“…No presente estudo, não houve associação entre a autoavaliação negativa da saúde bucal com as variáveis relacionadas à utilização de serviços odontológicos. No entanto, AfonsoSouza et al 24 encontraram associação entre uma autoavaliação mais positiva da saúde bucal e o uso regular de serviços odontológicos. Na tentativa de explicar tal associação, os autores sugeriram duas hipóteses: que a autoavaliação positiva seria consequência de um bom tratamento, da maior oportunidade de receber tratamentos preventivos com reflexos positivos nas condições clínicas de saúde bucal; por outro lado, essa associação estaria relacionada à ocorrência de um bem-estar psicológico associado ao cuidado com a saúde.…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de autoavaliação negativa de saúde bucal e fatores associados entre adultos em áreas de assentamento rural. A amostra probabilística consistiu de 557 adultos entre 20 a 59 anos em áreas de assentamento rural no Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. A variável dependente foi autoavaliação da condição de saúde bucal e as independentes foram: características demográficas, de predisposição/disponibilidade de recursos, comportamentos relacionados à saúde bucal, condições objetivas e subjetivas relacionadas à saúde bucal. Foram estimadas as razões de prevalência bruta e ajustada por meio de regressão de Poisson. A prevalência de autopercepção negativa da saúde bucal foi de 70,5%. A autoavaliação negativa da saúde bucal foi mais prevalente em indivíduos mais jovens, de baixa escolaridade, entre as mulheres, e entre os de cor preta e parda. Os preditores da autoavaliação negativa da saúde bucal foram a cor da pele, a necessidade autorreferida de tratamento odontológico e o impacto das condições de saúde bucal na qualidade de vida.

“…De fato, Afonso-Souza et al 24 afirmaram, com base nos achados de seu estudo, que a manutenção da dentição natural em condição satisfatória está associada com uma melhor autoavaliação da saúde bucal, e que a ausência de dentes naturais aumentava em quatro vezes a chance de classificar sua saúde bucal como ruim.…”

“…Moreover, dental visits might reassure and inform people, boosting their confidence regarding their oral health condition, rendering them more likely to report the positive aspects of their oral health. 24 Elderly people who used public dental services showed a higher prevalence of poor SROA. In Brazil, historically, this group did not receive public dental care service, except in cases of urgency, resulting in dental mutilation.…”

Association between self-rated oral appearance and the need for dental prostheses among elderly Brazilians Abstract: We investigated the association between poor self-rated oral appearance and the need for dental prostheses among elderly Brazilians. National data from an epidemiological survey on oral health in Brazil conducted from 2002 to 2003 by the Ministry of Health (SB, Brazil) with a multistage random sample of 4,839 individuals aged 65-74 years in 250 towns were analyzed. The dependent variable was self-rated oral appearance, dichotomized into "poor" (poor/very poor) and "good" (fair/good/very good). The main independent variable was the need for an upper or lower dental prosthesis. Other variables included sociodemographic characteristics, approach to dental care, oral health conditions, and self-reported oral disadvantage. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Poisson regression models at a 95% significance level. The prevalence of poor self-rated oral appearance was 20.6% and was higher in the elderly who needed a partial or complete upper or lower prosthesis, independent of other variables. This prevalence was associated with age, the use of dental services, access to information about oral disease prevention, number of decayed teeth, self-perception of the need for treatment, dental pain, chewing ability, and the perception that oral health affects relationships with other people. The elderly who needed dental prostheses had a higher prevalence of poor self-rated oral appearance than those who did not need any.

“…This study examined the oral health status only of the subjects who received a workplace oral health examination, and that of subjects who did not receive such an examination remains uncertain. A previous study has found that subjects who do not visit a dentist for routine checkups have poor self-perceived oral health 20) . There is a possibility that the subjects who did not receive a workplace oral health examination and regular dental checkups in clinics might have had a poorer oral health status.…”

Relationship between Receiving a Workplace Oral Health Examination Including Oral Health Instruction and Oral Health Status in the Japanese Adult Population: Tadaaki Oshikohji, et al. Section of Preventive and Public Health Dentistry, Division of Oral Health, Growth and Development, Kyushu University Faculty of Dental Science— Objectives Dental caries and periodontal disease are highly prevalent in the Japanese adult population. Oral examination is an effective method to ind various oral health problems in their early stages. However, workplace oral examination is not common in Japan. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between receiving workplace oral health examination, including oral health instruction, and oral health status in the Japanese adult population. Methods This study was performed using data from 4,484 Japanese employees aged 35–74 yr. The proportion of teeth with a probing depth (PD) ≥4 mm and the number of decayed teeth were used for periodontal disease and dental caries parameters. The subjects were asked by questionnaire about past experiences with workplace oral health examination. Results The subjects who Received a workplace oral health examination every year had better periodontal health status than those receiving an examination for the irst time. The odds ratio for having ≥10% of teeth with PD ≥4 mm in the subjects who Received workplace oral health examination every year was 0.63 (p<0.05) after adjustment for age, sex, smoking habits, tooth brushing habits, routine visits to dental clinics, number of missing teeth, and oral hygiene status, in a multivariate, multinomial logistic regression analysis. On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between workplace oral health examination and number of decayed teeth. Conclusions These results suggest that workplace oral health examination accompanied by oral health instruction may be effective for maintenance of periodontal health.
