Objetivo: verificar a correlação dos fatores comportamentais na ocorrência de cárie severa. Sujeitos e método: a amostra foi composta de 25 crianças de 6 a 71 meses, atendidas na Clínica Materno Infantil da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de Passo Fundo. O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas: entrevista e exame clínico. A entrevista avaliou os hábitos alimentares e de higiene bucal, as variáveis demográficas e o acesso ao flúor. O exame clínico avaliou a presença de cárie severa (incluindo manchas brancas). Resultados: as principais características das crianças da amostra foram idade superior a 24 meses, menor escolaridade materna, prática da amamentação natural e uso da mamadeira, inclusive com sacarose, além daqueles indivíduos que não realizavam escovação noturna. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na média de ceo-d para nenhum dos fatores em estudo. Conclusão: pode-se concluir que há a necessidade de formar profissionais voltados não apenas ao tratamento, mas também à prevenção das doenças na cavidade oral, como a cárie, mas, para que isso ocorra, é de extrema importância que se conheça o perfil das crianças que necessitam de maior cuidado.
ObjectiveCharacterizing the profile of patients seen at the Maternal and Child Clinic from the University of Passo Fundo Dental School.Methods 694 records were evaluated in the years 2000 to 2011. Demographic (gender, age and place of residency), clinical and therapeutic variables (previous dental experience, caries, reason for dental appointment, procedures performed, number of appointments and completion of treatment) were collected for descriptive statistical analysis and associations. ResultsThere was a higher demand for treatment from male children (51.4%) aged 25 to 36 months (61.4%), being 86% of patients from Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul. It was also found that 51% of patients had caries and the main reason for dental appointment was treating such lesion (43.2%). Among the most commonly performed procedures, the non-invasive treatments (49.4%) were the ones that occurred more frequently. Regarding the studied variables, there was an association between children aged 25 -36 months, living in Passo Fundo, and caries treatment. ConclusionThe evaluated and associated data allowed the definition of the profile of patients seen at the Maternal and Child Clinic. The great majority of patients were male subjects aged 25 -36 months, from Passo Fundo, and who had not undergone previous dental treatment, being caries the major reason for appointment. This study traces the profile of patients and reinforces the need for early preventive treatment and proposals for this age group, aiming at decreasing the need for treatment and reducing diseases in children.Indexing terms: Community Dentistry. Epidemiology. Pediatric dentistry. RESUMO ObjetivoCaracterizar o perfil do paciente atendido na clínica materno-infantil da FO-UPF. MétodosAvaliaram-se 694 prontuários de 2000 a 2011. As variáveis demográficas (gênero, idade e procedência), clínicas e terapêuticas (experiência odontológica anterior, experiência de cárie, motivo da consulta, procedimentos realizados, número de consultas e conclusão do tratamento), foram coletadas para análise estatística descritiva, e associações. ResultadosObservou-se maior procura de atendimento de crianças do gênero masculino (51,4%), com idade entre 25 a 36 meses (61,4%) e que 86% dos pacientes residiam em Passo Fundo-RS. Verificou-se também que, 51% apresentavam cárie e que o principal motivo das consultas foi tratamento da cárie dental (43,2%). Dentre os procedimentos mais realizados, os tratamentos não invasivos (49,4%) foram os mais verificados. Em relação as variáveis estudadas foi encontrada associação entre as crianças que residiam em Passo Fundo, possuíam entre 25 a 36 meses e buscaram atendimento para tratar lesões cariosas.
Objective: to compare the image quality obtained by six cameras used for dental documentation, including four DSLR cameras and two smartphones with different sensor size. Methods: the equipment determined the groups: APSCcan18-55 – Sensor APS-C Canon (EOS T5i) + 18-55 mm lens; APSCcan100 – Sensor APS-C Canon (EOS T5i) + 100 mm macro lens; APSCnik18-55 – Sensor APS-C Nikon (D5100) + 18-55 mm lens; APSCnik100 – Sensor APS-C Nikon (D5100) + 100 mm macro lens; ip1/3” – iPhone with 1/3-inch sensor; ga1/2.6”- Galaxy with 1/2.6-inch sensor. Two set of images -“dental documentation” and “small objects”- were obtained. The photographs were evaluated by three groups: US, undergraduate students; DS, dentists; and DP, dentists with photography experience. Scores between 0 and 10 were assigned. The results were compared by RM Anova and Tukey (α = 0.05). Results: the highest overall scores were obtained with APSCnik100 (8.5). For “dental documentation”, APSCcan18-55 and APSCnik18-55 showed the lowest values, even compared to ga1/2.6” (for US, DS and DP evaluators) and ip1/3” (for US evaluators). For “small objects”, DSLRs resulted in higher mean values compared to smartphones for US and DS. Conclusions: DSLR cameras with 18-55 mm lens and no circular flash should not be used for documentation photographs. DSLR cameras, regardless of lens, are superior to smartphones for small objects photographs.
