Resumo: | Halitosis is a condition with a multifactorial etiology, popularly known as an unpleasant smell that is exhaled through the oral and nasal cavity. The objective of this work is to evaluate the level of knowledge of undergraduates and graduate students about the definition of halitosis, treatment and diagnosis of the different types that exist. The methodology used consists of a cross-sectional study through an online questionnaire, where data are extracted that make it possible to identify whether students have adequate knowledge about the diagnosis, causes and possible treatments for halitosis. A literature review was carried out for theoretical knowledge and preparation of the electronic questionnaire. After analyzing the data, it was observed that 74% of the participants were female. Among the results found, it is possible to highlight: 74% considered halitosis a disease, 65% claim to know how to diagnose halitosis. Regarding the causes of halitosis: 60% answered that it is oral origin, 41% physiological, 51% pathological and systemic, 43% checked all the options, and 51% answered it had multifactorial causes. About the best forms of treatment: 79% considered the option of oral hygiene and the use of dental floss, and avoiding foods such as onions and garlic, 57% think there are devices for diagnosing halitosis, and 86% assume that saliva compromises bad breath. It can be said that halitosis is a condition that affects thousands of people worldwide, and although many dentistry students believe they know about the subject, through research, a lack of scientific knowledge on the subject was verified, requiring new actions to improve the information. |

El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado sobre la definición de halitosis, tratamiento y diagnóstico de los diferentes tipos que existen. La metodología utilizada consiste en un estudio transversal a través de un cuestionario online, donde se extraen datos que permiten identificar si los estudiantes tienen un conocimiento adecuado sobre el diagnóstico, las causas y los posibles tratamientos de la halitosis. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura para el conocimiento teórico y elaboración del cuestionario electrónico. Después de analizar los datos, se observó que el 74% de los participantes eran mujeres. Entre los resultados encontrados, podemos destacar: el 74% consideraba la halitosis una enfermedad, el 65% afirma saber diagnosticar la halitosis. En cuanto a las causas de la halitosis: 60% respondió que son de origen oral, 41% fisiológicas, 51% patológicas y sistémicas, 43% marcaron todas las opciones y 51% dijeron tener causas multifactoriales. Sobre las mejores formas de tratamiento: el 79% consideró la opción de la higiene bucal y el uso de hilo dental, y evitar alimentos como la cebolla y el ajo, el 57% piensa que existen dispositivos para el diagnóstico de halitosis, y el 86% asume que la saliva compromete el mal aliento. Se puede decir que la halitosis es una condición que afecta a miles de personas en todo el mundo, y aunque muchos estudiantes de odontología creen conocer el tema, a través de la investigación se verificó una falta de conocimiento científico sobre el tema, requiriendo nuevas acciones para mejorar la información.A halitose é uma condição de etiologia multifatorial conhecida popularmente como um odor desagradável que é exalado pela cavidade oral e nasal. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o nível de conhecimento de graduandos e pós graduandos, sobre a definição de halitose, tratamento e diagnóstico dos diferentes tipos existentes. A metodologia utilizada constitui-se de um estudo transversal através de um questionário on-line, onde são extraídos dados que possibilitem identificar se os discentes têm conhecimento adequado sobre o diagnóstico, causas e possíveis tratamentos da halitose. Observou-se, após a análise dos dados, que 74% dos participantes eram do sexo feminino. Dentre os resultados encontrados, podemos destacar: 74% considerou a halitose uma doença, 65% afirmam saber diagnosticar a halitose. Em relação às causas da halitose: 60% responderam que são de origem bucais, 41% fisiológicas, 51% patológicas e sistêmicas, 43% assinalaram todas as opções, e 51% disseram ser de causas multifatoriais. Sobre as melhores formas de tratamento: 79% considerou a opção de higiene bucal e o uso de fio dental, e de evitar alimentos como cebola e alho, 57% acham que existe aparelhos para o diagnóstico de halitose, e 86% pressupõem que a saliva compromete o mau hálito. Pode-se afirmar que a halitose é uma condição que afeta milhares de pessoas mundialmente, e apesar de muitos discentes de Odontologia acreditarem que sabem sobre o assunto, através da pesquisa, foi verificado uma falta de conhecimento científico sobre o mesmo, necessitando de novas ações para melhora nas informações.Research, Society and Development2021-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2170710.33448/rsd-v10i13.21707Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 13; e429101321707Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 13; e429101321707Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 13; e4291013217072525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/21707/19066Copyright (c) 2021 Anna Clara da Silva Dias; Juliana Cristina Ribeiro; Marcelo Dias Moreira de Assis Costa; Victor da Mota Martins; Cláudia Maria de Oliveira Andrade; Lia Dietrichhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDias, Anna Clara da SilvaRibeiro, Juliana Cristina Costa, Marcelo Dias Moreira de Assis Martins, Victor da MotaAndrade, Cláudia Maria de OliveiraDietrich, Lia2021-11-21T18:26:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21707Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:41:04.063274Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
