Brazil's public healthcare system (SUS) offers specialized oral health services to Brazilians, but the productivity of specialists, such as Pediatric Dentists, has not been characterized. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the outpatient dental procedures (ODPs) carried out by Pediatric Dentists within the SUS. An epidemiological study with an ecological, longitudinal, retrospective, and quantitative approach was conducted. The ODPs carried out by Pediatric Dentists within the SUS were characterized based on type of procedure, complexity level, and circumstance (urgent or elective). Data were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical approach, considering a significance level of 5%, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (the 2020-2022 years were not included in secondary analyses). In the last 15 years, 29,234,972 ODPs were carried out by Pediatric Dentists within the SUS. Clinical procedures were the majority (55.4%), significantly more frequent than all other types of procedures (all p <0.05). Among these, restorative and periodontal procedures were the most common (30.7% and 21.0%, respectively). From 2008 to 2019, excluding COVID-19 pandemic years, the trend over the last 15 years was constant for all types of procedures (all p >0.05). In addition, low complexity ODPs were the majority (90.1%), significantly more frequent than medium (9.7%) and high complexity procedures (0.1%) (both p <0.05). At last, most ODPs were not characterized by circumstance in the outpatient production reports (96.9%). Therefore, it was possible to conclude that Pediatric Dentists carried out diverse ODPs within the SUS over the past 15 years, although there was a dominant pattern of type and complexity.
巴西的公共医疗体系(SUS)为巴西人提供专业的口腔健康服务,但专家的生产力,如儿科牙医,尚未得到描述。因此,本研究的目的是描述儿科牙医在 SUS 中进行的门诊牙科程序(ODP)。这是一项采用生态、纵向、回顾性和定量方法的流行病学研究。根据程序类型、复杂程度和情况(紧急或选择性)对 SUS 内儿科牙医进行的 ODP 进行了描述。使用描述性和分析性方法对数据进行了分析,考虑了 5%的显著性水平,以及 COVID-19 大流行的影响(2020-2022 年未包括在二次分析中)。在过去的 15 年中,SUS 内的儿科牙医共进行了 29234972 次 ODP。临床程序是大多数(55.4%),明显比其他类型的程序更常见(p<0.05 均)。其中,修复和牙周程序最为常见(分别为 30.7%和 21.0%)。从 2008 年到 2019 年,排除 COVID-19 大流行年,过去 15 年的趋势对所有类型的程序都是一致的(p>0.05 均)。此外,低复杂度 ODP 占多数(90.1%),明显高于中复杂度(9.7%)和高复杂度程序(0.1%)(均 p<0.05)。最后,大多数 ODP 在门诊生产报告中并没有被描述为情况(96.9%)。因此,可以得出结论,在过去的 15 年里,儿科牙医在 SUS 中进行了各种各样的 ODP,尽管存在主导类型和复杂性模式。
