Abstract(s)
Introdução: O envelhecimento é um processo natural que pode afetar negativamente a região perioral, comprometendo a estética e a autoestima dos indivíduos.
Os profissionais da área de Medicina Dentária têm adotado diferentes abordagens terapêuticas para lidar com as alterações decorrentes do envelhecimento facial. Uma dessas abordagens é o preenchimento facial com ácido hialurónico, uma técnica minimamente invasiva que visa melhorar tanto a função como a aparência da região perioral.
Objetivo: Investigar os benefícios do preenchimento com ácido hialurónico nos tecidos moles da zona perioral em pessoas com envelhecimento anatómico no terço inferior da face, como uma abordagem para atenuar os efeitos do envelhecimento na região perioral e melhorar a estética facial, autoestima e qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo de investigação por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, seguindo as diretrizes do método Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). A pesquisa e seleção de artigos foi realizada entre janeiro de 2009 a abril de 2023. Foram selecionados 16 artigos relevantes nas bases de dados MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete e MedicLatina, utilizando a mnemónica PI(C)O para refinar a pergunta de investigação.
Resultados: O preenchimento facial com ácido hialurónico melhorou a aparência estética da face, aumentou a autoestima e a satisfação dos pacientes, além de proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida. No entanto, observou-se um nível metodológico fraco nos estudos selecionados, ressaltando a necessidade de futuras pesquisas com maior relevância metodológica.
Conclusão: No contexto da profissão de Medicina Dentária, esta tese pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de currículos e programas educacionais, enfatizando a importância da Harmonização Orofacial como uma competência essencial para os Médicos Dentistas. Essa competência fortalece a formação dos profissionais e incentiva a atualização constante, garantindo que eles possam oferecer tratamentos avançados e alicerçados numa prática baseada em evidências científicas.
Introduction: Aging is a natural process that can negatively affect the perioral region, compromising the aesthetics and self-esteem of individuals. Dentistry professionals have adopted different therapeutic approaches to deal with the changes resulting from facial aging. One such approach is facial filling with hyaluronic acid, a minimally invasive technique that aims to improve both the function and appearance of the perioral region. Aim: To investigate the benefits of hyaluronic acid filling in the soft tissues of the perioral area in people with anatomical aging in the lower third of the face, as an approach to mitigate the effects of aging in the perioral region and improve patients' facial aesthetics, self-esteem, and quality of life. Methodology: A research study was conducted by means of a integrative literature review, following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method. The review covered a period from January 2009 to April 2023 and 16 relevant articles were selected from MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete and MedicLatina databases, using the mnemonic PI(C)O to refine the research question. Results: The main results highlighted that facial filler with hyaluronic acid improved the aesthetic appearance of the face, increased patients' self-esteem, and satisfaction, and provided a better quality of life. However, a poor level of methodological evidence was observed in the selected studies, highlighting the need for future research with greater methodological relevance. Conclusion: In the context of the dental profession, this thesis may contribute to the development of curricula and educational programs, emphasizing the importance of orofacial harmonization as a core competency for dental practitioners. This strengthens the training of professionals and encourages constant updating, ensuring that they can offer advanced treatments grounded in a practice based on scientific evidence.
