Resumo: This article aims to verify the use of dental services, oral health self-perception, and the impacts of oral health on the daily lives of transgender people. A controlled cross-sectional study was conducted in which transvestites, transsexuals, and transgender people were compared to cisgender people. For data collection, the oral health self-perception questionnaire was applied to 90 people, from which 45 were cisgender and 45 were transgender. There were no differences regarding access to dental services. The data analysis revealed that transgender people perceive their teeth to cause nervousness (p=0.002) and shame (p=0.033), respectively 3.8 and 5.0 times higher than that observed for cisgender people. Although differences in access were not observed, there was a difference in the perception of the need for treatment and the impacts of oral health. Therefore, it is important to consider that comprehensive care for the transgender population should go beyond the treatment of oral diseases and include aesthetic expectations as well.

Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo do tipo transversal com travestis, transexuais e transgêneros e os resultados foram comparados com um grupo controle formado por pessoas cisgênero. Foram entrevistadas 90 pessoas, sendo 45 pessoas transgênero e 45 pessoas cisgênero. Resultados: Não foram observadas diferenças no acesso aos serviços odontológicos. A análise de dados revelou que pessoas transgênero percebem que os dentes causam nervosismo (p=0,002) e vergonha (p=0,033), sendo respectivamente 3,8 e 5,0 vezes maior que o observado para pessoas cisgênero. Conclusões: Foi verificada uma diferença na percepção sobre a necessidade de tratamento e os impactos decorrentes da saúde bucal. Portanto, é importante considerar que o cuidado integral a população de transgêneros deve ir além do tratamento das doenças bucais, incluindo expectativas estéticas.EDUFU2021-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/5579410.14393/BJ-v37n0a2021-55794Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 37 (2021): Continuous Publication; e37003Bioscience Journal ; v. 37 (2021): Continuous Publication; e370031981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/55794/30843Brazil; ContemporaryCopyright (c) 2021 Sara Gomes Prates, Romulo Dias Jesuíno, Luiz Renato Paranhos, Álex Moreira Herval, Liliane Parreira Tannús Gontijohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPrates, Sara Gomes Jesuíno, Romulo DiasParanhos, Luiz Renato Herval, Álex MoreiraGontijo, Liliane Parreira Tannús 2022-05-25T16:59:22Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/55794Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2022-05-25T16:59:22Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
