“…Other reasons for not performing oral hygiene reported in this study were the reduced staff level, work overload, and lack of supplies, which is in line with the findings of a study conducted in Croatia (Jordan et al, 2014). On the other hand, a multicenter study carried out in Brazil showed that 19% of the nurses consider that the available time is insufficient to perform the procedure (Blum et al, 2017). The same study indicates that the health team has difficulties in providing oral hygiene care due to lack of training and appropriate protocols, suggesting that such problems could be minimized with the introduction of dental surgeons in hospitals (Blum et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition, they contribute to knowing about the oral health care in Brazilian hospitals. Other studies also suggest similar difficulties in the implementation of oral hygiene by the nursing team (Blum et al, 2017;Gibney et al, 2015;Jordan et al, 2014). The care provided by the nursing team, in particular, oral care, requires overcoming the barriers in the system, the patient, and knowledge (Booker, Murff, Kitko, & Jablonski, 2013).…”

Therefore, the presence of a dental surgeon integrated into a multidisciplinary team of a hospital could allow improving the care provided to the hospitalized patient in both oral health promotion as well as in the treatment of oral diseases that may not have been identified or treated before hospitalization.…”

Background: Oral hygiene is essential in nursing care. It helps in the prevention of oral and systemic diseases. Objective: To identify the performance of the nursing team in oral hygiene in a hospital environment. Methodology: Exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach carried out with nursing professionals who work in the hospital environment. A questionnaire was applied to participants about their sociodemographic and professional characteristics and the performance of oral hygiene. Results: A total of 114 nursing professionals participated in this study. Of these, 75.4% of participants reported that they had not performed oral hygiene in the last shift, and 44.7% of the team members suggested that the patient should do so. Work overload and high patient turnover were mentioned as constraints to the performance of oral care. Conclusion: The nursing staff perceives oral hygiene as a part of essential patient care; however, oral hygiene practice has been neglected. This study points to the need to provide continuing education activities on this type of care in the hospital environment.

“…( 8 , 12 , 13 , 16 , 17 ) In a study that asked nursing professionals in ICUs in Brazilian hospitals about oral health care routines and protocols, the presence of dental surgeons in ICU care routines who implement institutional oral care protocols and train the teams was found to lead to positive and more consistent attitudes by the nursing teams regarding patients' oral health.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the practice of dentistry in intensive care units.MethodsAn observational survey study was conducted in which questionnaires were sent via the online platform for collaboration in intensive care research in Brazil (AMIBnet). The study was carried out from June to October 2017. The questionnaires, which contained 26 closed questions about hospitals and dentistry practices in the intensive care units, were sent to 4,569 professionals from different specialties practicing in the units.ResultsIn total, 203 questionnaires were returned, resulting in a response rate of 4.44%. Most of the responses were from intensive care units in the Southeast region of the country (46.8%). Public hospitals (37.9%) and private hospitals (36.4%) had similar participation rates. Of the respondents, 55% indicated that a bedside dentistry service was present, and they were provided in different ways.ConclusionThe presence of dentistry services and oral health service delivery training and protocols were correlated. The oral care methods varied greatly among the intensive care units surveyed.

“…Os autores concluíram que o tratamento odontológico preveniu a maioria dos episódios de infecções do trato respiratório, e julgam necessário a inclusão de dentistas na equipe da UTI para melhorar a saúde bucal em pacientes críticos e prevenir efetivamente infecções do trato respiratório. Blum et al (2017), realizaram um estudo transversal de pesquisa descritiva utilizando um questionário aplicado a 231 funcionários de 9 UTIs de três hospitais do sul do Brasil.…”

Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo discorrer sobre a importância do cirurgião dentista em unidades de terapia intensiva para a manutenção da saúde bucal em pacientes sistemicamente comprometidos. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com abordagem qualitativa. Foram selecionados artigos científicos indexados nas seguintes bases de dados online: Google Scholar e Pubmed. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos com disponibilidade na íntegra, escritos nos idiomas português e inglês, que apresentavam coerência com a temática e com data de publicação entre 2012 e 2020. Resultados: Pacientes internados em unidades de terapia intensiva apresentam comprometimento geral da saúde e, muitas vezes, devido às condições desfavoráveis da cavidade oral, podem desenvolver infecções pulmonares e ou generalizadas. A presença do Cirurgião-Dentista nas equipes interdisciplinares das UTIs colabora para a prevenção de infecções hospitalares, com diminuição do tempo de internação e do uso de medicamentos pelo paciente crítico, contribuindo de forma efetiva para o seu bem estar e dignidade. Conclusão: Os estudos relatam que, embora a presença do cirurgião dentista ainda não esteja consolidada em UTIs e a legislação brasileira apresente ainda lacunas para a inserção deste profissional em UTI, sua importância junto à equipe multiprofissional é indiscutível considerando a simplicidade e a efetividade das medidas que compõem os cuidados em saúde bucal.
