(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10) BICHARA, Lívia Monteiro; ARAGÓN, Mônica Lídia Castro de; BRANDÃO, Gustavo Antônio Martins; NORMANDO, Antonio David Corrêa
To improve orthodontic treatment efficiency, orthodontists must know which variables could interfere with orthodontic treatment time. Objective: To identify variables and their effect size on orthodontic treatment time of Class III malocclusion. Material and Methods: Forty-five Class III malocclusion cases were selected from 2008 patients’ records. Clinical charts, cephalometric radiographs, and pre and posttreatment dental casts were evaluated. Age, sex, PAR index at T1 and T2, overjet, missing teeth, extractions, number of treatment phases, missed appointments, appliance breakages, and cephalometric variables SNA, SNB, ANB, Wits, SnGoGn, CoA, CoGn, IMPA, 1.PP were investigated by multiple linear regression analysis and stepwise method at p<0.05. The sample was also divided into two groups: Group 0-2 (patients who had missed two clinical appointments or less) and Group >2 (patients who missed more than 2 appointments), to detect the influence of this data on treatment time and the quality of the treatment (PAR T2). Results: Average treatment time was 30.27 months. Multiple regression analysis showed that missed appointment (R2=0.4345) and appliance breakages (R2=0.0596) are the only variables able to significantly predict treatment duration. Treatment time for patients who missed more than 2 appointments was nearly one year longer. However, no significant influence on PAR T2 was observed for those patients. Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment duration in Class III patients is mainly influenced by factors related to patient compliance. Patients who missed more appointments did not show worse orthodontic finishing, but longer treatment. No occlusal, cephalometric, or demographic variable obtained before treatment was able to give some significant prediction about treatment time in Class III patients.

Planejamento em saúde: interação entre gestores & usuários no HPSM Mário Pinotti
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-06-20) SILVA, Tatiane Sousa; ACEVEDO MARIN, Rosa Elizabeth; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0087693866786684
Make plans in the area of health is not an issue that is confined to a single disciplinary matrix. To treat it is necessary to look at different areas of knowledge from a "transdisciplinary" perspective. In this research I will try to understand and assimilate new forms of management in health for HPSM Mario Pinotti (Belém-Pará) that it's not in its essence, merely representing a capitulation to a difficult economic situation, or in other words, succumbing before the current difficulties of the problems arising from a modern society with interests such as multiple than their actors. We started from need for proximity between people, in the context of the humanization of the relationship of research requires an attitude of valuing life above any structural process and / or technical-scientific. For this reason we chose as the main reference to Bourdieu's ethnographic research in an environment micro political from the perspective of establishing a comprehensive relationship with social actors acting. This methodological approach is fundamental to understanding the proposed object, which can hardly be made from the choice of simplified procedures like punctual interviews. What is abstracted from the results of this research is that there is a yearning on the part of managers and professionals in adapting to the demands to the hospital capacity of the hospital and not vice versa. However, there must be a balance between both that the proposed design achieves the goal that is the sort of financial and human resources with maximum efficiency possible. Policies and strategies must be considered under the aegis of a participatory planning by promoting a dialogue between those who depend on the system and work in / for the system.
