RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento, a satisfação e autoconfiança de estudantes de cursos de graduação em Enfermagem e Medicina, que participaram da simulação realística. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo quase experimental, exploratório e analítico, sobre a utilização do método de ensino tradicional com aula expositiva e método de ensino com simulação realística. Para coleta dos dados, utilizou-se formulário de caracterização dos participantes, avaliação de conhecimento e Escala de Satisfação dos Estudantes e Autoconfiança na Aprendizagem. Análises descritiva e univariada foram conduzidas. Resultados: A cada método de ensino utilizado houve ganho de conhecimento dos participantes (p<0,001). Em relação à escala de satisfação e autoconfiança, os estudantes demonstraram satisfação e autoconfiança com a simulação realística (p<0,001). A integração do método tradicional com simulação, teoria e prática mostrou-se eficaz para a aquisição e, consequentemente, evolução do conhecimento. Conclusão: A simulação é um método que permite aprimorar o conhecimento do estudante e proporcionar maior satisfação e autoconfiança na aprendizagem. Descritores: Ensino; Exercício de simulação; Triagem; Simulação de paciente. ABSTRACTObjective: To evaluate the knowledge, satisfaction, and self-confidence of undergraduate students of Nursing and Medicine, who participated in the realistic simulation. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental, exploratory, and analytical study about the use of the traditional teaching method with expository class and teaching method with realistic simulation. To collect the data, the participants' characterization form, knowledge assessment and Student Satisfaction Scale and Self-confidence in Learning were used. Descriptive and univariate analyzes were conducted. Results: Every teaching method used there was gain of knowledge of the participants (p <0.001). Regarding the satisfaction and self-confidence scale, students demonstrated satisfaction and selfconfidence with realistic simulation (p <0.001). The integration of the traditional method with simulation, theory, and practice proved to be effective for the acquisition and, consequently, evolution of knowledge. Conclusion: The simulation is a method that allows to improve the knowledge of the student and to provide greater satisfaction and self-confidence in learning.

There is not enough scientific evidence to conclude that surgical root coverage procedures predictably reduce CDH. Well-conducted clinical trials are needed to establish scientific evidence that allows periodontists to indicate root coverage as treatment for CDH.

The prevalence of bruxism was 31.6% in this population. The factors most associated with bruxism were stress, muscle pain, TMJ pain, and TMJ noise.

The prevalence of motion sickness in schoolchildren is greater when in a car or on a bus. An association was found between motion sickness and postural balance tests and motion sickness and quality of life.

Surgical defect coverage may reduce CDH and improve patient quality of life, by keratinized gingiva augmentation and impact on physical disability, irrespective of amount of defect coverage.

BackgroundThis cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factors associated to the cervical dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in Brazilian adult population.MethodsThree hundred and eighty patients (67.2% women and 32.8% men) were assessed by questionnaire and thermal test with ice. Participants marked in a visual analogue scale (VAS) the intensity of pain, and a calibrated examiner (ICC 0.990) measured the scores using a caliper. Pain scores above 0.5 mm were considered sensitive teeth. The DH associated factors were investigated by clinical examination. The association between variables was assessed by Spearman correlation and the Chi-square test. Logistic regression was used to determine the variables that predict DH (p < 0.05).ResultsThe mean age of participants was 24.08 years. In this population, 8958 teeth were evaluated, of those 3037 (33.9%) were diagnosed sensitive. The most prevalent associated factors to DH were abnormal tooth positioning (9.0%), occlusal trauma (6.5%) and gingival recession (5.6%). The erosion predicted significantly the DH on both simple (OR 7.85, p < 0.001) and multiple(OR 4.36, p < 0.001) analysis.ConclusionThe exposure of dentinal tubules by erosion is probably the major predictor of dentin hypersensitivity. The healthy tooth is able to protect against DH.

The dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is able to impair the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL). However, there isn't any specific validated questionnaire to be used in Brazil. The objective was to adapt and to validate the English version of the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ-15) for use in Brazil. DHEQ-15 was cross-culturally adapted into the Brazilian-Portuguese language and then validated in a cross-sectional study with 100 participants recruited at a University clinic. Study sample comprised 2 groups: 100 individuals with DH, and 100 individuals without. The instrument was self-administered twice 7 to 10 days apart. The participants answered a global rating of oral health. The psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of DHEQ-15 were verified through internal consistency (Cronbach's α) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient - ICC), convergent (Spearman correlation) and discriminant (Mann-Whitney test) validity. The significance threshold was set at p<0.05. Sample comprised 69 men and 131 women, of mean age 30.4y. The Brazilian DHEQ-15 demonstrated very good internal consistency (α = 0.945). Test-retest reliability revealed excellent reproducibility (ICC = 0.959, p < 0.001). There was statistically significant correlation between the scores obtained on all DHEQ-15 domains and the global rating of oral health (p<0.001). Participants with DH scored significantly higher than those without DH (p<0.001). This study provides evidence supporting the cross-cultural validity of the Brazilian version of DHEQ-15 for use in Brazil.
