Introdução: A Odontopediatria é um ramo da Medicina Dentária que se encarrega do estudo,
prevenção e tratamento da saúde oral das crianças, desde bebés até a adolescência. A atuação do
Médico Dentista Odontopediátra deve centrar-se não apenas no tratamento, mas sim na estipulação
de um correto diagnóstico, na prevenção e na interceção das potenciais anomalias e más oclusões
detetadas.
Objetivos: O objetivo desta investigação foi caracterizar a população pediátrica que frequenta a
Clínica Dentária Universitária da Universidade Católica Portuguesa de Viseu, entre os 6 e os 18 anos
de idade. Avaliar as radiografias panorâmicas existentes nos processos dos doentes da Clínica
Dentária Universitária e determinar as anomalias dentárias de número detetáveis radiograficamente
que ocorrem mais frequentemente na população pediátrica, bem como a dentição e o dente mais
afetado.
Métodos: Analisar as fichas clínicas dos pacientes e as radiografias panorâmicas dos doentes da
Clínica Dentária Universitária da Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade Católica
Portuguesa de Viseu. Qualquer informação concernente à identificação dos pacientes foi mantida
confidencial através de um processo de anonimização.
Resultados: Relativamente à caracterização da população selecionada a maioria dos pacientes faz a
primeira consulta após os 5 anos de idade e por norma é realizada apenas uma consulta por doente.
Dos 352 pacientes selecionados, 87 não apresentam radiografia panorâmica no processo e 10
apresentam radiografias panorâmicas insatisfatórias para análise. Nas radiografias panorâmicas
estudadas, 24 pacientes (9.4%) apresentavam anomalias dentárias de número. Destes 24 pacientes,
19 apresentavam agenesias (7,45%) e 5 apresentavam dentes supranumerários (1,96%). Apenas a
dentição permanente foi afetada por agenesias. Os dentes mais afetados por agenesias foram os
segundos pré-molares inferiores. O supranumerário mais frequente foi o mesiodente.
Conclusão: A monitorização da erupção e do desenvolvimento da dentição temporária, mista e
definitiva é uma componente fundamental para uma boa saúde oral dos doentes pediátricos
Introduction: Pediatric Dentistry is a branch of Medical Dentistry which involves the study, prevention, and treatment of oral health in children, from newborns to adolescence. Pediatric Dentist must focus, not only on treating, but on the development of a correct diagnosis, on prevention and interlinking of potential anomalies and bad occlusions that are detected. Objective: Characterize the pediatric population which comes to the University Dental Clinic of the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the Portuguese Catholic University of Viseu, surrounding ages between 6 and 18 years. Analyze the Panoramic radiography present in the medical records of patients and determine the dental anomalies which are detectable radiographically and occur frequently in this pediatric population, as well as the dentition and teeth which are affected more frequently. Methods: Assay medical records and Panoramic radiography of Patients from the University Dental Clinic of the Faculty of Dental Medicine of the Portuguese Catholic University of Viseu. Any information related to the identification of pacients was kept confidential by the process of anonymity. Results: Regarding the characterization of the population, most patients have their first appointment after reaching the age of 5, having only one appointment per patient. Of a total of 352 selected patients, 87 did not have a Panoramic radiography on their medical records, 10 had Panoramic radiography but were unsatisfactory, preventing analysis. In the Panoramic radiography that were studied, 24 patients (9.4%) presented dental anomalies of number. Of the 24 patients, 19 had agenesis (7,45%) and 5 supernumerary teeth (1,96%). Only those with permanent dentition were affected by agenesis. The most affected teeth by agenesis were the 2nd mandibular premolar. The most frequent supernumerary tooth was the mesial tooth. Conclusion: The monitoring of teeth eruption and development of temporary, mixed and permanent dentition is a fundamental component for good oral health in pediatric patients.
