Abstract Background Studying the quality of life of children with chronic diseases, such as HIV, is essential, aiming at comprehensive and holistic care for people with the disease. Objective To assess the quality of life and sociodemographic associated factors in children with HIV. Method A descriptive cross-sectional study, with a sample of 78 children of both genders, aged between 3 and 13 years old, attending a reference service in the city of Recife-PE. Two questionnaires were used to collect data, the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria questionnaire, to accomplish the socioeconomic characteristics, and the Quality of Life Scale for Children (AUQEI). Pearson's Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test evaluated the association between the variables. The margin of error was 5%. Results The quality of life, being sick, playing alone and the presence of bullying in school had low satisfaction rates. On the other hand, items such as vacations, birthday, being at the table with the family, and watching television showed high levels of satisfaction. Conclusions The children in this research demonstrated a quality of life influenced by the negative aspects present in their lives. Thus, a multidisciplinary team is needed for the treatment and prevention of comorbidities, including psychosocial ones.

RESUMO

Sickle cell anemia, a genetic disease caused by a mutation in the beta-globin gene, can present oral manifestations such as delayed tooth eruption and hypomineralized enamel and dentin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of developmental defects of enamel (DDE) and delayed tooth eruption in children with sickle cell anemia. The sample comprised 56 male and female children with sickle cell anemia aged 6 to 12 years and treated at the Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of Pernambuco, Brazil. The data were collected according to the WHO criteria for DDE and tooth eruption. The prevalence of DDE was 58.2% and increased with age, affecting 43.8% of children aged 6 to 8 years and 66.7% of those aged 10 to 12 years (p>0.05; Pearson's chi-square test). There was no significant association between DDE and sex; the most prevalent type of DDE was diffuse opacity (6.2%). Tooth eruption was delayed in 18 children (32.1%). The delay increased with age and was detected in 11.8% of children aged 6 to 8 years, in 20.0% of those aged 8 to 10 years and in 54.2% of those aged 10 to 12 years (p<0.05; Pearson's chi-square test). Delayed tooth eruption was higher in males (36.7%, p>0.05). The prevalence of DDE was high, increased with age and was similar between sexes, while delayed eruption was higher in males and showed a significant association with age.

RESUMO

A anemia falciforme é a doença mais comum entre as hemoglobinopatias no Brasil e no mundo, sendo caracterizada pela presença da hemoglobina anômala S (ou HbS), que provoca falcização (forma de foice) das hemácias. Os problemas clínicos associados à doença estão atribuídos diretamente ao defeito desta hemoglobina nas células vermelhas do sangue. Estes incluem: anemia hemolítica, infecções bacterianas e crises dolorosas. Os pacientes falciformes possuem condições clínicas que podem ser intensificadas durante o tratamento odontológico, logo as medidas preventivas são importantes, porque as infecções dentárias podem precipitar as crises vasoclusivas. As condições de saúde bucal podem causar grande impacto na saúde geral e na qualidade de vida dos portadores, e o cirurgião dentista desempenha um papel importante na prevenção das complicações. Diante dessas peculiaridades da doença e à escassez de estudos sobre suas consequências na cavidade bucal, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma breve revisão da literatura destacando os principais aspectos da anemia falciforme relacionados com a saúde bucal.

Sickle cell disease is most common hemoglobinopathies in Brazil and worldwide, and is characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS or) that causes sickling (sickle) red blood cells. The clinical problems associated with the disease are directly attributed to the defect of hemoglobin in red blood cells. These include: hemolytic anemia, bacterial infections and pain crises. Sickle cell patients have medical conditions that may be intensified during dental treatment, so preventive measures are important because dental infections can precipitate crises vasoclusivas. The oral health status can cause great impact on overall health and quality of life of patients and the dentist plays an important role in preventing complications. Given these peculiarities of the disease and the scarcity of studies on its effects in the oral cavity, the aim of this paper is to present a brief literature review highlighting key aspects of sickle cell disease related to oral health.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work was to establish the prevalence of non-nutritive sucking habits (pacifier and/or digit sucking) and to assess its relation with anterior open bite. METHODS: The sample consisted of 980 records of children of both genders, with ages between 3 and 12 years, who were treated at the Pediatrics Clinic of the University of Pernambuco (FOP/UPE), from February 2000 trough December 2005, both sexes. Pearson's Chi-square test at 5% level of significance was used for statistical assessment. RESULTS: It was observed that 17,7% of the sample had some habit at the moment of the anamnesis (9,6% of digit sucking habit, 8,8% of pacifier sucking habit and 0,7% of both habits) and that the prevalence of open bite was 20,3%. The prevalence of sucking habits in girls was much higher than in boys (22,6% and 12,9%, respectively) and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0,000). A correlation between habits and open bite was proved statistically (p = 0,000): Children with sucking habits had 8 times more chances of developing anterior open bite. CONCLUSIONS: Anterior open bite was associated to the presence of non nutritive sucking habits; sucking habits were more prevalent in girls and in children between three and six years of age.

RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to investigate caries prevalence and socioeconomic factors in children with sickle cell anemia. This study was conducted in 160 children with sickle cell anemia aged 3 to 12 years attending the Center for Hematology in Recife, Brazil. Data collection included interviews with guardians concerning social factors and oral examinations to determine the caries prevalence. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson's chi-square tests at a 5% significance level. The caries prevalence was 55.0%. The dmft index was 2.12, and the DMFT index was 1.50. Income significantly influenced dmft; the mean dmft was 4.57 in children whose family income was less than the Brazilian minimum wage (BMW), whereas in children with a family income three times the BMW or higher, the mean dmft was 2.27. No statistically positive association was found between the educational level of parents and guardians and the caries indices. A statistically significant association was found between dental caries prevalence and family income.

RESUMO

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el comportamiento de los niños con laceraciones faciales, tratados con 2-octil cianoacrilato y la sutura convencional, a la que asistieron el Hospital da Restauração, Recife / PE. Se seleccionaron 11 niños de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre 3 a 9 años, a la que asistieron el servicio de Cirugía Buco-maxilofacial del Hospital. La muestra fue no probabilística. Para observar el comportamiento de los niños se tomaron fotografías antes, durante y después de la atención. Además de las fotos, las formas se han cubierto las cuestiones relacionadas con la física y aspectos psicológicos de los niños. En el análisis de los datos utilizados para la prueba Exato de Fisher y de Mann-Whitney . Los resultados mostraron que los dos mayores frecuencias, las categorías son non cooperativas y habilidades de cooperación. Existe una diferencia entre el comportamiento de los niños tratados con el 2-octil-cianoacrilato y la sutura convencional, los niños tratados con adhesivo fueron más cooperativos y estuvieron calmados, probablemente debido a la menor duración del procedimiento, con una diferencia significativa entre los grupos (p <0,05), y también la falta de anestesia local. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de más estudios sobre el uso de adhesivos en los niños con laceraciones faciales y el comportamiento de los que hacen frente a estasituación

The aim of this study was to evaluate the children's behavior with facial lacerations, treated with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and with the conventional suture, attended at the Hospital da Restauração, Recife / PE. Were selected, 11 children, of both sexes, aged from 3 to 9 years, attended in the Hospital service of Bucco-Maxillofacial Surgery. The sample was not probabilistic. To observe the behavior of children were taken photographs before, during and after care. Besides the photos, formularies were completed containing questions relating to children's physical and psychological aspects. In the analysis of the data used to test the exact Fisher and Mann-Whitney. The results showed that the two largest frequencies correspond to the cooperative and without cooperative skill categories. Was observed a difference between the children's behavior treated with the 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and with the conventional suture; the children's behavior treated with the adhesive were more cooperative and calm, probably due to the procedure's lower duration, with significant differences between groups (p < 0,05), and also the absence of local anesthesia. The results suggest the need for more studies on the use of adhesive in children with facial lacerations and the behavior of those facing this situation

RESUMO

Diabetes mellitus (DM) é uma desordem metabólica caracterizada por uma alteração nos níveis de insulina. Há dois tipos principais de DM: tipo 1, onde há deficiência total de secreção de insulina, e tipo 2, onde há uma inadequada secreção compensatória. Dentre as alterações bucais destes pacientes estão: baixo fluxo salivar e aumento de seu pH e viscosidade, que são fatores de risco para cárie. A presente revisão da literatura tem por objetivo fornecer maiores informações sobre esta síndrome, assim, como orientar o clínico como proceder com estes pacientes.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by deficient management of insulin. Two main types of DM exist: type 1, a total deficiency in insulin secretion, and type 2, a combination of resistance to insulin action and inadequate compensatory insulin secretion. Amongst the buccal alterations of these patients, there are reduction of the flow and increase of the saliva's acidity and viscosity, risk factors for caries. This review intends to provide not only general information about this syndrome, but also orientations how to preceed with these patients.

RESUMO

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência de cárie e alguns fatores associados em crianças portadoras de hemofilia, na faixa etária de 3 a 12 anos, de ambos os sexos, atendidas no Centro de Hemoterapia de Pernambuco (Hemope) nos anos de 2005/2006. Os dados foram coletados através de uma amostra intencional, composta por quarenta crianças. O levantamento dos dados foi feito através de uma etapa clínica e outra não-clínica. Na etapa clínica foi realizado o exame clínico intrabucal por uma examinadora calibrada. Na etapa não-clínica foram aplicados questionários aos responsáveis, com perguntas objetivas e subjetivas sobre alguns fatores comportamentais e sociais. Para determinação da prevalência de cárie foi adotado o índice ceo-d e CPO-D de acordo com os critérios da OMS. Após análise dos dados, verificou-se que o índice ceo-d foi igual a 2,00 e o do CPO-D igual a 0,67. Além disso, com relação ao grau de instrução dos responsáveis, o valor do ceo-d foi de 1,51 para as crianças cujos pais possuíam 1º grau incompleto e de 2,50 para aqueles com o 1º grau completo; o CPO-D foi de 0,78 para aquelas cujos pais tinham 1º grau incompleto e de 0,59 para os com o 1º grau completo. Foi possível concluir: a prevalência de cárie no grupo pesquisado foi baixa; verificou-se uma relação significante entre a prevalência de cárie e os indicadores de desenvolvimento socioeconômico, relacionado ao grau de instrução dos responsáveis; observou-se uma menor prevalência de cárie nas crianças cujas mães receberam orientações sobre higiene bucal e dieta.

The present study aimed at verifying tooth decay and some associated factors in hemophilic children of both genders with ages from 3 to 12 years old, treated in the Center of Hemoterapia of Pernambuco (Hemope) in 2005 and 2006. The data were collected from an intentional sample composed of 40 children. Data collection was achieved in two phases: clinical and non-clinical. In the clinical phase, an intrabuccal clinical examination was performed by a specialist. While in the non-clinical phase, the guardians of the children were requested to complete a questionnaire with objective and subjective questions on behavioral and social factors. To determine tooth decay, the ceo-d and CPO-D indexes were adopted as recommended by the World Health Organization. Analysis of the data showed the ceo-d index was 2.00 and the CPO-D index was 0.67. Additionally, in respect to the education of the guardians, the ceo-d index was 1.51 and 2.50 for children of parents with incomplete and complete primary school education, respectively. Similarly, the CPO-D was 0.78 and 0.59 for participants whose parents had incomplete and complete primary school education, respectively. It was possible to conclude that tooth decay in this group was low and there was a significant association between tooth decay and socioeconomic development indicators. In respect to the education of guardians, less tooth decay was observed in children whose mothers received guidance on oral hygiene and diet.
