Resumo: | The inappropriate storage of toothbrushes generally is responsible for the transmission of microorganisms and diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the storage and preservation means of toothbrush used by preschool children. The study subjects consisted of 992 preschool children (45 classrooms of 13 public Child day care centers from Ponta Grossa-PR). The analysis of the storage means for toothbrush was carried through, considering the material used in the confection of the storage, the presence of identification on the brushes and individuality of the brushes inside the storage. The analysis was carried through by only one researcher. The results showed that in relation to storage means, 28.9% of the containers were made of plastic, 24.4% of fabric re-covered with plastic, 13.3% cardboard and 8.9% only fabric. In relation to preservation and identification, 73.3% of the toothbrushes were stored with others and in humid places, 31.1% did not present individual identification and in 32.3% the identification was unreadable. Moreover, 87.2% of these toothbrushes presented residues. It was concluded that the great part of the brushes had inadequate form of storage. The results of this study suggest that is necessary greater information to the educators regarding the storage, washing and drying of dental brushes of the preschool children. UNITERMS: toothbrushing; oral hygiene; child day care centers. |

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o modo de acondicionamento e as condições das escovas dentais de 992 pré-escolares (45 turmas de 13 centros municipais de educação infantil de Ponta Grossa-PR). O material empregado na confecção do recipiente de armazenamento das escovas, a presença ou não de identificação em cada uma, foram itens considerados. Essas avaliações foram realizadas por uma única examinadora previamente treinada. Os resultados mostraram que 28,9% dos recipientes eram de plástico, 24,4% de tecido recoberto com plástico, 13,3% de papelão e 8,9% somente de tecido. Quanto ao acondicionamento, verificou-se que: 73,3% das escovas eram armazenadas em conjunto e úmidas, 31,1% não apresentavam identificação e as 32,3% que possuiam estavam ilegíveis. Além disto, 87,2% dessas escovas apresentavam-se com resíduos.Concluiu-se que existe a necessidade de mais cuidados com esse instrumento de higiene e que os educadores devem ser orientados sobre o modo correto de acondicionar e identificar e também sobre a importância da lavagem e secagem das escovas dentárias dos pré-escolares.
