“…25 Concerns about general esthetics could obviously have an impact on dental esthetics, as the smile is an important component of individuals' appearance. The clinical effectiveness with low level of adverse effects of vital at-home bleaching is reported in several systematic reviews 11,26,27 The efficacy of in-office tooth bleaching and its relatively low cost compared to other treatment alternatives (composite or ceramic veneers) to recover the color in darkened teeth 11,26,27 are other reasons for the popularity of bleaching among patients. 6,9,10 These findings corroborate with previous studies reporting a high prevalence of the desire to perform bleaching in adult populations.…”

Population-based studies estimating the prevalence of tooth bleaching desire or the percentage of individuals who had performed this treatment are rare. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the desire to perform tooth bleaching and the prevalence of adult individuals who had performed the treatment and investigate the association of these outcomes. A subsample (n = 536) of the 1982 Pelotas birth cohort in southern Brazil was investigated at the ages 15, 24 and 31 by clinical examinations and interviews. The prevalence of bleaching at 31 years was 15.6% [95%CI 12.6-18.9] while 85.9% reported they desired the treatment. Multivariate Poisson regression analysis showed that individuals who have visited the dentist within the last year showed a treatment prevalence ratio (PR) 2.31 times [95%CI 1.40-3.83] higher compared with those who had the last dental visit more than a year before the interview. Similarly, individuals with smoking habits presented an elevated PR of 1.60 [95%CI 1.00-2.55], and the low-income trajectory group showed the largest PR of desire for tooth bleaching (1.17 [95%CI 1.07-1.28]). Moreover, individuals from the high-risk caries trajectory group presented a higher prevalence of desire for tooth bleaching than individuals from low caries trajectory group. Individuals who have declared being "dissatisfied" with their dental color presented a prevalence of desire for tooth bleaching 16% greater than "satisfied" ones. Thus, the present findings confirm that tooth bleaching has become a frequently desired dental treatment to improve dental aesthetics in the population and a considerable rate of adults has performed the treatment.

O intervalo de confiança representa uma faixa dentro da qual o efeito verdadeiro do tratamento possivelmente está localizado.…”

Visando aplicar o modelo da Odontologia baseada em evidências (OBE) no dia a dia IntroduçãoA OBE requer de quem a aplique no cotidiano, além do conhecimento específico na área em estudo, o conhecimento de elementos fundamentais da configuração de estudos epidemiológicos e de estatísti-ca. Assim, identificado algum estudo com potencial de atestar a eficácia de uma intervenção terapêuti-ca em odontologia, ou seja, um ensaio clínico controlado randomizado (ECCR), o próximo desafio é interpretá-lo. Igualmente, quando o estudo identificado é uma revisão sistemática cujos substratos são os ECCRs, a organização e a síntese dos dados podem causar algum susto em um primeiro contato.Diante do exposto, esta segunda etapa do estudo tem por objetivo apresentar elementos necessariamente envolvidos na estrutura de revisões sistemáticas de literatura, visando colaborar com a interpretação desses estudos. Revisão de literaturaTecnologias em saúde têm um ciclo de vida composto por fases relativas ao seu desenvolvimento e à sua aplicação no mercado. A primeira fase envolve pesquisas básicas e aplicadas e teste de protótipos e é seguida pela incorporação da tecnologia no mercado e por sua obsolência 1 . Alguns autores afirmam que o primeiro passo desse ciclo, ou seja, a tradução da pesquisa básica e sua aplicabilidade clínica, pode demorar, em média, dezessete anos, e que esse tempo pode impactar no custo do tratamento 2,3 . Desse modo, a Avaliação de Tecnologias em Saúde tem um papel primordial de subsídio para a tomada de de-
