“…Preventive dental care is paramount to prevent children from needing dental procedures in the first place [ 2 ]. Before children with dental fear and uncooperative behavior are eligible for more invasive techniques to make dental treatment possible, such as Pediatric Procedural Sedation and Analgesia (PPSA) or general anesthesia [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], less invasive practices should be attempted.…”

“…A wide range of practices and strategies have been developed and should be considered to reduce pain and anxiety [ 6 , 7 ]. However, when less invasive practices do not work and dental fear and uncooperative behavior make dental treatments impossible, or when the treatment plan exceeds the coping capacity of children, PPSA can be used to make treatment possible [ 2 , 4 , 5 ]. PPSA has three main goals: preventing or relieving pain and anxiety, facilitating the procedure, and promoting patient safety [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Background: Dental fear and uncooperative behavior can hinder dental treatment quality. Pediatric Procedural Sedation and Analgesia (PPSA) is used to facilitate treatment when the coping capacity is exceeded. Out-of-hospital PPSA has been associated with more adverse outcomes compared to when it is used in hospital-based settings. The updated Dutch PPSA guidelines have increased costs and raised concerns about the accessibility of specialized high-quality dental care for children in the Netherlands. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the updated 2017 guidelines on the occurrence rate of adverse events during PPSA in twelve Dutch dental clinics. Methods: The data of 25,872 children who were treated at twelve dental clinics between 1997 and 2019 were analyzed. A logistic two-level mixed-effects model was used to estimate the updated guidelines’ impacts on adverse events. Results: The OR of the occurrence rate of an adverse event adjusted for age, weight, and duration of treatment was 0.75 (95% CI 0.64–0.89) after the implementation of the updated guidelines. This outcome was significant with p = 0.001, indicating a protective effect. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that there was a significant reduction in adverse events after the implementation of the updated guideline and highlight the importance of adhering to evidence-based practices in out-of-hospital dental clinics.

“… 34 In Norway, a Scandinavian country with low caries levels 35 84–98% of dental and other health professionals recommended fluoridated toothpaste to all children. 11 For maximum caries control, it was advised that all children should use toothpastes that contain 1350–1500 ppm fluoride with parental supervision, 6 such toothpastes are commonly known in our community as adult or regular toothpastes and hence this term was used in the questionnaire.…”

Objectives To assess basic knowledge on dental caries and its prevention especially in young children and variation thereof between dental practitioners working for the Ministry of Health in Bahrain. Materials and methods Self-reported questionnaire was sent to all dentists and dental hygienists. Results One hundred and thirty-four dental practitioners responded. The mean knowledge and practice scores for association between diet and dental caries was 64.9 ± 20.1. Females scored higher than males (p = 0.011) and dentists scored higher than dental hygienists (p = 0.009). A low mean score 45.5 ± 19.6 was observed in preventing dental caries in toddlers. Those >40 years of age and those with >15 years of experience have significantly higher scores than other groups (p = 0.009 and p = 0.001), respectively. Mean score for caring for children’s teeth, which covered advice on fluoridated toothpaste, was 63.4 ± 20.9. Younger dentists had higher score than those >40 years of age (p = 0.003). Mean score for frequency of fluoride varnish application was 64.4 ± 15.8 with no significant variation between practitioners. Conclusion There is a need to reduce variations and update and improve dental practitioners’ knowledge in regard to risks and prevention of caries at young age.

“…No contexto das Unidades de Saúde, ressalta-se a relevância da educação em saúde direcionada aos profissionais, o que pode melhorar a consistência das informações verbais repassadas por eles ao público (gestantes, pais e crianças). Durante os atendimentos médicos, odontológicos e de enfermagem, os profissionais podem atuar na conscientização com base em evidências científicas previamente obtidas, para instruir seus pacientes para o cuidado oral preventivo das crianças (LOKEN;WANG;WIGEN, 2017).…”

Mais precisamente, segundo dados do novo relatório do Population Reference Bureau (PRB), somos cerca de 7,8 bilhões de seres humanos habitando este planeta no momento. Não obstante à visão apocalíptica deste panorama, a que se deve tamanha progressão geométrica? Consenso entre historiadores e estudiosos da demografia humana, muito mais do que abandonar o modo de vida nômade, as descobertas e avanços da área médica foram fundamentais para que os séculos XX e XXI registrassem um elevado crescimento populacional. É notável que, a partir desse período, se consolidou e se difundiu a importância da pesquisa em saúde, não só com o objetivo de sanar doenças, mas também de prevenção e promoção à saúde, provendo ao indivíduo e à sociedade meios para a melhoria da qualidade de vida.Nesta perspectiva, sabendo que o conhecimento científico é muito valioso, principalmente em um cenário pandêmico causado pelo vírus Sars-CoV-2, a Editora Omnis Scientia nos abrilhanta com o livro Educação em Saúde e o aprimoramento de novos conhecimentos. Por meio de um compilado de artigos, este constructo evidencia a importância do papel dos profissionais de saúde como divulgadores científicos, seja em pesquisas teóricas, aplicadas, de inovação tecnológica ou mesmo relatos de experiências, combatendo a cultura da desinformação, auxiliando a promoção de políticas públicas efetivas e refletindo sobre as nossas ações perante a sociedade como um todo.Ademais, esta publicação surge em circunstância significativa como forma de promover o avanço, ainda mais expressivo, do processo de inserção do Brasil no patamar dos grandes centros científicos do mundo. Essa iniciativa, portanto, deve ser celebrada, além do mais, pela disseminação do conhecimento científico em educação em saúde, adequado em qualidade e momento oportuno, primordial para promoção do bem-estar populacional.Por fim, em nossos livros, selecionamos um dos capítulos para premiação como forma de incentivo para os autores, e entre os excelentes trabalhos selecionados para compor este livro, o premiado foi o capítulo 2, intitulado "Residência multiprofissional em Saúde da Família e as contribuições para a interprofissionalidade e a formação do Assistente Social". Por meio de relato de experiência vivenciada pela residente de serviço social, o trabalho nos traz reflexões sobre as contribuições do programa de residência no processo de aprendizagem e qualificação profissional, bem como, para as ações multiprofissionais de educação em saúde, desenvolvidas em conjunto com os residentes de diversas áreas da saúde.
