Objective: To know the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis in 12 years old adolescents of schools of Pelotas/RS in 2010. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study, using for six trained examiners the recommendations of the World Health Organization. We selected an aleatory systematic sample of students from 39 municipal schools in the urban area. The tooth parameter for classification of fluorosis was recorded, and the basis, we identified products with exposure to fluoride water type and amount of dentifrice. Results: We examined 32 adolescents (86.5%) of 37 schools were randomly selected students, bringing the number of 228 (91.2% of total). There were no cases of moderate or severe fluorosis and only 2 cases of mild fluorosis. The conditions that more it prevailed were questionable fluorosis (68.4%) and very mild (21%) being the upper premolars the most affected, with 122 observations (59.2%). The type of water reported by the scholars as the more consumed was a public supply (75.5%); and the amount of used toothpaste was 0,75g or more (86%). There was no significant statistical association between the presence of dental fluorosis and dentifrice in use above the recommended amount. Conclusion: We observed high prevalence and low severity of dental fluorosis; expected situation where levels of fluoride in public water supplies are the recommended, as is the case of Pelotas. Most of the students reported using amount of dentifrice indicated above. His contribution in the prevalence of dental fluorosis should be investigated by means of others designs studies
Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar as endodontias realizadas em uma Unidade de Saúde do Serviço de Saúde Comunitária do Grupo Hospitalar Conceição. Trata-se de um estudo com base em avaliações clínicas e radiográficas dos tratamentos realizados entre os anos de 2004 a 2014. No período foram identificados 260 tratamentos endodônticos realizados, dos quais foram avaliados 149 (57,0%). As mulheres representaram 64,4% dos examinados, sendo a faixa etária predominante a de 40 a 59 anos (48,3%). A maioria dos dentes tratados apresentava um canal (71,1%) e, em grande parte dos casos, o tratamento foi realizado em duas sessões (67,1%). A endodontia de pré-molares totalizou 84 dentes (56,3%), sendo que, estes também representaram a maior parcela dos dentes perdidos. No momento da avaliação, do total de dentes avaliados, 25 dentes foram perdidos. Os pré-molares correspondiam a 18 (72,0%) dentes. A permanência do dente em boca foi considerada como o principal desfecho. No estudo a taxa de sobrevida dos tratamentos avaliados foi de 86,0%. Por fim, vale ressaltar que analisar esta proposta de intervenção pode trazer contribuições para a criação de protocolos com o intuito ofertar esta técnica em nível de Atenção Básica.
