A fluorose dentária no Brasil: uma revisão crítica

Abstract: This paper discusses dental fluorosis as a relevant public health problem, using a review of epidemiological studies published in the last 10 years on the disease's prevalence, severity, and risk factors. The results suggest that there are already more cases than expected, although few studies refer to major severity. Thus, measures are needed for the prevention and surveillance of dental fluorosis.

“…Various studies measuring fluorosis have been carried out using the Dean index, or variations of the Dean and other indexes, 3,13,17,18,22 showing various discrepancies and limitations to the use. 21 New research has been developed out in order to establish new methodologies and protocols in epidemiological surveys, 23 aiming to improve diagnosis using photographs.…”

“…1,2 The majority of cases reported in the literature, including in Brazil, indicate mild or very mild occurrence of fluorosis which is, therefore, not considered to be a public health problem. 3,7,12,13 Dean 8 describes the most commonly used method of clinically and epidemiologically classifying dental fluorosis. At the end of the 1970s, increased knowledge of the histological and microscopic characteristics of dental fluorosis enabled new methods of classification to be developed, among them the Thylstrup and Fejerskov index, 24 the Tooth Surface Index of Fluorosis (TSIF), 15 and the fluorosis Risk Index.…”

“…Cangussu et al 5 , fizeram uma revisão crítica sobre fluorose dentária no Brasil e concluíram que ela constitui um relevante problema para a saúde bucal coletiva e que seriam necessários estudos epidemiológicos para acompanhar a tendência da prevalência e a severidade da doença. Constataram que as formas brandas são comuns onde há água de abastecimento público fluoretada; que é necessário a vigilância das proporções de flúor na água de consumo; que a quantidade máxima permitida em águas minerais, bebidas enlatadas, refrigerantes, sucos e chás devem ser regulamentadas e apresentadas em rótulos.…”

“…Levantamentos mostrando o declínio na cárie dentária têm revelado que a fluorose começa a surgir. Em revi-são crítica, Cangussu et al 9 discutem esse distúrbio como um relevante problema de Saúde Coletiva. Para os autores, embora com poucos casos de severidade, os resultados sugerem freqüências mais altas do que as esperadas, sendo necessárias medidas de vigilância à saúde bucal.…”
