Background: Intubation is necessary during critical situations to reduce the risk of death. In Brazil, a need exists to determine the prevalence of tooth avulsions in emergency and urgent care. The objective of this study was to identify the causes of orotracheal intubation (OTI), the number of tooth avulsions, and the avulsed teeth that result from urgent and emergency intubation. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 116 patients (total group) in intensive care units (ICUs) distributed across Group 1 (G1), which was composed of 71 patients from an urgent-care hospital, and Group 2 (G2), which was composed of 45 patients from an emergency hospital. Clinical examinations showed dental alveolus with signs of recent exodontia in the upper and lower anterior regions. Sociodemographic data and the reason for intubation were evaluated. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test, and univariate logistic regression were performed with a significance level of 5%. Results: The avulsion prevalence was 4.3%, with more cases receiving emergency intubation (n=4). All avulsions occurred in adults, and a significant difference (p=0.011) was observed with regard to the elderly. A 1-year reduction in age increased the chance of tooth avulsion during intubation by 1.09 times; being female increased the chance by 2.88 times. Conclusion: Pulmonary problems were the major causes of intubation, with the highest tooth avulsion prevalence observed during emergency intubation. The avulsed teeth were 11, 12, 13, 22, 32, and 33 across all cases.
Resumo Introdução Lesões dentárias por trauma constituem experiências angustiantes em crianças, que promovem alterações tanto físicas quanto emocionais e psicológicas. Objetivo Avaliar a prevalência de traumatismos dentários em pacientes com distúrbio neuropsicomotor e comparar a indivíduos normorreativos. Material e método Avaliaram-se 120 indivíduos, sendo 60 com alterações neuropsicomotoras (grupo de estudo) e 60 normorreativos (grupo controle), de ambos os sexos, de 2 a 15 anos de idade, assistidos na Fundação de Apoio ao Deficiente do Governo do Estado da Paraíba. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário estruturado e exame clínico. Foi realizada análise descritiva e inferencial (teste t-student; teste Exato de Fisher), adotando-se um nível de significância de 5%. Resultado A prevalência de traumatismos dentários observada em pacientes com distúrbio neuropsicomotor foi de 20,0%, enquanto que no grupo controle foi de 16,6% (p>0,05); no grupo controle a ocorrência foi maior no sexo masculino. Os grupos diferiram quanto ao tipo de atividade no momento do trauma (p<0,05) em relação à etiologia (p<0,05) e em relação ao local de ocorrência (p<0,05). Para ambos os grupos, os dentes mais afetados foram os incisivos centrais superiores. As fraturas de esmalte, seguidas pelas de esmalte e dentina sem exposição pulpar foram as lesões mais comuns nos dois grupos. Conclusão A prevalência de traumatismos dentários em indivíduos com alteração neuropsicomotora é similar à de indivíduos normorreativos, com maior ocorrência no sexo feminino, em fase anterior à adolescência, durante atividades de rotina.
