Abstract(s)
Avaliar a relação entre os determinantes socioeconómicos com a necessidade de realizar Tratamento Endodôntico Não-Cirúrgico na População Portuguesa. Materiais e Métodos: Questionário online realizado a pacientes (≥18 anos) da Clínica Pedagógica da Universidade Fernando Pessoa e Privadas em Portugal e Serviços de Medicina Dentária do Sistema Nacional de Saúde. O questionário incluiu 25 questões sobre Determinantes Individuais e Comportamentais e Uso dos Serviços de Saúde. A análise estatística recorreu ao SPSS, versão 28.0.1.0 (142), tendo sido estabelecido 5% como nível de significância. Resultados: Foram analisadas 400 respostas. A idade média dos participantes foi de 37,06 ± 15,26 anos, maioria do género feminino, com o nível de escolaridade de Licenciatura. Na generalidade, os participantes preferem salgados e consumem açúcar menos do que 4 vezes por dia. A maioria dos indivíduos não utiliza fio dentário e escova os dentes 2 vezes por dia. Grande parte dos participantes visitou o Médico Dentista há menos de 1 ano e recorreu ao serviço privado. A principal razão da última visita foi para check-up dentário. Dos 400 participantes 198 já realizaram Tratamento Endodôntico Não-Cirúrgico. Conclusões: O rendimento mensal familiar e a frequência diária de escovagem podem estar associados à necessidade de Tratamento Endodôntico Não-Cirúrgico. O Tratamento Endodôntico Não-Cirúrgico foi considerado caro para 36,9% dos pacientes e, quando comparado com outros tipos de tratamentos, 28,3% dos pacientes consideraram dispendioso, sendo esta diferença estatisticamente significativa. A integração generalizada da Medicina Dentária no Serviço Nacional de Saúde mostrar-se-ia muito vantajosa para a população portuguesa.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between socio-economic determinants and the need for Nonsurgical Endodontic Treatment in the Portuguese population. Materials and Methods: Online questionnaire conducted to patients (≥18 years) from Fernando Pessoa University Teaching Clinic, Private Clinics and Dental Services of the National Health System in Portugal. The questionnaire included 25 questions on Individual and Behavioral Determinants and use of Health Services. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, version 28.0.1.0 (142), with a 5% significance level. Results: A total of 400 answers were analysed. The mean age of the participants was 37.06 ± 15.26 years, mostly females, with a Bachelor's degree. In general, participants prefer salty snacks and consume sugar less than 4 times a day. Most individuals do not use dental floss and brush their teeth twice a day. Most participants had visited the dentist less than 1 year ago and used the private service. The main reason for the last visit was for dental check-up. 198 out of 400 participants have already undergone Non-Surgical Endodontic Treatment. Conclusions: The family monthly income and the daily brushing frequency may be associated to the need for Non-Surgical Endodontic Treatment. Non-surgical Endodontic Treatment was considered expensive by 36.9% of patients and when compared with other types of treatment, 28.3% of patients considered it expensive. The generalized integration of Dental Medicine in the National Health Service would prove to be very advantageous for the portuguese population.
