“…Thus, epidemiological surveys aimed at assessing the working population have shown predominance of male workers [8,12,15], opposing to data obtained in this study that found a greater number of women. It is assumed that such divergence occurred as a consequence of the insertion of these workers into a textile industry in which individuals perform cutting and sewing activities, which is culturally designated to females.…”

Objective: To evaluate the oral health status of Brazilian workers of a textile industry. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 489 individuals of both sexes was performed. Data on gender, age, schooling, frequency of dentist visits and caries experience (DMFT) were collected by a single trained and calibrated examiner. Data were organized using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and presented through descriptive and inferential statistics (Poisson Regression Analysis). The significance level was 5%. Results: There was predominance of female workers (57.7%) aged 30-39 years (44.6%) and with 9-11 years of schooling (79.7%). Almost all of them had visited the dentist at least once in their lifetime (99.6%), and 66.8% had done so in the last 12 months. The mean DMFT value was 11.14 (± 5.64), with higher participation of filled (6.21) and missing components (4.03). There was a statistically significant association between DMFT values (≤ 11 and ≥ 12) and age group (p <0.001), as well as between schooling and number of missing (p <0.001) and decayed teeth (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The mean DMFT of Brazilian workers is high, with a tendency to increase the number of missing teeth as age increases. Schooling was associated with the number of missing and filled teeth.

“…The squared adjusted coefficient (r 2 a) of 0.24 indicates that 24% of the variability of OHIP-14 could be explained by the variables that remained in the multivariate model, meaning that work ability and educational level were independently associated to other variables. This results agree with Guerra et al 18 (2014), who showed that 39% of OHIP-14 scores was explained by educational level (p=0.03), age (p=0.03), reason for visiting a dentist (p=0.01), oral health perception (p<0.01) and satisfaction with teeth and mouth (p<0.01). This result indicates that OHIP-14 can be useful for planning actions for oral health workers.…”

Aim: To analyze the relationships between perceived oral health quality of life and work ability index. Methods: The data regarding administrative workers of a private textile company in São Paulo -Brazil, included socio-demographic, occupational characteristics, self-perceived oral health (OHIP 14) and self-perceived work ability index (WAI). Results: The response rate of the questionnaires was 75.20% and the reliability of the instruments (Conbrach's alpha) was 0.89 for OHIP 14 and 0.64 for WAI. Linear multiple regression analyses showed that OHIP 14 was associated with educational level (p=0.009) and work ability index (p=0.001) of workers, regardless of other variables. Conclusions: These results showed the importance of adopting oral health programs in private companies to improve oral health and work ability.

“…As condições de saúde geral estão, muitas vezes, relacionadas às condições de saúde bucal e psicológica. Em virtude disso, sabe-se que qualquer alteração nesse tripé irá causar desconforto e desequilíbrio para o indivíduo, prejudicando suas relações interpessoais, qualidade de vida e produção ocupacional 5 . Além disso, já está comprovado que a instituição de programas voltados para a promoção de saúde no local de trabalho é fundamental para o controle de diversas alterações da cavidade bucal, bem como na diminuição de idas do trabalhador aos serviços de saúde bucal 7 .…”

“…Assim, a Odontologia do Trabalho, enquanto especialidade odontológica, tem como objetivo analisar, interpretar e solucionar os problemas bucais que possam acontecer com os trabalhadores durante o processo de produção e consumo de bens. As doenças bucais comprometem a saúde geral do indivíduo, repercutindo de forma negativa na qualidade de vida e afetando a sua capacidade laborativa [3][4][5][6] . Por esses motivos é que vários estudos afirmam a necessidade de programas odontológicos nas empresas, diminuindo o afastamento desses trabalhadores do trabalho e melhorando o processo produtivo 7 .…”

jamento e implantação de programas de saúde bucal no local de trabalho, visando à promoção de saúde e prevenção de riscos. Palavras-chave: Epidemiologia. Saúde bucal. Salva-vidas. IntroduçãoA saúde de uma população sofre interferência de diversos fatores como a questão socioeconômica e cultural. Outro fator, que recebe cada vez mais importância é a questão ocupacional, uma vez que, no contexto da globalização e das inovações na economia, há um aumento das exigências dos trabalhadores, prejudicando a saúde e o rendimento¹. Com isso, surge a preocupação de promover serviços de saúde ao trabalhador, dando origem à concepção de saúde do trabalhador².A conscientização das classes trabalhadoras quanto à necessidade de tornar obrigatória a assistência à saúde do trabalhador para prevenir doenças levou esta discussão para a área odontológica³. A importância da saúde bucal para o alcance de padrões de boa qualidade de vida é evidente 4 .
