The objective of this study is to assess fulfillment of the oral health goals of the Children's Preventive Health Care Initiative in 12 Health Units (HU) of a Primary Health Care Service, in Porto Alegre, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, through a cross-sectional analytical study on the annual dental visit coverage in early childhood. The study was comprised of 660 children born in 2010. In relation to the coverage of dental visits for each year of life of children, the health units did not achieve the set targets (100%). However, a considerable number of children (35%) had their first dental visit during the first year of life. In relation to the total number of visits, 22% of the children had never gone to the dentist and only 8% did the recommended four visits. There was a positive correlation between the ratio of the total population and children from ages 0 to 4 years in the area enrolled in the initiative, on the one hand, and the number of dental professionals and coverage in the first year of life in each health unit, on the other. Although few children had adequate follow-up visits in relation to the set targets, the percentage of coverage was higher than that found in the literature.
本研究的目的是通过一项关于幼儿年度牙科就诊覆盖率的横断面分析研究，评估南里奥格兰德州阿雷格里港初级卫生保健服务的12个卫生单位（HU）中儿童预防性保健倡议的口腔健康目标的完成情况。该研究包括660名2010年出生的儿童。就儿童每年的牙科就诊覆盖率而言，卫生单位未达到设定目标（100%）。然而，相当数量的儿童（35%）在出生后的第一年就进行了首次牙科就诊。就就诊总次数而言，22%的儿童从未看过牙医，只有8%的儿童进行了推荐的四次就诊。一方面，该倡议所覆盖地区的总人口与0至4岁儿童的比例，与另一方面每个卫生单位的牙科专业人员数量和出生后第一年的覆盖率之间存在正相关。尽管与设定目标相比，很少有儿童得到充分的随访就诊，但覆盖率高于文献中报道的比例。
