(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-12-04) Silva, Ian Rafael Brandão da; Pinto, Adriana Beatriz Silveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6500412100135501; Pinto, Adriana Beatriz Silveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6500412100135501; Passos, Shirley Maria de Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3071736971449041; Silva, Franklin Barbosa da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8018345361658541
To evaluate the prevalence of dental trauma in 12-year-old children in Brazil using data from the SB Brasil 2010 and SB Brasil 2023 national surveys, and identify temporal and regional trends. Methods: An exploratory ecological study with secondary data from the SB Brasil 2010 and SB Brasil 2023 national epidemiological surveys, that analyzing on the occurrence of crown fractures and dental avulsions in permanent incisors. Evaluation criteria included signs of crown fracture and dental avulsion, following standardized protocol based on O'Brien Index, adapted according to WHO guidelines. Results: A significant reduction in the overall prevalence of dental trauma was observed between 2010 and 2023, from 20.5% to 13.66%. The "no trauma" category increased from 79.5% to 86.34%. Enamel fractures decreased from 16.5% to 8.47%, while enamel and dentin fractures reduced from 3.7% to 1.40%. The North region showed the greatest relative reduction, with enamel fractures declining from 21.8% to 8.56%. The introduction of the "treated fracture" category in the 2023 survey (3.38% nationally) indicates improved access to treatment. Conclusion: The data reveal a positive trend in reducing untreated dental trauma in 12-year-old children in Brazil, possibly related to improvements in oral health policies, preventive programs, and greater access to treatment. The maintenance of low prevalences of severe fractures and avulsions suggests effectiveness of implemented public health strategies. However, regional challenges persist that require targeted interventions and continuity of prevention and oral health education programs.

The André Vidal de Araújo Municipal Special Education School (EMEEAVA) is an institution that promotes school education and the development of the potential of students with disabilities, at all stages and modalities of basic education. This research aimed to evaluate the oral health conditions of EMEEAVA students and the understanding of their relatives and/or caregivers regarding oral health. An interview was conducted with the guardians/caregivers, and doubts regarding oral hygiene care were clarified. Through the procedures that were carried out, a booklet of dental information on oral hygiene practices was developed.
Análise de prevalência de fluorose e cárie dentária em crianças de uma escola pública de Manaus – AM
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-11-24) Fonseca, Diego Dias; Dutra, André Luiz Tannus; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6531187568170608; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3717754606915704; Pinto, Adriana Beatriz Silveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6500412100135501; Dutra, André Luiz Tannus; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6531187568170608; Carvalhal, Cintia Iara Oda; Pinto, Adriana Beatriz Silveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6500412100135501
The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dental fluorosis and dental caries in
students from a public school in the city of Manaus, Amazonas. This is an observational,
analytical, descriptive, and cross-sectional study conducted with 212 schoolchildren aged 6
to 11 years from Escola Municipal Agenor Ferreira Lima. The clinical examination was
performed in the school environment using a dental mirror and a probe recommended by
the World Health Organization (WHO). Dental fluorosis was diagnosed using Dean’s Index,
and dental caries was assessed using the DMFT index. Statistical analysis included
descriptive procedures and association tests, adopting a significance level of p < 0,05.
Among the participants, 54.29% were female, and 43.6% were 8 years old. The prevalence
of fluorosis was 25%, with a predominance of very mild and mild degrees, while the
prevalence of dental caries was 46.2%. A statistically significant association was observed
between fluorosis and sex (p = 0.014), with higher occurrence in girls. No statistically
significant associations were found between fluorosis and age (p = 0.063), nor between
dental caries and fluorosis (p = 0.689), indicating that the presence of fluorosis does not
imply additional protection against caries. The results highlight the need for continuous
monitoring of fluoride exposure to ensure its preventive benefits against dental caries while
reducing the risk and severity of fluorosis.
Diagnóstico de carcinoma espinocelular moderadamente diferenciado HPV associado em paciente senil: relato de caso
(Universidade do Estado doAmazonas, 2025-12-10) Paiva, Eduarda Alves; Cabral, Lioney Nobre; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8956633114853772; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1321131301127268; Cabral, Lioney Nobre; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8956633114853772; Barroso, Mara Lilian Sevalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3480508540885994; Vasconcelos II, Antônio Jorge Araújo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5548562970182242
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common malignancy in the head and neck region,
accounting for more than 90% of cases of oral malignancies. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a
double-stranded virus belonging to the papillomaviridae family that lives in the cutaneous and
mucosal epithelium due to its specific tropism for epithelium. More than 200 types of HPV have
been described, but not all are related to oral cavity disease. High-risk HPV types are
associated with dysplasia and SCC, especially HPV16 and 18. The objective of this study is to
report the diagnosis of moderately differentiated SCC associated with HPV in a senile patient,
with the aid of immunohistochemistry, since histopathological examination alone was not
sufficient to confirm the viral etiology of the malignancy. A 67-year-old female patient was
referred to the POUEA stomatology clinic, presenting clinically with a leukoerythroplastic lesion
of lichenoid pattern measuring approximately 2 cm in the anterior 2/3 of the right lateral border
of the tongue, with an ulcer in the center. An incisional biopsy was performed and the
histopathological report showed moderately differentiated SCC. Immunohistochemical analysis
was recommended, where the biomarkers PanCK, P16 and P53 tested positive and Ki-67 had
a rate of 40%, which certified HPV as the etiological agent of the malignancy.
Presença do cirurgião-dentista em unidade hospitalar e o atendimento de paciente com epilepsia: relato de caso.
(Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, 2025-12-03) Pereira, Eduardo Braga; Ribeiro, Eliane de Oliveira Aranha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0335350245760195; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3079848957874739; Ribeiro, Eliane de Oliveira Aranha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0335350245760195; Prestes, Gimol Benchimol Resende; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1760015687924411; Brum, Joelson Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0257556911502691
Hospital dentistry encompasses specific actions of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment aimed
mainly at managing patients with systemic complications, in whom the risk of oral alterations
increases considerably. This study aimed to describe the relevance of the dentist’s role in the
hospital setting through the clinical case report of a patient with epilepsy admitted to a hospital
ward. The methodology consisted of an interview with the patient’s guardian, analysis of
laboratory tests from the medical record, and bedside clinical evaluation, followed by dental
intervention carried out by the Hospital Dentistry Extension Project team from the State
University of Amazonas. The patient, a 36-year-old male, presented with drug-induced gingival
hyperplasia, xerostomia, biofilm accumulation, and severe motor limitations. Supragingival and
subgingival scaling, prophylaxis, topical fluoride application, and oral hygiene instructions were
provided to the nursing staff and caregivers. During periodontal scaling, physical restraint using
a sheet was required to ensure the patient’s safety and stability throughout the procedure. The
results showed reduced dental plaque, improved gingival contour, and better bleeding control.
The case highlights that the continuous use of anticonvulsants in hospitalized patients with
epilepsy increases their vulnerability to oral alterations, reinforcing that the presence of a dentist
within the multidisciplinary team is essential. Furthermore, the case emphasizes the importance
of expanding and standardizing hospital dentistry, especially within the Unified Health System
(SUS), to ensure efficient and continuous care for patients with complex systemic conditions
such as epilepsy.
