Abstract(s)
A alveolite é uma complicação pós-extracional dolorosa, frequentemente diagnosticada pelos médicos dentistas, mas mal compreendida. A sua abordagem terapêutica muitas vezes passa pela prescrição inadequada de antibióticos, o que contribui para a ameaça global da resistência antimicrobiana. Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a alveolite, as características demográficas da população em estudo que apresenta aquela condição, a sua exposição a fatores de risco, os sinais e sintomas e as práticas clínicas adotadas na abordagem daquela condição. Foram analisados os registos clínicos de 2011 pacientes adultos que realizaram pelo menos uma cirurgia dentoalveolar nas Clínicas Pedagógicas de Medicina Dentária da Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Fernando Pessoa (CPMD-UFP) no período em estudo. O sexo masculino representou 55,7% da amostra (n=1120) e as idades estavam compreendidas entre os 18 e 94 anos (54,9 ± 16,9). Foram registadas 4003 consultas, tendo sido realizadas entre 1 e 7 extrações dentárias, e 96,5% dessas foram exodontias simples. A prevalência de alveolite foi de 6% (n=126), estando associada ao sexo feminino (p=0,006). Não foram encontradas associações entre a alveolite e potenciais fatores de risco.
Alveolitis is a poorly understood, painful post-extractional complication. Its therapeutic approach is often done with the inadequate prescription of antibiotics, which contributes to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to characterize alveolitis, the demographic characteristics of the study population presenting with this condition, its exposure to risk factors, the signs and symptoms, and the clinical practices adopted in the management of this condition. The clinical records of 2011 adult patients who underwent at least one dentoalveolar surgery at the Pedagogical Clinics of Dental Medicine of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Fernando Pessoa University (CPMD-UFP) during the study period were analyzed. The male sex represented 55.7% of the sample (n=1120), and ages ranged from 18 to 94 years (54.9 ± 16.9). A total of 4003 consultations were recorded, with between 1 and 7 dental extractions performed, 96.5% of which were simple extractions. The prevalence of alveolitis was 6% (n=126), being associated with the female sex (p=0.006). No associations were found between alveolitis and potential risk factors.
