Abstract(s)
Os indicadores de saúde oral em Portugal encontram-se muito abaixo da média europeia (Lourenço & Barros, 2016). Diferentes fontes de informação apontam para uma mesma realidade: a existência de necessidades de cuidados de saúde oral, de diferentes naturezas, que não se encontram satisfeitas (European Union Satistics on Income and Living Conditions [EU-SILC], 2013). Percebendo-se que os portugueses afirmam ter bons hábitos de higiene oral, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à escovagem de dentes (Ordem dos Médicos Dentistas [OMD], 2017), importa entender as temáticas da falta de dentes e rotinas de visitas ao médico dentista, entre outras.
Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é o de apresentar uma revisão sistemática da literatura e uma revisão da literatura cinzenta, que visam reunir estudos relevantes e informações, que caracterizem os níveis de literacia em saúde oral na população portuguesa.
A pesquisa foi efetuada no Portal B-ON (Biblioteca do Conhecimento On-Line) e em literatura cinzenta relevante para a área em questão, entre 2013 e 2018. O projeto que assenta na análise de 3 estudos empíricos e 6 publicações relevantes na área, demonstra que existe uma estreita relação entre condições socioeconómicas e culturais e o nível de saúde oral das pessoas e que alguns indicadores de saúde oral (escovagem regular, visitas ao médico dentista) estão associados a melhores níveis de literacia.
Estas conclusões são importantes, na medida em que permitem a definição de orientações para a estruturação de programas de promoção da literacia em saúde oral em Portugal.
Oral health indicators in Portugal are far below in comparison to the European average (Lourenço & Barros, 2016). Different sources of information point to the same reality: the existence of oral health care needs, of different natures, that are unsatisfactory (European Union Satistics on Income and Living Conditions [EU-SILC], 2013). Realizing that the Portuguese claim to have good oral hygiene habits, especially in relation to teeth brushing (Ordem dos Médicos Dentistas [OMD], 2017), it is important to understand the gap of teeth loss and routines that includes visits to the dentist, among others. Thus, the aim of this project is to perform a systematic review of the literature and also a review of the gray literature to gather relevant information and studies that characterize the levels of oral health literacy in the portuguese population. The research was carried out in the Portal B-ON (Library of Knowledge Online) and in gray literature relevant to the area in question, between 2013 and 2018. The project, based on the analysis of 3 empirical studies and 6 relevant publications in the field, shows that there is a close relationship between socioeconomic and cultural conditions and people's oral health level and that some oral health indicators (regular brushing, visits to the doctor dentist) are associated with better levels of literacy. These conclusions are important, since they allow the definition of guidelines for the structuring of programs to promote oral health literacy in Portugal.
