RESUMEN

This analytical cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the access of patients with special needs (PSN) in Brazilian municipalities to hospital dental care of the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), based on data from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System (Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS- SIH/SUS - SIH), from 2010 to 2018. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was performed; the Poisson regression was used to verify factors associated with the variable total number of hospitalization authorizations with the main procedure of dental treatment for PSN ("Total de Autorizações de Internação Hospitalar" - AIH), the Spearman correlation test with a significance level of 5% was used to characterize the relationships between the Municipal Human Development Index per municipality - (Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal - HDI) and the Oral Health Coverage in the Family Health Strategy by municipality (Cobertura de saúde bucal na estratégia saúde da família por município - SBSF Coverage), and the relationship of the AIH with SBSF Coverage. A total of 127,691 procedures were performed, of which 71,517 (56%) were clinical procedures, such as restorations, endodontic treatments, supra and subgingival scaling, among others. Municipalities in the Midwest (PR=5.117) and Southeast (RP = 4.443) regions had more precedures than the others. A weak correlation was found between AIH and SBSF Coverage (r = -0.2, p < 0.001) and HDI and SBSF Coverage (r = -0.074, p < 0.001). Population size, region, health coverage, oral hygiene, and number of dentists in hospitals affected the availability of dental procedures in PSN.

RESUMEN

Resumo O campo da Odontologia do Trabalho tem considerado lastro teórico-científico. Esta revisão de escopo objetiva desvelar o estado da arte acerca do tema em sete bases de pesquisas indexadas, considerando quase 100 anos de publicações (1921-2020). Das 337 produções inicialmente identificadas, realizou-se recorte para os últimos seis anos (2015-2021/janeiro), aplicando-se metodologia proposta pela extensão do Prisma para revisões de escopo (Prisma-ScR). Contudo, plataformas de revisões rápidas usadas para tomada de decisões em formulações de políticas públicas ou em aperfeiçoamentos de sistemas de saúde responderam por apenas 20 publicações, enquanto a amostra de 34 produções revelou peculiaridades: pesquisas privilegiam regimes de trabalho; associam o campo de estudo e prática ao modelo stricto sensu da saúde ocupacional; desconsideram concepções amplas e humanizantes do campo da Saúde do Trabalhador; tendem a priorizar a própria saúde ocupacional odontológica e parecem reduzir o conceito do acidente de trabalho a doenças. Tais questões precisam ser superadas se a perspectiva for manter-se em vanguarda, promovendo saúd e e segurança em contextos contemporâneos de trabalho, pois, embora seja evidente a transversalidade desse campo de saberes e práticas, é necessário mais, é preciso ousar para retirá-la da invisibilidade, seja em organizações privadas ou públicas de trabalho.

Abstract The field of Occupational Dentistry has considered theoretical-scientific ballast. This scoping review aims to reveal the state of the art on the subject in seven indexed research bases, considering almost 100 years of publications (1921-2020). Of the 337 productions initially identified, a cut was made for the last six years (2015-2021/January), applying the methodology proposed by the PRISMA extension for scope reviews (PRISMA-ScR). However, rapid review platforms used for decision making in formulating public policies or in improving health systems accounted for only 20 publications, whereas the sample of 34 productions revealed peculiarities: research favors work regimes; associates the field of study and practice with the stricto sensu model of occupational health; disregards broad and humanizing concepts in the field of Worker's Health; tends to prioritize its own occupational dental health, and seems to reduce the concept of work accidents to illnesses. Such issues need to be overcome if the perspective is to remain at the forefront, promoting health and safety in contemporary work contexts, since, although the transversality of this field of knowledge and practices is evident, more is needed, daring to remove it from invisibility whether in private or public work organizations is necessary.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To explore the factors associated with the waiting time for access to specialized care at Dental Specialties Centers (CEO, in Portuguese), by specialty (Stomatology, Surgery, Endodontics, Patients with Special Needs and Periodontology). METHODS: The study was a descriptive and analytic exploratory secondary analysis of data from the 2nd phase of the National Program for Improving the Access to and Quality of CEO (PMAQ-CEO, in Portuguese). All 1097 CEO in Brazil were evaluated in loco in 2018. Binary logistic regression was used to analyse the likelihood of users having a shorter time for assistance at CEO, by specialty. RESULTS: The highest and lowest median waiting times were found for endodontics (30 days) and stomatology (5 days), respectively. Smaller centres (type I CEO) had a shorter waiting list for patients with special needs (95%CI: 1.20-3.37), Endodontics (95%CI: 1.03-3.02) and Surgery (95%CI: 1.04-3.05). As for the specialties with the longest waiting list (Endodontics and Surgery), the direct route of user access to CEO was more effective than that regulated by the Healthcare System. CONCLUSIONS: Factors related to the service, management, and to the form of relationship with primary health care influenced the waiting time for specialized care in CEO. The contact between professionals in the oral health network (primary care and secondary) was associated with a shorter waiting time, regardless of the specialty.

RESUMEN

Introdução/Objetivos: A pesquisa apresenta como a Gestão da Informação (GI) é desenvolvida e qual a influência desta nas tomadas de decisão, relativas ao Planejamento Estratégico das ações e serviços a serem realizados, da Saúde Bucal da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) de Anápolis/GO. Metodologia: Para atingir tal objetivo foram analisados os seguintes processos: a coleta de dados pelos Cirurgiões-Dentistas, o processamento dos dados pelo Setor de Informação para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), e a formação e utilização dos indicadores pelos gestores. A investigação foi conduzida por meio de entrevistas à profissionais da assistência, da Tecnologia da Informação e da Coordenação da Saúde Bucal da ESF de Anápolis/GO; roteiros semiestruturados foram usados como instrumento de coleta de dados e a Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin1 como técnica de interpretação dos dados coletados. Resultados: Os resultados puderam identificar que a Saúde Bucal da ESF de Anápolis/GO não possui um processo institucionalizado de formação de indicadores de saúde, sendo que a maioria dos dados tem apenas função burocrática e financeira. Conclusões: Consequentemente, as decisões da gestão são automáticas e sem embasamento estatístico ou científico. Além disso, revelou-se a dualidade de sentimentos que é trabalhar na saúde pública brasileira, uma mistura de prazer e sofrimento. Outros estudos são necessários para acompanhar a mudança imposta pelo "Previne Brasil", já que a formação de indicadores de saúde passa a ser obrigatória para o recebimento de recursos financeiros.

RESUMEN

Oral cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in Brazil. An understanding of how public policies are implemented to address this problem can contribute to the construction of solutions. The "Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade" (PMAQ-AB and PMAQ-CEO) at the level of primary and secondary care are evaluations that also collect data on prevention and monitoring strategies for oral cancer. This study aimed to analyze the results of the incorporation of oral health teams to evaluate the strategies adopted by Brazil regarding the impact on the diagnosis of oral cancer. Of the 17,202 family health teams evaluated, 72.10% had oral health teams (OHT). Considering the strategies for prevention, screening, campaign, and follow-up of suspected cases, 72.27% of the campaign teams and 59.09% of the teams who accompanied suspected cases had OHT. In secondary care, more than 65% of the teams in the Southeast and South regions registered cases of oral cancer, and the referral network was more represented. The inclusion of OHT had a positive impact on campaign actions, follow-up, referral to specialists, and registration of suspected cases throughout Brazil.

RESUMEN

Robust epidemiological data allow for logical interventions taken in the interest of public health. Dental caries is a major public health problem driven by increased sugar consumption and various biological, behavioral, and psychosocial factors, and is known to strongly affect an individual's quality of life. This study aims to critically review epidemiological data on the prevalence of dental caries in Latin American and Caribbean countries (LACC) and its impact on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of the population. Although the majority of national surveys did not include all age groups and several countries reported a reduction in the prevalence of cavitated carious lesions, most nations still exhibited a high burden of decayed teeth. OHRQoL evaluation was limited to children and older adults only, and was not included in any national survey. Study heterogeneity and methodological issues hindered comparison of evidence between studies and over time, and updating national level data on caries prevalence and its impact on OHRQoL should be prioritized in LACCs.

RESUMEN

This study aimed to analyze the influence of socioeconomic factors on the frequency of diagnoses of oral mucosal changes and the number of hospitalized patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Brazil. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from all Brazilian cities in the period 2011-2017. The frequency of diagnoses of oral mucosal changes and the number of hospitalized patients of oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Brazil were extracted from the Primary Care Information System (SIAB) and Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA) databases. The socioeconomic factors evaluated were the Gini coefficient of inequality, municipal Human Development Index (MHDI), inadequate basic sanitation rate, employment rate, illiteracy rate and expected years of schooling. Associated factors were examined using bivariate Spearman's correlations and multivariate Poisson regressions, and statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlations between study variables and regression coefficients were obtained. A higher frequency of diagnoses of mucosal changes was observed in cities with a higher Gini coefficient (B = 11.614; p < 0.001), higher MHDI (B = 11.298; p < 0.001), and higher number of hospitalized patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer (B = 0.001, p < 0.002). Cities with higher Gini coefficients (B = 8.159, p < 0.001), higher inadequate basic sanitation rates (B = 0.09, p = 0.001), lower expected years of schooling (B = -0.718, p < 0.001), and higher illiteracy rates (B = 0.191, p < 0.001) had a higher frequency of hospitalized patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer. In conclusion, more developed cities showed a higher frequency of diagnoses of mucosal changes. Greater inequality and worse socioeconomic conditions are associated with a higher frequency of hospitalized patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer in Brazil.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To monitor the number of oral health teams implemented in the Family Health Strategy after National Primary Care Policy 2017. METHODS: This is a study of quantitative, descriptive and analytical nature that used the data from the public reports of the history of oral health coverage available in the e-Manager platform of Primary Care of the Ministry of Health of all Brazilian municipalities (5,570). The survival rate of the municipalities that did not reduce the number of oral health teams was analyzed according to the region of the country, human development index, Gini inequality index and population size. Cox regression was used to analyze the factors associated with the decrease in the number of teams implanted after 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 months of publication of the 2017 national policy ordinance, considering the hazard ratio (HR) and p < 0.05. RESULTS: After 21 months of publication of the policy, 6.7% of Brazilian municipalities reduced the number of oral health teams. This reduction was higher in the South (6.7%) and Northeast (4.8%), in municipalities with the highest human development index, i.e., greater than or equal to 0.7 (5.6%), more unequal in terms of income distribution (Gini index > 0.62) and larger population size (more than 100,000 inhabitants). Municipalities in the Northeast (HR = 1.220) and South (HR = 1.771) regions had a higher chance of reducing the number of teams compared with those in the North region. More unequal municipalities (HR = 6.405) and with larger population size (HR = 4.273) were also more likely to reduce the coverage of oral health teams. CONCLUSION: The municipalities that reduced the number of oral health teams in the Family Health Strategy are from the South and Northeast regions, with greater social inequality and larger population size. This scenario can significantly affect the population's access to dental health services in the Unified Health System, especially among those in need.

O objetivo foi analisar a Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal, na perspectiva do acesso e cobertura das ações desenvolvidas na odontologia do Sistema Único de Saúde, entre 2002 e 2016. A partir do quadro conceitual da Organização Mundial da Saúde, que se divide em blocos para garantir acesso, cobertura e qualidade dos sistemas de saúde, foi realizado um estudo de caso do Brasil Sorridente referentes à implantação e financiamento das equipes. O bloco "força de trabalho" revelou um crescimento superior a 470% no número de equipes de saúde bucal no Brasil; no bloco "financiamento" fica evidente o grande aporte financeiro destinado à política, com ênfase ao papel indutor deste processo nos municípios; o bloco "tecnologia" evidenciou o incremento tecnológico para viabilizar os serviços de saúde bucal em todo o Brasil; já no bloco "disponibilidade dos serviços de saúde" observa-se uma ampliação de 4% na atenção básica e os serviços especializados essas porcentagens ultrapassam os 200% entre 2001 e 2015, finalmente, no bloco "acesso e cobertura" foi possível verificar o aumento de cobertura populacional de 9% para 43% no Brasil. Os dados apontam que a política permitiu um avanço referente aos blocos estruturantes do framework e melhorou o acesso e a cobertura em saúde bucal. (AU)

The objective was to analyze the National Oral Health Policy, from the perspective of access and coverage of dentistry actions in the Unified Health System, between 2002 and 2016. Based on the World Health Organization conceptual framework, which is divided into blocks to guarantee access, coverage and quality of health systems, a case study was carried out in the Smiling Brazil considering the implementation and financing. As a result, the "workforce" block revealed a growth rate superior than 470% in the number of oral health teams in Brazil. In the "financing" block, the great financial support to the policy is evident, with emphasis on the role of this process in the municipalities. The "technology" block evidenced the technological increase to make oral health services viable in Brazil. Furthermore, in the block "availability of health services" was observed an increase of 4% in primary care. On the other hand, between 2001 and 2015, in the specialized services this percentage exceed 200%. Finally, in the block "access and coverage" was possible to verify the increase of population coverage from 9% to 43% in Brazil. The data indicate that the policy allowed an advance regarding the framework structuring blocks, as well as improved the access and coverage in oral health. (AU)

RESUMEN

As condições bucais não só afetam o indivíduo fisicamente, mas também de forma psicossocial, evidenciando íntima ligação entre saúde bucal e determinantes sociais de saúde. A Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal surge com a finalidade de superar problemas trazidos pelo atendimento odontológico historicamente assistencialista. O presente estudo objetiva comparar a implantação do Brasil Sorridente em relação às deliberações da 3ªCNSB, analisar o impacto da política na saúde bucal e expor perspectivas futuras. Fez-se uma avaliação processual a partir de documentos provenientes do PubMed, Scielo, GoogleScholar e Ministério da Saúde. O número de ESB aumentou de 8.951, em 2004, para 28.298 equipes em 2019, sendo 5,8% delas modalidade II. Em 1.161 CEOs, 579 possuem RCPD. São 2.468 LRPD com incentivo de R$22,5 mil para maiores produções de próteses. Em 2008, 76,3% dos municípios possuíam água fluoretada. O sistema permite cobertura de 100% das comunidades indígenas com 320 UOMs e 34 DSEIs. O 3º ciclo PMAQ-AB mostrou 83,7% das equipes com rendimento máximo e já no primeiro PMAQ-CEO a taxa de adesão foi de 87%. A PNSB se mostrou coerente às deliberações da 3ªCNSB, trazendo resultados impactantes, contudo, ajustes importantes relacionados à integralidade, desigualdade ao acesso, ajustes financeiros e educação em saúde são necessários. (AU)

Oral conditions affect not only the individual physically, but also psychosocially, showing an intimate connection between oral health and social determinants of health. The National Oral Health Policy emerged with the aim of overcoming problems brought by the dental care professional. This study aims to compare the implementation of Brasil Sorridente in relation to the deliberations of the 3rd CNSB, analyze the impact of the policy on oral health and expose future perspectives. An evaluation process was carried out based on documents from PubMed, Scielo, GoogleScholar and the Ministry of Health. The number of ESBs increased from 8,951 in 2004 to 28,298 teams in 2019, 5.8% of which were in modality II. Out of 1,161 CEOs, 579 have RCPD. There are 2,468 LRPD with an incentive of R$ 22,500 for large production of prostheses. In 2008, 76.3% of the municipalities had fluoridated water. The system allows coverage of 100% of indigenous communities with 320 UOMs and 34 DSEIs. The 3rd PMAQ-AB cycle showed 83.7% of the teams with maximum performance and in the first PMAQ-CEO the adherence rate was 87%. The PNSB proved to be consistent with the deliberations of the 3rd CNSB, bringing impressive results, however, important adjustments related to integrality, inequality of access, financial adjustments and health education are necessary.

More unequal municipalities (HR = 6.405) and with larger population size (HR = 4.273) were also more likely to reduce the coverage of oral health teams. CONCLUSION The municipalities that reduced the number of oral health teams in the Family Health Strategy are from the South and Northeast regions, with greater social inequality and larger population size. This scenario can significantly affect the population's access to dental health services in the Unified Health System, especially among those in need.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Realizar um monitoramento do quantitativo de equipes de saúde bucal implantadas na Estratégia Saúde da Família após a Política Nacional de Atenção Básica 2017. METODOLOGIA Estudo de natureza quantitativa, descritiva e analítica que utilizou os dados dos relatórios públicos do histórico de cobertura de saúde bucal disponível na plataforma e-Gestor da Atenção Básica do Ministério da Saúde de todos os municípios brasileiros (5.570). A sobrevida dos municípios que não reduziram o quantitativo de equipes de saúde bucal foi analisada segundo a região do país, índice de desenvolvimento humano, índice de desigualdade de Gini e porte populacional. A regressão de Cox foi utilizada para analisar os fatores associados à diminuição do número de equipes implantadas após 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 e 21 meses da publicação da portaria da política nacional de 2017, considerando-se a hazard ratio (HR) e p < 0,05. RESULTADOS Após 21 meses de publicação da política, 6,7% dos municípios brasileiros reduziram a quantidade de equipes de saúde bucal. Essa redução foi maior nas regiões Sul (6,7%) e Nordeste (4,8%), nos municípios com índice de desenvolvimento humano mais alto, ou seja, maior ou igual a 0,7 (5,6%), mais desiguais quanto à distribuição de renda (índice de Gini > 0,62) e de maior porte populacional (mais de 100.000 habitantes). Municípios das regiões Nordeste (HR = 1,220) e Sul (HR = 1,771) apresentaram maior chance de redução do número de equipes comparados aos da região Norte. Municípios mais desiguais (HR = 6,405) e com maior porte populacional (HR = 4,273) também apresentaram maior chance de reduzir a cobertura de equipes de saúde bucal. CONCLUSÃO Os municípios que reduziram a quantidade de equipes de saúde bucal na Estratégia Saúde da Família são das regiões Sul e Nordeste, com maior desigualdade social e maior porte populacional. Esse cenário pode impactar significativamente o acesso da população aos serviços de saúde bucal do Sistema Único de Saúde, principalmente entre os que mais necessitam.

RESUMEN

Abstract This paper describes the possibilities of using Teledentistry to expand and qualify health care in oral health care networks. WHO already recommended to its member countries, even before the pandemic, Telehealth as a strategy to improve the quality of services, especially in universal systems, as the Unified Health System (SUS). Teledentistry opens opportunities for oral health to resume the provision of various services, remotely, such as: 1) Tracking, active search, monitoring of priority users, those at risk and with systemic problems, suspicions of COVID-19 and contacts, through Telemonitation; 2) Initial listening, individual or collective educational activities, through Teleorientation; 3) Discussion of clinical cases for the definition of the opportunity / need for operative procedures, matrix support, sharing, solution of doubts among professionals and between these and teaching and research institutions, by Teleconsulting, among others. In addition to a review of Teledentistry in the context of the pandemic, we conceptualized the terms used and possibilities offered to SUS professionals, in addition to specifying the possible protocols for recording these activities to provide safe data for their monitoring and evaluation. Besides, we bring a brief discussion with promising experiences, carried out in the pre- and trans-pandemic contexts, which can be important strategies for the resumption of oral health in the post-pandemic scenario.

RESUMEN

Resumo O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar, por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, os possíveis impactos das crises financeiras sobre os indicadores de saúde bucal em diferentes países, bem como verificar as medidas adotadas de forma a traçar um paralelo com a realidade brasileira. Uma busca de artigos que atendessem a estes critérios foi realizada nas bases PUBMED, EMBASE, Lilacs, SCOPUS e também na literatura cinzenta. Ao final, nove estudos foram incluídos. Os resultados indicam que a população em maior vulnerabilidade, menor renda e menor escolaridade são as mais afetadas, independentemente do indicador avaliado (cárie dentária não tratada, acesso aos serviços de Atenção Odontológica e hábitos de higiene). Quando medidas protetivas com alocação de recursos financeiras foram tomadas, as disparidades diminuíram. Concluiu-se que, frente às crises econômicas, a saúde bucal passa a não ser prioridade enquanto centro nucleador de políticas, o que impacta o acesso ao cuidado dos estratos sociais menos favorecidos.

Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze, by an integrative review of the literature, the possible impacts of financial crises on oral health indicators in different countries, as well as to verify the measures adopted in order to compare with the Brazilian reality. A search for articles that met these criteria was carried out in PUBMED, EMBASE, Lilacs, SCOPUS and also in the gray literature. At the end, nine studies were included. The results indicate that the population with higher vulnerability, lower income and lower educational level are the most affected, independently of the evaluated indicator (untreated dental caries, access to dental care services and hygiene habits). When protective measures with allocation of financial resources were taken, disparities decreased. It was concluded that, faced with economic crises, oral health is no longer a priority, which impacts access to care for the less favored social strata.
