Tendência da política nacional de saúde bucal, 2009-2019: estudo de série temporal no Estado do Ceará

Abstract

Following the principles of the Unified Health System (SUS), the National Oral Health Policy (PNSB) aims to reorient dental care through health promotion as the main axis of care. In addition to universal access through the transversal insertion of oral health in the lines of care and ensuring integrality. In this sense, after a decade and a half of institutionalization of the PNSB, it is understood that it is necessary to carry out research that discusses its progress, indicating its scope and focus of action. The objective of this paper is to analyze the trend of PNBS indicators in the State of Ceará with a focus on access, promotion and comprehensive care from January 2009 to December 2019. For this, a time series analysis was performed, with a quantitative approach. In order to facilitate the search for data, a search instrument made by the author was used, covering data and indicators of interest available in the public domain. Patins-Winsten regression modeling will be used to analyze the trend of oral health indicators.The variables found to be ascending were Coverage of the Family Health teams and Oral Health teams of the State of Ceará, Oral Health Coverage of the State of Ceará and Brazil and Average Prophylaxis and Plaque Disclosure. The variables classified as decreasing were Average of First Programmatic Dental Consultation, Average of Supervised Dental Brushing and Average of Collective Action of Topical Fluoride Application. The ones said to be stationary were Number of Oral Health Teams, Average Topical Application of Fluoride, Average Application of Sealant and Cariostatic and the variables referring to Recovery and Rehabilitation.It is evident the need for new studies that contemplate the aspects not addressed and that explore the results from this research.
