This study evaluated territorial disparities in dental care for disabled persons in Brazil's public healthcare system from 2014 to 2023. The person-year incidence of outpatient dental procedures carried out by special care dentistry specialists and hospitalizations for dental procedures for disabled persons were compared across different regions and against the national estimate. In addition, productivity was correlated with oral health-related indicators. The significance level was set at 5%. The northern region exhibited the highest outpatient productivity, while the southern region showed lower productivity compared to the national estimate (both -value < 0.05). This pattern was reversed in inpatient productivity (both -value < 0.05), with the northeastern and central-western regions also below average (both -value < 0.05). There were no significant correlations between the indicators and inpatient productivity, but outpatient productivity was positively correlated with the proportions of inhabitants who self-rated their general and oral health as "poor" or "very poor", who have never visited a dentist, and who visited a dentist for tooth extraction (all -values < 0.05). Territorial disparities in dental care for disabled persons were observed within Brazil's public healthcare system, and they were correlated with unfavorable oral health-related indicators at the population level.
本研究评估了 2014 年至 2023 年期间巴西公共医疗体系中残疾人士牙科护理的地区差异。比较了特殊护理牙医专家进行的门诊牙科手术和残疾人士牙科手术住院治疗的人次发生率,同时与全国估计值进行了比较。此外,还将生产力与口腔健康相关指标进行了关联。显著性水平设为 5%。北部地区的门诊生产力最高,而南部地区的生产力则低于全国估计值(均 -value < 0.05)。这种模式在住院生产力中发生了逆转(均 -value < 0.05),东北地区和中-西部地区的生产力也低于平均水平(均 -value < 0.05)。指标与住院生产力之间没有显著相关性,但门诊生产力与居民中自评为“差”或“非常差”的一般和口腔健康比例、从未看过牙医以及因拔牙而看过牙医的比例呈正相关(均 -value < 0.05)。在巴西公共医疗体系中观察到残疾人士牙科护理的地区差异,并且这些差异与人群中不利的口腔健康相关指标相关。
