The aim of this study was to examine the association between handling chemical products and self-rated oral health in a sample of Brazilian workers. A cross-sectional study used data from the National Health Survey (PNS), carried out in 2013, in Brazil. The sample consisted of 36,442 workers of both sexes and aged ≥18 years. Socioeconomic, demographic, occupational, lifestyle and health status characteristics were described. For the perception of oral health, the outcome variable was considered. For occupational exposure to chemicals, the explanatory variable. Bivariate and multivariate analyzes were developed using the Stata version 12.0 statistical program. Age, race/color and region of residence were significantly associated with a higher prevalence of negative selfrated oral health. Higher prevalence of negative self-assessment of oral health among individuals exposed to chemical products (PR=1.15[1.10-1.21] for males and PR=1.23[1.16-1.31] for the women). These associations remained significant in the multivariate model for both sexes. In conclusion, there is a higher prevalence of negative perception of oral health among workers exposed to handling chemical products in the workplace.

The aim of this study was to report the dental care given to an adolescent with pentasomy of the X chromosome. The patient presented a cleft palate, impacted teeth, malocclusion, high caries activity, gingivitis and multiple tooth loss due to caries. Despite the difficulties of carrying out the dental work due to involuntary movements and the initial lack of collaboration from the patient the overall dental care was completed on an outpatient basis. The therapeutic success of the treatment was strongly supported by the significant cooperation and relationship that grew up along the period of the treatment, as well as the desire to have the treatment done by both the patient and her parents.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the CEOs in the mountain region of the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, in the perspective of the patients with special needs care or their companion’s satisfaction. Data were collected from 159 users by using a standardized self-applied individual semi-structured questionnaire. The results indicated a positive evaluation in most of the dimensions, except the accessibility dimension. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the services of the following dimensions of quality: accessibility, r...

Material and Methods: the random sample was composed of 55 caregivers of people with ID and an interview script with a qualitative approach was applied to deepen the understanding of this group about oral health services accessibility. The qualitative analysis was performed through the Discourse of the Collective Subject Method. Results: we observed some barriers to access and care to oral health to patients with disabilities, such as: lack of structure and organization of the service, deficient training of professionals for attendance, among others. In addition, the health care within a practice little paid in and weakly based on health promotion were other factors that compromised the access of people with ID. Conclusion: the access evaluation is extremely important, because it allows the reordering of actions and services according to the...

The sample consisted of 119 individuals. Data collection was performed in stages: calibration and pilot study; Application of questionnaires; Exam of caries, periodontal and need for dental prostheses, in accordance with the World Health Organization criteria. The data were subjected to both bivariate and multivariate analyses to test the association of independent variables with the dependent variable (QoL). Worse QoL was associated with the presence of periodontal pocket (p = 0.03; OR = 2.50; 95% CI 1.06 to 5.90), treatment need (p = 0.01; OR = 5.00; 95% CI 1.37 to 18.31), and need for dental prostheses (p = 0.03; OR = 2.89; 95% CI 1.13 to 7.37). It was concluded that clinical determinants had the ...

Entretanto, o papel do suporte social na proteção/desenvolvimento de doenças bucais, como a cárie dentária, ainda parece obscuro. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência dos recursos socioeconômicos e psicossociais na experiência de cárie em adolescentes residentes em duas regiões de Nova Friburgo, Lumiar e Olaria. A amostra não probabilística compreendeu 45 adolescentes de Lumiar e 75 de Olaria de 12 anos de idade de escolas públicas de ambas regiões. Os resultados foram avaliados através de análise descritiva e mostraram uma baixa prevalência de cárie (CPO-D 1,13), para os adolescentes de Lumiar, e CPO-D= 3,27 para grupo de polarização da doença. Em Olaria, observou-se um valor médio de CPO-D dos adolescentes de 1,84. O grupo de polarização da cárie nos residentes do bairro de Olaria apresentou CPO-D= 4,21. Houve tendência à maior escolaridade estar relacionada aos responsáveis dos adolescentes livres de cáries. Concluiu-se que a escolaridade dos responsáveis parece ser um possível fator relacionado à experiência de cárie e que o capital social pode ter influenciado a experiência de cárie.

Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between the services of the following dimensions of quality: accessibility, resoluteness, technical-scientific quality, efficiency, efficacy, and acceptability. The analysis of qualitative data, through the discourse of the collective subject technique (DCS) and social representations, showed five central ideas about users' satisfaction and dissatisfaction with CEOs services (humanized health care, resoluteness of the service, professional competence, infrastructure and organization of the service, access to the services). In conclusion, most patients with special needs care and their companions were satisfied with specialized dental centers (SDC) services, although there were significant differences among SDCs services in relation to individuals' satisfaction.
