Resumo: | Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of dental caries among adolescents from a poor metropolitan region of the Brazilian Amazon, and to identify the independent socioeconomic variables of access to dental services, oral hygiene habits, and self-perception of oral health. Method: The sample comprised 178 adolescents aged from 15 to 19 year-old, enrolled in schools in the Eastern zone of the city of Manaus, AM, Brazil. Primary data were collected using a standardized questionnaire and clinical examination. Result: The prevalence of dental caries was 92.7%, and the mean DMF-T index was 5.16 (SD: 0.28). The average number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth was 4.4, 0.87, and 0.75, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found between DMF-T index and per capita household income. Most adolescents declared that they had had an appointment with a dentist at least once in their lifetime, had sought the public service, and that pain was the predominant reason for consultation. The perception of oral health of the majority was good/excellent. Conclusion: The data suggest lack of restorative dental treatment and high prevalence of dental caries in this socially disadvantaged sample, which evidences the need to implement strategies to improve delivery of oral health care. Key words: Oral health; epidemiology; dental caries |

Key words: Oral health; epidemiology; dental cariesObjetivo: Estimar a prevalência de cárie em adolescentes, escolares de uma região metropolitana de Manaus, Brasil, identificando variáveis independentes socioeconômicas, de acesso a serviço odontológico, hábitos de higiene oral e autopercepção da saúde bucal. Metodologia: Foram investigados 178 escolares de 15 a 19 anos, matriculados nas escolas da zona leste da cidade de Manaus, AM, Brasil. Foram coletados dados primários por meio de questionário e exame clínico. Resultado: A prevalência de cárie foi 92,7% e a média do índice CPO-D foi de 5,16 (desvio-padrão: 0,28). A média de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados foi de 4,4; 0,87 e 0,75, respectivamente. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre CPO-D e renda domiciliar per capita. A maioria dos adolescentes declarou já ter ido ao dentista pelo menos uma vez na vida e ter procurado o serviço público, sendo a dor o motivo predominante para a consulta. A percepção da saúde bucal da maioria foi boa/ótima. Conclusão: Os dados obtidos sugerem carência de tratamento odontológico restaurador e prevalência preocupante sobre dentes perdidos por cárie dentária, evidenciando necessidade de implantação de estratégias de atenção à saúde bucal, considerando a realidade desta população em desvantagem socioeconômica.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2009-07-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articlecross-sectional; surveyapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/4451Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 24 No. 4 (2009); 349 - 353Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 24 n. 4 (2009); 349 - 3531980-65230102-9460reponame: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/4451/4773Fonseca, Thaissa Gabrielle GióiaLopes, Márcia CristinaRebelo Vieira, Janete MariaParente, Rosana Cristina PereiraRebelo, Maria Augusta Bessainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T12:57:32Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/4451Revistahttps://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 |
