Introdução: A doença cárie dentária ainda representa uma das doenças mais
comuns na infância, com impactos significativos nas crianças e suas famílias,
podendo levar à perda precoce do dente. As doenças orais afetam grande
parte da população, influenciam os níveis de saúde, bem-estar e qualidade de
vida. São necessárias medidas mais eficazes que se apliquem às crianças, e
abrangendo o seu contexto psicossocial, familiar e social.
Material e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal com
uma amostra de 32 crianças nas famílias apoiadas pela Cáritas Diocesana de
Viseu e que estudam no Agrupamento de Escolas Infante D. Henrique, com
idades iguais ou inferiores a 12 anos. As recolhas dos dados foram realizadas
através questionários validados em português e exame clínico odontológico,
para verificar se o problema oral tem impacto na qualidade de vida da criança e
da sua família.
Resultados: Para n=32, a idade média foi de 7,72 anos, com predominância
do género masculino com 53,17% e moradoras em 44,75% em aldeia, do
distrito de Viseu, onde 50% não escova ou escova os dentes uma vez ao dia,
87,5% não tem o hábito de usar fio dentário. E nos últimos 12 meses, 65,6%
não foram ou nunca foram a consulta com Médico Dentista. CPOD=4,87, com
a prevalência de 87,5% das crianças examinadas com problemas orais. O
impacto da saúde oral na qualidade de vida das crianças e sua repercussão na
família através dos domínios abordados pelo instrumento ECOHIS, 90,62%
tiveram alguma limitação provocada problemas orais. Angústia dos pais
provocada por problemas orais em seus filhos ocorreram 43,75% da amostra.
Conclusões: Avaliar famílias, principalmente famílias vulneráveis, permite
estabelecer um vínculo que melhora a proximidade com estas famílias. Assim,
se torna fundamental a proximidade com a comunidade para que possa
realizar uma melhor e mais adequada avaliação das suas reais necessidades.
Assim, sugerimos que novos estudos sejam realizados para que possa representar
melhor a comunidade aqui descrita, e que seja representativo de toda comunidade.
Introduction: Dental caries is still one of the most common diseases in childhood, with significant impacts on children and their families, which can lead to early tooth loss. Oral diseases affect a large part of the population, influence levels of health, well-being and quality of life. More effective measures are needed to apply to children, covering their psychosocial, family and social context. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with a sample of 32 children in families supported by Caritas Diocesana de Viseu and who study in the Grouping of Schools Infante D. Henrique, aged 12 years or less. Data collections were performed through questionnaires validated in Portuguese and dental clinical examination, to verify if the oral problem has an impact on the quality of life of the child and his/her family. Results: For n=32, the mean age was 7.72 years, with a predominance of males with 53.17% and residents in 44.75% in a village in Viseu district, where 50% do not brush or brush teeth once a day, 87.5% do not have the habit of using dental floss. And in the last 12 months, 65.6% were not or never were the consultation with dentist. DMFT=4.87, with a prevalence of 87.5% of children examined with oral problems. The impact of oral health on the quality of life of children and its repercussion on the family through the domains addressed by the ECOHIS instrument, 90.62% had some limitation caused by oral problems. Anguish of parents caused by oral problems in their children occurred 43.75% of the sample. Conclusions: Evaluating families, especially vulnerable families, allows establishing a bond that improves proximity to these families. Thus, it is essential to be close to the community so that it can perform a better and more appropriate assessment of its real needs. Thus, we suggest that further studies be conducted so that it can better represent the community described here, and that it is representative of the whole community.
