Brief Summary

Tumors in the oral region occur more frequently in men over 40, but can affect people of both gender and all ages, even children. The prevention of oral cancer acquires relevance in public health, particularly if the investigators consider that the preventive approach is compatible with the nature of this disease, as the mouth favors easy visual access.

Detailed Description

Tumors in the oral region occur more frequently in men over 40, but can affect people of both sexes and all ages, even children. The prevention of oral cancer acquires relevance in public health, particularly if the investigators consider that the preventive approach is compatible with the nature of this disease, as the mouth favors easy visual access. The objective of this study is evaluation the prevalence of oral and perioral injuries in workers who were exposed to the sun on the beaches, investigating possible associations of a sociodemographic, occupational and general health nature. Firstly, information about the care, symptoms and forms of prevention will be explained for each worker approached, if the individual agrees to an oral examination, it can be performed by evaluating lips and peri-oral mucosa and within the needs of oral treatment, it can be referred for treatment at the clinic of the Dentistry Especialist Center of Santos/SP The street vendors who underwent the first assessment will be visited 2 more times according to the schedule, after the carnival of 2020 being the last assessment and thus being able to have data on the effectiveness of the information and past care during the visits made. As expected results, a greater awareness of the dangers of sun exposure, greater protection care and the ability to carry out self-examination at home being an information disseminator.

Conditions

Buccal Cavity Cancer; Labial Lipoma

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: CASE_CONTROL
• Study Time Perspective: RETROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

beach workers

Workers must undergo clinical examinations of the upper and lower lips, performed by previously calibrated researchers, through semi-technical inspection and palpation maneuvers, in order to identify injuries. Photo cameras can be used to improve the visibility of the lips using the image enhancement feature, to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical examination will include: dryness, atrophy, scaly lesions, lip swelling, erythema, ulcerations, cloudy demarcations between the vermilion of the lip and skin, demarcated folds along the lip, white spots or plaques, crusts, stained or pale areas.

They should be evaluated with the application of a previously validated questionnaire containing information related to personal data, information on occupation and health was completed according to the responses of the volunteers. The OHIP-14 quality of life questionnaire will be applied together

Oral clinical exam

Intervention Type: OTHER

Detailed anamnesis, with information regarding the time of sun exposure, protection measures, medical history and application of questionnaires will be carried out. Dental dental and tissue examination should be performed
