Abstract

In Brazil, in 2010, approximately 24% of the population had some type of disability and the State of Sergipe 25% of the population. Due to this demand, in 2004 the National Oral Health Policy was created, which, among others, established secondary level oral health care for Pacient with Disabilities (PD). Thus, the objective of the present study was to verify the profile of the PD assisted at the Dental Specialties Center (CEO) of São Cristóvão/SE and the most performed dental procedures. For this purpose, the medical records of the PD attended from January 2019 to September 2022 were analyzed. It was verified that there was assistance in 2019 of 101 patients, 2020 of 71 patients, 2021 of 33 patients and in 2022 of 87 patients. The city of origin of the PDs is 68.7% of the municipality where the CEO is located (São Cristóvão). Regarding the diagnosis of patients, the most prevalent were autism (10%), followed by Down syndrome (4%) and cerebral palsy (4%). Of the total number of procedures performed, 160 ATF (Topical Application of Fluoride), followed by 148 prophylaxis, 116 adequacy of the oral environment, 138 extractions, 98 resin restorations, 58 amalgam restorations, 111 periodontics care (scaling and root planing) and 45 oral hygiene guidelines. In view of the data, it was observed that the CEO of São Cristóvão behaves with a predominance of attendances from their municipalities and there is still a high prevalence of attendance of tooth extractions.
