“…Before clinical examination, the examiner (AFCC) participated in a theoretical and practical training for the use of the DMFT index [10] according to WHO criteria [11]. The following conditions were considered in all examinations per tooth: decayed; filled (with caries and without caries) and missing due to caries.…”

Objective: To evaluate the oral health status of Brazilian workers of a textile industry. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 489 individuals of both sexes was performed. Data on gender, age, schooling, frequency of dentist visits and caries experience (DMFT) were collected by a single trained and calibrated examiner. Data were organized using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and presented through descriptive and inferential statistics (Poisson Regression Analysis). The significance level was 5%. Results: There was predominance of female workers (57.7%) aged 30-39 years (44.6%) and with 9-11 years of schooling (79.7%). Almost all of them had visited the dentist at least once in their lifetime (99.6%), and 66.8% had done so in the last 12 months. The mean DMFT value was 11.14 (± 5.64), with higher participation of filled (6.21) and missing components (4.03). There was a statistically significant association between DMFT values (≤ 11 and ≥ 12) and age group (p <0.001), as well as between schooling and number of missing (p <0.001) and decayed teeth (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The mean DMFT of Brazilian workers is high, with a tendency to increase the number of missing teeth as age increases. Schooling was associated with the number of missing and filled teeth.

“…In both cases, simplification may represent a reduction in examination time and operating costs, with no apparent loss in quality results. 30 For the diagnosis of TMD this study used the Fonseca Anamnesis Index, which is based on Helkimo's Anamnesis Index, representing one of the few instruments available in Portuguese that evaluates and classifies the severity of TMD symptoms. 13 This questionnaire allows the gathering of a great amount of information in an efficient way, presenting a low cost of application and easy perception for the evaluated individuals, not influencing the researcher when obtaining responses.…”

Objective: To evaluate the impact on the quality of working life of Brazilian police officers with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 52 subjects and information was collected through the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire and the Fonseca Anamnesis Index to evaluate the level of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), followed by clinical examination to determine the experience of dental caries, by means of the DMFT index. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (chi-square test) was performed through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. The significance level was 5%. Results: The sample was predominantly composed of males (94.2%) with a mean age of 39.4 years (±9.4) and mean service length of 17.3 years (±11.0). The mean DMFT index value was 15.6 (±6.1), especially the "filled" component, whose mean was 12.1 (±5.4). The presence of TMD was found in 67.3% of the sample, of predominating mild degree (91.4%). Quality of working life (QWL) was classified as unsatisfactory/ neutral by 57.7% of participants. There was a statistically significant association between QWL and presence of TMD (p<0.05); however, there was no association between DMFT index and the presence of TMD (p>0.05). Conclusion: Although military police officers presented a high mean DMFT index value, there was highest prevalence of the "filled" component, evidencing a past experience of caries and evidencing that this population has access to oral health services. The occurrence of TMD was high, predominating the mild degree, and there was an association with QWL.
