Objective: In view of the scarcity of research aimed at patients with special needs in our region, this study aims to identify the pathologies, such as age, gender, place of origin and prevalence of caries and periodontal disease in patients enrolled in a public dental service in Belém aimed at the care of people with special needs. Method: Retrospective cross-sectional study, where the data collected in the medical records of the patients enrolled in SIDOPE-UFPA were analyzed. Results: At the end of the data collection, 219 medical records of patients eligible to participate in the study were divided into groups, such as Behavioral Disorder (27.85%), Non-Progressive Brain Encephalopathy (10.5%), Syndromes and malformations (8.7%), Intellective deficit (7.76%), among others. The prevalence of caries was 71.23% and Periodontal Disease was 23.7%; (61.6%) and Belém (62.5%) were the most prevalent place of origin. Conclusion: According to the research, most patients still need treatment, due to the high caries index found, and mainly preventive measures so that these numbers can be reduced in the future. It was also observed the complexity and variety of diseases in the patients enrolled, and the incidence of rare syndromes that should and should be studied more specifically, not only by dentistry, but also by professionals from other areas, emphasizing the importance of care multiprofessional approach to these patients.

The article brings an analysis of the contemporary human subjectivity with the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Schlomo Freud. Within the psyche of every human being, where the unconscious keeps memories, desires, pleasures, anguishes, repressions, often incontestable, causes the subject to relate them to pain, as something to be avoided. Today, in the face of contemporaneity, one observes that subjectivity is intertwined with the fear of discovering itself, with the fear of facing its own history and reality, seeking only to live momentarily, to live the present, to live the uncreated, without perspectives. In this context it is observed that the figure of Freud, or rather, the emblematic psychoanalysis, gains space more and more for his rescue, from when it was postulated. The search for happiness that most people believe to exist is implicitly linked to the action and attitude of every human being, since we know ourselves as such, independent of concrete subjective worlds or not. Therefore, the place of psychoanalysis, in the face of this context, is understood as a contraposition to the avoidance of pain, characteristic of the pursuit of present happiness.

Introduction: Cancer of the oral cavity is a malignant tumor that can occur in the lips, oral structures and region under the tongue. They are cancers that often affect male patients aged 40 years and over. Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients diagnosed with oral cavity cancer from 2015 to 2019 in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: A descriptive study of quantitative approach was conducted through data from patients living in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais with diagnosis of oral cavity neoplasia in hospital records of the José Alencar Gomes da Silva National Cancer Institute (INCA). Results and discussion: In the historical series analyzed, 312 cases of cancer of the oral cavity were identified. Conclusion: The patients who were diagnosed with cancer in the oral cavity were mostly men aged between 50 and 69 years, the association between concomitant use of tobacco and alcoholic beverages was present in the vast majority of cases. Health professionals' efforts are needed for early diagnosis through educational actions and primary prevention.

Botulinum Toxin type A has become a great ally in aesthetic procedures because it is a very efficient non-surgical, aesthetic-therapeutic procedure. Known and much sought after for the result it provides in facial harmonization, by smoothing expression lines caused by repeated contractions carried out over the years, it has increased the demand for the technique, and with that, some complications and light, but transient complications arose. Thus, the objective of this article is to understand the process of application of botulinum toxin type A, its effects and complications (intercurrences) that may arise when not performing the technique as recommended, in addition to reviewing the literature and the protocol for applying the Botulinum toxin type A. The bibliographic research method, literature review of articles from the year 2000, in English and Portuguese, in search platforms of Scielo, Pubmed, Academic Google, atlas, dissertations and theses. Respecting the reapplication time is essential not only for complications, but also the patient's individuality, outlining a safe and effective path to avoid unwanted effects, thus ensuring a successful and attractive procedure both in the eyes of the professional and in the eyes of the clients .

The aim of the present study was to analyze the factors related to the increase in the number of measles cases and the role of nursing in this context. This work was developed by a literature search with a descriptive approach, which will be based on a systematic literature review. Available in the Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs) databases. Published between 2010 and 2020, in English and Portuguese. With the following keywords, National Program for Immunization, Nursing, Measles and Anti-vaccine Movement. Measles is a viral, acute infectious disease, potentially serious, transmissible and extremely contagious. Being the only form of prevention through vaccines. Transmission occurs directly, through nasopharyngeal secretions excreted when coughing, talking, sneezing or breathing by infected people. Brazil received the certificate of elimination of the circulation of the measles virus by the WHO, declaring the region of the Americas free of measles. In 2019 new cases arose in Brazil. There are several factors related to this increase in the number of cases ranging from anti-vaccine movements, false news about vaccination and poor vaccination coverage. Therefore, the objective is to relate these factors, highlighting the performance of nursing, showing some control strategies and seeking a solution to the problem.

The intrusion arch is a device for orthodontic anterior teeth intrusion, having been introduced by Burstone in 1977 for the treatment of deep bite, especially in the case of Class II division 2. But they are based on the origin of malocclusion and the patient's clinical characteristics, such as smile line, vertical dimension, predicted growth, among others. Use of this arc is governed by the principles of mechanical intrusion, which include obtaining a pure no intrusion proclination movements, therefore, necessary for successful treatment. Among these we can highlight to get a constant magnitude of force and the choice of point of application of force in the anterior segment, which would determine whether the motion would be pure intrusion or intrusion inclined. The mechanical stability of this is making it more advantageous in the treatment of deep bite in relation to treatment with extrusion of posterior teeth, which is notoriously prone to relapse. Thus, based on the principles of mechanics and its stability, several authors have developed some type of intrusion arches, using the original biomechanics, but differing mainly in the type of alloy wire and the point of application of force to the center of resistance to achieve the goals of the treatment
