Introdução: O conhecimento insuficiente sobre os hábitos de higiene por parte
dos responsáveis das crianças irá gerar uma carência a nível de higiene oral e
dos hábitos dessas mesmas crianças. É essencial informar e sensibilizar os pais
sobre quais serão os melhores hábitos quer de higiene oral pediátrica quer no
âmbito geral de saúde das crianças.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um inquérito a 100 responsáveis dos
pacientes de odontopediatria da Clínica Universitária da Faculdade de Medicina
Dentária da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, durante o período de setembro
de 2021 e maio de 2022. Os resultados foram analisados com o programa SPSS
versão 28 para Windows.
Resultados: Face à amostra que conseguimos obter (79,0%) dos pais eram do
género feminino, de idades compreendidas entre 25-40 anos (54,0%) e tinham
habilitações literárias ao nível do 10º-12º ano. (44%). Em 80% dos casos foi a
mãe que respondeu ao questionário. Em relação aos bebés/crianças, a maioria
era do género feminino (58%) de idade superior a 6 anos (47%). Em relação à
escovagem, os progenitores com o ensino superior escovam significativamente
mais os dentes após o pequeno-almoço (p=0,018) e ainda, escovam também de
forma estatisticamente significativa mais os dentes antes de ir dormir (p=0,008).
No que diz respeito a Cárie Precoce de Infância, apenas 43% dos pais sabe da
sua existência. No que concerne aos hábitos das crianças, uma alta
percentagem não usa chupeta atualmente (90%) e mais de metade usou no
passado (62%).
Conclusão: A literacia dos pais impacta de forma significativa os seus cuidados
de higiene oral e que as mulheres apresentam melhores hábitos de higiene oral
que os homens, facto que seria expectável, relativamente ao que conhecemos
da literatura.
Introduction: Insufficient knowledge about hygiene habits on the part of those responsible for the children will generate a lack of oral hygiene and habits of these same children. It is essential to inform and make parents aware of what the best habits are, both in pediatric oral hygiene and in the general health of their children. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted on 100 caregivers of pediatric dentistry patients at the University Clinic of the College Dental Medicine at Universidade Católica Portuguesa during the time between September 2021 and May 2022.The results were analyzed with SPSS version 28 for Windows. Results: In the sample we were able to obtain (79.0%) of the parents were female, aged 25-40 years old (54.0%), and had 10th-12th grade education (44%). In 80% of the cases it was the mother who answered the questionnaire. Regarding infants/children, the majority were female (58%) and over 6 years old (47%). Regarding brushing, parents with higher education brushed their teeth significantly more after breakfast (p=0.018) and also brushed statistically significantly more before going to bed (p=0.008). Regarding Early Childhood Caries, only 43% of the parents know of its existence. Regarding the children's habits, a high percentage does not use a pacifier currently (90%) and more than half used one in the past (62%). Conclusion: Parents' literacy significantly impacts their oral hygiene care and that women have better oral hygiene habits than men, which is to be expected, relative to what we know from the literature.
