Resumo: Purpose: To evaluate oral conditions in visually impaired individuals at the Paraíba Institute of the Blind. Methods: This observational and transversal study analyzed 80 users of the institute. Participants were given a clinical evaluation encompassing DMFT (index of decayed, missing and filled teeth), SOHI (Simplified Oral Hygiene Index) and SPR (Simplified Periodontal Registry) and the occurrence of oral manifestations. Results: The DMFT index showed that the group is large and more expressive in adult age. The Oral Hygiene Index indicated a deficiency in this group. The most frequent periodontal finding was gingivitis, but children exhibited a healthy periodontium. Oral manifestations and a significant number of injuries to the anterior teeth were also observed, including gingival hyperplasia, severe dental crowding, aphthous ulcerations, bottle caries, fistula, fissured tongue, dental erosion and marked gum recession. Conclusion: The studied population seems to show an increase in the DMFT index with age. Poor oral hygiene may be present due to the lack of visualization of the act of brushing. Gingivitis is the most prevalent periodontal condition, indicating the need for programs to encourage the promotion of oral health. Key words: Individuals with visual impairments; diagnosis; clinical pathology

Key words: Individuals with visual impairments; diagnosis; clinical pathologyObjetivo: Avaliar a condição bucal e a ocorrência de manifestações orais em deficientes visuais assistidos no Instituto dos Cegos da Paraíba, Brazil, uma vez que estes usualmente associam a cavidade bucal apenas ao seu aspecto funcional. Metodologia: Estudo observacional e transversal. A amostra foi constituída por 80 usuários do referido instituto, os quais foram examinados clinicamente, avaliando-se os índices CPOD, SOHI (Índice de Higiene Oral), SPR bem como a ocorrência de manifestações bucais. Resultados: O índice CPOD mostrou-se elevado e mais expressivo na faixa etária adulta. O SOHI apresentou-se deficiente. A condição periodontal mais frequentemente encontrada foi a gengivite, porém as crianças exibiram um periodonto saudável. Quanto às manifestações orais, além de um número expressivo de traumatismos em dentes anteriores, também foram observados: hiperplasia gengival, apinhamento dentário severo, ulcerações aftosas, cáries de mamadeira, fistula, língua fissurada, desgastes dentários acentuados e recessão gengival. Conclusão: A população em estudo parece exibir um caráter cumulativo associando-se o índice CPOD ao fator idade; higiene oral deficiente, podendo esta ser justificada pela falta de visualização do ato de escovação; e gengivite como condição periodontal mais frequente, indicando a necessidade de programas de incentivo à promoção de saúde bucal.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2009-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleobservational; cross-sectionalapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/5182Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 24 No. 4 (2009); 354 - 360Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 24 n. 4 (2009); 354 - 3601980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/5182/4774Maciel, Miliani do Amaral SouzaCordeiro, Priscila Monteirod’Ávila, SérgioGodoy, Gustavo PinaAlves, Rubiane DiógenesLins, Ruthinéia Diógenes Alves Uchôainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T12:57:32Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/5182Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T12:57:32Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
