Abstract(s)
O edentulismo parcial caracteriza-se pela ausência de um ou mais dentes, é encarado não como uma doença, mas como um agravamento da saúde oral. Os estudos epidemiológicos mostram que o edentulismo parcial é a forma mais frequente de perda dentária e se encontra presente em 80% da população.
Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a prevalência das perdas dentárias parciais e a sua relação com as variáveis, género, idade, higiene oral diária, estudar a relação entre perda dentária e hábitos de higiene oral, e ainda fatores de risco como o tabagismo e doença sistémica (diabetes), nos utentes observados na Clínica Pedagógica de Medicina Dentária da Faculdade Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, ano letivo 2010-2011.
Foi realizado um estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal, utilizando processos clínicos e radiográficos de 881 utentes com 15 a 60 anos de idade, e que nunca foram utilizados em outros estudos desta temática, com o devido consentimento informado.
A prevalência do edentulismo parcial no total da amostra foi de 81,6%, sendo superior no género feminino, localizado em 60,3% no terço posterior esquerdo da mandíbula. Em relação às faixas etárias, a prevalência do edentulismo foi equitativa. Verificou-se que a frequência de higiene oral diária está relacionada com o género (p <0,001), sendo os homens os que mais referem não escovar ou escovar até uma vez por dia, e as mulheres associadas a escovarem 2 ou 3 vezes por dia. A percentagem de homens que não usa fio dentário (82,6%) é significativamente superior à de mulheres que não o usa (68,9%), pelo que também se verifica que este hábito de higiene oral está associado ao género (p <0,001).
A frequência de higiene oral diária e de utilização de fio dentário não está relacionada com a faixa etária (p> 0,05 para ambas as comparações).
Os resultados mostram uma alta prevalência do edentulismo parcial, tanto em jovens como em adultos. Apesar do esforço do governo fazer programas de promoção de saúde oral, ainda existe um grande número de indivíduos com doenças orais que traem como consequência edentulismo parcial e precisam ser tratados.
Partial edentulism is characterized by the absence of one or more teeth; it is viewed not as an illness but as an aggravation of oral health. Epidemiological studies show that partial edentulism is the most frequent form of tooth loss and is present in 80% of the population. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of partial dental loss and its relationship with covariables as gender, age, daily oral hygiene, study the relationship between dental loss and oral hygiene habits, as well as risk factors such as smoking and systemic disease (diabetes) in the users observed in the Pediatric Dental Medicine Clinic of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Fernando Pessoa University, 2010-2011 school year. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out using the clinical and radiographic processes of 881 patients aged 15 to 60 years, who were never used in other studies of this subject, with due informed consent. The prevalence of partial edentulism in the total sample was 81.6%, superior in the female gender, located in 60.3% in the posterior left third of the mandible. In relation to the age groups, the prevalence of edentulism was equitable. It was verified that the frequency of daily oral hygiene is gender-related (p <0.001), with most men reporting not brushing or brushing once a day, and the women brushing 2 or 3 times a day. The percentage of men who do not use dental floss (82.6%) is significantly higher than that of women who do not use it (68.9%), so it is also verified that this oral hygiene habit is associated with gender (p < 0.001). The frequency of daily oral hygiene and use of dental floss is not related to the age group (p> 0.05 for both comparisons). The results show a high prevalence of partial edentulism, both in young and in adults. Despite the government's efforts to promote oral health promotion programs, there are still many individuals with oral diseases that result in partial edentulism and in need to be treated.
