Resumo: | Purpose: To evaluate an educative and oral health promotion program for children from three public daycare facilities in the city of João Pessoa (PB), in the Northeastern region of Brazil. Methods: Sample was composed of 219 children who were divided into four age groups: 0 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36 and 37 to 48 months. All children were submitted to clinical exams and preventive procedures of hygiene and topical application of fluoride at 3-month intervals during 12 months. Mothers were given instructions of oral hygiene of their children. The dmft index and the presence of active white spots (AWS) were recorded. Results: Mean (SD) values of the initial and final dmft were 0.65 (1.3) and 0.72 (1.5), respectively (P < 0.05). The initial and final numbers of AWS were 44 and 08, respectively. The absence of nocturnal hygiene was associated with AWS for children that received nocturnal breast-feeding. The most relevant variables for dental caries development were: age group, absence of nocturnal oral hygiene and nocturnal breast-feeding; for AWS only the absence of nocturnal oral hygiene was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This oral health program showed to be effective in the maintenance of oral health. The most relevant risk factors for dental caries were absence of nocturnal oral hygiene and nocturnal breast-feeding. |

Metodologia: A amostra foi constituída de 219 crianças de 0 a 48 meses divididas em quatro grupos etários: 0 a 12; 13 a 24; 25 a 36 e 37 a 48 meses. As crianças foram submetidas a exames clínicos e procedimentos preventivos de higiene bucal e aplicação tópica de flúor em intervalos trimestrais durante 12 meses. As mães das crianças receberam instrução de higiene. Registraram-se os índices de ceo-d e presença de manchas brancas ativas (MBA). Resultados: As médias (desvio-padrão) do ceo-d inicial e final foram de 0,65 (1,3) e 0,72 (1,5) respectivamente (P < 0,05). O número de MBAs inicial e final foi 44 e 08, respectivamente. A ausência de higiene noturna foi associada a MBA para crianças que tomavam mamadeira noturna. As variáveis relevantes para o surgimento de cárie foram a faixa etária, ausência de higiene noturna e amamentação noturna; para MBA somente a falta de higiene noturna foi significativa. Conclusão: O programa mostrou-se eficaz na manutenção da saúde bucal. Os fatores de risco mais relevantes para a cárie dentária foram falta de higiene e amamentação noturna.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2010-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleprospectiveprospectivoapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/7117Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 25 No. 4 (2010); 350 - 354Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 25 n. 4 (2010); 350 - 3541980-65230102-9460reponame: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/7117/5980Siqueira, Maria de Fátima Gabínio deJardim, Maria Carmen de Araújo MeloSampaio, Fábio CorreiaVasconcelos, Laurylene César de SouzaVasconcelos, Laís César deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T12:21:40Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/7117Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T12:21:40Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
