Avaliar o acesso e identificar as barreiras ao cuidado em Saúde Bucal de Crianças com Deficiência Motora (CDM) em João Pessoa-PB, a partir das perspectivas de seus cuidadores. Metodologia: Utilizou-se abordagem indutiva, procedimento descritivo e técnica de observação direta intensiva, por meio de entrevista. Participaram do estudo 43 dos 59 cuidadores de CDM de 0-12 anos identificados, selecionados por conveniência. As entrevistas, gravadas em áudio, foram transcritas e analisadas descritivamente e qualitativamente (técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo-DSC). Resultados: Segundo relato dos cuidadores, o diagnóstico das crianças foi Paralisia Cerebral (86%; n=36), Hidrocefalia (4%; n=2), Mielomenigocele (2%; n=2), Síndrome de West (2%; n=1), Síndrome de Down (2%; n=1) e Síndrome de Rett (2%; n=1). O acesso ao dentista foi obtido por 69% (n=30) das crianças, sendo 50% (n=15) no setor privado. Dificuldades para obter o acesso foram encontradas por 65% (n=28), entre elas, baixa oferta de dentistas para atender pacientes especiais (75%; n=21), demora no agendamento (18%; n=5) e indisponibilidade de realizar o procedimento com anestesia geral (7%; n=2). O DSC obtido da percepção sobre o cuidado em saúde bucal foi: O cuidado em Saúde Bucal é medidas de prevenção, promoção e controle, através da higienização e eliminação de hábitos deletérios, além do acompanhamento periódico com o dentista. Conclusão: A partir da percepção do cuidador, o acesso ao cuidado em saúde bucal das CDM é difícil, apresentando como barreiras: baixa oferta de dentistas para atender pacientes especiais, demora no agendamento e necessidade de anestesia geral. Acesso aos Serviços de Saúde. Saúde bucal. Pessoas com necessidades especiais. Objective: To evaluate the access and identify obstacles for oral health care of Children with Motor Disability (CMD) in the city of Joao Pessoa-PB, from caregivers' perspectives. Methods: It was employed an inductive approach, descriptive procedure and intensive direct observation technique by means of interview. The study encompassed 43 out of the 59 caregivers of identified CMD aged 0-12 years, selected by convenience. Audiorecorded interviews were transcripted and analyzed descriptively and qualitatively (Collective Subject Discourse technique-CSD). Results: According to caregivers' reports, children's diagnoses were cerebral palsy (86%; n=36), hydrocephaly (4%; n=2), spina bifida (2%; n=2); West syndrome (2%; n=1), Down syndrome (2%; n=1) and Rett syndrome (2%; n=1). The access to dentist was achieved by 69% (n=30) children, from which 50% (n=15) was in the private practice. Difficulties in getting access were found by 65% (n=28); among those, are: low supply of dentists to support disabled patients (75%; n=21), delay in scheduling (18%; n=5) and unavailability to perform the procedure without general anesthesia (7%; n=2). The CSD gathered from the perception on oral health was: Oral health care is measures for prevention, promotion and control, through cleansing and elimination of harmful habits, besides be...
Objective: This study aimed at comparing the dentoskeletal changes in patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion, treated with three types of fixed functional appliances. Methods: A sample comprising 95 patients with the same malocclusion, retrospectively selected, and divided into four groups, was used: G1 consisted of 25 patients (mean age 12.77 ± 1.24 years) treated with Jasper Jumper appliance; G2, with 25 patients (mean age 12.58 ± 1.65 years) treated with the Herbst appliance; G3, with 23 patients (mean age 12.37 ± 1.72 years) treated with the Mandibular Protraction Appliance (MPA); and a Control Group (CG) comprised of 22 untreated subjects (mean age 12.66 ± 1.12 years). Intergroup comparison was performed with ANOVA, followed by Tukey test.Results: The Jasper Jumper and the Herbst group showed significantly greater maxillary anterior displacement restriction. The Jasper Jumper demonstrated significantly greater increase in the mandibular plane angle, as compared to the control group. The MPA group demonstrated significantly greater palatal inclination of the maxillary incisors. Vertical development of the maxillary molars was significantly greater in the Herbst group. Conclusions: Despite some intergroup differences in the amount of dentoskeletal changes, the appliances were effective in correcting the main features of Class II malocclusions.
Antimicrobial effect of natural dyeing products upon decaycausing bacteria RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar as atividades bacteriostática e bactericida de tinturas de Rosmarinus officinalis (Alecrim), Calendula officinalis (Calêndula) e Mikania glomerata (Guaco) sobre bactérias da cárie dentária e compará-las às da clorexidina. Métodos: A Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) foi determinada pela técnica da microdiluição, utilizando microplacas de 96 furos. Em cada poço foram inseridos 10μL do inóculo (10 8 células/mL), 100μL de caldo BHI duplamente concentrado e 100μL das tinturas, em concentrações que variaram de 100 a 0,78mg/mL, para T1, T2 e T3. Como controle positivo foi utilizado a Clorexidina 0,12%. A leitura foi feita após 24 horas, pelo método visual. Os ensaios foram realizados em triplicata. A Concentração Bactericida Mínima (CBM) foi obtida pela semeadura da última concentração bacteriostática e da sua anterior, para cada produto, em meio Ágar Sangue. Foram consideradas CBM as placas que não apresentaram crescimento bacteriano. Resultados: Sobre Streptococcus mutans, verificou-se CIM de 6,25mg/mL, para T1, T2 e T3 e CBM de 12,5mg/mL para T1 e T2 e de 6,25mg/mL para T3. Sobre Streptococcus oralis todos os produtos apresentaram CIM e CBM de 0,78mg/mL. Para clorexidina, a CIM e CBM foram 0,04mg/mL, sobre S. mutans e S. oralis. Conclusão: As tinturas de Alecrim, Calêndula e Guaco apresentaram ação bactericida e bacteriostática em baixas concentrações, sobre Streptococcus mutans e Streptococcus oralis, entretanto a atividade antimicrobiana da Clorexidina foi superior a das tinturas.
Introduction: Brazil faced a catastrophic situation in the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the high risk of contamination and spread of COVID-19, dentist have been attending only urgency and emergency services in Brazil at the beginning of the pandemic. Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the psychological and financial impacts caused by the coronavirus pandemic in Brazilian orthodontists. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study collected demographic data and mental health measurements from 404 orthodontists. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress were evaluated through Brazilian versions of the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (9-PHQ), the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale and Mini-Tracking (GAD), the 7-item Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and the 22-item Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), respectively. The demographic data of the sample was described using descriptive statistics. The data was analyzed according to sex, professional status, and economic income. Comparisons were performed using Chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Kruskal-Wallis followed by post-hoc tests. Results: Females, graduate students, and lower incomes subgroups showed higher levels of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress. Most orthodontists showed moderate to extreme financial and professional concerns during the pandemic. Conclusion: The coronavirus pandemic negatively affected the psychological health and increased the financial concerns of the Brazilian orthodontists, mainly female, graduate students, and with income below 10k participants.
