Abstract

Introdução: As doenças orais, particularmente a cárie dentária e a doença periodontal, são patologias que podem ser prevenidas através de bons hábitos de higiene e de uma alimentação cuidada. A prevenção primária é um conjunto de ações que visam remover os fatores causais, promovendo a saúde e a proteção específica. Já a proteção secundária visa identificar o que está errado e colocar o indivíduo na condição de saudável. Objetivo: Realizar a sensibilização das crianças e dos cuidadores para a saúde oral, otimizando hábitos de higiene e colmatando desta forma lacunas ao nível da prevenção primária. Proceder à realização dos atos clínicos necessários às crianças identificadas como tendo indicação para tal, suprindo falhas do foro da prevenção secundária. Material e Métodos: Neste estudo foram incluídas todas as crianças institucionalizadas em Viseu. Foi preenchida uma ficha clínica com realização de pesagem e medição, efetuou-se observação intraoral e foi ainda calculado o índice CPOD. Resultados: Das 100 crianças incluídas, 55 eram do género masculino. A idade média da amostra situa-se em 12,21 +/- 4,41 anos, (1-18 anos) e 70% estavam com peso normal para a idade. 56% das crianças afirmavam ter problemas de saúde e 68% tomavam medicação (pedo)psiquiátrica sendo que, a idade que mais toma medicação, é a partir dos 15 anos. Todas as crianças diziam escovar os dentes diariamente e 55,6% higienizava a língua. Contudo apenas 1% referia usar fio dentário e é de ressalvar que todas as crianças que afirmavam higienizar os dentes diziam fazê-lo sem supervisão. A média do índice CPOD foi de 3,43 +/- 3,58 e 56% das crianças estavam em classe I molar. Conclusões: É de suma importância e de responsabilidade social que os cuidados fornecidos a estes menores sejam redobrados para que possam crescer saudáveis a todos os níveis. Logo, é necessário implementar medidas de prevenção e estratégias de promoção de saúde oral para as crianças que residem em instituições tuteladas pelo Estado, bem como para as pessoas que as auxiliam no seu dia-a-dia

Introduction: Dental caries and periodontal disease can be prevented with good higiene habits and healthy food. Actions that remove the causal effects promoting health are called primary prevention. Secundary prevention is the identification of what is wrong and reestablish the individual in a healthy condition. Objective: Raise children and caregivers the awareness for oral health, optimizing hygiene habits thus filling gaps in primary prevention and carry out the necessary clinical acts for the identified children. Supplying failures of the secondary prevention. Materials and Methods: In this study were included all institutionalized children in Viseu. A clinical record was completed, intraoral observation was performed and the DMFT Index was filled and children were weighted and measured. Results: Of the 100 children included, 55 were male. The sample average age of the was 12.21 +/- 4.41 years (1-18 years) and 70% were with normal weight. 56% of children said they had health problems and 68% were taking psychiatric: more prevalente in children older than 15 years old. All children reported brushing their teeth daily, 55.6% sanitazed their tongue. However, only 1% reported using dental floss. It’s important to note that all children who claimed to clean their teeth said they did it without supervision. The average DMFT index was 3.43 +/- 3.58 and 56% of the children were in molar class I. Conclusions: It is of paramount importance and social responsibility that care provided to these minors are redoubled so that they can grow up healthy. Therefore, it is necessary to implement preventive measures and promote oral health for children residing in supervised state institutions, as well as for the people who assist them in their day-to-day lives.
