Abstract(s)
Introdução: Os pacientes com incapacidade apresentam um elevado risco e
prevalência de doenças na cavidade oral, enfrentando inúmeras barreiras no
acesso ao atendimento médico-dentário. Tendo em conta esta premissa, surgiu
o projeto “Sorrisos Especiais” em que através da metodologia AprendizagemServiço os alunos prestam um serviço à comunidade, ao mesmo tempo em que
colocam em prática todos os conhecimentos adquiridos ao longo do curso.
Objetivos: Avaliar e quantificar a tipologia de tratamentos médico-dentários
realizados em pacientes com incapacidade; determinar a influência desta
experiência ApS nas atitudes dos alunos face às pessoas com incapacidade e
avaliar a percepção deste projeto na ótica dos cuidadores formais.
Materiais e Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo observacional descritivo
transversal. Foi aplicado um questionário aos alunos e outro aos cuidadores,
sendo ainda realizado um levantamento dos tratamentos médico-dentários
realizados. Os dados recolhidos foram tratados estatisticamente através do
software SPSS versão 25.0.
Resultados: Foram realizados 111 diagnósticos clínicos, 132 destartarizações,
129 restaurações, 120 extrações, 25 tratamentos protéticos, 24 endodontias, 16
aplicações de flúor e 6 aplicações de selantes, num total de 563 tratamentos
médico-dentários. A alteração de atitudes dos estudantes face às pessoas com
incapacidade foi positiva, ainda que pouco expressiva e sem significância
estatística. Os cuidadores ficaram muito ou totalmente satisfeitos com o projeto,
evidenciando como pontos positivos a motivação, a gentileza, o cuidado na
explicação técnica, a resiliência, o acompanhamento contínuo e a gratuitidade
das consultas. Como aspetos a melhorar salientaram o aumento da formação
em pacientes invisuais, os horários e o registo informatizado da informação
clínica.Conclusão: Verifica-se uma elevada prevalência de necessidades médicodentárias nos pacientes com incapacidades. A ApS constituiu-se como uma ferramenta de inovação pedagógica fundamental na formação técnica e social dos alunos, ao mesmo tempo que contribuiu para a saúde oral e qualidade de
vida de uma população tão vulnerável.
Introduction: Patients with disabilities have a high risk and prevalence of diseases in the oral cavity, facing numerous barriers in access to dental care. Taking this premise into account, the "Sorrisos Especiais" project arose, in which through the Service-Learning methodology students provide a service to the community, while putting into practice all the knowledge acquired throughout the course. Objectives: To evaluate and quantify the types of medical-dental treatments performed on patients with disabilities; to determine the influence of this ApS experience on students' attitudes towards people with disabilities and to evaluate the impact of this project from the perspective of formal caregivers. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out. A questionnaire was applied to the students and another to the caregivers, and a survey of the medical and dental treatments performed was also carried out. The collected data were statistically treated using the SPSS software version 25.0. Results: A total of 111 clinical diagnoses, 132 scale removals, 129 fillings, 120 extractions, 25 prosthetic treatments, 24 endodontics, 16 fluoride applications, and 6 sealant applications were performed, for a total of 563 dental treatments. The change in students' attitudes toward people with disabilities was positive, although not significant and without statistical significance. The caregivers were very or totally satisfied with the project, highlighting as positive points the motivation, kindness, care in technical explanation, resilience, continuous follow-up and free consultations. As aspects to be improved, they emphasized the need to increase training in blind patients, schedules, and computerized registration of clinical information. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of medical-dental needs in patients with disabilities. The ApS was a fundamental pedagogical innovation tool in the students' technical and social training, while contributing to the oral health and quality of life of such a vulnerable population.
