O estudo avaliou o cumprimento das metas de desempenho dos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEO) do estado do Amazonas, utilizando dados secundários do SIA-SUS, considerando as variáveis estruturais dos estabelecimentos, cobertura da atenção básica e indicadores sociodemográficos dos municípios. Treze CEO foram avaliados. Um estabelecimento de Manaus e os de Maués e Parintins apresentaram melhor desempenho em relação ao Cumprimento Global das Metas. A cobertura das Equipes de Saúde Bucal na atenção básica parece não acompanhar o desempenho dos estabelecimentos. Os resultados sugerem que o desempenho dos CEO está relacionado às características sociodemográficas dos municípios.
Purpose: To evaluate the oral health conditions of pregnant women enrolled in the Prenatal and Birth Humanization Program of the Theomário Pinto Costa primary healthcare unit in the south-central zone of Manaus, Amazonas Methods: The population comprised 50 pregnant women, independent of pregnancy trimester. To assess the prevalence of dental caries, we used the DMFT Index, and for gingivitis, we used the Plaque Index and Gingival Bleeding Index. A questionnaire was used to investigate socioeconomic conditions, access to dental services and self-perception regarding oral health. Results: One hundred percent of the population presented with caries; the mean DMFT score was 10.0, and the M component (missing teeth) was predominant (4.28). Among the pregnant women examined, 62% presented with moderate gingival inflammation, and 64% presented with at least some plaque. With regard to educational level, 10% of the population had completed an elementary education, 20% had not completed an elementary education, 34% had completed a high school education, and 6% had not completed a university-level education. Conclusion: Considering the results, it can be seen that the oral health status of the population was unfavorable, although a majority considered their oral health to be normal or good.
