ABSTRACT Objective: To describe behaviors with oral hygiene items in single-bathroom households during the domiciliary isolation of individuals with positive 'Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction' (RTPCR+) in southern Brazil. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted with Research and Monitoring Sector of COVID-19 data from Palhoça, Brazil, of individuals aged ≥18 years, living in a singlebathroom household, who had an RT-PCR positive. A link of Google Forms was used. Socio-demographic information, characteristics during the home isolation, oral hygiene, and behaviors with oral hygiene items in the bathroom were collected. Descriptive stratified analyses according to age were conducted (<40 and ≥40 years). Results: Among 524 individuals, 36% were aged ≥40 years. During isolation, according to the behaviors with oral hygiene items in the household single-bathroom, 70% (95%CI 64.9-75.5) of the youngest participants reported sharing toothbrushes in the same container and 30% (95%CI 24.4-35.1) of the oldest; use of the same toothpaste was reported by 67% (95%CI 62.8-71.7) of the youngest and 33% (95%CI 28.337.3) of the oldest participants. For the outcome of sharing the same toothpaste, the chances for the youngest and the oldest to share the same toothbrush container was 11 times and 6 times more, respectively. Conclusion: The individuals related good oral hygiene habits; however, behaviors with oral hygiene items in the bathroom were neglected, especially by the younger individuals.

Resumo Introdução idosos em Instituições de Longa Permanência (ILPIs) possuem comprometimento da capacidade funcional e maior prevalência de agravos bucais. Destaca-se o papel do profissional enfermeiro na avaliação integral do idoso inclusive com instrumentos para identificação e encaminhamento para tratamento odontológico. Objetivo descrever a confiabilidade intra e interobservador, na avaliação da saúde bucal de idosos em ILPIs por vídeo. Material e método estudo metodológico, em três ILPIs da Grande Florianópolis, Sul do Brasil. Foi utilizado o instrumento Avaliação da Saúde Bucal para Triagem Odontológica (ASBTO), que possui oito categorias (“lábios”, “língua”, “gengivas/tecidos”, “saliva”, “dentes naturais”, “dentadura”, “higiene” e “dor de dente”), segundo escores 0=saudável, 1=presença de alterações (podendo haver necessidade de atendimento), 2=não saudável (necessidade de atendimento) e escore final de 0 a 16. Um Enfermeiro, em cada ILPI, avaliou as condições bucais presencialmente e realizou vídeo com smartphone de cada idoso. Um cirurgião-dentista avaliou as condições bucais à partir desses vídeos. Foi estimado o teste de Kappa, p<0,05. Resultado amostra de 34 idosos, 71% do sexo feminino. Confiabilidade interobservador entre os enfermeiros 1 e 2 e cirurgião-dentista para “lábios” e “dentes naturais” foi classificada como fraca e excelente/muito boa para dor de dente e condição das dentaduras segundo dois enfermeiros. Confiabilidade intraobservador dos enfermeiros foi classificada como fraca para avaliação dos “dentes naturais”. Conclusão o ASBTO mostrou-se confiável na avaliação das condições de prótese e dor, entretanto sugere-se maior capacitação dos Enfermeiros para o reconhecimento de condições bucais que requerem atendimento odontológico, assim como, a gestão deste processo pelo cirurgião-dentista e ILPIs.

Abstract Introduction older persons in Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities have functional impairments and a higher disease prevalence. Nurses’ comprehensive assessment of older persons’ health is highlighted, including using tools for screening dental treatment needs. Objective to report the intra- and inter-observer reliability of older adults’ oral health assessment in LTC facilities by video. Material and method descriptive study, in three LTC facilities, in the Florianópolis region, Southern Brazil. Data were collected according to Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT), which presents 8 categories (“lips, tongue, gums/tissues, saliva, natural teeth, dentures, dental hygiene, and toothache”), and the scores 0=healthy, 1=presence of changes (could be a need for care), 2=unhealthy (need for dental service); final score from 0 to 16. In each LTC facility, a Nurse assessed oral conditions and made a video of each older adult using a smartphone. The dentist performed the oral health assessment through the videos. Estimated Kappa test, p<0.05. Result the sample was 34 older adults, 71% were female. Interobserver reliability between Nurses 1 and 2 and Dentist for “lips” and “natural teeth” was classified as poor and excellent/very good for toothache and denture conditions. The nurse’s intraobserver reliability was classified as weak for the “natural teeth” assessment. Conclusion the OHAT showed reliability for assessing denture conditions and pain. However, nurses’ training for recognizing oral conditions that require dental care is suggested, as well as the management of this action by the dentist and LTC facilities.

Abstract Objective: To estimate the prevalence of sleep bruxism and its association with oral health conditions in schoolchildren. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in public schools of Tubarão, SC, Brazil with students aged 10 to 15 years. The oral examination was performed in classrooms by dental surgeons, using the WHO criteria. Data on malocclusions, caries and dental trauma, fluorosis, bleeding gums and the presence of dental calculus were collected. For the diagnosis of bruxism, the criterion of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine was adopted. The chi-square test was used to assess the association between sleep bruxism and oral health conditions. Prevalence ratios and confidence intervals were estimated by Poisson regression with robust estimator. Results: A total of 389 students were examined. The prevalence of sleep bruxism was 22.0%. Schoolchildren with malocclusion, increased overjet and dental calculus showed a statistically higher and independent prevalence of 9.0% (p=0.003), 6.0% (p=0.006) and 19.0% (p<0.001), respectively. Conclusion: Prevalence of sleep bruxism was 22% in the study population and was associated with malocclusions, particularly increased overjet, and the presence of dental calculus.
