Introdução: Existem variados estudos sobre a condição oral da população por-tuguesa. No entanto, é relevante particularizar esta temática aos pacientes que frequentam as Clínicas Universitárias, uma vez que se trata de uma população específica e sobre a qual os estudantes exercem a sua ação clínica.
Objetivos: O principal objetivo deste estudo é avaliar das necessidades tera-pêuticas, tendo como base a caracterização da condição de saúde oral da po-pulação que frequentou a Clínica Dentária Universitária do ICS-Viseu, no ano civil de 2018. Desta forma, pretende-se aferir e enquadrar os resultados obtidos nas três principais áreas clínicas que regem a Medicina Dentária: Reabilitação Oral, Medicina Dentária Conservadora e Cirurgia Oral.
Materiais e Métodos: O estudo epidemiológico transversal, tem como amostra as fichas clínicas dos pacientes que realizaram ortopantomografia na Clínica Universitária do ICS-Viseu, no ano civil de 2018. Foram observadas 995 fichas clínicas, das quais resultou uma amostra de 771 após a aplicação dos critérios de exclusão. Da ficha clínica de cada paciente recolheram-se dados demográfi-cos e gerais a da avaliação radiográfica obtivemos dados referentes à condição de saúde de cada dente individualmente. Os dados foram interpretados no soft-ware IBM SPSS Statistics®, para um nível de significância de 5%.
Resultados: A amostra obtida (n=771) é maioritariamente do sexo feminino com idade inferior a 65 anos. Na cavidade oral, e de uma forma geral, as situações mais problemáticas são identificadas no maxilar superior e nos setores posterio-res. Nas 3 áreas disciplinares abordadas, a pior condição dentária associa-se a pacientes do género feminino e de idade mais avançada.
Conclusões: A caraterização da condição dentária da população estudada per-mitiu determinar as necessidades de tratamento, tendo sido estas mais eviden-tes na Medicina Dentária Conservadora e na Reabilitação Oral. Conhecer essas necessidades permite-nos orientar a formação dos futuros Médicos Dentistas nesse sentido.
Introduction: There are several studies on the oral condition of the Portuguese population. However, it is relevant to understand better the needs of the patients who attend University Clinics, since it is a specific population on which the stu-dents carry out their clinical action. Aims: The main aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment needs, based on the oral health status characterization of the population that attended the Univer-sity Dental Clinic of ICS-Viseu, in the calendar year of 2018. In this way, we intend to measure and fit the results obtained in the three main clinical areas of Dental Medicine: Oral Rehabilitation, Conservative Dental Medicine and Oral Surgery. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional epidemiological study used the clinical files of the patients who performed orthopantomography at the University Clinic of ICS-Viseu, in the calendar year 2018. A total of 995 clinical files were observed, resulting in a sample of 771 after exclusion criteria application. From the clinical record of each patient we collected demographic and general data and from the radiographic evaluation we obtained data referring to each individual tooth health condition. The data were analysed in the IBM SPSS Statistics® soft-ware for a significance level of 5%. Results: The sample obtained (n = 771) is composed mostly by females under the age of 65. In the oral cavity, and in general, the most problematic situations are identified in the maxilla and in the posterior sectors. In the three disciplinary areas considered, the worst dental condition is associated with female patients and older age. Conclusions: The characterization of the oral health status of the study popula-tion allowed to determine the treatment needs, which were more evident in Con-servative Dental Medicine and Oral Rehabilitation. Knowing these needs enables a more efficient management of future Dentist’s training.
