Prevalência de cárie e indicadores de risco em crianças de 2 a 6 anos na clínica de odontologia preventiva - UFPB
Abstract
O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a prevalência e os possíveis indicadores de risco para a cárie dentária em crianças de 2 a 6 anos na Clínica de Odontologia Preventiva da UFPB. Os dados foram coletados a partir de 150 fichas dos prontuários de 2002 a 2004. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: crianças sem cárie (ceo-d = 0, N = 60) e crianças com cárie (ceo-d > 0, N = 90). Os exames foram realizados em ambiente clínico com iluminação artificial, ar comprimido, sonda WHO e espelho bucal plano. Foram utilizados os critérios de diagnóstico do SB Brasil (Brasil, 2000). Dois examinadores previamente calibrados com índice Kappa inter-examinador e intra-examinadores acima de 0,86. e re-exame de 10% da amostra. Os dados foram analisados no SPSS v.10.0, submetidos ao testes estatísticos do qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher. A prevalência de cárie aumentou conforme a idade. A maior média de ceo-d foi aos 4 anos (ceo-d = 4,0 ± 4,71). Os dentes mais afetados foram os incisivos superiores e molares inferiores. Em relação aos indicadores, a freqüência de escovação (p < 0,05) e a presença de mancha branca ativa (p < 0,01) apresentaram associação com a doença cárie dentária (ceo). Os resultados sugerem que freqüência de escovação e presença de mancha branca ativa são indicadores de risco para a cárie dentária na população estudada.
UNITERMOS: cárie dentária; prevenção primária; ceo-d.
SUMMARY
The aim of this work was to verify the prevalence and the possible indicator of risk for the dental caries in children of 2 the 6 years in the Clinic of Preventive Dentistry of the UFPB. The data had been collected from 150 fiches of 2002 handbooks the 2004. The sample was divided in two groups: children without caries (dmft = 0, N = 60) and children with caries (dmft > 0, N = 90). The examinations had been carried through in clinical environment with artificial illumination, compressed air, sounding lead WHO and plain buccal mirror. The criteria of diagnosis of the SB Brazil had been used (Brazil, 2000). Two examiners previously calibrated with Kappa index (Inter-examiner and intra-examiners above 0,86) and had reexamined about 10% of the sample. The data had been analyzed in the SPSS v.10.0, submitted to the statistical tests of significant the accurate of Fisher. The prevalence of caries increased as the age. The average greater of dmft was to the 4 years (dmft = 4,0 ± 4.71). The affected teeth more had been the incisors superior and molar inferiors. In relation the indicators, the frequency of brushing (p < 0,05) and the presence of active white spot (p < 0,01) had presented association with the illness dental caries. The results suggest that frequency of brushing and presence of active white spot are indicators of risk for the dental caries in the studied population.
UNITERMS: dental caries; primary prevention; dmft.
