RESUMO

Endodontic microsurgery guided by navigation systems represents a precise and minimally invasive approach for retreatment of apical periodontitis following failed conventional endodontic therapy. Accurate localization and minimal access to the root apex are paramount for successful outcomes and preservation of anatomical structures. Workflow considerations, such as three-dimensional (3D) virtual planning and endodontic guidance represent new crucial aspects for addressing complex cases. This clinical case report presents the successful reintervention of a complex case using a Zekrya bur, operative microscopy, cone beam computed tomography and biocompatible materials. After a 48-month follow-up, complete healing of the treated area was observed. This minimally invasive technique, employing a simple instrument widely available globally, underscores the potential for efficient and predictable outcomes in complex endodontic microsurgical retreatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This article aims to showcase the implementation of a digital workflow in addressing a case of multifactorial excessive gingival display in a patient with high esthetic demands, incorporating both surgical and restorative interventions in a single session. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A 28-year-old female patient presented with excessive gingival display, attributed to a combination of short teeth due to altered passive eruption, lip hyperactivity, and a sub-nasal depression that lodged the upper lip during spontaneous smiling. The multidisciplinary treatment strategy encompassed surgical crown lengthening, the placement of a biovolume in the maxillary concavity, and the rehabilitation of the six anterior teeth with direct composite resin, all done in a single session. Smilecloud Biometrics was used to digitally plan the smile, and the final wax-up/mock-up was approved by the patient prior to any irreversible procedure. A digital planning center (GuiderLab) enabled the materialization of the virtual planning and the printing of the periodontal surgical guide, the biovolume, and the resin layering guides for the restorative technique. CONCLUSIONS: Adopting a digital workflow in multidisciplinary cases with excessive gingival display leads to predictable and more expedited outcomes, ensuring a favorable result between soft and hard tissues. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Excessive gingival display is a condition with multifactorial etiologies, including dentoalveolar, periodontal, skeletal, or muscular origins, or a combination of these factors. The diagnoses of altered passive eruption and a hypermobile upper lip are common in daily clinical practice and can be successfully managed through surgical crown lengthening and filling of the maxillary concavity, respectively. To achieve the desired outcome, restorative procedures often complement these surgical interventions.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this report is to present the complete workflow of 3D virtual patient for planning and performing implant surgery with magnetically retained 3D-printed stackable guides. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A 3D-printed stackable system was proposed based on bone, dental, and facial references. Initially, a 66-year-old male patient was digitalized through photographs, cone beam computed tomography, and intraoral scans (Virtuo Vivo, Straumann). All files were merged to create a 3D virtual patient in the planning software (coDiagnostiX, Straumann). Sequential stackable guides were designed, printed, and cured. Magnets were inserted into connectors, and the interim protheses received color characterization. Four mounted guides were produced for the specific purposes of pin fixation, bone reduction, implant placement, and immediate provisionalization. After surgery and healing period, patient digital data were updated. Final implant positions were compared to planned values and inconsistencies were clinically acceptable. The mean angular deviation was 5.4° (3.2-7.3) and mean 3D discrepancies were of 0.90 mm (0.46-1.12) at the entry point and 1.68 mm (1.00-2.20) at implant apex. Case follow-up revealed stability, patient's comfort, and no intercurrences. CONCLUSION: Magnetically retained stackable guides provide treatment accuracy and reduce surgical and prosthetic complications. The projected virtual patient enhances decision-making and communication between the multidisciplinary team and the patient, while decreases time and costs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Bidimensional diagnosis and freehand implant placement have limitations and outcomes often rely on professionals' expertise. Performing facially driven virtual planning improves treatment predictability. This approach promotes function, esthetic harmony, and patient satisfaction. Implant guided surgery and 3D printed prostheses constitute a reproducible digital workflow that can be implemented into clinical practice to optimize dental care.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review aimed to map the literature on the utilization of intraoral scanners (IOS) in fabricating post and core restorations. DATA: The study protocol is available at https://osf.io/ja9xh/. This scoping review followed Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, and reporting was based on the checklist proposed by PRISMA-ScR. SOURCES: Searches were conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and grey literature up to August 2023. RESULTS: A total of 455 studies were identified. After screening, 16 studies were deemed suitable for scoping review. Of these, 13 were in vitro studies, two were case reports, and one was a clinical study. Different IOS systems for scanning post spaces were evaluated, with Trios being most prevalent, followed by Prismescan. While most studies did not use any intraoral scanning devices, five studies reported the use of scan posts. Results regarding retention favored fully digital workflows. However, results about the adaptation and accuracy varied between included studies, highlighting the importance of standardized approaches. Future clinical studies should encompass variations in IOS systems, post space depths, scanner depth of field, light conditions, scan post utilization, operator experience, scanning time and strategy, and direct comparison with conventional techniques. CONCLUSION: IOS is increasingly important in capturing digital impressions for post spaces and provides valuable insights for clinicians and researchers. Although included studies, primarily in vitro, demonstrated promising results for the utilization of IOS systems in fully digital workflows for post and core restorations, further well-conducted studies, particularly clinical trials, are recommended due to data heterogeneity and limitations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This mapping highlights the potential of modern IOS in fully digital workflows for post and core restorations. Despite promising results, challenges related to different variables associated with IOS require careful consideration. Standardization and additional clinical validation are essential for optimize IOS benefits in post and core restorations.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe the use of work process modelling to optimise the organisation of the demand for oral health treatment in primary care units in Brazil. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The oral health care routine was at first described as the "AS IS" model, which was evaluated by the oral team professionals, rearranged, and further described as the "TO BE" model described using a business process management modelling tool. The significant increase in the demand of patients due to restrictions offered by the dental service in addition to non-urgent treatments being avoided by patients during COVID-19 pandemic was also considered. RESULTS: Structuring the work processes in a visual way using modelling tools was useful to picture the entire treatment process and adjust when needed. The use of the managerial tool was useful to understand and reorganise the workflow of organising the demand and ultimately improve the efficiency of the resources. The use of such managerial tools helped oral health professionals to efficiently rearrange their tasks and set priorities to meet their needs. CONCLUSIONS: With the use of management tools, each unit can readjust its structures and ways of working, aiming to improve the quality of public health care services provided to patients.

RESUMO

Waiting time for chemotherapy infusion is a fundamental factor to measure quality of care. It has been shown that a prolonged waiting time is related to a higher incidence of anticipatory nausea and poor patient adherence to scheduled appointments and recommended oncology treatment programs. Some chemotherapy regimens can be prepared hours ahead-of-time, due to long stability. We aimed to study the effect of an informatic-led workflow redesign intervention, facilitating workflow changes in the Oncology Pharmacy, on patient waiting time. This intervention included changes on EHR processes and the chemotherapy CPOE. Their main effect was allowing ahead-of-time preparation of selected chemotherapy regimes. We conducted a cross sectional study, comparing waiting times pre and post intervention periods. A total of 4600 programmed chemotherapy episodes were included. We found a 26.5 % decrease in the mean wait time in the post intervention period (p > 0.02). We were able to show a decrease in waiting time and a measurable impact of the intervention. This evaluation produced valuable and actionable data for Oncology units and adds a valuable, Latin American experience to the literature.

RESUMO

Em janeiro de 2020, a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarou a covid-19 como uma emergência em Saúde Pública, sendo posteriormente, em março do mesmo ano, reconhecida como pandemia. O Brasil registrou o primeiro caso em fevereiro de 2020. Esse novo cenário epidemiológico exigiria da Atenção Primária à Saúde a reorganização do processo de trabalho e dos fluxos assistenciais para o enfrentamento do problema e garantia do acesso da população aos serviços. Assim, este trabalho relata a estratégia de reorganização do processo de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família em município baiano diante do cenário de pandemia pela covid-19 entre março de 2020 a março de 2021. É um estudo observacional descritivo do tipo relato de experiência. O processo de trabalho foi reorganizado incorporando tecnologias de cuidado, como a teleconsulta, telemonitoramento, implantação do acolhimento com classificação de risco, readequação do ambiente físico e intensificação da utilização de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual. A Atenção Primária à Saúde exerce papel estratégico nas ações de combate à covid-19 no território, e as estratégias utilizadas pela Unidade de Saúde da Família possibilitaram o acesso da população ao serviço, mesmo diante da restrição de algumas atividades de rotina. Contudo, foram observados prejuízos no cuidado longitudinal dos usuários e no processo formativo de alunos da graduação e da pós-graduação, devido à interrupção dos estágios na Atenção Primária à Saúde como medida de segurança.

On January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 as a public health emergency, and in March of the same year, the new disease was recognized as a pandemic. Brazil registered its first case in February 2020. This new epidemiological scenario required Primary Health Care (PHC) to reorganize its care process and workflows to address the issue and ensure the population's access to services. Thus, this descriptive observational report presents the work process of health professionals at a Family Health Unit in a municipality from Bahia, Brazil, during the pandemic. Reorganization of the work process included incorporating care technologies such as teleconsultation, telemonitoring, user embracement with risk classification, readjustment of the physical environment and intensification of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use. Primary Health Care plays a strategic role in actions to combat the COVID-19 in the territory and the FHU strategies adopted allowed the population to access services even in the face of restriction. However, user longitudinal care and the training process of undergraduate and graduate students suffered losses due to the interruption of internships in Primary Health Care as a safety measure.

En enero de 2020, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró como emergencia de salud pública a la covid-19 y, posteriormente, en marzo del mismo año, la reconoció como pandemia. Brasil registró el primer caso en febrero de 2020. Este nuevo escenario epidemiológico requirió de la atención primaria de salud (APS) una reorganización del proceso de trabajo y de los flujos de atención para enfrentar el problema y asegurar el acceso de la población a los servicios. Este trabajo busca informar la estrategia respecto a la reorganización del proceso de trabajo de los profesionales de la salud en una Unidad de Salud Familiar en un municipio de Bahía (Brasil) frente a la pandemia de la covid-19 en el período comprendido entre marzo de 2020 y marzo de 2021. Este es un estudio observacional descriptivo, de tipo reporte de experiencia. Se reorganizó el proceso de trabajo incorporando tecnologías de cuidado, como teleconsulta, telemonitoreo, implementación de clasificación de riesgo, readecuación del ambiente físico y mayor uso de equipos de protección personal (EPP). La atención primaria de salud juega un papel estratégico en las acciones de enfrentamiento al covid-19 en el territorio y las estrategias utilizadas por las Unidades de Salud Familiar permitieron a la población acceder al servicio, incluso frente a la restricción en algunas actividades rutinarias. Sin embargo, se observaron perjuicios en la atención longitudinal de los usuarios y en el proceso de formación de los estudiantes de grado y posgrado debido a la interrupción de las pasantías en la atención primaria como medida de seguridad.

RESUMO

Objective: to examine the nursing team's view of the repercussions of moving patients (admissions, transfers and discharges) on the organization of work and the delivery of care. Method: this is a qualitative study using the focus group technique, conducted with 23 professionals - 12 nurses, eight nurse technicians and three nurse assistants working in three inpatient units at a teaching hospital in the countryside of Sao Paulo. Four meetings took place between November 2021 and March 2022. The reports were analyzed thematically using MAXQDA software. Results: two thematic categories emerged: the influence of structural factors and work organization on the intra-hospital moving of patients; it demands time, generates work overload and interferes with the delivery of care. Conclusion: the volume of moving patient associated with unforeseen demands, care complexity and insufficient staff and resources have a negative impact on the delivery of care, with clinical risks and work overload. The findings make it possible to improve the regulation of patients entering and leaving the units, work organization and care management, avoiding clinical risks, delays, omissions and work overload.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Evaluate and compare the protagonism of Oral Health teams (OHt) in the teamwork process in Primary Healthcare (PHC) over five years and estimate the magnitude of disparities between Brazilian macro-regions. METHODS Ecological study that used secondary data extracted from the Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB - Health Information System for Primary Healthcare) from 2018 to 2022. Indicators were selected from a previously validated evaluative matrix, calculated from records in the Collective Activity Form on the degree of OHt's protagonism in team meetings and its degree of organization concerning the meeting agendas. A descriptive and amplitude analysis of the indicators' variation over time was carried out, and the disparity index was also calculated to estimate and compare the magnitude of differences between macro-regions in 2022. RESULTS In Brazil, between 3.06% and 4.04% of team meetings were led by OHt professionals. The Northeast and South regions had the highest (3.71% to 4.88%) and lowest proportions (1.21% to 2.48%), respectively. From 2018 to 2022, there was a reduction in the indicator of the "degree of protagonism of the OHt" in Brazil and macro-regions. The most frequent topics in meetings under OHt's responsibility were the work process (54.71% to 70.64%) and diagnosis and monitoring of the territory (33.49% to 54.48%). The most significant disparities between regions were observed for the indicator "degree of organization of the OHt concerning case discussion and singular therapeutic projects". CONCLUSIONS The protagonism of the OHt in the teamwork process in PHC is incipient and presents regional disparities, which challenges managers and OHt to break isolation and lack of integration, aiming to offer comprehensive and quality healthcare to the user of the Unified Health System (SUS).

RESUMO OBJETIVO Avaliar e comparar o protagonismo das equipes de Saúde Bucal (eSB) no processo de trabalho em equipe na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) ao longo de cinco anos, e estimar a magnitude das disparidades entre as macrorregiões brasileiras. MÉTODOS Estudo ecológico que utilizou dados secundários extraídos do Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), de 2018 a 2022. Foram selecionados indicadores de matriz avaliativa previamente validada, calculados a partir dos registros na Ficha de Atividade Coletiva do grau de protagonismo das eSB nas reuniões de equipe, bem como do seu grau de organização em relação às pautas dos encontros. Foi realizada análise descritiva e da amplitude da variação dos indicadores ao longo do tempo, e também foi calculado o índice de disparidade para estimar e comparar a magnitude das diferenças entre as macrorregiões no ano de 2022. RESULTADOS No Brasil, entre 3,06% e 4,04% das reuniões de equipe foram lideradas por profissionais da eSB. No período, o Nordeste e o Sul foram as regiões que apresentaram maiores (3,71% a 4,88%) e menores proporções (1,21% a 2,48%), respectivamente. No período de 2018 a 2022, houve uma redução do indicador "grau de protagonismo das eSB" no Brasil e nas macrorregiões. Os temas mais frequentes em reuniões sob responsabilidade das eSB foram processo de trabalho (54,71% a 70,64%) e diagnóstico e monitoramento do território (33,49% a 54,48%). As maiores disparidades entre as regiões foram observadas para o indicador "grau de organização das eSB, em relação à discussão de caso e de projeto terapêutico singular". CONCLUSÕES O protagonismo das eSB no processo de trabalho em equipe na APS é incipiente e apresenta disparidades regionais, o que desafia gestores e eSB para o rompimento do isolamento e da falta de integração, visando a oferta de atenção à saúde integral e de qualidade ao usuário do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).
