“…Several studies have shown perception of need as the characteristic with highest explanation power for the search for dental assistance. Dental pain is not always enough to motivate a visit to the dental service 29 . From workers reporting toothache in the last six months and not having looked for oral health services, 46.9% have not perceived the need and 12.0% failed to do it due to lack of money, which may suggest a lack of third shift dental assistance in the public service or not having been waived for treatment.…”

“…Na Dinamarca, em 1975, os pacientes que fizeram uso regular dos serviços odontológicos (uma vez por ano nos últimos cinco anos) receberam tratamento que conservaram a estrutura dental, enquanto aqueles que foram ao cirurgião-dentista no mesmo período, irregularmente ou há mais de cinco anos, receberam tratamentos mais radicais como exodontias e pró-teses 13 . Além disso, indivíduos que realizaram visitas preventivas foram menos propensos a se ausentar do trabalho e tiveram menor número de horas de trabalho perdidas 14 .…”

The routine use of dental services by elderly participants in a representative survey of Brazilians (the SB Brazil Project) IntroduçãoO Brasil está passando por um processo de transição demográfica explicado pelos progressos tecnológicos e melhorias nos padrões de saú-de da população, com aumento significativo da expectativa de vida, diminuição acentuada das taxas de natalidade, mortalidade infantil e mortalidade por doenças infecciosas. Esse processo tem acarretado um aumento considerável da proporção de idosos 1,2 . Entretanto, a condição de saúde bucal da população idosa não tem recebido a atenção merecida. Atualmente os idosos carregam a herança de um modelo assistencial centrado em práticas curativas e mutiladoras 3 , o que resultou em um quadro atual precário, com ausência de dentes, acúmulo de necessidades de tratamento e grande demanda por serviços protéticos na população idosa 3,4,5 . A histórica escassez de atenção odontológica a grupos não escolares resultou na necessidade de formulação de políticas públicas para promoção de saúde bucal para pessoas idosas, para que elas experimentem essa época da vida com qualidade 3,5,6 . Apesar desse panorama de demandas odontológicas acumuladas ao longo da vida 7 , no Brasil, é baixo o relato de uso dos serviços odontoló-gicos por idosos, uma vez que 6% relataram nunca terem utilizado os serviços odontológicos, que somente 17% utilizaram os serviços há menos de um ano, que 11% utilizaram entre um e dois anos e que 66% o fizeram há três ou mais anos 8 .ARTIGO ARTICLE

“…Further, these benefits are easy to overlook due to the difficulties of quantifying them in economic terms. In particular, it is unclear how these benefits may offset lost worker productivity [19][20][21][22][23][24] . If it were possible to calculate all ANOVA such factors as benefits, the benefit-cost ratio would be larger than indicated in this paper.…”

Cost-Benefit Analysis of a Worksite Oral-Health Promotion Program

2007

This study was conducted to examine whether oral-health promotion programs provided as an occupational health service for employees were cost-beneficial for employers. The subjects were composed of 357 male workers (20-59 yr of age) who participated in oral-health promotion programs conducted at their workplaces between 1992 and 1997. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental study design in which the three programs (light: 1 visit; medium: 2-4 visits; and heavy: 5-6 visits) were compared through cost-benefit analysis conducted from the viewpoint of the employers. The programs consisted of oral-health checkups by dentists and oral-health education, including that on the proper brushing method, by dental hygienists. The costs of the program included direct costs for the payment of oral-health-care staff and for teaching materials, and indirect costs for the time for employee participation in the program (20 min/employee per visit). The accumulated dental expenses for the seven years were used to calculate benefits, which were determined, based on the differences between 0 visits and each program. The benefit/cost ratios of the three programs were -2.45, 1.46, and 0.73, respectively. These results suggest that a worksite oral-health promotion program of medium frequency is cost-beneficial for employers.
