“…The caries prevalence found (82.6%) is similar to those of the Santa Cruz Province in Argentina (77.3% at the age of 18) 2 , of Salvador, BA, Brazil (65.1% at the age of 15) 6 and of Florianópolis, SC, Brazil (81% at the age of 18) 9 . All of these observations were high, mainly when compared to the findings of Kelly et al 10 (2000) in the United Kingdom, which indicated a caries prevalence of 51% and a mean DMF-T index of 1.6 among individuals 16 to 24 years of age.…”

ABSTRACT:The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and severity of dental caries as well as the needs for dental treatment in 18-year-old males from Maringá, PR, Brazil. The association of dental caries experience with socioeconomic variables was also tested. A cross sectional study was conducted in a random sample of 241 conscripts of the Brazilian Army. The adopted diagnosis criteria were those proposed by the World Health Organization. A socioeconomic questionnaire was utilized to determine family income and the criterion of the Brazil Economic Classification of the National Association of Research Enterprises. Associations among caries prevalence, DMF-T index, treatment needs and socioeconomic variables were evaluated by means of the Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Caries prevalence was 82.6% and the mean DMF-T index was 4.6. Only a mean of 0.8 tooth per individual presented treatment needs. Significant statistical differences were found in caries prevalence and severity (DMF-T). The worst results were observed in the groups of lower income and purchasing power, indicating a need for the implementation of social policies that address these populations aiming at diminishing the existing differences in the health-disease process indicators. On the other hand, treatment needs were only associated to the Brazil Economic Classification Criterion variable (p < 0.05). DESCRIPTORS: Dental caries; Epidemiology; DMF index; Social conditions. RESUMO: O objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer a prevalência e a severidade da cárie dentária, bem como as necessidades de tratamento odontológico de jovens de 18 anos de idade do sexo masculino em Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. A associação da experiência de cárie com variáveis socioeconômicas também foi testada. Foi realizado um estudo transversal em uma amostra aleatória de conscritos (n = 241) do Exército Brasileiro. Os critérios de diagnóstico adotados foram aqueles estabelecidos pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. Foram utilizados um questionário socioeconômico para aferir a renda familiar e o Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil da Associação Nacional de Empresas de Pesquisa. Associações entre a prevalência de cárie, o índice CPO-D, a necessidade de tratamento e as variáveis socioeconômicas foram avaliadas por meio dos testes Qui-quadrado, Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. A prevalência de cárie foi de 82,6% e o índice CPO-D médio foi igual a 4,6. Apenas 0,8 dente por indivíduo, em média, apresentou-se com necessidade de tratamento. Diferenças estatisticamente significativas foram encontradas na prevalência e na severidade de cárie (CPO-D), sendo os piores indicadores verificados nos grupos de baixa renda e baixo poder aquisitivo, indicando a necessidade de implantação de políticas sociais que contemplem essas populações, com o intuito de diminuir o diferencial nos indicadores do processo saúde-doença. Por outro lado, as necessidades de tratamento associaram-se somente à variável Critério de Classificação Econô-mica Brasil (p < 0,05). D...

The relationship between mother and child in the context of oral health has traditionally been exposed by the scientific literature in microbiology, which lacks a broad and necessary discussion of health and illness seen as processes, both biological and social. ObjectiveInvestigate the family social determinants associated with the caries history of children and the need for dental treatment (NDT) among their mothers was the objective of this study. Material and methodsThis research employed a cross-sectional study of mother-child pairs living in southern Brazil. Data collection occurred in public institutions of early childhood education. The instruments included a structured questionnaire administered to mothers and clinical oral examinations of the mothers and children. The social variables considered were marital status, maternal education, number of children, income, employment status, and frequency of visits to a dental professional. The measured outcomes were the maternal NDT and child caries history. Data were analyzed by the chi-square test (χ2) and by discriminant analysis. ResultsThe final sample consisted of 272 mother-child pairs and it was found that the greatest need for treatment was among mothers with low educational level and low family income who rarely or never visited a dentist. Tooth decay was less frequent in only child, and most frequent in children of mothers with low educational attainment, and in children in lower income households who rarely or never visited the dentist. The social determinants of caries in children and of the maternal NDT were similar. It follows that the maternal NDT and caries history among children were strongly associated with maternal education (p<0.0001), household income (p<0.0001), and frequency of visits to a dental professional (0.0018). Caries history among children was also associated with number of children in the household (p<0.0001).ConclusionsThe results suggest that the caries experience in children depended less on the family social variables than on the maternal NDT.

“…No caso do Brasil, no período de 1986 a 2003, esta redução foi de 58,2% no valor do CPOD aos 12 anos de idade (BRASIL,1988;BRASIL, 2001). Vários outros estudos também têm relatado melhoria das condições de saúde bucal (TRAEBERT et al, 2001;TRAE-BERT et al, 2002;CANGUSSU et al, 2002;GOMES et al, 2004).…”

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram verificar a atividade de cárie, além de conhecer a prevalência de cárie e fluorose e as necessidades de tratamento em escolares de 12 anos de idade do município de Paulínia. Foram examinadas 413 crianças, de escolas públicas e particulares de Paulínia, São Paulo, em 2004, selecionadas mediante processo amostral aleatório sistemático. Para medir a experiência de cárie, necessidades de tratamento e fluorose dentária adotou-se os critérios da OMS (1997). Para a atividade de cárie, optou-se por uma simplificação dos critérios de diagnóstico de Nyvad et al. (1999). Os índices utilizados para cárie dentária foram: CPOD e Significant Caries Index (SiC). Os livres de cárie representaram 60,8% dos escolares. O CPOD foi de 0,9 (IC95%=0,8-1,1). O maior componente do CPOD foi o obturado (52,3%) seguido pelo componente cariado (47,2%). Nas crianças que apresentaram atividade de cárie o CPOD foi de 1,37 (IC95%=1,1-1,7) e nas sem atividade de cárie o CPOD foi de 0,57 (IC95%=0,4-0,7) (p
