Resumo(s)
Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento das grávidas e a sua perceção sobre saúde oral, através dos
seus hábitos alimentares e de higiene oral, assim como verificar a variação dos conhecimentos
e comportamentos desta temática nos últimos 17 anos, em Portugal.
Materiais e Método: Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal, numa amostra de 33
grávidas que frequentavam uma clínica de medicina dentária no distrito do Porto, Portugal, no
fim do ano de 2017. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário autoaplicável,
distribuído de forma aleatória e comparados os resultados com os obtidos num estudo similar
realizado em 2001, em Portugal, utilizando o SPSS e um teste de Qui-Quadrado, com um
nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05).
Resultados: Das mulheres questionadas, 69,7% fizeram estudos superiores e 88% afirmavam
consultar um médico dentista durante a gravidez. O flúor foi identificado como o elemento
carioprotector por 64% das grávidas.
Conclusão: Este estudo destaca que muitas grávidas consultam o médico dentista, durante o
período de gestação e que estão mais informadas do que há 17 anos, mas ainda existe muito a
fazer. Considera-se que é necessário reforçar e adaptar os meios atuais de prevenção e de
apoio, quer seja financeiro ou informativo, por parte do Estado e dos profissionais de saúde.
Aim: To determine what is pregnant women’s knowledge about their own and children’s oral health through their hygienic and food habits to evaluate behaviour and knowledge about this theme through the last 17 years, in Portugal Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed with 33 pregnant women who were consulting at a dental clinic located in the District of Porto, Portugal, at the end of 2017. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire, randomly distributed and the results compared with those obtained in a study carried out in 2001 in Portugal, using SPSS and Chi2 with a significant level of 5%. Results: 69,7% women had higher education and 88% were attended by a dentist during pregnancy. Fluoride was not identified as radioprotector by 64% of pregnant. Conclusion: This study highlights that a majority of pregnant women see a dentist during their pregnancy and that they are more aware about oral health comparing to 17 years before. but there is still much to be done. It is needed to improve and adapt actual prevention and support means, economic or informative, by government or health professionals.
