Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o grau de conhecimento dos Médicos Dentistas sobre a associação/correlação da Doença Periodontal de Pacientes Oncológicos em fase de tratamento, que possam orientar os cuidados Médico-Dentários e servir de suporte à decisão clínica. Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal, com aplicação de um questionário online a Médicos Dentistas. Foi pedido o parecer à Comissão de Ética da Universidade Fernando Pessoa e não foram recolhidos dados sensíveis. A amostra do estudo foi constituída por 312 Médicos Dentistas, dos quais 264 de nacionalidade Portuguesa, 18 de nacionalidade Italiana, 16 de nacionalidade Espanhola e 14 de nacionalidade Francesa. Em relação ao nível de conhecimento os profissionais apresentam conhecimento parcial relativamente aos fatores de risco modificáveis e aos sinais e sintomas da Doença Periodontal e não apresentam conhecimento suficiente em relação aos fatores de risco não modificáveis, apesar de a maioria se autoavaliar como tendo conhecimento sólido e estruturado da doença. Grande parte dos participantes, na experiência clínica atendeu, pelo menos, um paciente em fase de tratamento oncológico, os quais se encontravam a realizar principalmente quimioterapia, radioterapia e hormonoterapia e foram observadas manifestações, como a xerostomia, alteração do paladar e mucosite. Os tipos de tumores mais frequentes são o Cancro da Mama e do Pulmão. Conclui-se que os Médicos Dentistas necessitam de adquirir um maior conhecimento da DP e dos parâmetros que a compreendem, por forma a melhorar a prática clínica e que existe a necessidade de um maior acompanhamento Médico-Dentário personalizado e individualizado durante o período de tratamento oncológico.
The present study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge of Dentists about the association/correlation of Periodontal Disease in Oncological Patients undergoing treatment, which can guide Medical-Dental care and serve as support for clinical decision-making. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, with the application of an online questionnaire to Dentists. A request for an opinion was made to the Ethics Committee of Fernando Pessoa University and no sensitive data was collected. The study sample consisted of 312 Dentists, of which 264 were of Portuguese nationality, 18 of Italian nationality, 16 of Spanish nationality and 14 of French nationality. In relation the level of knowledge, professionals have partial knowledge regarding modifiable risk factors and signs and symptoms of Periodontal Disease and do not have sufficient knowledge regarding non-modifiable risk factors, although the majority self-assess as having solid and structured knowledge of the disease. Most of the participants, in the clinical experience, treated at least one patient undergoing oncological treatment, who were mainly undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy and manifestations such as xerostomia, taste alteration and mucositis were observed. The most common types of tumors are breast and lung cancer. It is concluded that dentists need to acquire greater knowledge of PD and its parameters in order to improve clinical practice and that there is a need for greater personalized and individualized medical-dental monitoring during the period of oncological treatment.
