Effectiveness of oral health prevention programs in school age children

Qu, Wenyu January 2013 (has links)
(Thesis: M.A.) / In 2000, US Surgeon General David Satcher released a report on the severity of oral health disease in the high risk demographic. His grave report ushered in an era of oral health prevention programs utilizing a combination of education, mouth rinses, fluoride varnishes, dental sealants, and more invasive procedures. Given this wide range of acceptable treatment interventions available, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of certain treatments both by themselves and in tandem with one another on target high risk school age children. The first program we analyzed was a fluoride mouth rinse program based in North Carolina. While we found that although this program may have positive impacts on school age children in the future, it did not currently provide statistically significant benefits to these children. Access to Baby and Child Dentistry, a program in Washington State that used a multi-pronged prevention program involving education, fluoride varnishes, and glass ionomer sealants provided a much clearer benefit to reducing the overall dental caries experience in target school age children. Lastly, the ForsythKids Program, based in Massachusetts which utilized a comprehensive care model of caries prevention was shown to be effective in reducing the number of new caries in school age children. Their comprehensive care model consisted of providing the children with fluoride toothpaste, applying fluoride varnish, fitting glass ionomer sealants and temporary restorations. Armed with this information and based on a model involving four steps and two factors crucial in the successful implementation of an oral health prevention program, we hope to offer a foundation for future forays into both installing and maintaining an oral health prevention program.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Silva_LeatricePalieraquiPereirada_M.pdf: 1242355 bytes, checksum: ef5187a958c854e72119f0dfed7aab24 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: Há um consenso de que tratamentos odontológicos são eventos potencialmente estressantes para crianças, principalmente quando envolvem procedimentos invasivos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar se um procedimento de distração não contingente, concomitante ao atendimento, facilitaria o manejo de comportamentos, aumentando a colaboração das crianças. Neste estudo, avaliou-se 03 crianças de 04 anos (PI, PII, PIII), caracterizadas como não colaboradoras, a partir da classificação proposta por Stark et al. (1989). A estratégia de distração realizada na cadeira odontológica ocorreu em sistema de perguntas e respostas, baseadas em figuras, ao longo das sessões. As respostas corretas eram reforçadas socialmente, com entrega de fichas a cada resposta certa e entrega de prêmios ao final de cada sessão. As dezenove sessões foram filmadas e os comportamentos das crianças registrados a cada 15 segundos. Os dados mostraram redução dos comportamentos não colaborativos, por meio da diminuição da freqüência de emissão de comportamentos de protesto, manifestados pela alta freqüência de choro (PI: 1ª sessão:74%, 7ª sessão:35%, PII: 1ª sessão:94%, 6ª sessão:40%, PIII: 1ª sessão:17%, 6ª sessão:18%), sugerindo a eficácia da estratégia de distração não contingente, da forma como foi empregada. Além disso, foi observada uma melhoro no desempenho da criança frente à tarefa distrativa no decorrer das sessões (PI: 2ª sessão:29% e 7ª sessão:100% de acerto, PII: 2ª sessão:25% e 6ª sessão:100% de acerto, PIII: 2ª sessão:20%, 6ª sessão:100% de acerto). Pode-se considerar a técnica de distração como promissora em odontopediatria, pois através dela, mesmo em situações potencialmente aversivas, eliciadoras de respostas de medo, as crianças adquirem novas formas de aprendizagem e enfrentamento, que se deu por meio do desvio da atenção da criança para o estímulo do pôster, a realização de perguntas, a entrega de fichas e brindes ao final de cada sessão / Abstract: It's known that dentistry treatment in children is potentially stressful, especially when invasive procedures are involved. The aim of the study was to investigate if a non-contingent distraction procedure, during the treatment, would facilitate behavior management increasing the children¿s cooperation. In the present study 03 four-year old children were evaluated (PI, PII, PIII), presenting non-compliance to the treatment, according to Stark¿s et al. (1989) categorization. The distraction technique carried out in dental chair, during the sessions, involved questions and answers based in pictures. Correct answers were socially reinforced through chips and prizes at the end of the appointment. Nineteen sessions were recorded and the behaviors analyzed in each 15 seconds intervals. It was observed indicative uncooperative behaviors expressed through the high crying frequency (PI: 1st session: 74% and 7th session:35%, PII: 1st session:94% and 6th session:40%, PIII: 1st session:17% and 6th session:18%) pointing that this non-contingent distraction was not effective in reducing children¿s uncooperative behaviors. However, children¿s distraction task was improved during the treatment (PI: 2nd session:29% and 7th session:100% of correct answers, PII: 2nd session:25% and 6th session:100% of correct answers, PIII: 2nd session:20% and 6th session:100% of correct answers). Distraction is considered a promising technique in pediatric dentistry, because, through this strategy, even in potential stressful situations, that elicit fear, children are able to learn and cope. In the present study the coping strategy acquired by the children was to focus in the stimulus of the poster, questions, chips and prizes / Mestrado / Saude da Criança e do Adolescente / Mestre em Saude da Criança e do Adolescente

Avaliação da qualidade do preparo de canais de dentes decíduos artificiais utilizando o sistema de rotação recíproca / Evaluation of the quality of preparation of artificial deciduous teeth canal using the reciprocal system of rotation canal preparation

Janaina de Oliveira Moraes 10 August 2015 (has links)
O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o preparo de canais radiculares de dentes decíduos artificiais com o uso dos sistemas manual, rotatório e de rotação recíproca, no que diz respeito ao desgaste promovido após a instrumentação dos canais radiculares e o tempo necessário para a realização da instrumentação. Os fatores em estudo foram técnica de instrumentação em três níveis e área de avaliação no canal radicular em três níveis. Foram utilizados apenas os dentes multiradiculares (primeiro molar superior, segundo molar superior, primeiro molar inferior e segundo molar inferior), compondo 24 dentes os quais foram aleatoriamente divididos entre as três técnicas de instrumentação em estudo: manual, Sistema rotatório Mtwo e Sistema de rotação recíproca Reciproc. A unidade amostral foi conduto radicular (n=20). Os condutos radiculares foram escaneados no tomógrafo de TCFC (Accuitomo). Após a instrumentação dos dentes novas imagens foram realizadas, avaliações quantitativas foram feitas medindo-se nas imagens axiais dos canais radiculares, a espessura das paredes em três diferentes regiões: terços apical, médio e cervical. As variáveis de resposta analisadas foram cálculo do transporte do canal, cálculo da descentralização e tempo de instrumentação. Tanto para a avalição da descentralização, quanto para a avaliação do transporte, os dados foram transformados e analisados por ANOVA a 2 critérios e Teste de Tukey, para os dados da comparação dos tempos foi utilizado o teste de Kruskal-Wallis e Teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Para a avaliação do transporte do canal e da descentralização não foi encontrada diferença estatística significativa entre os tipos de instrumentação e terços radiculares (p>0,05). Na avaliação do tempo de preparo, o grupo do sistema reciprocante apresentou menor tempo de preparo em comparação com o sistema manual e rotatório (p<0,05). Desta forma conclui-se que os tipos de instrumentação avaliados promoveram um preparo similar dos canais, sem diferença entre os terços cervical, médio e apical, sendo que o sistema de rotação recíproca resultou em um menor tempo de instrumentação. / The objective of this study was to compare the preparation of root canals of artificial deciduous teeth with the use of the manual systems, rotational and reciprocal rotation, with regard the detrition promoted after instrumentation of root canals and the time necessary for the realization of instrumentation. The factors in study were the techniques of instrumentation in tree levels and the area of root canal in tree levels. Have been used only teeth multirooted (first molar, second molar, lower first molar and second molar), composing 24 teeth which were randomly divided among the three instrumentation techniques under study: manual, rotational system Mtwo and reciprocal rotation system Reciproc. The sample unit was root canal (n = 20). The root canals were scanned in tomographer CBCT (Accuitomo). After instrumentation of new images teeth were conducted quantitative evaluations were made by measuring the axial images of the root canals, the wall thickness at three different regions: apex, middle and cervical thirds. Response variables analyzed were calculating the channel transport, decentralization and calculation time instrumentation. Both for the evaluation of decentralization, as for the evaluation of transportation, data were processed and analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey 2 criteria test to the data comparing the times we used the Kruskal-Wallis test and Tukey test (p <0.05). For the evaluation of the channel transport and decentralization was no statistically significant difference between the types of instrumentation and root thirds (p> 0.05). In assessing the preparation time, the reciprocating system group showed less preparation time compared to the manual system and rotary (p <0.05). Thus it is concluded that the types of instrument reviews promoted a similar preparation of channels, no difference between the cervical, middle and apical thirds, and the reciprocal rotation resulted in a shorter time instrumentation.

A Comparison of Treatment Planning Modalities for the Pediatric Dental Patient

Holland, Martha M 01 January 2017 (has links)
Purpose: To assess the treatment modalities of pediatric dentists for restoring Class II lesions in primary molars. Methods: A survey of eight cases was emailed to AAPD members, who were asked to choose a stainless steel crown (SSC) or composite resin. Treatment choice was associated with provider type, years in practice, behavior management, lesion detection, and patient age. Results: Clinically detectable caries restored under general anesthesia were treated more often with a SSC. Faculty and residents chose a SSC at a greater rate. Providers with 10 or more years experience chose a SSC more often. Conclusions: The scope of treatment planning encompasses numerous factors. Because of the multifactorial nature of treatment planning for the pediatric dental patient, it would be beneficial for the AAPD to produce a treatment planning decision tree in order to better direct practitioners in their development of patient-centered treatment plans.
