Associated factors of prosthetic rehabilitation in specialized dental care in Brazil: a cross-sectional study

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to analyze the individual and contextual factors associated with prosthetic rehabilitation in Dental Specialty Centers (DSC) in Brazil. A cross-sectional study, with secondary data from modules II and III of the External Assessment of the 2nd Cycle of the National Program for the Improvement of Access and Quality (PMAQ) of DSCs, was conducted in 2018. Individual variables considered were socioeconomic conditions and perceptions about the structure and service of the DSC. Contextual variables were related to DSC. We considered the region of the country (capital or countryside), geographic location and work process of the DSC for prosthetic rehabilitation. The association between individual and contextual variables and prosthetic rehabilitation in the DSC was analyzed by multilevel logistic regression.

RESULTS

Ten thousand three hundred ninety-one users from 1,042 DSC participated. Of these, 24.4% used dental prosthesis and 26.0% performed at the DSC. In the final analysis, performed dental prostheses in the DSC individuals with less education (OR = 1.23; CI95%:1.01-1.50) and residents of the same city as the DSC (OR = 1.69; CI95%:1.07-2.66), at a contextual level, DSCs of the countryside (OR = 1.41; CI95%:1.01-1.97) were associated with the outcome. Individual and contextual factors were associated with prosthetic rehabilitation in the DSC.

Prevenção e controle do câncer bucal: contribuição da Comissão Intergestores Bipartite no estado do Rio de Janeiro

RESUMO A ampliação do acesso à prevenção e controle do câncer bucal demanda a construção de uma rede intermunicipal de cuidado e a Comissão Intergestores Bipartite (CIB) tem papel central nesse processo. Objetiva-se analisar, sob a ótica da Teoria da Estruturação, a participação da CIB na estruturação da prevenção e controle do câncer bucal no Sistema Único de Saúde, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Realizou-se um estudo de caso exploratório, com análise de documentos da CIB do Rio de Janeiro entre 1996 e 2019. A coleta dos dados foi realizada no primeiro trimestre de 2020. Foram analisados 739 documentos pelas categorias: Constituição da rede de saúde; Financiamento das ações de saúde; Qualificação profissional em saúde. As discussões na CIB se mostraram limitadas devido uma característica mais municipalista e menos regionalizada no estado. O acesso ao tratamento rendeu debates que contribuíram com a expansão, mesmo que limitada, da rede hospitalar e com a reorganização da regulação. Identificou-se que esse espaço formal de negociação e decisão intergestores se transformou em um espaço meramente informativo ou deliberativo pro forma, o que traz limitações para estruturação das ações regionais de prevenção e controle do câncer bucal no estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Contextual and local determinants associated with the achievement of goals in the endodontics specialty in Brazilian dental speciality centres: A multilevel analysis

OBJECTIVES

To assess which factors were associated with the achievement of endodontic goals.

METHODS

Cross-sectional study using secondary data from the second cycle of the Program for the Improvement of Access and Quality in the dental speciality centres-in Portuguese PMAQ-CEO. The independent variables extracted from this database were related to dental speciality centres (CEO in Portuguese). In addition, variables referring to the CEO host city were incorporated into the model. The outcome variable was the number of endodontic goals achieved calculated from the production of the CEO available in the Ambulatory Health Information System in 2018. Descriptive analyses and multilevel Poisson regression were performed with the software SPSS 23.0 and STATA 14.0.

RESULTS

CEOs with more than 20% of patients' absenteeism were 26% less likely to reach the goals of the endodontics specialty; CEOs with availability of endodontists for more than 40 hours a week were two times more likely to reach the goals than those with less than 40 hours in endodontics specialty. CEOs with a waiting time for endodontic procedures greater than 45 days achieved a number of goals 31% lower than those with a waiting time up to 45 days. CEO type I and CEO type II showed 2.10 and 1.20 higher likelihood to reach the number of goals of the endodontics specialty than CEO type III. The number of endodontic instruments in sufficient number was positively associated with the achievement of goals. CEOs located in municipalities that reached more than 5% in the supervised brushing indicator had 2.26 greater likelihood to achieve the goals than those that did not reach this percentage.

CONCLUSION

Contextual and local determinants are associated with the achievement of goals in the endodontic specialty in the dental speciality centres in Brazil.

[Trends in performance indicators and production monitoring in Specialized Dental Clinics in Brazil]

This study aimed to assess time trends in production and performance indicators in secondary dental care services in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) from 2008 to 2018. A time series study was conducted, based on production data from the Specialized Dental Clinics (CEOs in Portuguese) obtained from the Ambulatory Information System of the SUS. The monitoring indicator was assessed as the proportion of clinics that met the monthly target set for each specialty (primary care, endodontics, surgery, periodontics). Dental services' performance was defined as poor for those that met only one or no targets in the four dental specialties. The time series were analyzed by the decomposition method, considering the components trend, seasonal variation, and random variation. All the analyses were performed for Brazil as a whole and for each of the country's five major geographic regions. A decline was seen in Brazil as a whole in the proportion of clinics that met the primary care targets. There were upward trends in the proportion of compliance with the targets for surgery and periodontics in Brazil as a whole. Important differences were seen between the regions of Brazil in the proportion of compliance with the targets, with the worst performance for the clinics in the North and Northeast regions. Time trends showed an improvement in the services for Brazil as a whole, while emphasizing the importance of assessing the country's regions and the need for constant monitoring of these indicators.
