“…Our study also revealed the association between overweight/obesity and the occurrence of dental pain, whereas overweight/obese children (aged 0 to 4.9 years old) had 1.12 the odds of experiencing dental pain as compared to their counterparts. A study by Lemes et al (2015) that was conducted on the 2 to the 4-year-old group of children revealed that one of the factors that were significantly related to the occurrence of dental pain was the consumption level of artificial powder juice containing sugar [57]. Even though the type of diet was not evaluated in the current study, yet, the result revealed by Lemes et al (2015) in their study might have provided us with the evidence of how this particular type of childhood diet might be one of the reasons that children who are overweight/obese have bigger odds on having dental pain symptoms.…”

As previous studies have indicated how sugary beverages were significantly associated with overweight/obesity [58 -60] and the increased prevalence of dental caries [61 -63], which is the main cause of dental pain [64,65].…”

Background: Overweight/obesity remains one of the most important health issues. Not only due to the current health consequences but also because of its long-term effect. One of the most common health problems experienced by an individual with overweight/obesity is dental problem, which can be reflected from dental pain being complained. Objective: The objective of the current study was to evaluate the association of overweight/obesity to be the predictor of the occurrence of dental pain. Methods: Data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) from five consecutive survey waves (1993, 1997, 2000, 2007 and 2014) that involved more than 30.000 participants and their offsprings that were grouped into three different age categories (0-4.9 years old; 5-19.9 years old; and 20-49.9 years old) were gathered and analyzed for Odds Ratio (OR) and Confidence Interval (CI). Trends of childhood overweight/obesity, the occurrence of dental pain, as well as the likelihood of individuals with childhood overweight/obesity to develop dental pain were analyzed by using STATA Data Analysis and Statistical Software version 13. Results: The results of the current study revealed that all age groups exhibited an increase in numbers when it comes to the prevalence of overweight/obesity from the first wave (in 1993) up to the latest wave (in 2014). It was also revealed that those who were in the 0-4.9 years old age group, were those who were more likely to develop dental pain (OR:1.12; 95% CI: 0.84-1.5; p:0.44). Conclusion: Despite the wave to wave variation, overweight/obesity has the potential to be associated with future dental problems, with dental pain in particular.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the opinions of Brazilian dental surgeons (DS) about their roles in Public Emergency Dental Services (PEDS). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with an intentional sample of 44 DS who worked at the PEDS in a large municipality in the central-western region of Brazil, in 2013. To collect data we designed, pretested and applied a self-administered questionnaire with Likert scale assertions about the DS duties, referral of patients and execution of dental procedures in PEDS. Post-hoc tests revealed an instrument's reliability of 91%. RESULTS: As their main duty, DS pointed out providing relief to patients' complaints in cases of dental pain and trauma. Regarding referral of patients, they considered typically that they should refer to services at a higher complexity level those patients exhibiting infections in advanced stages under risk of disseminations. Most of them disagreed with performing dental restorations in emergency consultations, while the majority stated that they should mainly perform intraoral abscesses drainage, alveolitis and haemorrhage treatment. CONCLUSION: To provide pain and trauma relief to patients was pointed out by DS as their key role in PEDS, as well as to refer at-risk patients to high-level complexity services and to perform procedures aimed at solving emergency situations, instead of providing restorative treatment to patients.Key words: Public Health Dentistry; Dental Health Services; Emergencies; Public Health Policy; Dental CareUrgências odontológicas em serviços públicos de saúde: qual o papel do Cirurgião-Dentista? RESUMO OBJETIVO: Avaliar a opinião de cirurgiões-dentistas (CD) brasileiros sobre o papel deles em Serviços Odontológicos Públicos de Urgência (SOU). METODOLOGIA: Um estudo transversal foi realizado com uma amostra intencional de 44 CD que trabalhavam em SOU em um município de grande porte na região centro-oeste do Brasil, em 2013. Para coletar os dados foi elaborado, pré-testado e aplicado um questionário autoexplicativo com escala Likert e asserções sobre as atribuições dos CD, encaminhamento de pacientes e execução de procedimentos odontológicos nos SOU. Testes posteriores revelaram uma confiabilidade deste instrumento de 91%. RESULTADOS: Como sua principal atribuição, os CD apontaram que devem buscar aliviar as queixas dos pacientes em casos de dor e trauma dental. Com relação ao encaminhamento de pacientes, eles consideraram tipicamente que deveriam referenciar para serviços de maior complexidade aqueles pacientes com infecções em estágios avançados com risco de disseminação. Muitos deles discordavam com a realização de restauração dental nas consultas de urgência, enquanto que a maioria considerou que deveria executar drenagem intraoral de abscessos, tratamento de alveolite e hemorragia. CONCLUSÃO: Os CD reconheceram que prover alívio aos pacientes com dor e trauma é o seu principal papel nos SOU, além de referenciar pacientes de risco para unidades de maior complexidade e realizar procedimentos clínicos voltados à resolu...

“…Literature describes the prevalence of toothache in five-year-old children as being between 9.4% and 25.0% (1,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). As cognitive ability is still developing in this age group, the evaluation of tooth pain is performed via the reports of parents (11).…”

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of individual and contextual factors on the occurrence of toothache in five-year-old children. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 756 five-year-old children from public and private preschools in a city in the countryside of the northeast of Brazil. The sample was determined through probabilistic sampling in two stages (preschools and children). The children included could not have systematic diseases, permanent tooth or orthodontic treatment. Parents/caregivers were required to spend at least 12 hours per day with their children. The history of toothache during the life of the child was reported by parents/guardians. Socioeconomic and psychological questionnaires were completed by parents/guardians. Variables related to social context were obtained from the preschools in which the children studied and the official publications of the municipal region. Unadjusted and adjusted multilevel Poisson regression models were used to investigate the association between individual and contextual characteristics and history of toothache. The history of toothache was found for 23.8% of the children. Among the individual determinants, gender of the child, order of birth, and schooling of parent/guardian were associated with toothache in children. The individual variables remained associated with the outcome after the addition of the contextual variables to the model. The type of preschool was the contextual determinant associated with toothache in the final model. Both individual (gender, order of birth and schooling of parents/guardians) and contextual (type of preschool) determinants were associated with history of toothache in five-year-old children.
