Oral health, impact of pain in the life and perception of users atended at Family Health Strategy of Piraí-RJ

Objective: to identify the characteristics of the demands for emergency services relatedto pain in health units in the city of Piraí, Rio de Janeiro; the degree of satisfaction andthe perceptions of users about the service provided when the need is linked toemergency situations related to dental pain. Methods: Users of public health unitsanswered, between May 2013 and November 2014, through questionnaires, dataregarding sex, age, monthly family income, economic class, experiences in emergencyservices and a McGill pain questionnaire validated for the Portuguese language. Thedata were analyzed descriptively and using the Chi-square test (p<0.05). Results: 137users were included (40.22 ± 15.74 years), 73.7% female, 59.9% from class C and 43.8%with an income between ½ and 1 minimum wage. Of the total, 54% felt some painrelated to oral problems in the last 12 months before the questionnaire and of these,71.6% were seen at the service, 58% did not find it difficult to get care, 68.9% solved theproblem and 73% were satisfied with the service provided. Only 37.2% of users did notreport social damage at work or at leisure caused by dental pain. The age group wasassociated with pain related to oral problems in the last 12 months (p=0.02) and theneed for emergency consultations in the same period (p=0.005). Conclusions: Themajority of individuals who are attended in public service being female, the economicclass and the predominant family income were, respectively, class C and of ½ to 1minimum wage; Toothache and pain when drinking cold or hot liquids were the mostcommon complaints in the last 12 months; There is an association between age andpresence of dental pain and the need for urgent treatment; and participants in thisstudy are considered to have been satisfactorily treated in most cases.

Métodos: Usuários dasunidades públicas de saúde responderam, durante maio de 2013 até novembro de 2014,através de questionários, dados referentes a sexo, idade, renda familiar mensal, classeeconômica, experiências nos serviços de emergência e um questionário McGill para dorvalidado para a língua portuguesa.

Effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the subgingival microbiota of patients with chronic kidney disease

This study investigated the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the composition of subgingival microbiota of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sixteen CKD pre-dialysis individuals (CKD) and 14 individuals without clinical evidence of kidney disease (C) presenting chronic periodontitis were treated by scaling and root planing. Subgingival samples were collected from each patient and analyzed for their composition by checkerboard at baseline and 3 months post-therapy. Significant differences between groups at baseline were sought by the Mann-Whitney and χ² tests. Changes over time were examined by the Wilcoxon test. At baseline, the CKD group had significantly lower counts of E. faecalis compared to the C group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of a greater number of species were reduced in the C group. Higher levels of A. israelii, C. rectus, F. periodonticum, P. micra, P. nigrescens, T. forsythia, N. mucosa, and S. anginosus (p < 0.05) were found in the CKD group compared to the C group. Also, non-responsive sites in CKD individuals harbored significantly higher levels of pathogenic species (T. forsythia, P. gingivalis, T. denticola, Fusobacterium spp., D. pneumosintes, E. faecalis and S. aureus; p < 0.05) than sites that responded to therapy, as well as non-responsive sites in the C group. The periodontitis-associated subgingival microbiota of CKD and systemically healthy individuals was similar in composition. However, high levels of pathogenic species persisted in the subgingival microbiota of patients with CKD after treatment.

Effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on chronic kidney disease patients.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a debilitating systemic condition. Our working hypothesis is that CKD predialysis patients with periodontitis would respond poorly to periodontal treatment owing to immunologic compromise. Twenty-one predialysis patients (group 1) and 19 individuals without clinical evidence of kidney disease (group 2) with chronic periodontitis were subjected to non-surgical periodontal treatment with no antibiotics. Clinical periodontal and systemic parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months after treatment. Both groups showed significant and similar post-treatment improvements in all periodontal parameters examined. Most interestingly, periodontal treatment had a statistically significant positive effect on the glomerular filtration rate of each individual (group 1, p = 0.04; group 2, p = 0.002). Our results indicate that chronic periodontitis in predialysis kidney disease patients improved similarly in patients with chronic periodontitis and no history of CKD after receiving non-surgical periodontal therapy. This study demonstrates that CKD predialysis patients show a good response to non-surgical periodontal treatment.

Manifestações bucais e doença renal crônica: revisão de literatura / Oral findings and chronic renal failure: literature review

Este artigo é uma revisão da literatura sobre as manifestações bucais com Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) enfatizando uma possível associação entre DRC e Doença Periodontal. Esta associação tem sido apresentada em estudos mais recentes e com metodologias mais adequadas. Algumas sugestões de mecanismos biológicos para tal associação também são exploradas.

Determinaçäo de anticorpos no soro para microorganismos da microbiota subgengival de indivíduos com periodontite / Detection os systemic antibodies to microorganisms of the subgingival microflora in individuals with periodontitis

O presente estudo apresentou como objetivo avaliar o efeito longitudinal do tratamento periodontal nos níveis de anticorpos sistêmicos específicos para 13 patógenos periodontais em indivíduos brasileiros com Periodontite de Adulto, que nunca tiveram acesso à terapia periodontal. Um total de 31 indivíduos participaram de estudo, 17 indivíduos no grupo teste (42,4ñ4,32 anos) e 14 no grupo controle (34,8ñ4,8). Os parâmetros clínicos avaliados em 6 sítios por dente foram: placa, sangramento à sondagem; supuraçäo; profundidade de bolsa (mm) e nível de inserçäo (mm). Os níveis de anticorpos foram medidos através da técnica de ELISA (Enzyne Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay), enquanto que a quantificaçäo dos microorganismos utilizou a técnica de sonda de DNA (Checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization). Os indivíduos do grupo teste receberam tratamento periodontal de raspagem e alisamento radicular, e instruçöes de higiene oral, e foram monitorados por 3, 6 e 9 meses. No baseline: os níveis de anticorpos em indivíduos com Periodontite de Adulto (Periodontite Crônica) estavam significativamente elevados para Eucobacterium nodatum e Porphyromonas gingivalis, em relaçäo ao grupo controle (p<0,05). Os níveis bacterianos médios nestes indivíduos se apresentaram significativamente maiores para Bacyeroides forsythus, Campylobacter rectus, Porphyromonas gingivalis Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens e Treponema denticola, em relaçäo ao grupo controle (p<0,05). Os níveis de anticorpos para Eurobacterium nodatum foram significativamente correlacionados com profundidade de bolsa e nível de inserçäo (p<0,05), e os níveis de anticorpos para Porphyromonas gingivalis foram significativamente correlacionados com nível de inserçäo (p<0,05). Os níveis bacterianos de Porphyromonas gingivalis foram significativamente correlacionados com sangramento à sondagem (p<0,05). Após a terapia periodontal, os níveis médios de anticorpos em indivíduos com Periodontite do Adulto (Periodontite Crônica), se apresentaram significativamente diminuídos para Campylobacter rectus, Eikenella corrodens, Eucobacterium nodatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Peptostreptococcus micros e Treponema denticola, considerando diferentes intervalos (p<0,05). Os indivíduos com Periodontite do Adulto (Periodontite Crônica), apresentaram seus níveis de anticorpos Bacteroides forsythus positivamente correlacionados com nível de inserçäo (p<0,05)...
