No período gestacional, a mulher deve ser incentivada a ter mais conhecimento sobre a saúde do bebê, pois os hábitos de higiene adquiridos na infância podem permanecer durante toda a vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento das gestantes acompanhadas em Unidades Básicas de Saúde no município de Quixadá-CE sobre a saúde bucal do bebê. Esta pesquisa respeita as normas da resolução 466/12 do CNS e foi submetido e aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da Unicatólica. O estudo foi realizado no período de agosto a setembro de 2017, em três unidades Básicas de Saúde pertencentes à zona urbana do município de Quixadá-CE. A coleta de dados se deu através de um questionário estruturado elaborado, composto de perguntas objetivas relacionadas com a transmissibilidade da cárie dentária, os cuidados básicos com a saúde bucal e a Odontologia na 1° Infância que foi preenchido por cada gestante. A amostra englobou 43 gestantes do 1° ao 3° trimestre de gestação. Entre as participantes, 74,4% (n=32) nunca receberam orientações sobre cuidados com a higiene oral do bebê. No entanto, 52% (n=26) souberam responder corretamente sobre a época em que deve se iniciar os cuidados com a higiene oral do bebê (quando o bebê nasce). Quanto aos métodos que podem ser utilizados para a realização dessa higiene, 58,1% (n= 25) responderam com gaze ou fralda embebida com água, e quanto à frequência que se deve ser realizada, 58,1% (n=25) disseram após toda mamada, como também, em relação à quantidade ideal de pasta para a escovação da boca do bebê com dentes, 46,5% (n=2) responderam que deve ser do tamanho de um grão de arroz seco. Pôde-se observar que apesar da maioria delas ter apresentado um razoável conhecimento sobre a importância da higiene bucal e os efeitos nocivos do uso de chupetas, poucas delas receberam algum tipo de assistência e orientação sobre saúde bucal do bebê durante o período pré-natal. Ressalta-se a importância da inclusão do profissional de odontologia nesse período de modo a repassar informações e esclarecer eventuais dúvidas que surgirem sobre a saúde bucal do bebê. KNOWLEDGE OF PREGNANT WOMEN ON ORAL HEALTH. ABSTRACT In the gestational period, the woman should be encouraged to seek more knowledge about the health of the baby, as the hygiene habits acquired in childhood can remain throughout life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of the pregnant women monitored at the Basic Health Units in the city of Quixadá-CE on the oral health of the baby. This research complies with the norms of CNS resolution 466/12 and was submitted and approved by the Unicatólica Ethics and Research Committee. The study was conducted in the period from August to September 2017, in three Basic Health Units belonging to the urban area of the municipality of Quixadá-CE. Data were collected through an elaborate structured questionnaire, composed of objective questions related to the transmissibility of dental caries, the basic care with oral health and Dentistry in the 1st Childhood that was filled by each pregnant woman. The sample included 43 pregnant women from the 1st to the 3rd trimester of gestation. Among the participants, 74.4% (n = 32) never received guidance on caring for the baby's oral hygiene. However, 52% (n = 26) were able to answer correctly about the time when the baby's oral hygiene care should begin (when the baby is born). Regarding the methods that can be used to perform this hygiene, 58.1% (n = 25) responded with gauze or diaper soaked with water, and as to the frequency to be performed, 58.1% (n = 25) ) reported that after feeding, as well as the ideal amount of toothpaste for toothbrushing, 46.5% (n = 2) answered that it should be the size of a dry rice grain. It was observed that although most of them had a reasonable knowledge about the importance of oral hygiene and the harmful effects of pacifiers, few of them received any kind of assistance and guidance on the baby's oral health during the prenatal period. It is important to include the dental professional in this period in order to pass on information and clarify any doubts that may arise regarding the oral health of the baby.

Oral Hygiene Habits

Summary Introduction Oral diseases during pregnancy are an important reason for enhanced dental care of this vulnerable population. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of oral health awareness among pregnant women and examine their oral hygiene habits, attitudes and behaviors in relation to the professional qualification. Material and methods The study was conducted in Foča, East Sarajevo, Bijeljina and Pale (Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina). A total of 198 respondents voluntarily filled an anonymous survey, specially created for this research. Results In addition to toothbrush and toothpaste, 39.8% of pregnant women did not use any additional oral hygiene resources. When brushing their teeth, 60.1% of pregnant women had bleeding gums. Also, 54.1% of pregnant women visited dentist, while 34.3% did not. Obstetrician did not advise 69.7% of respondents that the should visit dentist during pregnancy. Furthermore, 80.8% of pregnant women thought that they were more susceptible to pregnancy caries, and 29.6% of them thought that caries is disease that cannot be prevented. Respondents with university education understood that minerals from the mother’s teeth were not lost during pregnancy, which was statistically significant compared to pregnant women with secondary education. Conclusion The level of oral health awareness of pregnant women is low. It is important that all women perform regular dental examination during pregnancy, as they will receive useful information from their dentist how to prevent oral diseases.

Background Health perception is a subjective predictor of long-term morbidity and mortality. Few studies address the perception that pregnant women have of their oral health. Objective The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between socioeconomic factors and self-assessment of oral health in pregnant women from Cali, Colombia. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 998 pregnant women, calculated using the formula to estimate a proportion in finite populations, with a confidence level of 95%. A questionnaire was applied for sociodemographic characterization, as well as to enquire about oral health perception, knowledge, and practices of oral health. Results The mean age of the surveyed mothers was 24.7, with a standard deviation of 6.1, of which 23.6% were adolescents. The perception they had about their oral health status was considered good by 60.8%. Of the 82.9% who reported having attended dentistry, more than half perceived good oral health. Pregnant women with no history of oral problems, with a perception of medium or high income, and with good oral hygiene practices tend to have a good perception of their oral health. Conclusion Pregnant women with no history of oral problems, with a perception of medium or high income, and with good oral hygiene practices tend to have a good perception of their oral health.

Abstract Background Poor oral hygiene and high hormone levels during pregnancy can lead to a deterioration in periodontal health. This study assessed the effectiveness of a family-centered behavioral and educational counselling program on improving the periodontal health of women during pregnancy and postpartum. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted among pregnant women (10th-22nd gestational week) and their husbands. Participating families were randomized into test and control groups. Intervention in the test group included explanation of oral health education (OHE) pamphlets, oral hygiene instruction, individualized feedback, and proposed solutions to overcome barriers in self-care. Reinforcements were implemented in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and six months postpartum. In the control group, only OHE pamphlets were distributed. The assessed outcomes were bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal pocket (Poc), loss of clinical attachment (LoA), and Visible Plaque Index (VPI). The data collection was carried out at baseline (T0), in the 32nd gestational week (T1), and 12 months postpartum (T2). Results Altogether 589 pregnant women were recruited, and 369 attended all three visits (test:188; control:181). In the test group, the mean VPI score at T0 was 0.19, which decreased to 0.14 at T1 and 0.15 at T2. In the control group, the mean VPI decreased from 0.19 at T0 to 0.16 at T1, but increased to 0.22 at T2. A main effect of time and intervention and an interaction between time and intervention were detected (all p < 0.05), indicating that the intervention effect differed between T1 and T2. The test group showed a significantly greater decrease over time than the control group did. Similarly, the mean BOP% decreased more significantly over time in the test group (T0:57%, T1:46%, T2:35%) than in the control group (T0:58%, T1:52%, T2:46%). For Poc and LoA, there were improvements in both study groups at 12 months postpartum, compared with during pregnancy (p < 0.001). Conclusions Providing family-centered, behavioral, and educational counselling to pregnant women at an early stage of pregnancy and with reinforcements can improve their oral hygiene and reduce gingival inflammation. The effect can be sustained over an extended period and is greater than that of distributing oral health leaflets alone. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov, #NCT02937194.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aimed was to analyze health care protocols for pregnant women with a focus on oral health. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, documental study on oral health conducted on health care protocols for pregnant women in 2019. Searches conducted in the internet identified maternal health protocols made publicly available by Brazilian municipalities and states. In this search, we considered the following keywords in the Portuguese language: “protocolo” (protocol), “guia” (guide), “linha-guia” (guideline), “diretrizes” (guidelines), “documento” (document) and “orientação” (guidance). It was consulted the following documents by the Brazilian Ministry of Health: National Oral Health Policy, Reception to spontaneous demand: most common complaints in basic care and Basic care protocols: women’s health. The following variables were analyzed: the entry point of each pregnant woman in the health care system, their first dental appointment, the reference and the counter-reference system between the levels of care and the procedures performed by the dentist. Results: It was collected a total of 12 municipal protocols, 5 state and 8 international protocols. Most of these documents did not include all the variables analyzed and in national documents, the procedures reported presented a great disagreement and the reference and counter-reference system was little approached. Most of international documents presented a description of general gestation care, changes in women’s period, and the need for prenatal dental care. Conclusions: It was observed that the “procedures indicated” was dimensions most contemplated. The referral and counter-reference system was not mentioned in all documents.

The objective of the study was to analyze the prevalence of self-medication among users of Basic Health Units in the city of Monte Alegre – Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil. A descriptive exploratory study was carried out, through the application of structured questionnaires, with 125 people. It was observed that 83% of the interviewees practiced self-medication, of these, 34%, they did it monthly. The main justifications for this practice were: difficulty accessing health services (50%), financial reasons (28%) and lack of time (22%). The most used drugs were: analgesic (63%), anti-inflammatory (13%) and sedative / hypnotic (7.0%). Most (55%) claimed to have no or little knowledge about the meaning of self-medication. This demonstrates the need for health education actions in order to educate the population about the risks of this practice, since it can lead to masking of symptoms of diseases, drug interactions and intoxications that compromise the health of the user. Keywords: Health. Drug. Use.
