Introdução: A manutenção da saúde oral, obtida através da otimização de corretos hábitos de higiene oral e de uma alimentação saudável e equilibrada, é fundamental para prevenir o aparecimento de patologias orais, nomeadamente a cárie dentária. Deste modo, a existência de uma prevenção primária desempenha um papel crucial na saúde oral.
Objetivo: Caraterizar, segundo critérios de avaliação da saúde oral, a população de crianças e jovens acompanhadas pela Comissão de Proteção de Crianças e Jovens de Viseu (CPCJ) de forma a educar e informar as crianças e as suas famílias sobre a importância da saúde oral assim como das visitas continuadas ao Médico Dentista.
Material e Métodos: Este estudo é do tipo descritivo observacional transversal. Foram incluídas crianças acompanhados pela CPCJ de Viseu. Foi aplicada uma história clínica, realizou-se a observação clínica intraoral e foi calculado o índice cpod e/ou CPOD.
Resultados: Das 31 crianças incluídas, 18 eram do género masculino. A idade média da amostra situa-se em 11,10 +/- 4,34 anos, (3-17 anos). 39% (n=12) das crianças afirmavam ter problemas de saúde e 32% (n=10) tomavam medicação, sendo a medicação para a Perturbação de Hiperatividade / Défice de Atenção (PHDA) a de maior prevalência. A maioria das crianças dizia escovar os dentes diariamente e apenas 16% (n=4) referia usar fio dentário. No que se refere aos índices cpod e CPOD, obteve-se uma média de cpod de 3,41 +/-3,48 e uma média de CPOD de 5,00 +/- 6,09 e 53% das crianças estavam em classe I molar e 32% em classe I canina.
Conclusões: Este estudo visa a consciencialização das crianças e jovens acompanhados pela CPCJ de Viseu e seus os familiares para a importância da manutenção da saúde oral para o desenvolvimento do menor. Assim, é de elevada importância a necessidade de implementação de medidas de prevenção e também, o aumento dos cuidados de saúde oral que lhes são fornecidos.
Introduction: The maintenance of oral health, through the measurement of oral hygiene habits and a healthy and balanced diet, is fundamental to prevent the appearance of oral pathologies, namely dental caries. In this way, the existence of a fundamental intervention plays a crucial role in oral health. Objective: To characterize, according to oral health assessment criteria, the population of children and young people accompanied by the Commission for the Protection of Children and Young People of Viseu (CPCJ) in order to educate and inform children and their families about the importance of oral health as well as continued visits to the Dentist. Materials and Methods: This is a observational descriptive study. In this study, we included children accompanied by CPCJ de Viseu. A clinical history was applied and intraoral clinical observation was performed and the DMFT index. Results: Of the 31 children included, 18 were male. The mean age of the sample is 11.10 +/- 4.34 years, (3-17 years). 39% (n = 12) of the children claimed to have health problems and 32% (n = 10) took medication, the medication for Hyperactivity Disorder / Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) being the most prevalent. Most children reported brushing their teeth daily and only 16% (n = 4) reported using dental floss. Regarding the CPOD and cpod indices, an average cpod of 3.41 +/- 3.48 and an average of DMFT of 5.00 +/- 6.09 and 53% of the children were class I molar and 32% class I canine. Conclusions: This study aims to raise the awareness of children and young people and relatives accompanied by CPCJ de Viseu to the importance of maintaining oral health for the development of the child. Thus, the need to implement preventive measures and the increase of the oral health care provided to them is of high importance.
