Método: 108 pacientes que iniciaram terapia de desintoxicação foram avaliados clinicamente e obtidos dados sobre as condições de saúde, socioeconômicas, sobre o uso de drogas lícitas e ilícitas por meio de questionário estruturado e avaliação microbiológica. Resultados Dos pacientes avaliados 70,3% apresentavam alguma alteração significativa na cavidade bucal, sendo as mais prevalentes as alterações dentárias (atrição dentária, edentulismo) e periodontais (gengivite e periodontite). Também alterações em mucosa foram vistas (xerostomia, leucoplasias e ceratose), bem como alterações da microbiota bucal. Pode-se evidenciar que o uso de drogas inicia-se a partir de amigos com a intenção de diversão ou aceitação social. Dentre as alterações comportamentais destacam-se os problemas gerados pelas implicações sociais do uso de drogas bem como sintomas de depressão. Conclusão: Doenças infecciosas bucais e modificações comportamentais e cognitivas estão fortemente associadas a dependência química e muitas destas manifestações são pouco familiares dos profissionais da saúde, o que muitas vezes podem comprometer resultados de tratamentos médicos e odontológicos. / Abstract: Objective: This study assessed health of patients with chemical dependency correlating effect of these drugs with changes of normal structures of the oral cavity. Methods: 108 patients who initiated detoxification therapy were evaluated clinically and obtained data on the health, socioeconomic, on the use of licit and illicit drugs by means of a structured questionnaire and microbiological analyses. Results: Among the patients 70.3% had a significant change in the oral cavity, as most prevalent are dental (dental attrition, edentulism) and periodontal (gingivitis and periodontitis). Also mucosa alterations were seen (xerostomia, oral leukoplakia and keratosis) as well buccal microbiota alterations. One can show that drug use begins from friends with the intention of amusement or social acceptability. Among the behavioral changes highlight problems generated by the social implications of drug use and symptoms of depression. Conclusion: Infectious oral diseases and behavioral and cognitive changes are strongly associated with addiction and many of these manifestations are unifamiliar to health professionals, which often can compromise results of medical and dental treatments. / Doutor

Les Tiers Lieux correspondent à des environnements intermédiaires du domicile et de l’entreprise illustrés par les ateliers de fabrication numérique, fablabs, hackerspaces et espaces de co-working. Ces environnements révèlent une typologie d’usagers que sont les étudiants, les amateurs, et les travailleurs professionnels indépendants qui mettent à profit leurs compétences pour réaliser des projets individuels et ou collectifs. Ces projets suivant les modèles sont basés sur le « faire» et sur le « mode projet ». La recherche analyse la manière dont ces environnements se développent sur le territoire francilien et dans différents secteurs : institutionnel, culturel, associatif, et entrepreneurial dans un monde complexe, accéléré et engagé dans le numérique. Pour analyser les Tiers Lieux et rendre compte de leur développement dans la société, nous introduisons une posture critique (interactionnisme critique) qui discute des effets de ces environnements auprès de leurs usagers, en considérant leurs sociabilités et les différents équipements techniques et technologiques existant.La thèse porte également sur l’informatisation sociale comme processus de convergence des TIC dans les activités humaines internes aux Tiers Lieux. Le rapport au capitalisme cognitif (moteur de recherche, plateformes numériques de diffusion de la connaissance et réseaux sociaux) est discuté, lequel s’illustre par une accumulation de la connaissance et de la créativité (investissement immatériel) à travers l’utilisation des TIC par et pour les porteurs de projets. / The Third Places correspond to intermediate environments of home and business illustrated by digital manufacturing workshops, fablabs, hackerspaces and co-working spaces. These environments reveal a typology of users that are students, amateurs, and independent professional workers who use their skills to achieve individual and collective projects These projects following the models are based on the "doing" and on the "Project mode". The research analyzes the way in which these environments develop in the Paris area and in different sectors: institutional, cultural, associative, and entrepreneurial in a complex, accelerated and digital world. To analyze the Third Places and give an account of their development in society, we introduce a critical posture (critical interactionism) that discusses the effects of these environments on their users, considering their sociability and the different technical and technological equipment available. The thesis also focuses on social computerization as a process of convergence of ICTs in human activities internal to the Third Place. The relationship to cognitive capitalism (search engine, digital platforms for the diffusion of knowledge and social networks) is discussed, which is illustrated by an accumulation of knowledge and creativity (intangible investment) through the use of ICTs by and for the project leaders.

Thus, this study aimed to assess the oral health status in patients with chemical subjection and the effect of these drugs on the Socransky red complex members occurrence in the mouth. Data have been obtained on health and socioeconomic conditions, and on the use of licit and illicit drugs in 108 patients of both genders who started detoxification therapy, as well as number of 100 patients of both genders who had no addiction, that constituted the control group. Intra and extra oral clinical examinations were performed, and supra and subgingival biofilm, saliva and mucous membranes samples were transferred to ultrapure water at the beginning of the hospitalization period. The same has been done with the control group patients. The samples present in ultrapure water were subjected to detection of Socransky red complex periodontal pathogens by PCR. Calculations of odds ratios were performed to determine inter-relationships relevance between different microorganisms, and the clinical and microbiological parameters significance were determined by multivariate logistic regression. It was observed the most of dependents makes use of various chemical agents, licit and illicit, and most of them refused to declare to which agents felt dependency. The studied microorganisms prevalence was significantly higher in dependent patients, although the difference between the two groups, dependent and controlled, was more pronounced among healthy individuals and with gingivitis, in both groups. The studied microorganisms also showed a relationship with clinical periodontal diseases parameters such as tooth mobility and bone loss. It was concluded that drug addiction can come to be...
