Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal: uma análise da reorganização da atenção à saúde bucal em Cascavel e demais municípios integrantes da 10 Regional de Saúde no Estado do Paraná

O Ministério da Saúde (MS), através de sua política de incentivos financeiros, vem promovendo um processo de reorganização da atenção à saúde bucal, com a implantação das Equipes de Saúde Bucal (ESB) na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), no âmbito da atenção básica, e dos Centros de Especialização Odontológica (CEO) e Laboratório Regional de Próteses Dentárias (LRPD), na atenção secundária. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação foca o processo de reorganização da atenção à saúde bucal em Cascavel e nos demais municípios pertencentes à 10 Regional de Saúde do Estado do Paraná. Consideramos que, em tese, este processo de regionalização deve ser orientado pelas diretrizes da Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB), que priorizam a atenção básica em saúde bucal através da ESF e trazem ainda como proposta a ampliação da média e alta complexidade em saúde bucal. Foi realizada ampla pesquisa nas bases de dados do DATASUS, relativos à produção das ações de saúde bucal dos 25 municípios pertencentes à 10 Regional de Saúde do Estado do Paraná, no período de janeiro de 1998 a dezembro de 2007. Os dados foram cotejados com aqueles disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Atenção Básica (DAB) relativos à implantação das ESB, CEO e LRPD. Os resultados demonstram que, no âmbito da 10 RS, ocorreu ampliação do acesso e da oferta de ações e serviços de saúde bucal. No entanto, a despeito da ampliação do acesso, há um longo caminho a ser percorrido para que haja avanços significativos nas condições de saúde bucal da população, tal como é a proposta da PNSB.

Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal:uma análise da reorganização da atenção à saúde bucal no Estado do Rio de Janeiro frente aos incentivos federais

Esta dissertação foca o processo de reorganização das ações e serviços de saúde bucal no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Este processo, em tese, deve ser orientado pelas diretrizes da Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB) que priorizam a atenção básica em saúde bucal através da Estratégia Saúde da Família e ampliam a atenção em saúde bucal na média e alta complexidades. O Ministério da Saúde lança mão de incentivos financeiros para induzir, sob condições específicas, a adesão às diretrizes formuladas pela Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB) e assim promover um processo de reorganização da atenção à saúde bucal nas esferas subnacionais. O núcleo deste trabalho tem por base uma pesquisa que analisa um amplo espectro de dados sobre os serviços e as ações de saúde bucal realizadas pelo conjunto dos municípios do estado do Rio de Janeiro no período de janeiro de 1998 a dezembro de 2007. As principais conclusões da pesquisa apontam para o caráter inconcluso do processo de reorganização da atenção em saúde bucal na grande maioria dos municípios estudados e para a necessidade de uma ação conjunta entre as autoridades sanitárias das esferas federal, estadual e municipal orientada para promover uma efetiva melhoria das condições de saúde da população tal como é a proposta da PNSB.

Referência e contra referência em saúde bucal: regulação do acesso aos centros de especialidades odontológicas

Objective Based on the system of reference and counter-reference and comprehensiveness in oral health care, we aimed to examine ways of refering users to Specialized Dental Care Centers (SDCC) and the interface between them and Primary Care. Methods This is a cross-sectional study carried out with users and dentists of SDCC in a metropolitan region of Northeast of Brazil. Analyses were descriptive, and the association test was done with chi-square. Results Six forms of entry to specialized service were identified: free demand (13.8 %) and reference by the Primary Care dentist (63.2 %) were most frequent. Users referred by the basic health unit dentist had more interest in making a counter-reference than the others (p<0.001, PR=4.65, 95 % CI: 2.74 to 7.91), while individuals without this referral had 1.49 times more difficulty obtaining care (95 % CI: 1.02 to 2.17). Referral procedures are a decisive factor for counter-references. However, the high demand for primary care services and the short supply these services can offer in the face of needs make SDCC performance difficult. Conclusion The analysis of oral health practices from the perspective of network modeling points to the service's need to establish protocols for regulation in a bid to improve access to and the quality of care provided.
