Abstract

Aims: To investigate factors associated with prenatal dental care carried out by Brazilian dentists (DSs). Study Design:  Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Dental clinic of the Dentistry school of the Federal University of Alfenas, between January 2022 and June 2022. Methodology: A questionnaire was administered to Brazilian DSs. The sample was selected by convenience and snowball effect from 18 states and the Federal District and were analyzed using Pearson's Chi-square and Likelihood ratio tests (P < .05). Results: Of the 1,696 responses, 586 were excluded and 77.70% represented female DSs. Statistically significant association was observed between gender and year of graduation (P = .01), with the majority of the sample being composed of female professionals (graduated between 2014 and 2022). Among who believed that myths and taboos could influence the demand for treatment, 79.50% were female (P = .01). Among those who agreed that the COVID-19 pandemic was an aggravating factor in reducing this demand, were also female (P = .02). According to lack of guidance/knowledge on the part of pregnant women was one of the main reasons reported by 31.17% of males (P = .01). Pregnant women not able to take anesthesia was one of the main beliefs reported by female DSs (P = .01). Conclusion: There is a need for more information for pregnant patients and professionals, so that the myths and taboos that still exist don’t influence the low demand for this type of care.
从牙科医生的角度看产前牙科护理的相关因素:横断面研究
目的:调查与巴西牙医(DSs)开展产前牙科护理相关的因素。研究设计: 横断面研究。研究地点和时间:阿尔费纳斯联邦大学牙科学院牙科诊所,2022 年 1 月至 2022 年 6 月。研究方法:对巴西 DS 进行问卷调查。样本从 18 个州和联邦区通过方便和滚雪球效应选出,并使用皮尔逊卡方检验和似然比检验进行分析(P < .05)。结果:在 1,696 份回复中,586 份被排除在外,77.70% 为女性 DSs。性别与毕业年份之间存在明显的统计学关联(P = .01),样本中大部分为女性专业人员(毕业于 2014 年至 2022 年)。在认为神话和禁忌会影响治疗需求的人群中,79.50% 为女性(P = .01)。在认为 COVID-19 大流行是减少这种需求的一个加重因素的人中,也有女性(P = 0.02)。孕妇缺乏指导/知识是 31.17% 的男性报告的主要原因之一(P = .01)。孕妇无法接受麻醉是女性 DSs 报告的主要信念之一(P = .01)。结论有必要向孕妇患者和专业人员提供更多信息,以免仍然存在的迷信和禁忌影响对此类护理的低需求。
