Introdução: O edentulismo é uma questão de saúde pública que atinge milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. Consiste na perda de todos os dentes permanentes naturais e pode acontecer por vários fatores. Objetivos: Os principais objetivos são: Caraterizar a condição oral e a ausência de peças dentárias em pacientes que realizaram ortopantomografia na Clínica Universitária do ICS - Viseu entre janeiro e dezembro de 2017; Relacionar a perda dentária com a idade, com o género e com a condição de saúde geral (ASA). Materiais e Métodos: Este estudo epidemiológico transversal teve como população alvo as fichas clínicas dos pacientes que realizaram ortopantomografia na Clínica Universitária do ICS-UCP no ano de 2017. Foram analisadas 668 fichas clínicas, que após critérios de exclusão (idade igual ou inferior a 15 anos) se refletiram numa amostra de 549 fichas. Recolheram-se dados referentes ao género, à idade, aos dentes ausentes, perdidos, cariados, restaurados e endodonciados. De acordo com as ausências dentárias as arcadas foram agrupadas pela classificação de Kennedy/Applegate. Os dados recolhidos foram introduzidos e analisados no software IBM SPSS Statistics® para um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Das 549 fichas observadas, 307 (55.9%) pertenciam a mulheres e 242 a homens (44.1%) com uma média de idade de 44.2 anos. A média de dentes ausentes por paciente é de 7.8 dentes. O tipo de desdentação mais frequente, tanto na maxila como na mandibula, é a classe III de Kennedy/Applegate. Não encontramos uma relação com significado estatístico entre a desdentação e o género (maxilar: p=0.318; mandibular: p=0.803). Mas conseguimos estabelecer essa relação com a idade (p=0.000). A maioria dos dentes endodonciados, restaurados, cariados e perdidos encontra-se no setor posterior. Conclusões: É importante caracterizar a desdentação dos pacientes que recorrem à Clínica Universitária para perceber as necessidades dos mesmos e melhorar os cuidados prestados.
Introduction: Edentulism is a public health issue that affects millions of people around the world. It consists of the loss of all natural permanent teeth and can happen by several factors. Goals: The main objectives are: To characterize the oral condition and the absence of dental pieces in patients who performed panoramic x-ray at the ICS - Viseu University Clinic between January and December 2017; Relate tooth loss to age, gender, and general health condition (ASA). Materials and methods : This cross-sectional epidemiological study had the clinical files of the patients who performed orthopantomography at the University Clinic of the ICS-UCP in 2017. A total of 668 clinical files were analyzed, which after the exclusion criteria (age equal to or less than 15 years) were reflected in a sample of 549. Data on gender, age, missing, lost, decayed, restored and endodontic teeth were collected. According to dental absences the arches were grouped by the Kennedy/Applegate classification. The collected data was inserted and analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics® software for a significance level of 5%. Results: Of the 549 clinical files observed, 307 (55.9%) were women and 242 were men (44.1%), with a mean age of 44.2 years. The mean number of missing teeth per patient is 7.8 teeth. The most common type of edentulous, both in the maxilla and mandible, is Kennedy/Applegate class III. We did not find a relation with statistical significance between edentulism and gender (maxillary: p=0.318; mandibular: p=0.803). But we were able to establish this relationship with age (p=0.000). Most of the endodontic, restored, decayed and lost teeth are found in the posterior sector. Conclusions: It is important to characterize the lack of teeth of patients who go the University Clinic to understand their needs and improve oral care.
