ResumoIntrodução: As condições de saúde bucal de crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados são preocupantes em virtude do aumento da suscetibilidade de problemas bucais devido ao período de internação. Objetivo: Avaliar a condição de saúde bucal de crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados. Material e método: Esta pesquisa tratou-se de um estudo do tipo transversal, composta por uma amostra de 51 crianças e adolescentes hospitalizadas. Foi avaliada as condições de saúde bucal dos pacientes através do Índice de Sangramento Gengival (ISG), Índice de Dentes Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados, na dentição decídua e permanente, (CPOD/ceo-d) e identificação de alterações estomatológicas. Os dados foram coletados através de uma entevista e avaliação clínica. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 7,39 anos. A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino (n = 23; 52,3%). Quase metade dos pacientes não realizava a higiene bucal no hospital (n = 18; 40,9%). As médias de CPO-D, ceo-d e ISG foram, respectivamente, 2,77 (±3,47), 2,54 (±2,92) e 5,86 (±7,58). Verificou-se correlação positiva e significativa entre idade, CPO-D (r =0,582; p < 0,01) e ISG (r = 0,552; p < 0,01). Conclusão: Foi constatada a deficiência das condições de saúde oral das crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados, enfatizando dessa forma os cuidados com a saúde bucal no ambiente hospitalar.

AbstractIntroduction: The oral health conditions of hospitalized children and adolescents are worrisome due to the increase in the susceptibility of oral problems due to the period of hospitalization. Objective: To evaluate the oral health status of hospitalized children and adolescents. Material and methods: This study was a cross-sectional study, comprising a sample of 51 hospitalized children and adolescents. The oral health conditions of the patients were evaluated through the Gingival Bleeding Index (ISG), Caries, Lost and Sealed Index of the deciduous and permanent dentition (CPOD / ceo-d) and identification of stomatological alterations. Data were collected through an interview and clinical evaluation. Results: The mean age was 7.39 years. The majority of the patients were female (n = 23; 52.3%). Almost half of the patients did not perform oral hygiene in the hospital (n = 18, 40.9%). The mean CPO-D, ceo-d and ISG were, respectively, 2.77 (± 3.47), 2.54 (± 2.92) and 5.86 (± 7.58). There was a positive and significant correlation between age, CPO-D (r = 0.582, p <0.01) and ISG (r = 0.552, p <0.01). Conclusion: It was verified the deficiency of the oral health conditions of hospitalized children and adolescents, emphasizing in this way oral health care in the hospital environment.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the acupressure in reducing the dental pain that may omit the need for dental injection. Materials and Methods:A total of 10 patients who were treated by preparing vital abutments to provide them with fixed prosthesis after the metal try-in stage. Ethical form was approved from the department of substitutive dental science and the ethics committee of research. Consent form also was signed by the participants before proceeding on the procedure. Illustrative videos and photos were provided to the patients to get an idea about the acupressure procedure. Pain scale was determined before and after pressing on the related points. The point was determined according to the tooth being treated using dental ball burnisher, and one piece of pepper was fixed on that point with a tape and started stimulation for at least 30 seconds then tooth preparation was initiated. Statistical data analysis was conducted via SPSS version 23.0 (IBM, USA).Results: Using acupressure instead of dental injection during metal try-in stage for dental fixed prosthesis was significantly effective (P≤0.011). There were more than 60% patients who believed in this new technique and none of them have any knowledge about the acupressure treatment. Conclusion: Acupressure could be a way to reduce dental pain, and thus reduce the need for dental injection before metal try-in in Fixed Prosthodontics.Clinical significance: Acupressure can achieve a significant and clinically meaningful reduction of anxiety in dental patients.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão integrativa acerca do uso do ozônio como terapia auxiliar no tratamento endodôntico. As buscas dos artigos foram feitas nas bases: Scielo e Pubmed. Foram considerados como critérios de inclusão, artigos publicados entre 2016 a 2021, com acesso on-line. As chaves de busca utilizadas foram: Ozone and root canal and endodontic e Ozone and canal radicular. 88 artigos foram encontrados nas bases de dados selecionadas, após triagem por título e resumo de 26 estudos foram selecionados, dentre eles, 17 foram selecionados para leitura completa;11 artigos foram excluídos por não estarem disponíveis para a leitura completa em PDF e 6 estudos foram incluídos para a presente revisão integrativa. As formas de utilização do ozônio no presente estudo foram:a água ozonizada e o gás de ozônio. A utilização do ozônio demonstrou resultados positivos, na maioria dos estudos, nas duas formas aplicadas quando comparado ao uso apenas dos irrigantes convencionais.
