“…No Brasil, a prevalência em crianças é de 53,4% e em adolescentes, de 56,5%. A cárie dentária é uma das doenças orais mais pesquisadas (BÖNECKER et al, 2013) e resulta de um processo crônico, que ocorre após um certo período de exposição a uma dieta cariogênica e da susceptibilidade dos dentes a microrganismos. A cárie é considerada uma condição multifatorial transmitida localmente e é uma das patologias mais comuns na infância (ARORA et al, 2011;HARRIS, 2012).…”

RESUMOEsse trabalho teve o objetivo de desenvolver um aplicativo para dispositivos móveis, com o intuito de contribuir para as campanhas educativas de saúde bucal no município de Remígio-PB. O estudo foi desenvolvido com alunos das turmas do 9° ano em duas escolas municipais da zona urbana. Inicialmente, foi apresentado o aplicativo de cunho informativo para o total de 100 alunos e em seguida, foram aplicados dois questionários. O primeiro questionário tratava sobre o conhecimento que os alunos tinham em relação à saúde bucal e o segundo tratava sobre a aceitação do aplicativo para dispositivos móveis. Para a elaboração do aplicativo foi utilizada a plataforma Android Studio (versão 27.1.1) e para a criação de aplicativos nessa plataforma, utilizou-se a programação em JAVA. Observou-se que cerca de 31% dos alunos já tiveram alguma doença bucal, e apenas duas enfermidades já haviam sido contraídas pelos estudantes, destacando-se a cárie, com 66% e a afta com 34%. 32% dos alunos afirmaram que sabem os fatores causadores das doenças bucais, e 89% afirmaram que sabem como prevenir essas doenças bucais. 34% dos alunos acharam as informações do aplicativo relevantes e 66,1% acham que as chances de contrair alguma doença causada pela má higiene bucal iria diminuir caso esse aplicativo fosse disponibilizado para a população. 48% dos alunos avaliaram o aplicativo como "Bom". Conclui-se que os resultados alcançados foram bastante positivos em relação à aceitação do aplicativo, que tem o intuito de divulgar informações e tem o objetivo de ajudar nas campanhas educativas sobre a saúde bucal.

The study was developed with students of the 9th grade class in two municipal schools in the urban zone. Initially, the informative application was presented for the total of 100 students and then two questionnaires were applied. The first questionnaire dealt with students' knowledge of oral health and the second was about accepting the mobile application. For the elaboration of the application was used the platform Android Studio (version 27.1.1) and for the creation of applications in this platform, was used the programming in JAVA. It was observed that about 31% of the students already had some oral disease, and only two diseases had been contracted by the students, especially caries, with 66% and the cold sore with 34%. 32% of the students said they know the

Prosopis africana (Guill. & Perr.) Taub. (Fabaceae) is used in the herbal medicine of Burkina Faso to treat dental caries. This study aims to contribute to the valorization of the said plant by investigating the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of aqueous leaves and stems extracts. The inhibitory activity on lipoxygenase was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of the extracts. The antioxidant activity of bots extracts of the plant was assessed using DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS+ radical cation decolorization. The anti-biofilm effect of the extracts was evaluated on Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAOI and the anti-Quorum sensing effect on Chromobacterium CV026. Aqueous extracts of Prosopis africana stems show the highest content of phenolic compounds (30,04± 0,59 mgAGE/100 mg extract) while those of the leaves show the highest content of total flavonoids (3.29 ± 0.53 mgQE/100mg extract). The aqueous extract of stem bark show the strongest antioxidant activity ( IC50 = 4.58±0.07µg/ml for the ABTS) , a best Inhibitory action on activity of lipoxygenase (IC50 = 13.42 ± 1.26 μg/mL ), a highest anti-biofilm activity ( 63.6%; at the concentration of 100µg/ml) without affecting the bacterial growth. In addition, this extract has the strongest anti-quorum sensing activity with an percentage of inhibition 53,5%. These findings suggested that the aqueous extracts of stem bark and leaves of Prosopis africana contain promoted phytomolecules to combat dental caries infections. Keywords : Anti-biofilm, Anti-quorum sensing, Lipoxygenase, Prosopis africana

“…Despite the decrease of dental caries prevalence in the last years, it is still a health problem in many populations in both children and adults worldwide [1]. Improvement in population´s oral health is a matter of concern for the World Health Organization [2] and thus, professionals in Dentistry must develop the best possible skills to adopt appropriate positions in order to diagnose, manage and implement preventive measures for dental caries [3].…”

Objective: To evaluate activities performed in an e-learning platform after 2-year of implementation in terms of contents and functionality. Material and Methods: Elearning courses were prepared and created by two lecturers. Contents were intended for last year undergraduate students attending the pediatric dentistry discipline, and included different topics considered as relevant to the area. Given tele-courses from 2010-2012 as well as statistics and contents, provided by the platform, were collected for analysis. Results: Five tele-courses were proposed and the total participation was 322 students (mean-per-course±SD=64.4±17.2). On average, 15 tutors/course accompanied the process. Caries lesion detection and fluoride therapy were discussed in all modules, but different activities were focused in various aspects. Other topics were also included: caries activity (60%), caries risk assessment, oral hygiene and clinical examination (40%). Two lecturers were responsible for preparing exercises and tutors helped in the creation, revision and correction. The main type of validation was open questions (83%). A High level of students' access was observed during the 2-year-period (mean-per-course±SD=21372±6775,2). More than 32000 external visits of the topics were also seen. On average, 14 tutor/student feedbacks were sent per student in each tele-course. Conclusion: The use of an e-learning system has been used especially to complementing teaching in caries detection and management using fluorides. Telecourses have been highly accessed by undergraduate students and also, external participants.
