ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with dental caries in Brazilian preschool children aged 2 to 5 years. Material and Methods: The following independent variables were evaluated: dental caries, dental trauma, and malocclusions. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test and Poisson regression (p<0.05). Results: The prevalence of dental caries in preschoolers was 55.1%. Child age, family income, maternal education, and tooth color alteration from trauma were significantly associated with dental caries (p<0.05). The final adjusted multivariate model showed a significant association between maternal education and dental caries; children of mothers with low education were 1.89 times more likely to have caries (PR: 1.89; 95%CI: 1.40-2.55) (p<0.01). Children with tooth color change from trauma were more likely to have dental caries (PR: 1.69; 95%CI: 1.22-2.34 (p=0.001). Conclusion: Child age, family income, maternal education, tooth discoloration and discoloration color are risk factors for the development of caries disease in children. Also, children of mothers with low educational levels have a higher chance of developing dental caries.

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of both exposures self-perceived oral health and daily brushing frequency and the outcome quality of life of cancer patients. Methods This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, carried out with 399 cancer patients treated by an institution in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Tooth brushing frequency and self-perceived oral health were obtained through interviews and quality of life through the EORTC QLQ-C30 instrument. Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive and bivariate analyses followed by the use of multiple linear generalized models. Results Most participants reported self-perception of good oral health (89.2%), being that 55.6% brush their teeth three or more times daily. Better quality of life was observed in the social capacity and diarrhea subscales, whereas worse quality of life was recorded in the insomnia and emotional capacity subscales. Self-perceived poor oral health was associated with worse quality of life scores in two symptoms [fatigue (p = 0.007) and pain (p = 0.024)] and the following subscales: functional capacity (p = 0.006), emotional capacity (p = 0.013), cognitive capacity (p = 0.008), and social capacity (p = 0.022), independently of socioeconomic and health conditions. Tooth brushing frequency was not associated with any subscale. Conclusion Self-perception of poor oral health was associated with a worse quality of life, however, the frequency of toothbrushing did not affect the quality of life of cancer patients. selfperceived self perceived descriptiveanalytical analytical crosssectional cross sectional 39 Gerais Brazil QLQC30 QLQC QLQ C30 C QLQ-C3 instrument models selfperception perception 89.2%, 892 89.2% , 89 2 (89.2%) 556 55 6 55.6 subscales Selfperceived Self fatigue p 0.007 0007 0 007 0.024 0024 024 0.024) 0.006, 0006 0.006 006 0.006) 0.013, 0013 0.013 013 0.013) 0.008, 0008 0.008 008 0.008) 0.022, 0022 0.022 022 0.022) conditions subscale Selfperception however 3 QLQC3 C3 QLQ-C 89.2 8 (89.2% 5 55. 0.00 000 00 0.02 002 02 001 0.01 01 89.

Resumen Introducción: El cuidado de la salud bucal impacta directamente en el bienestar de las mujeres privadas de libertad. Las discrepancias socioeconómicas y la falta de acceso a programas que ofrezcan servicios odontológicos gratuitos y de promoción de la salud para esta población tienen un impacto sobre su calidad de vida. Objetivos: Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo conocer los retos de salud bucal a los que se enfrentan las mujeres encarceladas em Brasil y en el mundo. Material y método: Se seleccionaron las siguientes bases de datos: EMBASE, (Biblioteca de salud virtual [BVS] = LILACS + BDENF), Scielo, Scopus, Cochrane-Library y PubMed. Se realizaron búsquedas en estas bases de datos hasta octubre de 2021, sin límite de tiempo para realizarlas. Las palabras clave utilizadas en las búsquedas fueron "encarcelamiento", "prisión", "mujer" y "salud bucal". Resultados: La caries, la enfermedad periodontal, el dolor de muelas y el uso de prótesis dentales, fueron las condiciones de salud bucal más prevalentes en mujeres privadas de libertad en Brasil y en el mundo. En cuanto al nivel de evidencia científica, los artículos incluidos se encuadran en el nivel III, según Melnyk y Fineout. Discusión: En el contexto mundial, considerando las limitaciones del estudio, las enfermedades bucales mostraron afectar negativamente a la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud bucal y sistémica de las mujeres durante y después del encarcelamiento. También es esencial que se realicen más estudios clínicos y de seguimiento en mujeres encarceladas que aborden sus necesidades reales de salud bucal.

Abstract Introduction: Oral health care directly impacts the well-being of incarcerated women. It is related to the quality of life, social and economic discrepancies and lack of access to programs that offer free dental services and health promotion for this population. Objectives: This work aimed to understand oral health challenges faced by women incarcerated in Brazil and worldwide. Material and method: The following databases were selected: EMBASE, (Virtual Health Library=LILACS+BDENF), Scielo, Scopus, Cochrane-Library and the PubMed search engine. These databases were searched until the closing date of October 2021 with no time limit for the searches. The key words used in the searches were "incarceration", "prison", "woman", and "oral health". Results: Caries, periodontal disease, tooth pain, and the use of dental prostheses were the most prevalent oral health conditions amongst incarcerated women in Brazil and worldwide. Regarding the level of scientific evidence, the included articles fit level III, according to Melnyk and Fineout. Discussion: Bearing in mind the limitations of the study, oral diseases in the global context showed that the quality of life related to oral and systemic health of women during and after incarceration was negatively affected. It is also essential for further clinical and follow-up studies to be carried out on incarcerated women that address their actual oral health needs.

Resumen Objetivo: conocer la configuración epidemiológica de la atención del cáncer en una macrorregión de salud, ubicada en el estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil, entre 2008 y 2017. Materiales y métodos: estudio cuantitativo, exploratorio, transversal y descriptivo, realizado con datos secundarios de cinco municipios ubicados en el estado de Minas Gerais. Resultados: se atendieron a 54.206 pacientes con cáncer, predominantemente hombres (53,38 %), en un rango etario de 60 a 79 años (49,95 %), blancos (79,08 %), con educación básica primaria incompleta (48,36 %) y casados (57,34 %). Las neoplasias de piel representan la localización primaria más frecuente (22,35 %). La etapa I del tumor fue la más observada (20,98 %). Las razones más frecuentes para no tratar, después de la opción "no se aplica", fueron enfermedad avanzada, falta de condiciones clínicas u otras (6,97 %), mientras que se verificó el predominio de la enfermedad estable (31,59 %) al final del primer tratamiento recibido. Conclusión: los resultados presentados brindan apoyo para identificar las prioridades de la atención oncológica y establecen la configuración de la atención para pacientes con cáncer, lo que dirige la planificación de las intervenciones para proporcionar atención de calidad.

Abstract Objective: to know the epidemiological configuration of cancer care in a health macro-region in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais between 2008 and 2017. Materials and methods: quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional and descriptive study, conducted with secondary data from five municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais. Results: there were 54,206 visits to cancer patients, predominantly male (53.38%), aged 60 to 79 years (49.95%), white (79.08%), with incomplete elementary school education (48.36 %), and married (57.34 %). Skin neoplasms represent the most frequent primary location (22.35%). Stage I of the tumor was the most observed (20.98 %). The most prevalent reasons for not treating after the "not applicable" option were advanced disease and lack of clinical conditions or other conditions (6.97 %), whereas stable disease (31.59%) prevailed at the end of the first treatment received. Conclusion: the results provide support to identify the priorities of cancer care and outline the configuration for cancer treatment in patients, which directs the planning of interventions to provide high quality care.

Resumo O artigo analisa o impacto de um documentário sobre o cotidiano de mães e filhos com deficiência, exibido em congressos, festivais, universidades e escolas no Brasil, Colômbia e Japão. Produzido por profissionais do cinema e da saúde, cientistas sociais e uma rede de mulheres, o longa metragem “Um dia especial” foi premiado no Assim Vivemos – VI Festival Internacional de Filmes sobre Deficiência (2013-2014). O objetivo é analisar o impacto do filme e sua difusão entre profissionais e estudantes de saúde e educação. Adotou-se uma metodologia de cinedebates que foram gravados, transcritos e codificados. O circuito percorreu 22 localidades com uma ou mais exibições para 3.370 pessoas, das quais nove apresentações foram analisadas. Guiaram as interpretações as noções de relato de vida, pacto biográfico, imaginário e representação social. Foram analisadas as questões de gênero, família e cuidado materno; reações, adaptações e convivência após o diagnóstico da deficiência; discriminação e preconceito; escola e inclusão. O estudo fundamenta como a força comunicativa e expressiva do cinema torna-se uma potente tecnologia social para trabalhar gênero, maternidade e deficiência como um tema relevante e estratégico para a saúde pública no país.

Abstract The article analyzes the impact of a documentary on the daily lives of mothers and children with disabilities, exhibited at conferences, festivals, universities and schools in Brazil, Colombia and Japan. Produced by film and health professionals, social scientists and a women’s network, the feature film “A special day” was awarded at Assim Vivemos VI International Disability Film Festival (2013-2014). The objective is to analyze the impact of the film and its diffusion among professionals and students from health and education areas. We adopted a methodology of cine debates that were recorded, transcribed and coded. The circuit toured 22 locations with one or more exhibitions for 3.370 people, of which nine presentations were analyzed. Our interpretations were guided by the notions as life account, biographical pact, imaginary and social representation. We analyzed gender issues, family and maternal care; reactions, adaptations and life after the diagnosis of disabilities; discrimination and prejudice; school and inclusion. The study showed that the communicative and expressive power of film becomes a powerful social technology to address gender, maternity and disability as an important and strategic issue for public health in the country.

A percepção da condição bucal é um importante indicador de saúde, pois sintetiza a condição real de saúde, as respostas subjetivas, os valores e as expectativas culturais. O estudo avaliou a importância da saúde bucal segundo a percepção de pacientes internados em um hospital da cidade de Araçatuba (SP). Foi aplicado um questionário semi-estruturado para a coleta de dados e utilizado para análise estatística o programa Epi Info 2000. Os resultados mostraram que metade dos pacientes haviam realizado a última visita ao cirurgião-dentista em um período compreendido entre seis a doze meses devido a problemas periodontais (35%) e cárie dentária (20%). Observou-se que, embora todos os pacientes considerassem ter uma "boa" higiene bucal, o tratamento periodontal foi identificado como o de maior necessidade entre os pacientes (67,93%). A presença do cirurgião-dentista no corpo clínico hospitalar foi considerada por todos os entrevistados como fundamental para contribuir no cuidado integral à saúde dos pacientes hospitalizados. Quanto ao papel do dentista em um hospital, a grande maioria dos pacientes (90,63%) afirmou ser o "cuidar dos dentes". Assim, conclui-se que todos os pacientes têm conhecimento do quão é importante a manutenção das condições adequadas de saúde bucal, principalmente em pacientes hospitalizados.

The perception of oral condition is an important health indicator as it synthesizes the condition of objective health, subjective answers, cultural values and expectative. The study evaluated the importance of oral health according to the perception of inpatients of a hospital unit at Araçatuba city, São Paulo State. A partially structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The program Epi Info 2000 was used to statistics analysis. The results show that half of patients affirmed that visited a dental surgeon on a period between 6 and 12 months due to periodontal problems (35%) and dental caries (20%). It was observed that although all patients consider to have a good oral hygiene, the periodontal treatment was identified like the more necessary among them (67.93%). The presence of a dental surgeon at the hospital clinical group was considered by all the patients essential to collaborate with the integral care of health of inpatients. About the role of dental surgeon in a hospital, the majority of patients (90.63%) affirmed to be the act of "caring on the teeth". So, it is possible to conclude that all the patients know the importance of the maintenance of oral health appropriated conditions specially of inpatients.

O profissional de saúde é um ponto-chave para a implementação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). À medida que exerce sua função, o sistema passa do aspecto teórico-conceitual para a prática da atenção. Objetivou-se neste estudo verificar o nível de conhecimento sobre o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) dos coordenadores de saúde bucal e cirurgiões-dentistas do serviço público dos 40 municípios da região noroeste do Estado de São Paulo. Utilizou-se um questionário estruturado, autoaplicável, composto de questões referentes aos princípios doutrinários e organizativos do SUS, controle social, financiamento, formação de recursos humanos, atenção e assistência em saúde. Dos entrevistados, 77 (89,5%) não sabiam quem era o responsável pelo planejamento e execução da assistência, 53 (61,6%) não tinham conhecimento de equidade, 46 (53,5%) de fundo de saúde e 45 (52,3%) de controle social. Conclui-se que existe deficiência no conhecimento de determinados assuntos, havendo necessidade de promoção de cursos a respeito da filosofia do SUS.

The health professional is a key element for the implementation of Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS - National Health System). As it executes its function, this system goes from the theoretical and conceptual aspect to the care practice. The aim of this study was to verify the knowledge level about the National Health System (SUS) of the oral health coordinators and dental surgeons working in the public service of the forty cities located in the northwest region of the State of São Paulo. The study used a structured, self-administered questionnaire with questions about the National Health System's doctrinal and organizational principles, social control, financing, human resources education, health care and assistance. Among the interviewees, 77 (89.5%) did not know who was responsible for the planning and execution of assistance, 53 (61.6%) did not have knowledge about equity, 46 (53.5%) about health capital and 45 (52.3%) about social control. The conclusion was that there is lack of knowledge regarding some subjects; therefore, it is necessary to offer courses about the philosophy of the National Health System (SUS).
