (group 1), children from public schools who were not receiving regular preventive care (group 2), children from public schools who were receiving preventive care through a university extension project (group 3). The children were examined for decay-missing-filled index, and their caregivers were interviewed to collect data on socioeconomic factors. Fisher's and Chi-squared tests were used to analyze the data. Results Group 1 showed better socioeconomic and oral conditions compared with groups 2 and 3. Parents'/guardians' level of education was associated with the presence of disease in their children; however, income showed no association. Conclusion Dental caries were more prevalent in the group with worse socioeconomic indicators, and although the university extension project had been implemented in one of the groups, it was not able to overcome health inequalities.

RESUMO Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a prevalência da cárie dentária em pré-escolares de escola pública e privada, avaliando sua associação a fatores socioeconômicos e impactos projeto de extensão universitária. Métodos Foram examinados pré-escolares de 5 anos, alocados em 3 grupos: G1 - crianças de colégio privado, sem projeto preventivo em saúde bucal; G2 - crianças de ensino público também sem cuidados preventivos regulares; G3 - pré-escolares de ensino público que recebem cuidados preventivos através de projeto de extensão universitária. As crianças foram examinadas para aferição do índice ceo-d e seus responsáveis foram entrevistados para verificação de fatores socioeconômicos. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o teste de Fisher e o teste Qui-quadrado Resultados A escola referente ao G1 mostrou melhores condições socioeconômicas e bucais, comparada com os grupos G2 e G3. A escolaridade dos pais esteve associada à presença de doença nos filhos, porém, a renda não demonstrou associação. Conclusão A cárie dentária foi mais prevalente no grupo com piores indicadores socioeconômicos, e apesar do projeto de extensão universitária em saúde bucal estar presente em uma das situações ele não foi capaz de superar as desigualdades em saúde.

Profundidade do sulco gengival em pacientes de faixa etária de 18-25 anos / Depth of gingival sulcus in patients aged between 18 to 25 years

Gingival probing performed in periodontal normal condition brings important results for the definition of health and diseases of the periodontal tissues. The aim was to evaluate the depth probing of the gingival sulcus in permanent dentition of young adults. It was carried out a transversal study with 120 volunteers aged 18 to 25 years and with healthy gum. It was used a manual periodontal probe Williams model. The evaluation was performed on all four sides, with a total of four measurements per tooth. The collected data were first tabulated and submitted to Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's post test.The mean and standard deviation of the upper teeth were: incisor (1.1343 ± 0.33665); canine (1.1819 ± 0.369); premolar ratio (1.3677 ± 0.3752); molar(1.8030 ± 0.4116). The mean of the lower teeth was: incisor (1.1260 ± 0.3272); canine (1.2106 ± 0.3390); premolar ratio (1.4580 ± 0.3778); molar (1.9068 ± 0.4497).It concludes that the average depth of the gingival sulcus, between the group of teeth was higher in the lower arch relative to the upper; except for faces: incisive distal, buccal molar and the lingual incisor and canine; in which the result related to the average depth is less than the upper arch. (AU)

A sondagem gengival realizada em condições periodontais normais traz importantes resultados para a definição de saúde e doenças dos tecidos periodontais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a profundidade clínica do sulco gengival em uma dentição jovem. Um estudo transversal foi realizado com 120 voluntários entre 18 e 25 anos com gengiva saudável. Um modelo de Williams de sonda periodontal manual foi utilizado. A avaliação foi realizada nos quatro lados, com um total de quatro medidas por dente. Os dados coletados foram tabulados e submetidos ao teste de KruskalWallis com pós-teste de Dunn. A média e o desvio padrão dos dentes superiores foram: incisivo (1,1343 ± 0,33665); canino (1,1819 ± 0,369); pré molar (1,3677 ± 0,3752); molar (1,8030 ± 0,4116). A média dos dentes inferiores foi: incisivo (1,1260 ± 0,3272); canino (1,2106 ± 0,3390); pré-molar (1,4580 ± 0,3778); molar (1,9068 ± 0,4497). Concluise que a profundidade média do sulco gengival, entre o grupo de dentes, foi maior no arco inferior em relação ao superior; exceto por faces: incisiva distal, molar vestibular e incisivo lingual e canino; em que o resultado relacionado à profundidade média é menor que o arco superior (AU)

Avaliação da síndrome de Burnout em professores universitários / Assessment of Burnout syndrome in university teachers

A profissão docente é considerada pela Organização Internacional do Trabalho como uma das mais estressantes, por ser uma atividade que envolve intenso contato entre pessoas. Com isso, a incidência de elementos que conduzem à síndrome de Burnout está cada vez mais evidente nestes indivíduos. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a síndrome de Burnout entre os professores da graduação dos cursos da área da saúde. Foram convidados a participar da pesquisa docentes dos cursos da área da saúde da Universidade do Oeste Paulista, em Presidente Prudente. Após a assinatura do termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido, foram aplicados dois instrumentos para coleta de dados. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados com o auxílio de programas estatísticos e foi utilizado o teste de correlação de Pearson ao nível de significância de 5%. Foram entrevistados 72 docentes, sendo quedestes, 48 (66,7%) são do sexo masculino e 24 (33,3%) são do sexo feminino. De acordo com as dimensões da síndrome de Burnout, a que mais se destacou foi a exaustão emocional. As variáveis que demostraram significância na correlação de Pearson foram: a quantidade de cursos que o docente leciona (p=0,0012) e a quantidade de alunos com quem tem contato diariamente (p=0,0463) dentro da dimensão de exaustão emocional; e a idade (p=0,0319) e tempo de trabalho (p=0,0082) dentro da dimensão da eficácia profissional. Os resultados identificaram um baixo índice em todas as dimensões, porém houve associação significativa entre as dimensões de exaustão emocional e eficácia profissional com as variáveis sociodemográficas (AU).

The teaching profession is considered by the International Labour Organization (ILO) as one of the most stressful as it is an activity that involves intense contact between people. Thus, an incidence of elements that lead to burnout syndrome is increasingly evident in these professionals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the burnout syndrome among professors of undergraduate health courses. The teachers at health courses at University of Western Sao Paulo were invited to enroll the research. After they given the written informed consent, it was applied two instruments to data collect. The data were analyzed on a statistical software with Pearson's correlation at 5% significance level. It was interviewed 72 professors, of whom 48 (66,7%) were male, and 24 (33,3%) were female. According to the dimensions of Burnout Syndrome, the most outstanding was Emotional Exhaustion. The variables that showed significance in the Pearson's correlation were: the number of courses the professors teach (p = 0.0012) and the number of students with whom they have daily contact (p = 0.0463) within the emotional exhaustion dimension; and age (p = 0.0319) and working time (p = 0.0082) within the dimension of Professional Effectiveness. Results identified a low index in all dimensions, but there was a statistical association between the dimensions of emotional exhaustion and professional efficacy with the sociodemographic variables (AU).

Elderly caregivers at long-stay institutions: quality of life and temporomandibular dysfunction

Abstract Aim: To assess the profile, quality of life and the presence of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in elderly caregivers. Methods: Thirty-nine caregivers who worked in six long-stay institutions for the elderly in three different municipalities participated in the study. The research instruments were the WHOQOL-BREF, the Fonseca questionnaire and the socio-demographic questionnaire. The Kruskal-Wallis test with the Dunn's correction was performed at a level of 5%. Results: Females accounted for 94.9% of the sample. The average monthly wage was R$ 832.00. The average working week was 39 hours. The WHOQOL dominions showed the following averages: 74.25 Physical; 70.33 Psychological; 65.79 Social Affairs; 58.38 Environment. Mild DTM was present in 43.6% of the caregivers, of which 7.7% were moderate, 5.2% severe, 23.0% of the professionals were asymptomatic and 20.5% did not answer. The association between TMD and the quality of life showed p=0.6752. Conclusions: It was concluded that there was no relationship between the quality of life and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction among the caregivers of elderly in this study.

Oral impacts on the daily performance of Brazilians assessed using a sociodental approach: analyses of national data.

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between oral diseases and their impact on the daily performance of adult and elderly Brazilians, verify the association of oral diseases with socioeconomic and demographic features, and compare the standard estimate of need with the sociodental assessment of these same needs. The authors evaluated data from 17,398 Brazilians aged between 35-44 years and 65-74 years, taken from the cross-sectional Brazilian Oral Health Survey (Saúde Bucal Brasil - SBBrasil). Regression models were applied to assess associations among impacts on daily performance and income, schooling, gender, region, use of dental services, health perception and dental disease status. McNemar's test was applied to compare standard versus impact-related estimates of need. The prevalence ratio of these impacts was associated with the sociodemographic versus health perceptions (p < 0.001) of adults and the elderly. Adults also had impacts associated with loss of periodontal attachment (p < 0.001). The prevalence of normative needs was 95.39% for adults and 99.76% for the elderly, whereas the impact-related estimate of need was 50.92% and 43.71%, respectively. The impacted-related approach had a statistically significant association with the normative estimate of need (p < 0.001). This study showed a relationship between oral impact on daily performance of adults and educational level. Sociodemographic features were also related to the impacts on both adults and the elderly, and to health perception. The impacts among the adults were related to the loss of periodontal attachment. In addition, the authors found a sizable difference between the standard versus the sociodental approach, in that the sociodental assessment needs were lower than the needs identified by the standard estimate of need.

Condição periodontal, perda dentária e diferenças socioeconômicas em adultos e idosos brasileiros / Periodontal condition, tooth loss and socioeconomic differences in Brazilian adults and elderly

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as correlações da doença periodontal, perda dentária e edentulismo com fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos, necessidades e uso dos serviços de saúde bem como o impacto dessas correlações na saúde bucal de adultos e idosos brasileiros e comparar a estimativa padrão de necessidades com a abordagem sócio-odontológica. Os dados utilizados foram obtidos da pesquisa epidemiológica conduzida em 2010 pelo ministério da saúde chamada "SBBrasil 2010". A amostra foi composta de 9779 pessoas entre 35-44 anos e 7619 idosos entre 65-74 anos. Os desfechos em saúde bucal foram: sangramento pós sondagem e/ou cálculo dentário, perda de inserção periodontal, perda dentária e edentulismo. Nível de escolaridade e renda foram utilizados como indicadores socioeconômicos. Gênero, etnia, região de residência, uso de serviços odontológicos, impacto dos dentes nas atividades diárias e outras variáveis foram adicionadas aos modelos para ajustar a análise. Regressão de Poisson foi realizada para verificar as disparidades socioeconômicas e demográficas em saúde bucal com relação aos determinantes proximais e distais disponíveis no banco de dados. O teste de McNemar foi utilizado para comparar as estimativas padrão de necessidade e o respectivo impacto relacionado. Os resultados mostraram associação (p<0.05) entre aspectos socioeconômicos e demográficos e as variáveis de saúde bucal. Pessoas que declararam até 8 anos de educação formal demonstraram maior prevalência em todas as doenças bucais estudadas. Da mesma forma, adultos que declaram renda de até 500 reais, tiveram maior prevalência em três das quatro doenças estudadas. Etnia esteve associada a sangramento pós sondagem e/ou cálculo dentário (PR=1.19) e perda dentária (PR=1.45) entre adultos que declararam-se pardos. Ter realizado consulta odontológica no serviço público agiu como fator de proteção para edentulismo (PR=0.68) no grupo de 35-44 anos. Todas as variáveis desfecho mostraram...

The aim of this study was to verify the correlations of periodontal disease, tooth loss and edentulousness with socioeconomic and demographic factors, health needs and health services as well as the impact of these correlations on oral health among Brazilian adults and elderly and compare the standard estimate of need with a sociodental assessment. The data originated from a national epidemiological survey on oral health conducted in 2010 by the Brazilian Health Ministry ("SBBrasil 2010"). The sample comprised 9779 people between 35-44 years old and 7619 elderly between 65-74 years old. The oral health outcomes were as follows: bleeding on probing and/or dental calculus, periodontal loss of attachment, tooth loss and edentulousness. Education level and declared income were used as indicators of socioeconomic status. Gender, ethnicity, region of residence, use of dental care, impact of teeth in daily activities, and other variables were added to the models to adjust the regression analysis. Poisson regression was performed to verify the socioeconomic and demographic disparities in oral health with regard to the proximal and distal determinants of health available in the data set. McNemar’s test was applied to compare standard estimates of need and the respective impact-related. The results showed associations (p<0.05) between socioeconomic and demographic aspects and all oral health variables. People who had up to 8 years of formal education had increased the prevalence to develop any of the oral diseases on this study. As much as adults whom declared income up to 500 BRL, that had increased the prevalence to develop three of the four studied conditions. Ethnicity had association with bleeding on probing/or dental calculus (PR=1.19) and tooth loss (PR=1.45) between adults who declared themselves as brown. Having a consultation performed at a public health clinic was a protective factor for edentulousness (PR=0.68) among the group with 35- 44 years old...

Oral impacts on the daily performance of Brazilians assessed using a sociodental approach: analyses of national data

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between oral diseases and their impact on the daily performance of adult and elderly Brazilians, verify the association of oral diseases with socioeconomic and demographic features, and compare the standard estimate of need with the sociodental assessment of these same needs. The authors evaluated data from 17,398 Brazilians aged between 35-44 years and 65-74 years, taken from the cross-sectional Brazilian Oral Health Survey (Saúde Bucal Brasil - SBBrasil). Regression models were applied to assess associations among impacts on daily performance and income, schooling, gender, region, use of dental services, health perception and dental disease status. McNemar’s test was applied to compare standard versus impact-related estimates of need. The prevalence ratio of these impacts was associated with the sociodemographic versus health perceptions (p < 0.001) of adults and the elderly. Adults also had impacts associated with loss of periodontal attachment (p < 0.001). The prevalence of normative needs was 95.39% for adults and 99.76% for the elderly, whereas the impact-related estimate of need was 50.92% and 43.71%, respectively. The impacted-related approach had a statistically significant association with the normative estimate of need (p < 0.001). This study showed a relationship between oral impact on daily performance of adults and educational level. Sociodemographic features were also related to the impacts on both adults and the elderly, and to health perception. The impacts among the adults were related to the loss of periodontal attachment. In addition, the authors found a sizable difference between the standard versus the sociodental approach, in that the sociodental assessment needs were lower than the needs identified by the standard estimate of need.

Condição periodontal, perda dentária e diferenças socioeconômicas em adultos e idosos brasileiros / Periodontal condition, tooth loss and socioeconomic differences in Brazilian adults and elderly

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as correlações da doença periodontal, perda dentária e edentulismo com fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos, necessidades e uso dos serviços de saúde bem como o impacto dessas correlações na saúde bucal de adultos e idosos brasileiros e comparar a estimativa padrão de necessidades com a abordagem sócio-odontológica. Os dados utilizados foram obtidos da pesquisa epidemiológica conduzida em 2010 pelo ministério da saúde chamada "SBBrasil 2010". A amostra foi composta de 9779 pessoas entre 35-44 anos e 7619 idosos entre 65-74 anos. Os desfechos em saúde bucal foram: sangramento pós sondagem e/ou cálculo dentário, perda de inserção periodontal, perda dentária e edentulismo. Nível de escolaridade e renda foram utilizados como indicadores socioeconômicos. Gênero, etnia, região de residência, uso de serviços odontológicos, impacto dos dentes nas atividades diárias e outras variáveis foram adicionadas aos modelos para ajustar a análise. Regressão de Poisson foi realizada para verificar as disparidades socioeconômicas e demográficas em saúde bucal com relação aos determinantes proximais e distais disponíveis no banco de dados. O teste de McNemar foi utilizado para comparar as estimativas padrão de necessidade e o respectivo impacto relacionado. Os resultados mostraram associação (p<0.05) entre aspectos socioeconômicos e demográficos e as variáveis de saúde bucal. Pessoas que declararam até 8 anos de educação formal demonstraram maior prevalência em todas as doenças bucais estudadas. Da mesma forma, adultos que declaram renda de até 500 reais, tiveram maior prevalência em três das quatro doenças estudadas. Etnia esteve associada a sangramento pós sondagem e/ou cálculo dentário (PR=1.19) e perda dentária (PR=1.45) entre adultos que declararam-se pardos. Ter realizado consulta odontológica no serviço público agiu como fator de proteção para edentulismo (PR=0.68) no grupo de 35-44 anos. Todas as variáveis desfecho mostraram...

Caracterização da oferta do serviço de radiologia odontológica no Estado da Paraíba: evidenciando desigualdades e sub-registros / Characterization of dental radiographic service in the state of Paraíba: highlighting inequalities and sub-records

Caracterizar o serviço de radiologia odontológica no estado da Paraíba. Os dados coletados, do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde, foram: população total, população cadastrada na Atenção Básica (AB), número e distribuição de aparelhos de Raios-X Odontológico (ARXO), e produção de radiografias odontológicas. As cidades que possuíam aparelho foram agrupadas e comparadas segundo as mesorregiões paraibanas. Calculou-se para cada cidade: a razão entre população total e quantitativo de aparelhos; a razão entre população cadastrada na AB e quantitativo de aparelhos públicos; produção semestral e média mensal de produção de radiografias. Das 223 cidades da Paraíba, 21,1% possuem ARXO, sendo 356 aparelhos em uso, 77,2% privados e 66,9% concentrados na Zona da Mata. A média de pessoas para cada ARXO do Estado é 16.609, enquanto a média de usuários cadastrados na AB para cada ARXO público é 20.922. A produção semestral e média mensal de radiografias ambulatoriais são, respectivamente, 1.272 e 212. Verificou-se que 36,2% das cidades não registraram produção de radiografias durante o último semestre de 2008. O serviço ofertado concentra-se em poucas cidades, sendo, majoritariamente, de caráter privado, com alta taxa de pessoas por aparelhos e distribuição desigual. Há, provavelmente, sub-registro da produção.

To characterize the dental radiology service in Paraíba State. From Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System, data collected were: total population, population covered by Primary Care (PC), number and distribution of dental X-ray equipment (DXRE), and dental radiographs production. The cities which had the equipment were grouped and compared according to Paraíba's regions. We calculated for each city: ratio between total population and amount of equipment; ratio between population covered by PC and quantity of public equipment; biannual and the monthly averages of radiographs production. Of the 223 cities, 21.1% are equipped with DXRE, which 356 are in use, 77.2% are private, and 66.9% concentrate in Zona da Mata region. The average of person per each DXRE is 16,609, while the average of people enrolled in PC for each public DXRE is 20,922. The biannual and the monthly production of radiographs are, respectively, 1,272 and 212. We found that 36.2% of the cities reported no X-rays production during the last half of 2008. The service is concentrated in a few cities, being mostly private, with a high rate of people per equipment and inequitable distribution. Probably, there is a production underreporting.
