“…Although the figure is essentially arbitrary, the relevance of the 21 tooth threshold is backed up by evidence relating to diet and comfort. [8][9][10][11] Altering the figure to '22 or more' or '20 or more' teeth would make relatively little difference, but it is around this point or above that people tend to experience dietary freedom and be able to rely on natural teeth without dentures for comfortable function. In this survey it represented a sharp cut-off point for partial denture wearing (Fig.…”

“…The number of teeth was classified based on the reduced dental arch formed by at least 20 teeth, which was acceptable from the functional standpoint 9 . Therefore, the following categories were assigned: no teeth, 1 to 19 teeth, and 20 teeth or more.…”

Objective This research evaluated whether having dental treatment available in the primary health care centers of the Brazilian Unified Health System was associated with greater satisfaction with the services accessed. The offering of dental care within the health service that elders usually access may improve their satisfaction with the services as a whole. Material and method In this cross-sectional study, 401 elders living in the districts of Lomba do Pinheiro and Partenon in Porto Alegre, Brazil were interviewed. Elders were selected using a cluster sampling design process from census tract drawings. Result Poisson Regression revealed that age and dental treatment supply were associated with outcome, and age, number of teeth, and the presence of dental treatment were associated with a higher prevalence of satisfaction with health services. Conclusion These results provide new contributions for health system qualification because this study demonstrated the importance of having dental treatment available to improve the satisfaction of older people with the Primary Health Care (PHC) services accessed.

ResumoIntrodução: No que diz respeito aos Serviços de Saúde Bucal, poucos estudos têm sido desenvolvidos na ambição de conhecer a satisfação deste grupo etário com tais serviços. Objetivo: Investigar a associação entre a resiliência e satisfação com serviços odontológicos entre os idosos, por meio de um modelo ajustado para fatores de confusão. Material e método: O lócus da pesquisa foi Lomba-Partenon, em Porto Alegre -RS, onde 771 idosos foram identificados em seus domicílios por meio de amostragem por conglomerado. Os indivíduos responderam a um questionário sócio-demográfico e de comportamentos em saúde, à Escala de Resiliência e a questões relativas ao Serviço Odontológico acessado e à satisfação com o mesmo; além disso, foi realizado um breve exame bucal para contagem do número de dentes e identificação do uso de prótese dentária. Resultado: Baseado em uma abordagem hierárquica realizada através de Regressão Logística Multivariada, as odds ratios estimadas das variáveis que ficaram significativamente associadas com o desfecho em estudo, satisfação com o Serviço Odontológico, após a análise totalmente ajustada, foram: 1) obtenção de consulta odontológica classificada como regular: OR= 1,85, 95% IC (1,10 a 3,12); 2) obtenção de consulta odontológica classificada como ruim: OR= 2,17, 95% IC (1,05 a 4,50) e 3) alto potencial de resiliência: OR= 0,60, 95% IC (0,37 a 0,97). Conclusão: Os resultados confirmam a hipótese de associação entre elevado potencial de resiliência e satisfação com os Serviços Odontológicos acessados por idosos.Descritores: Avaliação de serviços de saúde; resiliência psicológica; assistência odontológica para idosos; saúde do idoso; satisfação do paciente. AbstractIntroduction: With respect to dental health services, few studies have been developed to understand the satisfaction of this age group with these services. Objective: To investigate the association between resilience and satisfaction with dental services among elderly people, using a model adjusted for confounding factors. Material and method: The locus of the research was the Lomba-Parthenon district management, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. 771 elderly people living in their homes were identified through cluster sampling. The subjects responded to a socio-demographic and health behaviors questionnaire, the Resilience Scale and to questions regarding their satisfaction with dental care accessed. Furthermore, a brief oral examination was conducted to count the number of teeth and to identify the use of dental prostheses. Result: Based on a hierarchical approach conducted using Multivariate Logistic Regression and after fully adjusted analysis, the estimated odds ratios of the variables that were significantly associated with the outcome of this study, satisfaction with dental care, were: 1) obtaining a dental appointment, classified as regular: OR= 1.85, 95% CI (1.10 to 3.12); 2) obtaining a dental appointment, classified as bad: OR= 2.17, 95% CI (1.05 to 4.50); and, 3) high potential for resilience: OR= 0.60, 95% CI...
