Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to perform an economic evaluation of a targeted school-based dental checkup program in northern metropolitan Melbourne, Victoria. A 12-mo retrospective case-control cohort analysis using the decision tree method evaluated the incremental cost-utility and cost-effectiveness ratio (ICUR/ICER) for passive standard care dental services and an outreach pilot intervention completed in 2013. A societal perspective was adopted. A total of 273 children ( n = 273) aged between 3 and 12 y met the inclusion/exclusion criteria: 128 in the standard care group and 145 in the intervention group. The total society costs included health sector costs, patient/family costs, and productivity losses in 2014 Australian dollars. Outcome measures were evaluated using quality-adjusted tooth years (QATY) and the combined deciduous and permanent decayed, missing, and filled teeth prevented (DMFT-prevented). A generic outcome variable was created to determine the impact of the intervention to reach underserved populations based on government concession eligibility (cardholder status). Uncertainties were incorporated using 95% confidence intervals. The mean total society cost per child is $463 and $291 ( P = 0.002), QATY utility difference is 0.283 and 0.293 ( P = 0.937), effectiveness difference is 0.16 and 0.10 ( P = 0.756), and cardholder status is 50.0% and 66.2% ( P = 0.007), respectively, for the standard care and intervention groups. On average per child, there was a cost saving of $172 and improvement of 0.01 QATY, with an additional proportion of 16.2% of cardholder children reached. The calculated ICER was $3,252 per DMFT-prevented. The intervention dominates standard care for QATY and per 1% cardholder reached outcome measures. Our study found the pilot checkup program was largely less costly and more effective compared with the current standard care. Further research is needed to quantify the value of outreach interventions to prevent dental caries development and progression in populations from low socioeconomic status. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The findings of this research demonstrated that an outreach dental program can be less costly and more effective than standard models of dental care. It showed that a school-based dental checkup program is beneficial despite other opinions that dental screening is ineffective as a method to improve public dental health. There is fiscal economic evidence to support broader expansion of similar programs locally and internationally to reduce dental caries for children from low-income families.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to compare the socioeconomic make-up and the dental caries and dental treatment patterns of a general dental practice (GDP) population of five-year-old children with those of the total resident population of five-year-old children in a specific locality, and, secondly, to examine the process of gathering information on oral healthcare needs in primary dental care. The study was set in Halton, North Cheshire. Data were collected retrospectively from the patient records of four GDP ‘sentinel’ practices using a common data abstraction form. The socioeconomic profiles of the GDP population and the 1995/6 NHS child dental health survey population were compared using the Super Profiles geodemographic classification by plotting frequency distributions. The dmft of each population was compared by calculating 95% confidence intervals. The GDP population showed a slight over-representation in the more affluent groupings of the Super Profiles Lifestyle categories and a more dramatic under-representation in two of the more deprived groupings. The confidence intervals for dt and dmft of the GDP data did not include the mean figures produced by the NHS survey, indicating a significant difference at the P<0.05 level. These differences may be accounted for by the differences in the socioeconomic make-up of the two populations. Local practice policies on patient selection may also have a consequential effect on population disease estimates derived from primary dental care. Data on population disease experience from primary dental care could only be produced by hand-sorting through patient records, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Standardised electronic systems will need to be developed to make GDP data-collection a viable proposition. Information from primary dental care has the potential to make a major contribution to locality oral health needs assessment and it should be seen as being complementary to information gathered from epidemiological surveys.

Abstract:

This paper suggests that priorities for research in primary dental care should follow the examples set in other areas of primary healthcare. It reviews the history of research in primary dental care, since 1990, and goes on to explain how the Delphi exercise, initiated by the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK), has identified five priority areas for research in primary dental care. These areas are: 1. Research into the application of evidence-based dentistry into practice. 2. The effects of different systems of remuneration on treatment patterns in practice. 3. The oral health assessment on determining recall intervals and its effect on oral health. 4. Factors that influence and affect dentists’ treatment modalities. 5. The evaluation of the cost benefits of whole team training.

Abstract:

In French law, the state is responsible for ensuring equal access to health care for people with disabilities. No system exists within dentistry to guarantee this—there are no salaried public service workers, over 85% of dentists work in general practice, and hospital dentistry is poorly developed. Public funding is available for care coordination initiatives termed “Health Networks”. The objective of this study is to report on an internal evaluation of the Réseau Santé Bucco-Dentaire et Handicap de la région Rhône-Alpes (RSBDH), a Health Network coordinating dentistry for persons with disability in the Rhône-Alpes region, and to discuss the French model of Health Networks as a response to improve access to care. Existing governmental guidelines for the evaluation of Networks were adapted for the RSBDH. The RSBDH coordinated dentists to ensure screening, prevention, and treatment for 3219 persons with disability in 2015. Identified strengths included the identification of vulnerable persons, improved access to treatment and collaboration with primary care services. Weaknesses included training of professionals, continuity of care, information sharing, and stakeholder participation. In 2015, the cost was €501 per patient. This model raises major issues of cost, training, equity, and quality of care within special care dentistry. This discussion is relevant to many countries where models of service provision are currently being developed.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to assess the awareness of oral health care providers and dental students regarding radiation safety, protection and legislation pertaining to dental radiography in South Africa. An online questionnaire consisting of 20 structured multiple-choice questions was distributed among final year students and oral health care providers. The mean, median, standard deviation (SD) and frequencies were determined statistically to compare the number of correct answers for each responder group. In total, 189 questionnaires were analysed. The average number of correct answers was 11.6 out of 20 (58%) for all responders. Dental students presented with the highest percentage (66%) of correct answers. Higher radiation awareness was evident among the respondents who had undertaken continued education courses. Radiation awareness among oral health care providers in South Africa needs improvement. Greater emphasis should be placed on dental radiology courses to increase the knowledge and awareness. However, there is no officially established benchmark of radiation awareness in South Africa.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Dental unit water systems are contaminated with biofilms that amplify bacterial counts in dental treatment water in excess of a million colony forming units per milliliter (cfu/ml). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Dental Association have agreed that the maximum allowable contamination of dental treatment water not exceed 500 cfu/ml. This study was conducted to evaluate two protocols in controlling contamination of dental unit water systems and dental treatment water. Both methods used an antimicrobial self-dissolving chlorine dioxide (ClO2) tablet at a high concentration (50 ppm) to shock the dental unit water system biofilms initially followed by periodic exposure. To treat dental treatment source water for patient care, 3 parts per million (ppm) ClO2 in municipal/tap water was compared to use of a citrus botanical extract dissolved in municipal water. Heterotrophic microbial counts of effluent water and laser scanning confocal microscopy were performed to evaluate effects of the two treatments. Results from this study indicated that both treatments were effective in controlling biofilm contamination and reducing heterotrophic plate counts <500 cfu/ml. A comprehensive study addressing compatibility of 50 ppm ClO2 on the metals and nonmetal components of the dental water system and effects of low-grade chemicals used on composite bonding to dentin and enamel is warranted before translation from efficacy studies to common clinical use. Clinical significance This study provides evidence-based information of using two methods of controlling dental treatment water contamination. The study was conducted in a clinical practice setting in an active dental clinic and the results are meaningful to a clinician who is interested in providing safe dental treatment water for patient care.

Abstract:

100 Background: Pre-treatment dental evaluations are recommended for head and neck (H&N) cancer patients (pts) prior to radiation therapy (RT) to minimize the risk of acute and long-term side effects of treatment. We previously created a dental instructional guide (DIG) outlining the necessary components of the pre-radiation dental evaluation for pts undergoing community-based dental evaluation. Yet our program did not have a system for documenting which pts received the DIG. We aimed to create a system to ensure that pts are given the DIG early in their care-plan and that such pts are readily identifiable so we can follow-up and confirm that the recommended dental care is complete prior to starting RT. Methods: Chart review was performed to determine the percentage of eligible pts with documented provision of the DIG. A diagnostic survey of H&N oncology clinicians was analyzed with a Pareto chart to determine common barriers to DIG provision and documentation. Clinicians were surveyed on potential ways to document DIG provision to eligible pts. The Model for Improvement and DMAIC (Six Sigma) methodologies were used and multiple Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles were performed to implement the intervention and monitor change. Change data was analyzed using a P-chart, 3-sigma. Results: We used a process map to identify 3 potential care-plans within the H&N oncology program and assist in defining which providers had primary responsibility for providing the DIG. We then designed and implemented a template within the electronic medical record that documents the clinician who gave the DIG and the date it was given. There was an improvement in the rate of DIG documentation from a baseline of 0% (range 0-0%) to a mean of 40% (range 0-100%) over 3-months (p<0.01). This improvement was sustained through last follow-up at 5 months. Conclusions: Through a multidisciplinary approach, we implemented an intervention to identify pts undergoing community-based dental evaluation prior to RT for H&N cancer. Further efforts are focused on increasing the DIG documentation rate and increasing our interaction with community dentists to promote expeditious pre-radiation dental care.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the profile of patients attending the Emergency Dental Clinic at São José dos Campos Dental School, UNESP-São Paulo State University, between 2006 and 2010, evaluating the gender, ethnicity, age, diagnosis and treatment performed for resolution of the cases. Materials and methods A total of 600 dental records were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Fisher and Chi-square tests at a significance level of 5%. The dental records included information on the patients’ name, gender, age, ethnicity, phone number, date of attendance, diagnosis and treatment performed. The case history addressed the chief complaint, medical and dental history of the patient. The clinical evaluation comprised tests, such as visual examination of the intraoral hard and soft tissues, tooth percussion, palpation, probing, pulp sensitivity test and radiographic examination. The diagnosis and treatment for each case were established based on the case history and clinical tests. Results There was predominance of female gender (59.17%) and patients aged 20 to 39 years (49.67%). Most procedures were performed to solve endodontic emergencies (37.5%), followed by placement of dressings (10.6%), tooth extraction (8.9%), periodontal problems (4.6%) and cementation of provisional crowns or definitive dentures (4.5%). Conclusion Dental caries and its consequences were the main factors involved in the emergency attendances. There is a constant need of health promotion, considering that the patients searched for restorative treatments without the necessary emphasis on prevention. Additional studies are needed to determine strategies for decreasing the use of emergency services for nonemergency dental problems. Clinical relevance The diagnosis and treatment of dental emergencies are challenging. If inadequately performed, they may cause difficulties or even failures in pain relief, worsening or delaying the continuation of treatment planning and accomplishment.

Abstract:

Background: High-quality data in Electronic Dental Records (EDR) is essential for dental schools to provide high-quality patient care, improve dental students’ professionalism, and support a platform for research. Therefore, ensuring data quality in EDRs is extremely important. Objective: To perform a quality appraisal of EDRs by evaluating their accuracy and completeness. Methods: This was a Cross-sectional Observational Study conducted over four consecutive years in a dental school setting. Manual chart reviews were performed on an annual basis. EDR data were audited for accuracy and completeness. Accuracy was evaluated by comparing the entered data with an external source, where possible. An EDR data field was considered complete if it was not missing. Results: A total of 1,720 de-identified chart reviews were studied. The accuracy of the data to identify the patient was 93%. The completeness of the essential components of EDRs was 48-94%. Completeness was highest for documenting the patient’s chief complaint (94%) and the lowest for recall plan (48%). Completeness of data documenting social and behavioral determinants of health in EDRs was 36-77%, with the highest proportion of completeness in this domain being for oral hygiene habits, smoking habits, and social history. Conclusion: The quality appraisal of EDRs varied according to the data field. Understanding patterns of accuracy and completeness in EDRs will guide training and quality enforcement activities.

Abstract:

Background: Oral health has been an integral component of general health, with a serious impact on the quality of life and the overall well-being. Limited availability and accessibility of oral health services are risk factors for poor oral health and diseases. This study aimed to observe common dental disease pattern and to evaluate drug utilization pattern among patients visiting Dental Outpatient Department of Dhulikhel Hospital- Kathmandu University Hospital. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2018 to January 2019 in Dental Outpatient Department of Dhulikhel Hospital-Kathmandu University Hospital. Two hundred forty prescriptions were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out to find out common dental disease pattern and to evaluate drug utilization pattern. Results: Total 240 prescriptions were analyzed. Pulpitis 54 (22.5%) was the most common diagnosis, followed by periapical abscess 34 (14.16%). Out of 411 drugs prescribed, 166 (40.38%) were analgesics, 116 (28.22%) were antibiotics and 93 (22.62) were topical agents. Combination of paracetamol with ibuprofen was most commonly prescribed analgesics 133 (80.12%) and combination of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid was most commonly prescribed antibiotics 51 (43.97%). Out of all drugs prescribed, fixed dose combination was given in 194 (47.20%). Only 260 (63.26%) drugs were given by generic name and 133 (32.36%) drugs were from National List of Essential Medicines-Nepal. Conclusions: Awareness among dental doctors for prescribing drugs by generic name and from essential drug lists should be encouraged.

Abstract:

The major dental diseases, including erosion, caries and periodontal disease, are preventable, and the Department of Health has produced guidelines in a ‘Prevention Toolkit’ to aid prevention of these diseases in primary care. Aim To investigate patients’ knowledge of the key themes in the Prevention Toolkit and to compare their knowledge of the different dental diseases. Methods Patients attending a general dental practice in North West England were asked to complete a questionnaire while they waited to see their dentist. The questionnaire had been piloted for readability, relevance of questions, and ease of use. It included nine true/false questions on key prevention messages. Data from the respondents were used to assess whether there were differences in knowledge by age or gender and between the types of dental diseases. Results were analysed using chi-square tests. Results 105 patients completed the questionnaire. Of the 420 questions relating to periodontal diseases, 322 (77%) were answered correctly and 196 (47%) of the 420 questions on caries were answered correctly; however, only 32 (31%) of the 105 questions relating to erosion were answered correctly. There were significantly lower levels of knowledge of caries ( P<0.01) compared with periodontal diseases. Worryingly, 47 (45%) of 105 respondents stated incorrectly that brushing teeth immediately after consuming a ‘fizzy’ drink would protect the teeth. Conclusion The results of this pilot service evaluation indicate that in the practice concerned, more needs to be done to promote disease prevention at the primary care level. The current questionnaire could form a valuable tool to audit and reinforce patients’ knowledge, although it needs further development and validation. Longitudinal evaluation of the questionnaire, linking it with disease outcome measures, has the potential to indicate whether change in knowledge translates into behavioural change.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The aim of dental health education is to impart knowledge on the causes of oral diseases and providing the ways and possibilities of their prevention and adequate treatment. Health education would highlight the necessity of proper nutrition, maintenance of oral hygiene with the use of fluoride products, and other regimen as well as drive attention toward the significance of regular check-ups with a dentist. Public health dentistry in India has become the only key toward future dental workforce and strategies. There have been numerous challenges which exist for expanding oral health care in India, in which the biggest challenge is the need for dental health planners with relevant qualifications and training in public health dentistry. There is a serious lack of authentic and valid data for assessment of community demands, as well as the lack of an organized system for monitoring oral health care services to guide planners. Based on the aim for sustained development, human resource planning and utilization should be used along with a system of monitoring and evaluation. Hence, both demand and supply influence the ability of the dental workforce to adequately and efficiently provide dental care to an Indian population which is growing in size and diversity.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Dental caries among preschool children is common but there is scarcity of updated data about its prevalence among Nepalese preschool children. This study was conducted to evaluate prevalence, Significant Caries Index, Caries pattern, Restorative care index and Disparity ratio among preschool children of Kathmandu aged 3-6 years. METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted on 17 preschools of Kathmandu following WHO criteria. Data were analysed using SPSS 20 and descriptive statistics was applied. RESULTS: Prevalence of dental caries was 803 (55.6%) with a mean deft of 3.28±3.581 and Significant Caries Index score was 7.439. Caries pattern showed the most commonly decayed teeth were mandibular second molars followed by maxillary central incisors. The least affected teeth were mandibular lateral incisors. The restorative care index was 106 (7.32%) in the total sample size and 14 (2.86%) in the SiC and disparity ratio was 2.26. CONCLUSIONS: The SiC Index indicated high dental caries prevalence; severity rates and restorative care index indicated little experience of restorative treatment in preschool children of Kathmandu identifying the need for more targeted efforts to reach preschool children early to effectively address unmet oral health needs. KEYWORDS: caries pattern; dental caries; Kathmandu; preschool; significant caries index.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction Dental care can improve athletes’ performance, promoting oral health and preventing changes that could disrupt their sports routine. Objective To evaluate the dental conditions, habits, and oral health care of volleyball athletes, and their knowledge of the importance of oral health in sports performance. Methods Sixty-four male athletes participated in the study: 40 from the basic categories (16 ± 3 years) and 24 professionals (25 ± 5 years). For the assessment of oral conditions, changes in the temporomandibular joint, history of facial and dental trauma, and the presence of malocclusions and orthodontic treatment were verified. Hygiene was measured by the visible plaque index. To determine the athletes’ oral hygiene, they were asked how many times per day they brushed their teeth, flossed their teeth, or used oral mouthwash. Finally, we evaluated the athletes’ opinions concerning the importance of oral health and sports performance. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney and Fisher’s Exact tests, with a significance level of 5%. Results For most of the parameters evaluated, similar results were found between professional and baseline athletes (p> 0.05). However, for the parameters “flossing” (p = 0.0027) and “facial/dental trauma” (p = 0.0444), significant differences were observed (p <0.05) between the categories of athletes. Conclusion We conclude that professional athletes are more prone to facial/dental trauma, and that the presence of a dental surgeon to assist the team improves athletes’ overall oral health. Level of evidence II; Retrospective study.

Abstract:

ADVOCATE (Added Value for Oral Care) is a project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program, which aims to develop strategies for a system transition toward more patient-centered and prevention-oriented oral health care delivery within health care systems. This system should balance the restorative and preventive approaches in dental and oral health care. ADVOCATE is a partnership among 6 European Union member states, which involves collaboration among universities, state-funded health care providers, and private insurance companies in Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Aridhia, a biomedical informatics company based in Scotland. There are 6 interrelated work packages, which aim to address the following objectives: 1) in-depth evaluation of oral health care systems in European Union member states to identify best system designs for oral disease prevention, 2) development of a set of measures to provide information on oral care delivery and oral health outcomes, 3) evaluation of a feedback approach in dental practice that aims to facilitate a change toward preventive oral health care delivery, and 4) economic evaluation of strategies to promote preventive oral health care and development of policy recommendations for oral health care systems. The project is novel in its use of data that are routinely collected by health insurance organizations, as well as the engagement of key stakeholders from dental teams, insurers, patients, and policy makers in guiding the development and progress of the project. This article outlines in detail the objectives and research methodology of the ADVOCATE project and its anticipated impact. Knowledge Transfer Statement: This commentary describes the development of policy options to promote a greater focus on disease prevention in general dental practice. The approach builds on identifying the comparative effectiveness of alternative incentive schemes, as well as methods to monitor clinical and patient-derived measures of success in creating health for patients. The article describes the development and application of the measures and the evaluation of their success in orienting clinical practice more toward disease prevention.

Abstract:

Herbal tooth powders consisting of various ingredients that are available in the market in a wide range. Hence modern methods focusing on these aspects are useful for the standardization of herbs and their formulations. Consumers believed by using herbal-based toothpowders are safe, effective, and less toxic. This study is thus aimed to provide an alternative to the consumer and formulate herbal tooth powder using Clove, Neem Stem, Acacia Stem, Stevia Leaf, Mustard Oil, Salt, Ginger and Amla. The oral cavity infections are the most common types of infections. Dental caries is an infectious disease, causes damage and infection of enamel and dentine. If it is not treated, the infection continues and will lead to tooth loss. The mouth contains normal flora of opportunistic bacteria that are normally non-pathogenic. The imbalance of this situation causes infection and tooth decay. Streptococcus mutants are considered as the main species involved in the development of dental caries. S. mutants, acid-producing bacteria, causes fermentation of carbohydrates which results in tooth decay. Therefore, in the present work, the following aspects of Herbal tooth powders were planned for the formulation, standardization of herbal tooth powder, and anti-bacterial screening of the extracts of herbal tooth powder.

Abstract:

The Specialized Dental Care Centers (SDCC) have the mission to expand access to public medium complexity dental care and support the primary health care actions at this level of complexity. However, it is necessary to ensure the quality of services and to evaluate such services continuously to identify weaknesses and strengths that support the processes of leadership/management. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of studies on the assessment of oral health in specialized care that may indicate which factors should be investigated. Therefore, this integrated literature review sought to explore the plethora of publications on the evaluation of SDCC in the LILACS and MEDLINE data bases in October 2013 to identify factors possibly related to the performance of such health services. Thus, 13 references were included in this review pointing to forms of organization and management of work processes related to the creation of healthcare networks (operation of regulation centers and setting up of health consortiums). They include the contextual characteristics of the places where SDCCs are located (population size, Family Health Strategy coverage, Municipal Human Development Index, governance, governing capacity) were factors that influenced the SDCCs performance.

Abstract:

Objective: This study investigated the delivery of paediatric (0-17 years) government dental services in New South Wales (NSW), Australia through public dental clinics and the commissioned payments models of Fee-for-Service and Capped-Fee. Method: De-identified patient data from government provided dental care and the commissioned services was sourced from NSW Oral Health Data Warehouse for evaluation and interpretation using descriptive analysis during the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013. Result: The breakdown of dental care provided the associated cost analysis for the study’s cohort that resulted in both years, more than 50 percent dental services offered to paediatric patients were preventive care in all payment systems. The most common preventive items offered were fluoride treatment, dietary advice, oral health education and fissure sealants. Conclusion: There was little difference in the mix of dental care provided between study years and age groups through the three payment systems in NSW. The difference between the government services and those provided via the Fee-for-Service and Capitation payment systems was negligible. This has important implications for the delivery of dental care to public dental care, particularly when patients may not live close to a public dental clinic and also with the interest nationally in giving patients greater choice.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE To examine whether demographic, socioeconomic conditions, oral health subjectivity and characterization of dental care are associated with users’ dissatisfaction with such are. METHODS Cross-sectional study of 781 people who required dental care in Montes Claros, MG, Southeastern Brazil, in 2012, a city with of medium-sized population situated in the North of Minas Gerais. Household interviews were conducted to assess the users’ dissatisfaction with dental care (dependent variable), demographic, socioeconomic conditions, oral health subjectivity and characterization of dental care (independent variables). Sample calculation was used for the finite population, with estimates made for proportions of dissatisfaction in 50.0% of the population, a 5.0% error margin, a non-response rate of 5.0% and a 2.0% design effect. Logistic regression was used, and the odds ratio was calculated with a 5% significance level and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Of the interviewed individuals, 9.0% (7.9%, with correction for design effect) were dissatisfied with the care provided. These were associated with lower educational level; negative self-assessment of oral health; perception that the care provider was unable to give dental care; negative evaluation of the way the patient was treated, the cleanliness of the rooms, based on the examination rooms and the toilets, and the size of the waiting and examination rooms. CONCLUSIONS The rate of dissatisfaction with dental care was low. This dissatisfaction was associated with socioeconomic conditions, subjectivity of oral health, skill of the health professionals relating to the professional-patient relationship and facility infrastructure. Educational interventions are suggested that aim at improving the quality of care among professionals by responsible agencies as is improving the infrastructure of the care units.

Abstract Introduction The Brazilian National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care aims to induce the institution of processes that expand the capacity of federal, state and municipal administrations and Primary Care teams to offer services that ensure greater access and quality. Objective To identify the characteristics of infrastructure for the dental health care of the health units from the Regional Health Care Network 13, from the perspective of a health evaluation. Material and method This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study in which is used the Module V database of the External Evaluation instrument of 156 health units of this region that participated of the 2nd cycle of the referred program, which discuss the modality of the health teams, structure and environment of the dental office, the hours of operation, equipment, instruments and dental supplies. Result In general, the oral health units of this study have dental offices with good structural conditions and sufficient equipment and supplies to carry out clinical activities, except those for dental prostheses, possibly due to the permanence of this service in secondary care. However, they point out that advances in access and coverage by oral health services are still necessary. Conclusion Although the theme includes other studies and reflections, the present work may contribute to discussions about the present condition, and it is recommended the active participation of all the actors involved in the care, in the search for the qualification of oral health services in this region.
