Resumo Estudo metodológico de criação, validação de conteúdo e avaliação da mensurabilidade de indicadores para o monitoramento dos serviços de saúde bucal na atenção primária à saúde (APS). Indicadores foram elaborados a partir de variáveis registradas nas fichas de atendimento odontológico individual e atividades coletivas do e-SUS APS. Um comitê de 46 painelistas avaliou os indicadores, obtendo-se o percentual de concordância entre eles quanto à relevância da medida, transparência do método de cálculo e se eles mediam a dimensão teórica. A mensurabilidade foi avaliada usando dados do Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), para cada município brasileiro, em 2022. Foi obtido o percentual de municípios que apresentavam dados não nulos para o numerador e/ou denominador. Foram validados 68 indicadores (concordância > 75%) e demonstrada a mensurabilidade de 53, nas subdimensões “acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal” (9), “vigilância em saúde bucal” (5), “diagnóstico, tratamento e reabilitação em saúde bucal” (16), “promoção e prevenção” (14), “atuação intersetorial/participação popular” (4) e “processo de trabalho” (5). O percentual de municípios com indicadores calculados variou de 0,97 a 95,40%.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Avaliar e comparar o protagonismo das equipes de Saúde Bucal (eSB) no processo de trabalho em equipe na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) ao longo de cinco anos, e estimar a magnitude das disparidades entre as macrorregiões brasileiras. MÉTODOS Estudo ecológico que utilizou dados secundários extraídos do Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), de 2018 a 2022. Foram selecionados indicadores de matriz avaliativa previamente validada, calculados a partir dos registros na Ficha de Atividade Coletiva do grau de protagonismo das eSB nas reuniões de equipe, bem como do seu grau de organização em relação às pautas dos encontros. Foi realizada análise descritiva e da amplitude da variação dos indicadores ao longo do tempo, e também foi calculado o índice de disparidade para estimar e comparar a magnitude das diferenças entre as macrorregiões no ano de 2022. RESULTADOS No Brasil, entre 3,06% e 4,04% das reuniões de equipe foram lideradas por profissionais da eSB. No período, o Nordeste e o Sul foram as regiões que apresentaram maiores (3,71% a 4,88%) e menores proporções (1,21% a 2,48%), respectivamente. No período de 2018 a 2022, houve uma redução do indicador “grau de protagonismo das eSB” no Brasil e nas macrorregiões. Os temas mais frequentes em reuniões sob responsabilidade das eSB foram processo de trabalho (54,71% a 70,64%) e diagnóstico e monitoramento do território (33,49% a 54,48%). As maiores disparidades entre as regiões foram observadas para o indicador “grau de organização das eSB, em relação à discussão de caso e de projeto terapêutico singular”. CONCLUSÕES O protagonismo das eSB no processo de trabalho em equipe na APS é incipiente e apresenta disparidades regionais, o que desafia gestores e eSB para o rompimento do isolamento e da falta de integração, visando a oferta de atenção à saúde integral e de qualidade ao usuário do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Evaluate and compare the protagonism of Oral Health teams (OHt) in the teamwork process in Primary Healthcare (PHC) over five years and estimate the magnitude of disparities between Brazilian macro-regions. METHODS Ecological study that used secondary data extracted from the Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB – Health Information System for Primary Healthcare) from 2018 to 2022. Indicators were selected from a previously validated evaluative matrix, calculated from records in the Collective Activity Form on the degree of OHt’s protagonism in team meetings and its degree of organization concerning the meeting agendas. A descriptive and amplitude analysis of the indicators’ variation over time was carried out, and the disparity index was also calculated to estimate and compare the magnitude of differences between macro-regions in 2022. RESULTS In Brazil, between 3.06% and 4.04% of team meetings were led by OHt professionals. The Northeast and South regions had the highest (3.71% to 4.88%) and lowest proportions (1.21% to 2.48%), respectively. From 2018 to 2022, there was a reduction in the indicator of the “degree of protagonism of the OHt” in Brazil and macro-regions. The most frequent topics in meetings under OHt’s responsibility were the work process (54.71% to 70.64%) and diagnosis and monitoring of the territory (33.49% to 54.48%). The most significant disparities between regions were observed for the indicator “degree of organization of the OHt concerning case discussion and singular therapeutic projects”. CONCLUSIONS The protagonism of the OHt in the teamwork process in PHC is incipient and presents regional disparities, which challenges managers and OHt to break isolation and lack of integration, aiming to offer comprehensive and quality healthcare to the user of the Unified Health System (SUS).

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the unstimulated salivary flow, pH, and buffering capacity and their associations with systemic conditions and medication use in independently living aged. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 72 participants with a minimum of 60 years recruited in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. A questionnaire was used to collect age, sex, presence of systemic diseases, and medications in continuous use. Salivary data collection was performed to determine unstimulated salivary flow, pH, and buffering capacity. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed (p<0.05). Results: Most of the sample had at least one systemic disease (81.9%) and used at least one medication (79.2%). Female participants (p=0.01), those with five or more systemic diseases (p<0.01), and hypertension (p=0.04) had reduced salivary flow. Participants with systemic diseases (p=0.02), taking any medication (p=0.04), in a polypharmacy regimen, and presenting hypertension (p=0.02) had more acidic salivary pH. Participants with diabetes had average salivary buffering capacity (p=0.02). In the adjusted multiple regression models, no explanatory variable was significantly associated with the salivary outcomes. Conclusion: Systemic alterations and medication use appear to be related to salivary changes in older adults. Integrative assessment of older adults is fundamental to identifying and controlling the factors that may modify their salivary characteristics.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze oral health services for pregnant women in the primary health care of a Brazilian metropolis, based on the performance of dentists who integrate these services. Material and Methods: Exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted through qualitative and quantitative approaches. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. This study was conducted in a Brazilian metropolis and included all dentists working in primary health care. The compliance analysis was performed considering access, adherence, group activity and individual dental care dimensions. Open questions were analyzed using the content analysis method and the closed questions were performed using frequency estimates. Bivariate statistics (Chi-square, Fisher's Exact Test, α<0.05) were analyzed through STATA. Results: 260 dentists agreed to participate in this study. Strategies to facilitate the scheduling of pregnant women to dental treatment occur in 93.9% of oral health teams, the main one being the scheduling and/or referral performed by the family health team. In terms of access and adherence to treatment, all variables in these dimensions showed relevant compliance results. The group activity dimension presented moderate compliance percentages, whereas individual care obtained high results, except for referral to radiography. Conclusion: The oral health service was compliant regarding access and adherence to treatment, but showed limitations in individual care and collective activities. Recommendations include improving oral health team coverage and permanent education programs.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever os padrões do suicídio, relacionando-os com aspectos sociodemográficos, espaço-temporais e relacionados ao suicídio na região mais populosa do estado de Alagoas (AL), Brasil. Métodos: Foi delineado um estudo observacional e retrospectivo a partir de dados de suicídio do Instituto Médico Legal localizado em Maceió (AL), compreendendo os anos entre 2016 e 2018. Por meio de regressão logística binária e múltipla foi determinado um modelo estatístico para identificar fatores associados ao suicídio dentre homens e mulheres. Resultados: Do total de suicídios levantados (n = 172), 71,5% eram de vítimas do sexo masculino. A média de idade nos homens foi de 39,3 anos e de 34,1 nas mulheres. O modelo final de regressão logística identificou que homens pretos/pardos tem 12 vezes mais chances (p < 0,001) de cometer suicídio do que os brancos. Além disso homens tem menos chances de se suicidar por intoxicação exógena (p < 0,001) ou queda intencional (p =0,01) do que por enforcamento. Homens em situação empregatícia apresentaram maior chance de suicídio (p = 0,02). Conclusões: Apesar da complexidade do fenômeno em estudo, foi possível verificar alguns padrões para a região mais populosa do estado de Alagoas. O padrão do suicídio no estado seguiu o cenário nacional, afetando homens, adultos, jovens de etnia negra (preta/parda) em situação empregatícia, além do enforcamento como mecanismo padrão entre os homens. O presente estudo poderá ser base para planejamento de intervenções com foco na prevenção do fenômeno, com foco nos determinantes para o suicídio.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the patterns of suicide, relating them to sociodemographic, spatial-temporal and suicide-related aspects in the most populous region of the state of Alagoas (AL), Brazil. Methods: Observational and retrospective study based on suicide data from the Instituto Médico Legal located in Maceió (AL), covering the years between 2016 and 2018. Through binary and multiple logistic regression, a statistical model was determined to identify factors associated with suicide between men and women. Results: From the overall number of reported suicides (n = 172), 71.5% were male victims. The mean age for men was 39.3 years and 34.1 for women. The final logistic regression model identified that black/brown men are 12 times more likely (p < 0.001) to commit suicide than white men. In addition, men are less likely to commit suicide by exogenous intoxication (p < 0.001) or intentional fall (p = 0.01) than by hanging. Men in employment were more likely to commit suicide (p = 0.02). Conclusions: Despite the complexity of the phenomenon under study, it was possible to verify some patterns for the most populous region of the state of Alagoas. The pattern of suicide in the state followed the national scenario, affecting men, adults, young people of black ethnicity (black/brown) in employment, in addition to hanging as the standard mechanism among men. The present study could be the basis for planning interventions focused on preventing the phenomenon, focusing on the determinants of suicide.

Abstract This study aimed to estimate the morbidity associated with toothache treated in the primary health care (PHC) setting, stratified by the population size of Brazilian municipalities, from 2018 to 2022. This longitudinal ecological study was based on public national data from routine public dental service utilization records within the Health Information System for Primary Care. These data were employed to compute the rate of dental appointments for users with toothache (per 1,000 users) within each municipality throughout 15 four-month periods (P1-2018 to P3-2022), classified by population size. We integrated the databases for population size, denominator, and numerators. A longitudinal data regression model was used to estimate the four-monthly variation before and after P2-2020. Records from 5,332 municipalities (95.72%) were analyzed. The average rate of dental appointments for users with toothache (per 1,000 users) ranged from 9.65 (P2-2020) to 27.24 (P1-2018). Throughout the period, larger municipalities showed the lowest rates. Before P2-2020, the average rate in municipalities with >100,000 inhabitants fell by an average of 20.56% every four months, higher than the 7.25% variation in municipalities with < 5,000 inhabitants. After P2-2020, the rate in municipalities with < 5,000 inhabitants rose by 2.27%, a value lower than the variation in larger municipalities. The rates of dental appointments for users with toothache in the PHC setting indicate the persistent severity of dental conditions among public health service users, with variations across different regions of the country. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the rate of dental appointments for users with toothache, underscoring the need for dental services to enhance their adaptability and responsiveness to such crises.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar as Instituições de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI) brasileiras, segundo o Modelo Teórico Multidimensional Integrado de Qualidade e Atendimento (MIQA), e comparar o desempenho alcançado entre as regiões do país. Estudo ecológico descritivo realizado com dados secundários públicos das ILPI participantes do Censo do Sistema Único da Assistência Social de 2018. Uma Matriz de Avaliação foi construída a partir das variáveis do Censo e do Modelo Teórico MIQA. Parâmetros de qualidade foram empregados para classificar o desempenho das instituições para cada indicador em “incipiente”, “em desenvolvimento” ou “desejável. O índice de disparidade foi obtido para cada indicador. Foram analisadas 1.665 instituições. Observaram-se diferenças nos percentuais de ILPI com desempenho “desejável” entre as regiões brasileiras, e a necessidade de aprimoramento na maioria das ILPI em relação à proporção de cuidadores de pessoas idosas, a composição da equipe multiprofissional, a acessibilidade e a oferta de ações de promoção de saúde. Verificou-se a necessidade de apoio governamental para a supressão dos critérios de diferenciações excludentes e para a expansão dos serviços para superar as superlotações.

Abstract This article aims to evaluate the Brazilian Long-Term Institutions for Older People (LTIE), according to the Integrated Multidimensional Theoretical Model of Quality and Service (MIQA), and compare the performance achieved between the regions of the country. Descriptive ecological study carried out with public secondary data from the LTIE participating in the 2018 Census of the Unified Social Assistance System. An Evaluation Matrix was constructed from the Census variables and the MIQA Theoretical Model. Quality parameters were used to classify the institutions’ performance for each indicator as “incipient”, “developing” or “desirable”. The disparity index was obtained for each indicator. 1,665 institutions were analyzed. Differences were observed in the percentages of LTIE with “desirable” performance between Brazilian regions, and the need for improvement in most LTIE in relation to the proportion of caregivers of older people, the composition of the multidisciplinary team, accessibility and supply of health promotion actions. There was a need for government support for the suppression of exclusionary differentiation criteria and for the expansion of services to overcome overcrowding.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of pairs of antagonist teeth (epidemiological criterion) for defining pairs of teeth in occlusal contact (clinical criterion) and to estimate the agreement between the prevalence of “shortened dental arch” (SDA) and “functional dentition” (FD) when occlusal units (OUs) or posterior occluding pairs (POPs) are defined by the epidemiological or clinical criterion. Data were collected in an epidemiological oral health survey conducted in a municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil. OUs and POPs were defined by the epidemiological criterion (dental crown status) or clinical criterion “gold standard” (carbon paper record of occlusal contacts during habitual maximum intercuspation). SDA corresponded to the presence of an intact anterior region and three to five OUs. FD was based on the concomitant presence of ≥ 1 tooth in each arch, 10 teeth in each arch, 12 anterior teeth, ≥ 3 premolar POPs, and ≥ 1 molar POP bilaterally. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of the epidemiological criterion were calculated. The study included 197 adults. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 88.5, 87.9, 92.5, and 81.9%, respectively, and accuracy was 88.3%. The epidemiological criterion proved to be valid and could be used in epidemiological studies to calculate the prevalence of reduced dental configurations that consider POPs. The assessment of oral functionality is an aspect that should be included in the diagnosis of the clinical condition of patients, contributing to a more effective individual and collective oral health care plan. shortened arch (SDA functional dentition (FD (OUs (POPs Gerais Brazil status gold standard carbon intercuspation. intercuspation . intercuspation) bilaterally Sensitivity specificity PPV , (PPV) NPV, (NPV) calculated 19 adults 885 88 5 88.5 879 87 9 87.9 925 92 92.5 819 81 81.9% respectively 883 88.3% patients plan (PPV (NPV 8 88. 87. 92. 81.9 88.3 81.

Abstract This study evaluated the construct validity of the instrument Oral Health Literacy among diabetics. A probabilistic random sample of 239 diabetics from an infinite population answered the 10 items of the questionnaire. The structural validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis and goodness of fit, chi-square per degrees of freedom ratio (X2/df), comparative fit index (CFI), goodness-of-fit index (GFI), and root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA). Internal consistency was estimated by the average variance extracted (AVE) and composite reliability (CR). The scores were dichotomized with the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval as the cutoff point. The three-dimensional model presented good quality parameters (X2 /df = 2.459; CFI = 0.988; TLI = 0.981) and poor RMSEA (0.078). Internal consistency was adequate; AVE for the Access, Understand/appraise, and Apply subscales were 0.831, 0.981, and 0.954 and the CR for these subscales were 0.893, 0.962, and 0.822, respectively. Inadequate literacy ranged from 41.8 to 48.1%. The three-dimensional model identified (access, understand/appraise, and apply) showed structural validity, good internal consistency, and understandability. 23 1 questionnaire chisquare chi square X2/df, X2df Xdf X2/df , X2 df X (X2/df) CFI, (CFI) goodnessoffit GFI, GFI (GFI) rootmeansquare root mean RMSEA. .

Aim To evaluate the prevalence of untreated caries and its association with biological, individual, and environmental variables in independently-living elderly people. Methods This cross-sectional study included 72 elderly (≥60 years) patients of a university dental clinic in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Sociodemographic data, systemic diseases, medications, and free sugar intake were collected. Visible plaque, Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT), and Decayed and Filled Root (DFR) indexes were assessed through clinical examination. Unstimulated saliva was collected to determine salivary flow, pH, and buffering capacity. Descriptive analysis and multilevel logistic regression analysis were performed following a dental caries theoretical model ( p <0.05, 95% CI). Results The mean DMFT and DFR were 24.44 (SD=4.59) and 3.21 (SD=2.93), respectively. The prevalence of untreated caries was 61.11%. In the adjusted multilevel regression model involving 1639 teeth, untreated dental caries was significantly associated with the presence of biofilm (OR = 1.84; 95% CI: 1.24–2.74), salivary buffering capacity (OR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.77–0.99) and per capita income (OR = 0.06; 95% CI: 0.004–0.74). Conclusion The experience of dental caries was widespread among independently-living elderly patients, and its variability was best explained by the presence of biofilm, reduced salivary buffering capacity, and low per capita income. A comprehensive assessment is needed of the biological, individual, and environmental factors related to the presence of dental caries in independently-living elderly people.
