“…As populações, acostumadas a enfrentar com seus próprios recursos enfermidades que às vezes desconheciam, criaram novas técnicas de uso, descobrindo novas finalidades para as plantas que já conheciam, a partir dos dados recém-incluídos no seu dia a dia, onde os saberes consolidaram-se em suas práticas, destacando o uso dos "remédios do mato" como um de seus traços culturais mais marcantes Santos et al, 2007).…”

Background Tooth loss is an oral health condition with high prevalence and negative impact on quality of life. It is the result of the history of oral diseases and their treatment as well as provision of dental care and access to dental services. Socioeconomic characteristics are determinants of tooth loss and living in rural areas is also a risk factor for its incidence. Objective To identify contextual and individual factors associated with self-reported tooth loss among adults and elderly people living in rural riverside areas. Methods A cross-sectional household-based survey was conducted in 2019 with rural riverside communities on the left bank of the Rio Negro River, Manaus, Amazonas. These communities are covered by a fluvial health team and two riverside health teams. Interviews were conducted in a representative random sample of dwellers aged ≥ 18 years, using electronic forms to obtain information on oral health conditions, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and use of and access to health services. The outcome was self-reported tooth loss. After the descriptive analysis of the data, a multilevel Poisson regression analysis was performed to estimate the prevalence ratio for the outcome. Variables with p-value ≤0.20 in the bivariate analyses were included in the multiple analysis considering the hierarchy between individual and contextual variables in the multilevel model. Variables with p-value ≤0.10 were kept in the final model and the significance level adopted was 0.05. Results 603 individuals from 357 households were assessed (mean age 44.1 years). The average number of missing teeth was 11.2 (±11.6); 27.4% of individuals had lost more than 20 teeth (non-functional dentition) and 12.1% were completely edentulous. Contextual characteristic of primary healthcare offered was associated with the outcome. The tooth loss was lower in territories covered by riverside health teams. At individual level, tooth loss was greater in older individuals who had experienced dental pain over the past six months and whose sugar consumption was high. Black or brown individuals, individuals whose household income was higher, those who were on the Bolsa Família cash transfer program, those who consulted a dentist over the past year, and those who reported satisfaction with their teeth/oral health reported less tooth loss. Conclusion Tooth loss was associated with contextual territorial factors related to the healthcare service and individual demographic, behavioral, socioeconomic, and service-related characteristics as well as self-perceived oral health conditions. The findings suggest that actions focused on the oral health of these populations involve not only changes in the healthcare service organization, but also intersectoral policies that contribute to reducing social inequalities.

Global discourses and the local impacts in Amazonia. Inclusion and exclusion processes in the Rio Negro region

In the course of the climate change discussions, Amazonia, as the worlds largest continuous rain forest area, has achieved international attention. The significant role of the Amazon rain forest as the "green lung of the world's climate" and its importance as an almost inexhaustible archive of biogenetic resources for the future development of the planet earth, are constantly accented. The conservation of rain forests is often spoken of in the same breath as the protection of indigenous peoples, and partially even put on the same level. The example of the Rio Negro region demonstrates clearly, how global discourses on climate change, the protection of forests and indigenous people are reflected on the local level via transmission tapes of unbalanced power relations. Forced by the powerful international discourses on these items, national discourses and regional policies concerning Amazonia have been shifted. Social groups, who are not clearly regarded as indigenous peoples or who do not match to the image of traditional, ecologically adapted ways of life, are largely ignored by the great variety of promotion instruments, as well as by national and international actors. In this way, international discourses define local life courses and decide what is "good" and "bad" or "right" and "wrong". But, they do not embrace the complex reality of Amazonia and threaten the livelihoods of excluded social groups in peripheral regions. Zusammenfassung: Im Zuge der Klimaschutz-Diskussionen ist Amazonien als größtes zusammenhängendes Regenwaldgebiet der Welt ins Zentrum der internationalen Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. Die zentrale Rolle dieses Regenwaldgebietes als "Grüne Lunge des Weltklimas" und seine Bedeutung als Pool schier unerschöpflicher biogenetischer Ressourcen für die künftige Entwicklung des Planeten Erde wird dabei immer wieder betont. Regenwaldschutz wird dabei meist in einem Atemzug mit dem Schutz indigener Gruppen genannt und teilweise diesem sogar gleichgesetzt. Das Beispiel der Rio Negro-Region zeigt, wie widersprüchlich sich globale Klima-, Umwelt-und Indianerschutzdiskurse über den "Transmissionsriemen" ungleicher Machtbeziehungen auf lokaler Ebene niederschlagen. Mit dem von internationaler Ebene über machtvolle Diskurse forcierten Schutz der tropischen Regenwälder und der indigenen Gruppen in Amazonien seit den 1990er Jahren haben sich nationale Diskurse und lokal-regionale Politiken verschoben. Vor allem Bevölkerungsgruppen, die nicht eindeutig der Gruppe der Indigenen zuzuordnen sind oder die nicht dem Image traditioneller ökologisch angepasster Lebens-und Wirtschaftsformen entsprechen, werden von den diversen Förderinstrumenten und von nationalen und internationalen Akteuren weitgehend ignoriert. Internationale Diskurse definieren dadurch lokale Lebenswelten und entscheiden über "gut" und "böse", "richtig" und "falsch". Sie werden aber der vielschichtigen Realität Amazoniens nicht gerecht und gefährden damit die Überlebenssicherung von ausgegrenzten Bevölkerungsgruppen in peripheren Regionen.
