The objective of this study was to identify the factors that influence the oral health of children with autism spectrum disorder. The methodology was designed to perform an integrative literature review developed in six steps, in which the guiding question was elaborated through the PICo strategy. Thus, bibliographic searches were conducted in the PubMed, EBSCOHost and Scielo databases, in which 111 publications were found and with the application of selection criteria 25 articles were chosen for the development of this review. Oral care of children with autism spectrum disorder requires patience, attention and understanding of the degree of intellectual capacity of these children. Educational strategies aimed at guardians, educators, and people involved in the evolution of these children can be instrumental in changing oral hygiene habits and in raising awareness of the importance of prevention. Furthermore, since autism spectrum disorder is a unique condition, proper management and preparation of dental surgeons is advantageous and allows many barriers of care to be circumvented.
The main objective of this paper is to bring the child to the center of the agenda of discussions involving this context, the "three institutions of the citizen": Family, School and Church, even she - the child - does not figure as a priority on the public policy agenda of the three spheres of power (federal, states and municipalities). And also the kindergarten to the economy, culture, history, politics, health and environment, placing the care and education of early childhood as a strategic point for human and social development. This is our challenge!
The salivary glands form a group of exocrine glands that are located in the region of the oral cavity. Non-neoplastic lesions that affect the salivary glands can comprise a number of different conditions, and may have infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, autoimmune and immunological causes. This study aimed to carry out an integrative review of the most common non-neoplastic pathologies that affect the salivary glands, highlighting their main clinical, histopathological, symptomatology, etiology and treatment manifestations. The searches were carried out through the virtual platforms BVS and PUBMED, using the terms “salivary glands”, “dentistry” and “clinical diagnosis”, through the Boolean operator “AND”. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, reading the title, abstract and full article, 15 studies remained to compose this review. It is concluded that the etiology of non-neoplastic salivary gland pathologies, for the most part, remains unknown. The diagnosis of the main alterations is made by clinical analysis and the treatment for most cases is conservative.
Infrared cameras have the ability to measure infrared radiation, resulting in the generation of thermal images where each pixel refers to a different temperature value. Thermographic images allow measuring the thermal variations that can be used to obtain physiological information. This study aimed to analyze the applications of thermography in dentistry through an integrative literature review. This work is the result of research carried out in the following databases: Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, Ebsco and ScienceDirect. The following descriptors “thermography”, “dentistry” and “diagnosis were used, and 13 articles were selected to compose this work. This integrative review allowed analyzing, through several studies, the clinical applications of thermography in dentistry. Because it is a non-invasive method, this technique has a promising future in dentistry. Therefore, based on the studies already published and analyzed, it can be concluded that infrared thermography is an auxiliary tool in dental diagnosis and useful for monitoring and examining therapeutic interventions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
