Resumo: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis in all schoolchildren (ages 4 to 18 years, n = 259) from the town of Santa Tereza, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and to investigate associated factors. Data were obtained through a questionnaire and by means of clinical tests. Dean's index was used to determine fluorosis occurrence. Prevalence of fluorosis was 63.7%. The predominant category was very mild (43.6%), followed by mild (12.0%), moderate (7.7%), borderline (7.3%), and severe (0.4%). Approximately 85.0% of the schoolchildren currently have, or have had, access to other topical sources of fluoride. Significant associations were found between place of residence and previous or ongoing fluoride mouth rinsing and prevalence and severity of fluorosis (p < 0.05). There was also a significant association between dental fluorosis and parents' level of schooling, frequency of brushing teeth, fluoride rinsing, and use of fluoride gel (p < 0.05).

Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário e de um exame clínico. Para a determinação da fluorose, foi utilizado o índice de Dean. A prevalência de fluorose foi de 63,7%. O grau predominante foi o muito leve (43,6%), seguido pelo grau leve (12,0%), moderado (7,7%), questionável (7,3%) e severo (0,4%). Cerca de 85,0% dos escolares apresentaram acesso atual ou passado a formas tópicas de utilização do flúor. Associações significativas foram encontradas entre local de moradia, prática atual ou passada de bochechos fluoretados e a prevalência/severidade de fluorose, como também entre a prevalência de fluorose e o nível de escolaridade dos pais dos escolares, freqüência de escovação, acesso a bochechos fluoretados e uso do flúor gel (p < 0,05).Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2005-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2461Reports in Public Health; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2005): March/AprilCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 21 n. 2 (2005): Março/Abril1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2461/4932https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/2461/4933Toassi, Ramona Fernanda CeriottiAbegg, Claídesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:02Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/2461Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:53.079163Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
