Abstract(s)
Introdução: De acordo com a WHO, estima-se que as doenças orais afetem
cerca de 3,5 mil milhões de pessoas globalmente, sendo que a presença de cárie
em dentes permanentes é a condição mais comum, com 2,3 mil milhões de
pessoas afetadas. Mais de 530 milhões de crianças têm lesões de cárie em
dentes decíduos, cerca de metade da população pediátrica mundial. A doença
cárie inflige uma elevada carga financeira para a sociedade, devido à sua
enorme prevalência. O melhor tratamento é a prevenção e, sendo a escovagem
o método principal de prevenção da cárie dentária, é importante utilizar uma
escova adequada e eficaz na remoção da placa bacteriana.
Objetivos: Agregar e analisar toda a informação existente na literatura que,
comparando uma escova manual com uma escova elétrica, avalie a eficácia da
remoção da placa bacteriana na população pediátrica, com o objetivo de adequar
o melhor método de prevenção às necessidades do indivíduo e do
progenitor/cuidador.
Materiais e Métodos: Este estudo foi desenvolvido de acordo com as diretrizes
atuais que integram as Guidelines e checklists PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). Tendo por base a questão de
investigação (PICO) e os objetivos definidos anteriormente, estabeleceram-se
estratégias para a recolha de dados. “Quando comparada a escovagem (I), de
uma escova manual com uma escova elétrica (C), qual é mais eficaz na remoção
da placa bacteriana (O), na população pediátrica (P)?”
Resultados: Através da pesquisa inicial, com os termos e equações de
pesquisa, foram identificados 568 artigos, distribuídos da seguinte forma: 305 na
PubMed/Medline, 152 na Cochrane Library e 111 na Sci-Elo. Destes, pelo
processo de inclusão e exclusão, obtiveram-se 7 artigos eleitos para leitura
integral e posterior análise.
Conclusão: 6 artigos referem que a escovagem efetuada com escova elétrica é
mais eficaz quando comparada com a escovagem manual. Esta afirmação
abrange tanto a dentição decídua como a dentição mista, independentemente
de quem efetua a escovagem.
Introduction: According to the WHO, oral diseases are estimated to affect 3.5 billion people globally, with caries in permanent teeth being the most common condition, with 2.3 billion people affected. More than 530 million children have caries lesions in deciduous teeth, about half of the world's pediatric population. Caries disease inflicts a high financial burden on society because of its enormous prevalence. The best treatment is prevention, and since brushing is the primary method of preventing dental caries, it is important to use an appropriate and effective toothbrush to remove plaque. Objectives: To gather and analyze all the information in the literature that, comparing a manual toothbrush with an electric toothbrush, assess the effectiveness of plaque removal in the pediatric population, with the purpose of adapting the best prevention method to the needs of the individual and the parent/caregiver. Materials and Methods: This study was developed according to the current PRISMA Guidelines and Checklists (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). Based on the research question (PICO) and the objectives defined previously, strategies for data collection were established. "When comparing brushing (I), of a manual brush with an electric brush (C), which is more effective in removing plaque (O), in the pediatric population (P)?" Results: Through the initial search, with the search terms and equations, 568 articles were identified, distributed as follows: 305 in PubMed/Medline, 152 in Cochrane Library, and 111 in Sci-Elo. From these, by the process of inclusion and exclusion, 7 articles were selected for full reading. Conclusion: 6 articles stated that brushing with an electric toothbrush is more effective than manual brushing. This statement covers both the deciduous and mixed dentition, regardless of who performs the brushing.
