Abstract(s)
Objetivos: Investigar, através dos registos clínicos dos pacientes pediátricos das Clínicas Pedagógicas de Medicina Dentária da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, a prevalência de defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte (DDE) e de cárie dentária, tendo em conta a idade gestacional (nascimento prematuro vs. termo). Analisaram-se também o impacto do baixo peso ao nascimento, tipo de parto e medicação durante a gravidez na ocorrência de DDE, bem como a relação entre fatores como amamentação, patologias otorrinolaringológicas, hábitos de higiene oral e presença de DDE com o desenvolvimento de cárie dentária.
Métodos: Estudo observacional, transversal, baseado na análise de 191 registos clínicos. Utilizaram-se métodos estatísticos bivariados e multivariados para avaliação dos fatores de risco, com recurso ao IBM SPSS Statistics v.29.0.
Resultados: A prevalência de DDE foi de 53,9%, com maior ocorrência nas crianças nascidas pré-termo (90,2% vs. 36,9%, p<0,001). A hipomineralização incisivo-molar foi o DDE mais frequente. O baixo peso ao nascimento (OR=4,380), parto pré-termo (OR=15,660) e tipo de parto com ventosa (OR=5,417) foram fatores de risco significativos para DDE. A presença de DDE aumentou significativamente o risco de cárie dentária (OR=3,760, p=0,002).
Conclusão: A prematuridade revelou ser um fator de risco determinante para DDE e cárie dentária, destacando-se a importância de acompanhamento médico-dentário precoce e contínuo em crianças prematuras, com vista à prevenção e mitigação de complicações orais.
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of enamel development defects (DDE) and dental caries in pediatric patients at the Pedagogical Clinics of Dental Medicine at Fernando Pessoa University, based on clinical records, considering gestational age (preterm vs. full-term). Additionally, to assess the influence of low birth weight, type of delivery and medication during pregnancy on DDE, and the relationship between breastfeeding, ENT pathologies, oral hygiene habits and DDE in the development of dental caries. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted based on the analysis of 191 clinical records. Statistical analysis included bivariate and multivariate approaches using IBM SPSS Statistics v.29.0. Results: DDE prevalence was 53.9%, significantly higher in preterm children (90.2% vs. 36.9%, p<0.001). Molar incisor hypomineralization was the most frequent DDE. Low birth weight (OR=4.380), preterm birth (OR=15.660) and ventouse-assisted delivery (OR=5.417) were significant risk factors for DDE. DDE presence strongly increased the risk of dental caries (OR=3.760, p=0.002). Conclusion: Prematurity is a significant risk factor for DDE and dental caries, highlighting the need for early and continuous dental monitoring of preterm children within preventive oral healthcare programs.
