Resumen

BADO, Fernanda Maria Rovai et al. Repercussions of the COVID-19 epidemic on Brazilian National Health System urgent dental care in Piracicaba, Brazil, 2020. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4, e2021321.  Epub 29-Nov-2021. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-49742021000400023.

Objective

To evaluate the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on procedures performed by a public urgent dental care service (PUDS).

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study, using data from the PUDS in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil, prior to the pandemic (February-March 2020) and during the pandemic (March-April 2020). Differences in the care profile between the pre-COVID-19 period and the COVID-19 period, according to sex, age and dental procedures were analyzed using Pearson’s Chi-square test. Effect size was also measured using Cramer’s V.

Results

There was a 51% reduction in the number of visits between the pre-COVID-19 period (n=824) and the COVID-19 period (n=404). The percentage of extractions reduced from 14.7% to 8.9%, while the percentage of temporary cavity fillings increased from 22.9% to 33.2%, between the two periods.

Conclusion

The COVID-19 pandemic had repercussions on the amount and pattern of procedures performed at the city’s urgent dental care service.
