| Abstract |
The scope of this study was to compare epidemiological indicators of the need for prosthetic rehabilitation in 2003 with the number of regional prosthodontic laboratories (LRPD) and technicians in prosthodontics (TPD) in the five Brazilian regions between 2012 and 2013. Data regarding health services were obtained from DATASUS and epidemiological data were obtained from SBBrasil 2003. The rates of dental prostheses produced and LRPD and TPD were calculated per 100,000 people. The Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square test were used for analysis. The results show that the sex/age adjusted prevalence of edentulism varied between regions (p < 0.01), being higher in the Southeast (13.9%). The highest mean number of missing teeth was found in the North (10.3 teeth). The highest availability of LRPD (1.16 per 100,000) and TPD (1.05 per 100,000) occurred in the Northeast region. The highest need for complete dentures (7.2%) was reported in the North, but was the lowest in delivery of dentures (9.71 per 100,000). There were statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) among regions for both LRPD, TPD rates for prostheses. It is considered that criteria other than epidemiological aspects influenced the opening of LRPD in the country. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 October 2015.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#1,510
of 2,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#210,057
of 286,877 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#26
of 39 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,035 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 286,877 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 39 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
