Assessment of oral conditions and quality of life in morbid obese and normal weight individuals: a cross-sectional study

The aim of this study was to identify the impact of oral disease on the quality of life of morbid obese and normal weight individuals. Cohort was composed of 100 morbid-obese and 50 normal-weight subjects. Dental caries, community periodontal index, gingival bleeding on probing (BOP), calculus, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, dental wear, stimulated salivary flow, and salivary pH were used to evaluate oral diseases. Socioeconomic and the oral impacts on daily performances (OIDP) questionnaires showed the quality of life in both groups. Unpaired Student, Fisher’s Exact, Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and Multiple Regression tests were used (p<0.05). Obese showed lower socio-economic level than control group, but no differences were found considering OIDP. No significant differences were observed between groups considering the number of absent teeth, bruxism, difficult mastication, calculus, initial caries lesion, and caries. However, saliva flow was low, and the salivary pH was changed in the obese group. Enamel wear was lower and dentine wear was higher in obese. More BOP, insertion loss, and periodontal pocket, especially the deeper ones, were found in obese subjects. The regression model showed gender, smoking, salivary pH, socio-economic level, periodontal pocket, and periodontal insertion loss significantly associated to obesity. However, both OIDP and BOP did not show significant contribution to the model. The quality of life of morbid obese was more negatively influenced by oral disease and socio-economic factors than in normal weight subjects107CNPQ - CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOCAPES - COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DE PESSOAL E NÍVEL SUPERIORFAPESP - FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO558366/2010-4Sem informação2014/09550-

Fluoride concentration in bottled water on the market in the municipality of São Paulo

The objective of the study was to evaluate the fluoride concentration in bottled water available on the market, in comparison with the values printed on the bottle label. Two hundred and twenty-nine water samples were collected from 35 brands available in several supermarkets, grocery stores and snack bars with high turnover in different regions of the municipality of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, in 2006. Fluoride concentrations were determined by duplicate analysis using an ion-specific electrode. The fluoride concentrations ranged from 0.01 to 2.04 mg/l, with significant differences between the values stipulated on labels and those found in the analyses. These results emphasize the importance of controls over fluoride levels in bottled water enforced by the sanitary surveillance agency.O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a concentração de flúor na água engarrafada comercializada, comparando-a aos valores impressos no rótulo da embalagem. Foram coletadas 229 amostras de água das 35 marcas disponíveis em diversos supermercados, mercearias e lanchonetes de grande circulação nas diferentes regiões do município de São Paulo, em 2006. A concentração de flúor foi determinada por análise em duplicata, utilizando o eletrodo íon-específico. A concentração de flúor variou entre 0,01 e 2,04 mg/l, com diferenças significantes entre os valores estipulados nos rótulos e os encontrados com a análise. Esses resultados reforçam a importância do controle dos níveis de flúor na água engarrafada por parte da vigilância sanitária

Avaliação da concentração de flúor e do consumo de água mineral

OBJECTIVE: Considering that water is an importance source of fluoride intake, and that the consumption of mineral water and prevalence of dental fluorosis have been increasing, the aim of this study was to evaluate the consumption of mineral water and its fluoride concentration. METHODS: The study was performed in residential districts of the municipality of Bauru, State of São Paulo, by means of stratified sampling via clusters. Each cluster corresponded to one residential block. For randomization purposes, the residential blocks were numbered within the 17 districts established by the city plan. One thousand homes were thus visited. Mineral water samples were collected using previously labeled 50 ml plastic flasks. Fluoride analysis was done using an ion-sensitive electrode (Orion 9609), after buffering using TISAB II. Information on the consumption of mineral water was obtained by means of applying a questionnaire. RESULTS: Around 29.72% of the city's population was consuming mineral water. In the 260 samples analyzed from 29 different brands of water, the fluoride concentration ranged from 0.045 to 1.515 mg/l. For one brand, the label stated that the fluoride concentration was 0.220 mg/l, but analysis revealed a concentration of 1.515 mg/l. Moreover, some brands did not specify the fluoride concentration on the label and, for these, the analysis showed concentrations ranging from 0.049 to 0.924 mg/l. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated wide variation in fluoride concentrations and reinforce the importance of the control of such waters by the sanitary surveillance agency.OBJETIVO: Considerando a água como importante fonte de ingestão de flúor, o aumento da prevalência de fluorose dentária e do consumo de água mineral, o estudo realizado teve como objetivo avaliar o consumo de água mineral e sua concentração de flúor. MÉTODOS: A pesquisa foi realizada nos bairros do município de Bauru, SP. Foram visitadas mil residências que compunham uma amostra estratificada, obtida por conglomerados. Cada conglomerado correspondia a um quarteirão. Para efeito de sorteio os quarteirões foram numerados dentro das 17 regiões estabelecidas no plano diretor do município. Para coleta das amostras de água mineral foram usados frascos plásticos de 50 ml, previamente identificados. Na análise de flúor utilizou-se eletrodo íon sensível (Orion 9609) após tamponamento com TISAB II. Informações a respeito do consumo de água mineral foram obtidas com a aplicação de um questionário. RESULTADOS: Constatou-se que cerca de 29,7% da população do município consome água mineral. Nas 260 amostras analisadas, das 29 diferentes águas, a concentração de flúor variou de 0,045 a 1,515 mg/l. Em uma das águas, constava no rótulo o valor de 0,220 mg/l, mas na análise constatou-se 1,515 mg/l de flúor. Além disso, algumas águas não traziam especificado a concentração de flúor; e, na análise constataram-se valores variando entre 0,049 e 0,924 mg/l. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados mostraram uma grande variação na concentração de flúor e reforçam a importância do controle dessas águas por parte da vigilância sanitária

Systemic consequences of bariatric surgery and its repercussions on oral health

INTRODUÇÃO: O controle da obesidade mórbida pode ser realizado através da cirurgia bariátrica que leva à restrição e/ou à má-absorção de alimentos. O objetivo dessa revisão foi identificar consequências desse procedimento e suas repercussões na saúde bucal. MÉTODO: Foi realizada busca na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, sendo incluídos artigos com relação direta ou indireta entre cirurgia bariátrica e saúde bucal e publicados nos últimos dez anos. RESULTADOS: Verificaram-se algumas complicações decorrentes dessa operação, como regurgitação crônica e deficiências nutricionais, que podem trazer repercussões na cavidade bucal como erosão dentária, perda óssea e cárie dentária. Por outro lado, existem consequências positivas como controle da diabetes, da apnéia e melhora da auto-estima, que tornam os pacientes menos susceptíveis à complicações na cavidade oral, como xerostomia e doença periodontal. CONCLUSÃO: A manutenção da saúde bucal adequada em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica contribui para o sucesso após a operação, resguardando os benefícios e minimizando os efeitos colaterais

Impact of bariatric surgery on periodontal status and quantification of periodontopathogenic bacteria using q-PCR: longitudinal survey

Este estudo longitudinal teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da cirurgia bariátrica na condição periodontal e quantificar bactérias periodontopatogênicas em pacientes submetidos a esta cirurgia. Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo, composto por 50 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica por derivação gastrojejunal em Y de Roux, em 3 hospitais do estado de São Paulo. A coleta de dados foi realizada em três períodos: pré-operatório, pós-operatório de 6 e de 12 meses e consistiu de: avaliação do fluxo salivar; exame clínico bucal para avaliar desgaste dentário e doença periodontal; coleta de amostras do fluido gengival para quantificação das bactérias periodontopatogênicas Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola ePrevotella intermédia por meio de Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase em Tempo Real (q-PCR); aplicação de questionário relacionado aos fatores para ocorrência de desgaste dentário e autopercepção da saúde bucal; avaliação do peso e altura para obtenção do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e coleta de dados complementares relacionados à saúde do indivíduo, por meio do prontuário médico. No baseline, 51 pacientes com IMC normal foram analisados e comparados aos obesos. ANOVA, teste de Tukey, correlação de Pearson e teste t de Student foram utilizados na análise estatística (p0,050). Em presença das bactérias P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola e P. intermédia a condição periodontal se mostrou pior. Concluiu-se que a cirurgia bariátrica promoveu impacto negativo nas condições de saúde bucal, especialmente doença periodontal e desgaste dentário. Foram observadas alterações na quantidade de bactérias periodontopatogênicas nos pacientes avaliados durante os três períodos, sendo que a P. gingivalis acompanhou o aumento da severidade da doença periodontal.The aim of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on periodontal condition and quantify periodontopathogenic bacteria in patients undergoing this surgery. This was a prospective study composed of 50 patients who underwent bariatric surgery for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in three hospitals in the state of São Paulo. Data collection was performed in three periods: preoperative, postoperative of 6 and 12 months and consisted of: salivary flow evaluation; oral clinical examination to assess tooth wear and periodontal disease; gingival fluid sample collection for quantification of periodontopathogenic bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola and Prevotella intermedia using Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (q-PCR); questionnaire applied as regards factors related to occurrence of tooth wear and self-perceived oral health; weight and height evaluation to determine the body mass index (BMI), in addition to collection of individual\'s health-related data from medical files. At baseline, 51 patients with normal BMI were analyzed and compared with obese subjects. ANOVA, Tukey test, Pearson correlation and Students t-test were used for statistical analysis (p 0.050). In the presence of P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T.denticola and P. intermedia, a worse periodontal condition was observed. It was concluded that bariatric surgery promoted negative impact on oral health conditions, especially periodontal disease and tooth wear. Changes were observed in the amount of periodontopathogenic bacteria in the patients evaluated during the three periods, and P. gingivalis accompanied the increased periodontal disease severity

Intraoral distalizer effects with conventional and skeletal Anchorage: a meta-analysis

Introduction: The aims of this meta-analysis were to quantify and to compare the amounts of distalization and anchorage loss of conventional and skeletal anchorage methods in the correction of Class II malocclusion with intraoral distalizers. Methods: The literature was searched through 5 electronic databases, and inclusion criteria were applied. Articles that presented pretreatment and posttreatment cephalometric values were preferred. Quality assessments of the studies were performed. The averages and standard deviations of molar and premolar effects were extracted from the studies to perform a meta-analysis. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 40 studies were included in the systematic review. After the quality analysis, 2 articles were classified as high quality, 27 as medium quality, and 11 as low quality. For the meta-analysis, 6 studies were included, and they showed average molar distalization amounts of 3.34 mm with conventional anchorage and 5.10 mm with skeletal anchorage. The meta-analysis of premolar movement showed estimates of combined effects of 2.30 mm (mesialization) in studies with conventional anchorage and 4.01 mm (distalization) in studies with skeletal anchorage. Conclusions: There was scientific evidence that both anchorage systems are effective for distalization; however, with skeletal anchorage, there was no anchorage loss when direct anchorage was used
