OBJETIVO: Analisar as condições de saúde bucal de escolares de Caaporã-PB quanto à prevalência de cárie, alterações periodontais e qualidade de higiene oral. METODOLOGIA: Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 320 alunos distribuídos nas idades de 5, 12 e 15 a 19 anos com 62, 112 e 146 escolares, respectivamente. O nível de confi ança foi 95%, com 5% de margem de erro e amostragem selecionada de modo não aleatório. Utilizou-se os índices ceo-d e CPO-D (dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados), o Índice de Higiene Oral Simplifi cado (IHOS) e o Índice Periodontal Comunitário (IPC) para avaliar sangramento gengival e cálculo dentário. Efetuou-se análise descritiva e inferencial dos dados com teste Qui-quadrado (α=0,05). RESULTADOS: O ceo-d foi 3,69+4,71 aos 5 anos e 42,0% não tiveram experiência de cárie. O CPO-D obtido aos 12 e 15 a 19 anos foi, respectivamente, 2,44+2,60 e 3,73+3,28, sendo 20,6% e 17,1% livres de cárie. O IHOS apresentou mediana 1,16±0,51 e não houve diferença em relação à cárie (p>0,05). Verifi cou-se que 90,1% dos escolares que apresentaram sangramento gengival e 85,7% dos que apresentaram cálculo tinham CPO>1 (p<0,05). CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência da cárie foi considerada alta aos 5 anos, baixa aos 12 e média dos 15 aos 19 anos. A higiene oral foi classifi cada como regular, sendo mais defi ciente nas crianças de 5 anos. Houve associação (p<0,05) entre cárie e condições de sangramento gengival (RP=3,117; IC=1,332-7,296) e cálculo dentário (RP=1,983; IC=1,027-3,829). Esses resultados possibilitam o direcionamento das ações em saúde e, consequentemente, a obtenção de melhores condições bucais.
OBJECTIVE: Analyze the oral health conditions of Caaporã-PB students in the dental caries prevalence, periodontal changes and quality of oral hygiene. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A cross-sectional study with 320 students in the ages of 5, 12 and 15 to 19 years with 62, 112 and 146 students, respectively was conducted. The confidence level was 95%, with a 5% margin of error and the sample wasn’t randomly selected. The dmft and DMFT indices for decayed, missing and filled teeth, the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (SOHI), and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) to assess bleeding gingival and teeth calculus were employed. A descriptive and inferential analysis of the data with Chi-square test (α=0.05) was conducted. RESULTS: The dmft was 3.69+4.71 at 5 years and 42% hadn’t caries experience. The DMFT was obtained, respectively, 2.44+2.60 and 3.73+3.28 at 12 and 15 to 19 years, with 20.6% and 17.1% without caries experience. The median of SOHI was 1.16±0.51 and there wasn’t difference in relation to caries (p>0.05). It was found that 90.1% of students with gum bleeding and 85.7% with teeth calculus had DMFT>1 (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The caries prevalence was considered high at 5 years, low to 12 and mean at 15 to 19 years. Oral hygiene was classified as regular, being more deficient in children of 5 years. There was association (p<0.05) between decay and gum bleeding conditions (OR=3.117, CI=1.332-7.296) and dental calculus (OR=1.983, CI=1.027-3.829). These results allow the directing of health actions and therefore obtain better oral conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
