Conhecimento dos cirurgiões dentistas da Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre anomalias craniofaciais: fase de análise do modelo ADDIE / Knowledge of dental surgeons of primary health care about craniofacial anomalies: phase of analysis of the ADDIE model

Objetivou-se fazer uma análise do conhecimento e dificuldades dos cirurgiões dentistas (CD) da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) no atendimento a pacientes com anomalias craniofaciais como etapa preliminar no planejamento de estratégia educacional. Esse nível da atenção é fundamental para manutenção da saúde bucal. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, com participação de sete CD de um Distrito Sanitário (DS) no município do Recife, selecionados por conveniência. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, utilizando-se um roteiro com perguntas disparadoras, que foram gravadas em um aparelho de áudio, fielmente transcritas e submetidas à técnica de Análise Temática de conteúdo. Foram apontadas a falta de conhecimento sobre anomalias craniofaciais pelo CD e a falta de segurança em possíveis atendimentos na APS. Acredita-se que a falta de conhecimento seja a principal lacuna que interfere no desempenho do CD da APS no cuidado desses pacientes.

The objective was to analyze the knowledge and difficulties of dentists (CD) of Primary Health Care (APS) in the care of patients with craniofacial anomalies as a preliminary step in planning an educational strategy. This is a study with a qualitative approach, with the participation of 07 CD from a Sanitary District (DS) in the municipality of Recife, selected for convenience. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, using a script with triggering questions, guiding questions, which were recorded on an audio device, faithfully transcribed, and submitted to the Thematic Content Analysis technique. It was pointed out the lack of knowledge about craniofacial anomalies by the CD and the lack of security in possible visits to APS. It is believed that the lack of knowledge is the main gap that interferes in the performance of the CD in APS in the care of these patients.

Co-existence of micronutrient deficiencies in hospitalized children with severe malnutrition treated according to the WHO protocol.

We assessed the involvement of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and anaemia as co-morbidities associated with severe forms of protein-energy malnutrition in hospitalized children. In a descriptive case series study of 57 children, one clinical case of xerophthalmia was diagnosed: 44.0% had levels of serum retinol <20 µg/dL and 88.0% had Hb <11 g/dL, of whom 30.0% had haemoglobin levels below 7.0 g/dL.

The importance of dentin collagen fibrils on the marginal sealing of adhesive restorations.

This study evaluated the importance of the union between dentin collagen and three different adhesive materials. Sixty Class V restorations were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 30 recently extracted human premolars, with the cervical margins in dentin and the occlusal margins in enamel. These restorations were distributed to three groups of 20 cavities each based on the employed adhesive system used: Group A: Single Bond; Group B: Prime&Bond NT; Group C: One Coat Bond. Each group was subdivided according to dentin treatment: (1) manufacturers' adhesive protocol and (2) removal of the collagens fibers (total etch + sodium hypochlorite 5% for two minutes) + adhesive protocol. After the restorations were completed, the teeth were stored in saline solution (24 hours/37 degrees C), subjected to thermal cycling, washing and scoring according to dye penetration. Dye penetration was evaluated, with the numbers ranging from 0 (no infiltration) to 3 (greatest infiltration). When the dentin microleakage scores were compared in subgroups A1XA2, B1XB2 and C1XC2, the Mann-Whitney Test revealed significant differences between groups B and C (p < 5%). The better results were shown in subgroups B2 (p = 0.0345) and C2 (p = 0.0029). The results showed that the collagen fibrils were not necessary for adhesion, and their removal positively influenced the marginal sealing of Prime&Bond NT and One Coat Bond.
