0291/2015 - Saúde Bucal na Ação Programática da Criança: indicadores e metas de um Serviço de Atenção Primária à Saúde Oral Health in the Initiative for Children: indicators and goals of a Basic Healthcare Service
O objetivo foi avaliar o cumprimento das metas de saúde bucal da Ação Programática da Criança em 12 Unidades de Saúde (US) de um Serviço de Atenção Primária à Saúde, Porto Alegre-RS, através de um estudo analítico transversal sobre a cobertura das consultas odontológicas anuais na primeira infância. Foram incluídas no estudo 660 crianças nascidas em 2010. Em relação à cobertura das consultas odontológicas a cada ano de vida da criança, as unidades de saúde não atingiram as metas estabelecidas (100%). A maior parte das crianças (35%) realizou sua primeira consulta no primeiro ano de vida. Em relação ao número total de consultas, 22% das crianças nunca consultaram e apenas 8% realizaram as quatro consultas preconizadas. Houve correlação positiva entre a razão da população total e de crianças de 0-4 anos da área adscrita com o número de profissionais da odontologia e a cobertura no primeiro ano de vida de cada US. Apesar de poucas crianças terem o acompanhamento adequado em relação à meta estabelecida, os percentuais de cobertura foram superiores aos encontrados na literatura.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper was to analyze the achievement of oral health targets set by the Initiative for Children at 12 health clinics run by a Basic Healthcare Service in Porto Alegre-RS, through a crosswise analytical study of the coverage of annual dental appointments in early childhood. Six hundred and sixty children born in 2010 were included in the study. The health clinics failed to reach the targets set (100%) regarding the coverage of dental appointments in every year of children‘s life. Most children (41%) had their first appointment in their first year of life. With respect to the total number of appointments, 22% of children had never seen a dentist and only 8% went to all of the appointments recommended. There was a positive correlation between the ratio of the total population along with children aged 0 to 4 years in that particular area and the number of dental practitioners and the coverage in the first year of life at each health clinic. Although few children were being seen by dentists at the recommended rate, the coverage percentages were above those found in the literature.
