RESUMO

A assistência odontológica é imprescindível para a prevenção de doenças infecciosas e para a manutenção da integridade da cavidade oral de pacientes internatos em unidades de terapia intensiva. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento e as práticas de higiene oral dos acadêmicos do curso de Enfermagem de uma instituição de ensino superior, que realizam estágio em hospital, no controle de higiene bucal de pacientes internados em ambiente hospitalar. Participaram do estudo 40 alunos, que responderam 14 perguntas com o intuito de avaliar o conhecimento e as práticas no controle de higiene bucal, realizadas por eles, em pacientes internados em ambiente hospitalar. Os resultados demonstraram que os acadêmicos entrevistados tinham idade média de 25,8 anos, sendo 95% do sexo feminino e apenas 5% do sexo masculino. Destes, 42,5% afirmaram não haver presença de um Cirurgião-Dentista em ambiente hospitalar e 82,5% responderam que o responsável pela saúde bucal dos pacientes é do técnico de enfermagem. Quanto aos cuidados em pacientes internados em UTI, 52,5% dos entrevistados relataram que estes pacientes recebem higienização bucal, porém 30% alegaram que esta pratica não era realizada e 17,5% não sabiam responder. Além disso, 47,5% dos entrevistados afirmam ter insegurança ao realizar os procedimentos de higiene bucal dos pacientes. Pode-se concluir que os acadêmicos entrevistados possuem bom conhecimento acerca da importância dos cuidados com a saúde bucal dos pacientes internados em ambiente hospitalar. No entanto, ainda existem muitas dúvidas relacionadas ao manejo clínico de procedimentos de promoção de saúde bucal, que poderiam ser solucionados com a presença de um profissional de Odontologia inserido em uma equipe multidisciplinar(AU)

Oral care is essential for the prevention of infectious diseases and for maintaining the integrity of the oral cavity of patients hospitalized in intensive care units. The objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and oral hygiene practices of Nursing students at a higher education institution, who carry out internships in a hospital, in controlling the oral hygiene of patients admitted to a hospital environment. 40 students participated in the study, who answered 14 questions with the aim of evaluating the knowledge and practices in controlling oral hygiene, carried out by them, on patients hospitalized in a hospital environment. The results demonstrated that the academics interviewed had an average age of 25.8 years, with 95% being female and only 5% being male. Of these, 42.5% stated that there was no presence of a Dental Surgeon in a hospital environment and 82.5% responded that the nursing technician is responsible for the patients' oral health. Regarding care for patients admitted to the ICU, 52.5% of those interviewed reported that these patients receive oral hygiene, however 30% claimed that this practice was not performed and 17.5% did not know how to answer. Furthermore, 47.5% of those interviewed say they are insecure when carrying out oral hygiene procedures for patients. It can be concluded that the academics interviewed have good knowledge about the importance of oral health care for patients hospitalized in a hospital environment. However, there are still many doubts related to the clinical management of oral health promotion procedures, which could be resolved with the presence of a dentistry professional within a multidisciplinary team(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: Relatar o processo de diagnóstico e tratamento de um queratocisto odontogênico (QO) em seio maxilar e a sua importância na investigação e diagnóstico de Síndrome de Gorlin-Goltz (SGG). Relato de caso: Paciente do gênero feminino, 20 anos, apresentou-se no serviço de odontologia encaminhada pela equipe de genética médica para investigar a presença de QO para definição de diagnóstico de SGG. Foi realizada radiografia panorâmica e verificou-se a presença de alterações no trabeculado ósseo em tuberosidade maxilar do lado esquerdo. Por isso, foi solicitada a tomografia computadorizada de seios maxilares e encontrou-se uma lesão bem delimitada, ocupando quase completamente o seio maxilar esquerdo em íntimo contato com a raiz do dente 27. Portanto, foi realizada biópsia incisional da lesão, acompanhada da aspiração do conteúdo. Na aspiração foi obtido um conteúdo de característica caseosa sugestivo de queratina. O laudo histopatológico da lesão foi de cisto odontogênico. Com isso, foram realizados os procedimentos de exodontia do dente 27 e a enucleação da lesão em seio maxilar pela equipe da odontologia e da otorrinolaringologia, respectivamente, em centro cirúrgico. O laudo histopatológico confirmou a presença de QO, assim foi possível confirmar o diagnóstico da SGG pela equipe da genética médica. A paciente não apresentou sinais de recidiva e nem de novos QO após 2 anos do procedimento. Considerações finais: A SGG requer atenção odontológica especial, visto a alta taxa de QO nos pacientes com essa síndrome. Exame odontológico minucioso envolvendo exame clínico e exames radiográficos devem ser realizado nas consultas de seguimento.

Objective: To report the process of diagnosis and treatment of an odontogenic keratocyst (OK) in the maxillary sinus and its importance in the investigation and diagnosis of Gorlin-Goltz Syndrome (GGS). Case report: A 20-year-old female patient presented at the Dentistry and Stomatology service, referred by the Medical Genetics team to investigate the presence of OK to define the diagnosis of GGS. Panoramic radiography was performed and the presence of alterations in the bone trabeculae in the maxillary tuberosity on the left side was verified. For this reason, computed tomography of the maxillary sinuses was also requested and a well-defined lesion was found, occupying almost completely the left maxillary sinus in close contact with the root of tooth 27. Therefore, an incisional biopsy of the lesion was performed, accompanied by puncture of the same. In the puncture, a characteristic caseous content suggestive of keratin was obtained. The histopathological report of the lesion was described by the pathologist as an odontogenic cyst. With this, tooth extraction procedures for tooth 27 and enucleation of the lesion in the maxillary sinus were carried out by the dentistry and otorhinolaryngology teams, respectively, in a surgical center. The histopathological report confirmed the presence of OK, so it was possible to confirm the diagnosis of GGS by the medical genetics team. The patient showed no signs of recurrence or new OK after 2 years of the procedure. Final considerations: GGS requires special dental attention, given the high rate of OK in patients with this syndrome. A thorough dental examination involving clinical examination and radiographic examinations should be performed at follow-up visits.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the impact of providing dental care to critically ill patients on their risk of death and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2 intensive care units (ICU) from 2016 to 2019. The intervention consisted of implementing routine dental care, focusing on oral hygiene and periodontal treatment, at least 3 times a week, for patients admitted to the study units. In the pre-intervention period, routine oral hygiene was provided by the ICU nursing staff. The primary and secondary study outcomes were mortality, evaluated at the end of the ICU stay, and VAP incidence density, respectively. Data were analyzed using the ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average) time series model in R software. RESULTS: During the intervention period, 5,147 dental procedures were performed among 355 patients. The time series showed that ICU mortality was 36.11%, 32.71%, and 32.30% within the 3 years before the intervention, and 28.71% during the intervention period (P = .015). VAP incidence density did not significantly change during the study period (P = .716). CONCLUSION: A dental care intervention focused on oral hygiene and periodontal treatment regularly provided by dentists to critically ill patients may decrease their risk of dying in the ICU. Randomized clinical trials should be performed to confirm these findings. TRIAL REGISTRATION: WHO-affiliated Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry. RBR-4jmz36.

RESUMO

Esta dissertação é uma revisão da literatura que aborda a atenção em saúde bucal no ambiente hospitalar, com ênfase na atenção clínica odontológica prestada ao paciente sob regime de internação. Tem por finalidade identificar as principais contribuições dessa assistência no atendimento à saúde do paciente hospitalizado, além de relatar os principais aspectos normativos e legislativos relativos à atenção clínica odontológica no Brasil, com foco no atendimento aos princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Para isso, foram consultadas fontes como documentos do Ministério da Saúde, literatura cinzenta, além de quatro bases de dados. Os principais resultados da pesquisa, de forma geral, apontam para as diferentes necessidades em saúde bucal e cuidados odontológicos ao paciente sob regime de internação, a exemplo de pacientes a serem submetidos a tratamento oncológico, onco-hematológico, transplantes, cirurgias médicas, como a cirurgia cardíaca, pacientes portadores de transtornos psiquiátricos, neurológicos, pacientes idosos, dependentes de cuidados, pacientes cuja nutrição possa estar sendo comprometida devido a problemas bucais, portadores de alterações sistêmicas como diabetes, doença renal crônica, dentre outros. Esta atenção pode contemplar atividades preventivas, diagnósticas e terapêuticas com a finalidade de contribuir com o cuidado integral ao paciente hospitalizado e se caracteriza pela atuação do cirurgião-dentista em diferentes espaços hospitalares, incluindo ambiente de enfermarias e atendimento em unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI). Os pacientes podem apresentar, durante o período de internação, problemas e complicações bucais relacionadas à dor, inflamação, infecções, lesões em mucosa oral, manifestações bucais relacionadas a doenças sistêmicas ou à terapia a qual o paciente é submetido, o que corrobora com a potencial possibilidade de contribuição da odontologia neste lócus. Observa-se a interdisciplinaridade como um ponto-chave desta prática, e também um desafio relacionado à atuação e à formação profissional. Apesar dos avanços normativos, um outro desafio observado encontra-se na ampliação do acesso dos usuários do SUS a este cuidado. Com a finalidade de propor a melhoria desta assistência e qualificação do cuidado prestado ao paciente hospitalizado, sugere-se realização de mais estudos e pesquisas direcionadas à atuação do cirurgião-dentista nas UTIs, além de pesquisas relacionadas a protocolos, diretrizes e consensos sobre melhores práticas de cuidados bucais e de atenção odontológica ao paciente hospitalizado. Sugere-se também investimento na capacitação profissional de equipes odontológicas já atuantes nos hospitais da rede SUS.

This academic paper is a review of the literature on oral health care in the hospital setting, with a focus on clinical assistance provided to hospitalized patients. Its goal is to identify the main contributions of this type of health care assistance to hospitalized patients, as well as to report on the major normative and legislative aspects related to clinical dental care in Brazil, with a focus on the SUS system's (Sistema Único de Saúde) principles. Because of this specific interest, sources such as Ministry of Health documents, gray literature, and other four different types of main databases were consulted. The main findings point to the various needs in oral health and dental care of hospitalized patients, such as those undergoing oncological, onco-hematological treatment, transplants, and medical surgeries such as cardiac surgery. Patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders, elderly patients requiring care, others whose nutrition may have been compromised due to oral problems, patients with systemic alterations such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and others are also included. Proper attention may include preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic activities to contribute to the comprehensive, supportive, and whole assistance for hospitalized patients characterized by the performance of the dental professional in various hospital centers, including hospital ward environments and assistance in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Patients may present oral problems and complications related to pain, inflammation, infections, oral mucosa lesions, oral manifestations related to systemic diseases or to the therapy to which the patient is subjected during the hospitalization period, corroborating the potential contribution of dentistry in this locus. Interdisciplinarity is seen as a key feature of this practice, as well as a challenge in terms of professional performance and training. Despite normative progress, another challenge observed is the expansion of SUS users' access to this care. Further studies and research on the performance of the dentist in ICUs, as well as research on protocols, guidelines, and consensus on best practices of oral care and dental care to hospitalized patients, are suggested in order to propose improvements to this assistance and qualification of care provided to hospitalized patients. As a result, investment is unquestionably required and also recommended for dental teams that are already working in hospitals in the SUS system.

RESUMO

Accidents involving dental prostheses are unusual but relevant, which may result in complications in the upper respiratory airways and esophagus. A 47-year-old male patient with Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD), completely dependent on care, was reported by his family to have a partial obstruction and intraoral bleeding after swallowing his upper Removable Partial Denture (RPD). After difficulties in the endoscopy procedure, a surgical approach by exploratory cervicotomy to remove the prosthetic device was conducted, without postoperative complications. Considering individual impairments and the patients' advanced age, the removal of dental prostheses during sleep or for patients under intensive care is a preventive strategy to reduce comorbidities in patients with unstable health conditions.

RESUMO

Objetivos: avaliar qual a visão de enfermeiros (E) e técnicos de enfermagem (TE) sobre a importância dos cuidados em higiene bucal de pacientes internados; verificar se a remoção do biofilme dental é realizada nos pacientes; e comparar a visão destes profissionais em dois hospitais de Passo Fundo, RS. Materiais e método: a seleção dos profissionais E e TE foi feita através de randomização eletrônica. A coleta dos dados foi através de questionário, aplicado na forma de entrevista. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados (Excel) e apresentados em percentuais. Foram entrevistados 31 TE e 20 E, distribuídos no Hospital de Clínicas (TE=15; E=10) e no Hospital São Vicente de Paulo (TE=16; E=10). Os profissionais eram das unidades de pediatria, oncologia, emergência, maternidade, posto de atendimento geral e outros. Resultados: todos os profissionais consideraram importante a higiene bucal dos pacientes, mas a higienização e a avaliação da cavidade bucal não são realizadas em todas as situações. Os técnicos de enfermagem e os enfermeiros de ambos os hospitais consideraram muito importante a higiene bucal dos pacientes hospitalizados. Conclusão: a realização da remoção do biofilme dental, embora relevante, não é realizada com a frequência preconizada para a manutenção da saúde bucal dos pacientes, reforçando a necessidade do profissional cirurgião-dentista na equipe hospitalar.(AU)

This study aimed to evaluate how is the view of the nurses (N) and technicians´ (T) about the importance of the oral hygiene to admitted patients; to check if the dental biofilm control methods are done in the patients; and to compare the professionals' view of these professionals in two hospitals, in Passo Fundo, RS. The N ant T professionals' selection was made by electronic randomization. The data collect was performed through a questionnaire applied as an interview. Thirty-one T and twenty N were interviewed, distributed at the Clinical Hospital (T=15; N=10) and at the São Vicente de Paulo Hospital (T=16; N.=10). The professionals were from the pediatrics, oncology, emergency, maternity, general care and other units. All of them disclaimed important the patients' oral hygiene, but hygiene and oral cavity evaluation were not made always. Nursing technicians and nurses from both hospitals consider the oral hygiene of admitted patients very important. The research showed that dental biofilm removal, although relevant, it is not performed as often as recommended to maintain the oral health of patients, stepping up the Dentist professional in the hospitalar team.(AU)

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical model to describe the role that the dentist plays in Brazilian hospital settings. This qualitative study was based on the grounded theory research method. Participants were a total of 27 individuals in three groups: dentists and general practice and oral and maxillofacial surgery residents; faculty; and other health professionals who interacted with dental patients in the hospital setting during the 2012-13 year. Data were collected in three teaching hospitals in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, through scripted interviews using open-ended questions. The stages of collection, codification, ordination, and integration of data were guided by constant comparative techniques to formulate a theoretical model. The codes generated were organized into seven categories: identifying the hospital as a working and teaching environment; recalling the dentists' professional pathways; reflecting on the dentist's work in the hospital; considering the political and organizational dimension of the role of the dentist in the hospital; understanding patients' life and health contexts; education and professional practice; and moving on towards interdisciplinary practices in the hospital setting. Integrating the categories led to a theoretical model called "The Dentist's Role in the Hospital Setting: An Interdisciplinary Construction." This theoretical model provides a framework to understand how dentists perform in the hospital setting, with a focus on interdisciplinary practice, which in this study was shown to be incipient and heterogeneous.

RESUMO

Resumen: La leucemia se encuentra entre los trastornos oncológicos más comunes en la primera década de vida. Ésta se caracteriza por la producción excesiva de células inmaduras linfocíticas no funcionales denominadas blastos que invaden el torrente sanguíneo produciendo consecuencias fatales. Se trata de un padecimiento grave y mortal si no es tratado oportunamente. Entre sus manifestaciones más comunes se encuentran: la palidez generalizada, las linfadenopatías, hemorragias espontáneas, lesiones vasculares como moretones o petequias, malestar general, pérdida de peso y manifestaciones estomatológicas específicas como palidez de mucosa oral, los infiltrados leucocitarios, gingivorragias o aparición de petequias en algunos sitios de la boca. En el presente artículo se informa el caso de una niña de cinco años de edad diagnosticada con leucemia aguda linfoblástica precursora de células B, quien fue sometida a rehabilitación bucal bajo anestesia general, pues presentaba múltiples focos infecciosos en sus dientes que contraindicaban el inicio de su tratamiento de quimioterapia.

Abstract: Leukemia is one of the most common oncological disorders found in the first decade of life. It is characterized by the excessive production of non-functional immature lymphocytic cells, called blasts, which invade the bloodstream causing fatal consequences. Unless timely treated, it is a deadly, severe condition. Its more common manifestations are the following: generalized paleness, spontaneous hemorrhaging, vascular lesions such as bruises and petechiae, general malaise, weight loss, and specific stomatological manifestations such as oral mucosa paleness, leukocyte infiltrate gingivorrhageor apparition of petechiae in some locations of the mouth. The present article documents the case of a five year old girl, diagnosed with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The child was subjected to oral rehabilitation under general anesthesia due to the fact that she exhibited multiple infectious foci in her teeth which contraindicated initiation of chemotherapy treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of taste in HIV-infected patients. METHOD: One hundred males and females (11 to 60 years old) were divided into two groups (50 patients infected by HIV and 50 controls) and evaluated for gustatory function. RESULTS: The results revealed that the mean score in the evaluation of taste was significantly lower in individuals with HIV when compared to controls for both sides of the tongue (p < 0.05). Patients with HIV infection had difficulty recognizing the bitter taste, followed by salty and sweet. When each side of the tongue was evaluated separately and compared, the Wilcoxon test showed that there was no significant difference on the tongue of individuals with HIV. The prevalence of hypogeusia was 20% in individuals with this disease. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with HIV infection may have a deficit in taste that can affect your general and oral health.

RESUMO

Introdução: a Odontologia vem conquistando um espaço fundamental no ambiente hospitalar, especialmente nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), onde o cirurgião-dentista (CD) atua em diversas situações, sendo desde o diagnóstico de patologias bucais até os diversos procedimentos necessários para a saúde bucal e a manutenção da qualidade de vida do paciente. Dentre as complicações bucais que podem ocorrer em paciente desse perfil estão as lesões traumáticas, que quando presentes, requerem tratamento e acompanhamento odontológico. Objetivo: o presente caso ilustra a atuação do CD em uma UTI neurológica onde uma paciente em estadio avançado de câncer de mama apresentou uma úlcera traumática em lábio inferior requerendo planejamento preventivo e tratamento para a afecção. Método: trata-se de um relato de caso com método descritivo. Resultados e Discussão: a paciente seguiu acompanhada pela equipe de um Hospital privado que assistia aos pacientes uma vez ao dia, entretanto, quando ocorreu um novo trauma não havia um CD de plantão e a gravidade foi maior. Conclusão: diante disso, com este artigo enfatizamos a importância da presença integral de um CD na UTI com o intuito de minimizar as complicações bucais e proporcionar melhor qualidade de vida ao paciente.

Introduction: dentistry has been gaining a fundamental place in the hospital environment, especially in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), where the dental surgeon (CD) acts in several situations, ranging from the diagnosis of oral pathologies to the various procedures required for oral health And maintenance of the patient's quality of life. Among the oral complications that may occur in patients with this profile are traumatic lesions, which, when present, require dental treatment and follow-up. Objective: the present case illustrates the performance of CD in a neurological ICU where an advanced stage breast cancer patient presented a traumatic ulcer on the lower lip requiring preventive planning and treatment for the condition. Method: this is a case report with a descriptive method. Results and Discussion: the patient was followed by the staff of a private hospital who attended the patients once a day. However, when a new trauma occurred, there was not on-call CD and the severity was greater. Conclusion: therefore, with this article we emphasize the importance of the integral presence of a CD in the ICU in order to minimize oral complications and provide a better quality of life for the patient.

RESUMO

A doença periodontal, dentre outros fatores de riscos, pode ser um provável contribuinte de agravos sistêmicos. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever os fatores associados a doença periodontal em indivíduos hospitalizados no Hospital Geral Clériston Andrade, na cidade de Feira de Santana, Bahia. Trata-se de estudo exploratório em amostra de 100 indivíduos divididos em dois grupos, de acordo o diagnóstico da doença periodontal: Grupo 1 gengivite/periodontite leve (n igual 56); e Grupo 2 periodontite moderada/grave (n igual 44). Informações sociodemográficas e sobre saúde geral e bucal foram obtidas por meio de questionários estruturados e fichas de prontuários arquivados no hospital. Exame clínico periodontal foi realizado por único cirurgião-dentista treinado para obtenção precisa das medidas bucais. Mediante análise de regressão de Poisson múltipla hierarquizada, influência dos fatores de estudo sobre a doença periodontal foi testada separadamente por níveis. Os achados evidenciaram no modelo final que, além da precária condição bucal dos indivíduos hospitalizados, houve influência das variáveis idade, infecção do trato respiratório e hábito de fumar (p<0,10). No entanto, apenas idade apresentou-se estatisticamente associada à periodontite moderada/grave (RP igual 4,67; IC 95 porcento: 2,73-7,99). Concluiu-se que o impacto de fatores clássicos sob a condição periodontal reforça a adoção de práticas mais efetivas de educação em saúde bucal e cuidados de higiene em pacientes hospitalizados como rotina diária por equipe capacitada e multiprofissional.

Periodontal disease, among other risk factors, may be a likely contributor to systemic disease. The present study had the aim of describing factors associated with periodontal disease among individuals hospitalized at Clériston Andrade General Hospital, in the city of Feira de Santana, Bahia. This is an exploratory study was conducted on a sample of 100 individuals, who were divided into two groups according to their diagnosis of periodontal disease: Group 1: gingivitis/ mild periodontitis (n equal 56); and Group 2: moderate/severe periodontitis (n equal 44). Sociodemographic and general and oral health information was obtained from structured questionnaires and the medical files archived at the hospital. Clinical periodontal examinations were performed by asingle dental surgeon who had been trained to obtain precise oral measurements. Through hierarchical Poisson multiple regression analysis, the influence of the study factors on periodontal disease was tested separately for the hierarchical levels. The findings from the final model showed that, In addition to poor oral health among the hospitalized individuals, the variables of age, respiratory tract infection and smoking habit had an influence (p<0.10). However, only age showed a statistical association with moderate/severe periodontitis (PR equal 4.67; 95 percent CI: 2.73-7.99). It was concluded that the impact of classic factors on periodontal condition emphasizes that oral health education and hygiene care practices with greater effectiveness should be used among hospitalized patients, as the daily routine for the capacitated multiprofessional team.

La enfermedad periodontal, entre otros factores de riesgo, puede ser un factor probable que las enfermedades sistémicas El objetivo de este trabajo es describir los factores asociados con la enfermedad periodontal en individuos hospitalizados en el Hospital General deClériston Andrade, de la ciudad de Feira de Santana, Bahía. Este es un estudio exploratorio en uma muestra de 100 pacientes divididos en dos grupos, según el diagnóstico de la enfermedad periodontal: Grupo 1: gingivitis / periodontitis leve (n igual 56) y Grupo 2: periodontitis moderada /grave (n igual 44). La información sociodemográficos sobre la salud general y bucal se obtuvieron mediante cuestionarios estructurados y registros médicos presentados en los registros del hospital. El examen clínico fue realizado por un dentista calibrado para obtener medidas exactas de la boca. Mediante análisis de regresión de Poisson la influencia de múltiples factores sobre la enfermedad periodontal fue probado por niveles separados. Los resultados mostraron en el modelo final que, además del mal estado de salud bucal de los pacientes hospitalizados, hubo influencia de lãs variables edad, la infección del tracto respiratorio y el tabaquismo (p<0.10). Sin embargo, sólo la edad fue estadísticamente asociado con periodontitis moderada/grave (RP igual 4,67, IC 95por ciento: 2,73 a 7,99). Se concluyó que el impacto de los factores clásicos de la enfermedad periodontal refuerza la adopción de una educación para la salud bucal más eficaz y cuidado de la higiene bucal em pacientes hospitalizados como rutina diaria de un equipo capacitado y polivalente.
