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.
