Levantamento epidemiológico de cárie dentária no município de Morrinhos do Sul (RS) e avaliação dos níveis de flúor nas fontes de água natural
Abstract
O presente estudo objetivou determinar o índice ceo/CPO-D em educandos de 05 a 14 anos de idade da rede pública de ensino do município de Morrinhos do Sul (RS), bem como avaliar se os níveis de flúor encontrados nas fontes de água natural consumidas pela população estavam em níveis considerados adequados para prevenção da doença cárie dentária. O índice ceo médio na faixa etária de 05 a 06 anos de idade foi de 5,47 (N = 36). O índice CPO-D médio encontrado dos 07 aos 11 anos de idade e aos 12 anos de idade foram, respectivamente: 3,38 (N = 132) e 7,44 (N = 9). Os níveis de flúor encontrados nas 5 fontes de água natural ficou na média de 0,13 mg/l. Verificou-se que o índice CPO-D avaliado apresentou-se aumentado comparativamente aos valores preconizados pela OMS aos 12 anos de idade. Além disso, constatou- se que os níveis de flúor nos poços estão muito baixos para promoverem prevenção da doença cárie dentária.
UNITERMOS: cárie dentária; levantamento epidemiológico; níveis de fluoreto.
SUMMARY
The present study aimed to determine ceo/CPO-D indexes in 05 to 14 years old students of public teaching schools of Morrinhos do Sul district (RS), due to evaluate if fluoride levels founded in natural water sources consumed by the population were in suitable levels to prevent caries. The ceo average index from 05 to 06 years old was 5,47 (N = 36). The CPO-D average index founded from 07 to 11 years-old and 12 years old were, respectively: 3,38 (N = 132) and 7,44 (N = 09). The fluoride levels average founded in five different sources of natural water was 0,13 mg/l. We found out that CPO-D index evaluated showed an increasing value comparatively that commended by OMS for 12 years-old. Moreover, we verified reduced fluoride levels in the wells to cause prevention of caries.
UNITERMS: caries; epidemiological investigation; fluoride levels.
