Introdução: A saúde oral é elemento fundamental para o estado geral da saúde e bemestar
do ser humano. No entanto, os indivíduos portadores de deficiência intelectual,
devido às suas limitações apresentam uma maior probabilidade em apresentar problemas
orais.
Objetivos: O presente estudo visa comparar a saúde oral de uma população adulta com
deficiência intelectual com uma sem deficiência intelectual e analisar de que forma a
saúde oral afeta a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi efetuado um estudo observacional descritivo transversal a uma
amostra de 240 indivíduos com idades compreendidas entre os 18-61 anos, realizado
através do questionário sociodemográfico e de saúde oral, inquérito OHIP-14 e exame
clínico orientado pelo COHI, COCNI e COPI.
Resultados: No exame intraoral, foi possível verificar que mais de metade da população
apresentava problemas orais com impacto severo na saúde e 85% elevada necessidade de
educação e prevenção em saúde oral. Relativamente ao impacto da saúde oral na
qualidade de vida, as dimensões com mais impacto são: “2.dor física” e “3.desconforto
psicológico”. O uso de prótese, os problemas orais e a necessidade de cuidados também
apresentam impacto na qualidade de vida. Os hábitos de higiene oral da população
portadora de deficiência intelectual são muito inferiores aos verificados na população sem
deficiência intelectual, apresentando consequentemente, os indivíduos portadores de
deficiência intelectual uma pior saúde oral.
Conclusão: Tendo em conta a elevada prevalência de problemas a nível da cavidade oral
observada no estudo, assim como o seu forte impacto na qualidade de vida, o incentivo à
prática de uma correta higiene oral, assim como a consciencialização da importância da
saúde oral tornam-se de extrema importância. Por outro lado, como na população
portadora de deficiência os problemas de saúde oral apresentam uma maior prevalência,
a formação específica dos profissionais de saúde para esta população, o desempenho
correto do papel do cuidador e a implementação de programas públicos de saúde oral é
essencial para melhorar significativamente os baixos níveis de saúde oral e qualidade de
vida destes pacientes.
Introduction: Oral health is a fundamental element for the general health and well-being of the human being. However, individuals with intellectual disabilities are more likely to present oral problems. Objectives: This study aims to compare the oral health of an adult population with intellectual disability with one other with an intellectual disability, analyzing how oral health affects the quality of life of individuals. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out on a sample of 240 individuals aged between 18 and 61 years old, using the sociodemographic and oral health questionnaire, OHIP-14 survey, and a clinical examination guided by COHI, COCNI and COPI. Results: In the intraoral examination, it was possible to notice that more than half of the population had oral problems with severe impact on health and 85% had high need for oral health education and prevention. Regarding the impact of oral health on quality of life, the dimensions with a greater impact are: "2. physical pain” and "3. psychological discomfort". The use of prostheses, oral problems and the need for caring may also have an impact on the quality of life. The oral hygiene habits of the population with intellectual disabilities are much lower than those observed in the population without intellectual disability, and consequently, the population with intellectual disabilities have a poor oral health. Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of oral cavity problems observed in the study, as well as its strong impact on the quality of life, the incentive to practice a correct oral hygiene, as well as the awareness of the importance of oral health are of great importance. On the other hand, because the oral health problems are more prevalent in the population with disabilities, the specific training of health professionals for this population, the correct performance of the caregiver's role and the implementation of public oral health programs are essential for significantly improve the low levels of oral health and quality of life of these patients.
