Resumo(s)
A digitalização transformou profundamente os contextos académicos, profissionais e sociais, tornando as tecnologias digitais parte integrante da vida quotidiana. Embora as tecnologias digitais melhorem a comunicação, o acesso à informação e a eficiência do trabalho, a sua utilização intensiva pode também gerar novas exigências cognitivas e organizacionais. Na medicina dentária, esta transformação reflete-se na utilização crescente de ferramentas digitais no diagnóstico, no planeamento terapêutico, na comunicação clínica e no ensino.
Esta tese tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre burnout digital e saúde oral numa perspetiva prudente e multifatorial. A literatura disponível sugere que esta relação não é direta nem linear, podendo ser mediada pelo stress crónico, pelas perturbações do sono, pelas alterações neuroendócrinas e imunitárias, pelas alterações salivares e por mudanças nos comportamentos de saúde.
Assim, o burnout digital pode influenciar indiretamente a saúde oral, contribuindo para bruxismo, disfunções temporomandibulares, dor orofacial, xerostomia, doenças periodontais, cárie dentária e menor qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde oral.
A prevenção deve integrar estratégias individuais, como a gestão do tempo de ecrã, a proteção do sono e a manutenção de comportamentos preventivos de saúde oral, bem como medidas institucionais, incluindo formação adequada, apoio organizacional e limites claros de disponibilidade digital.
Digitalisation has profoundly transformed academic, professional, social and healthcare contexts, making digital technologies an integral part of daily life. Although these technologies improve communication, access to information and work efficiency, their intensive use may also generate new cognitive and organisational demands. In dentistry, this transformation is reflected in the increasing use of digital tools for diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical communication and education. This thesis aims to analyse the relationship between digital burnout and oral health from a cautious and multifactorial perspective. The available literature suggests that this relationship is neither direct nor linear, and may be mediated by chronic stress, sleep disturbances, neuroendocrine and immune changes, salivary alterations and changes in health behaviours. Thus, digital burnout may indirectly influence oral health, contributing to bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, orofacial pain, xerostomia, periodontal diseases, dental caries and poorer oral health-related quality of life. Prevention should include individual strategies, such as screen-time management, sleep protection and the maintenance of preventive oral health behaviours, as well as institutional measures, including adequate training, organisational support and clear limits regarding digital availability.
