Abstract

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os aspectos epidemiologicos e os fatores associados as condicoes de saude bucal em residentes no municipio de Vere, Parana, Brasil, 2005. Para tanto foram analisados dados referentes a carie dentaria, a doenca periodontal, a perda dentaria e ao uso e a necessidade de protese. Realizaram-se exames epidemiologicos em 733 pessoas de diferentes faixas etarias, nas escolas e domicilios, de acordo com os criterios preconizados pela Organizacao Mundial da Saude e pelo Projeto SB2000. Utilizaram-se os testes Mann-Whitney e Exato de Fisher (a=5%). Na faixa etaria de 18 a 36 meses e aos 5 anos de idade a prevalencia de carie foi de 22,86% e de 80,99%, o ceo-d medio foi 1,34 e 5,34 respectivamente. O ceo-d foi mais elevado em criancas de 18 a 36 meses nao brancas (p=0.0120) e nas de 5 anos nao brancas (p=0.0076) e ainda nas de classes economicas menos favorecidas (p=0.0256), residentes na area rural (p=0.0056) e em local sem fluoretacao das aguas de abastecimento publico. Foram fatores associados a carie dentaria a etnia na idade de 18 a 36 meses e a classificacao economica e localizacao geografica aos 5 anos. Nas idades de 12 e 15 a 19 anos, as prevalencias de carie foram 73,24% e 89,23% respectivamente. O CPO-D foi 2,70 e 5,16, sendo esse indice mais elevado aos 12 anos nas classes economicas menos favorecidas (p=0.0024), em residentes na area rural (p=0.0132) e em local sem agua fluoretada (p=0.0487). Nessa idade a classe economica foi fator associado a carie dentaria. Nos adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos o CPO-D foi mais elevado em pertencentes as classes economicas menos favorecidas (p=0.0041), residentes na area rural (p=0.0001) e em local sem fluoretacao das aguas de abastecimento (p=0.0003), sendo a localizacao geografica o unico fator associado a carie dentaria.

The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological aspects and factors related to oral conditions of residents in the city of Verê-Paraná, Brazil, 2005. The analyzed data were referent to dental caries, periodontal disease, dental loss, the use and need for prosthesis. Epidemiological exams were carried out in 733 people from different age groups, at school and at home, according to criteria recognized by the World Health Organization and SB2000 project. The Mann- Whitney's and Fisher Exact's tests were used (a=5%). In the age groups of 18 to 36 months old and 5 years of age, the caries prevalence was 22.86% and 80.99%; the dmf-t mean was 1.34 and 5.34 respectively. The dmf-t was higher in children between 18 and 36 months, not white (p=0.0120) and in 5 year-old children not white (p=0.0076) and still, in the ones belonging to low socioeconomic class (p=0.0256), rural area residents (p=0.0056) and at places without public water fluoridation. Factors related to dental caries in 18 to 36 months-old children were ethnics and economic classification, and geographic location for the 5 year-old groups. In the ages of 12 and 15 to 19, the caries prevalence was 73.24 and 89.23 respectively. The DMF-T was 2.70 and 5.16. This index was higher in the low socioeconomic group of 12 year-olds (p=0.0024), in rural area residents (p=0.0132) and at places without public water fluoridation (p=0.0487). The socioeconomic classification was the factor related to dental caries in this city. In the adolescents of 15 to 19 years of age the DMF-T was higher in individuals belonging to low socioeconomic class (p=0.0041), rural area residents (p=0.0001) and at places without public water fluoridation (p= 0.0003), geographic location was the only factor related to dental caries ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
