Higiene oral sustentável

eficácia e satisfação na utilização de pastilhas dentífricas fluoretadas - estudo piloto
Authors: Simões, Raquel Sofia Pereira;

Higiene oral sustentável

Abstract

Introdução: Com o aumento da intensidade das alterações climáticas e a sobre-exploração dos recursos naturais, é urgente a mudança de atitudes em prol de um planeta mais verde. A sustentabilidade na higiene oral deve ser uma preocupação, mantendo a qualidade e eficácia dos produtos escolhidos, para uma boa saúde oral. No mercado existem diversos formatos de dentífricos sustentáveis como é o caso das pastilhas, à base de ingredientes naturais e com menor pegada de carbono para o ambiente. Objetivo: Avaliar as pastilhas dentífricas fluoretadas DENTTABS®, quanto ao seu efeito na saúde oral, bem como a satisfação e motivação do consumidor na sua utilização. Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo clínico aleatorizado cruzado, com dois grupos de participantes, em que cada grupo foi exposto a ambas as intervenções: 14 dias de uso do dentífrico habitual e 14 dias de uso das pastilhas dentífricas. Ao fim de cada 14 dias foi preenchido um questionário sobre a sua satisfação de utilização e foram avaliados os índices gengivais (índice percentual de hemorragia e índice gengival de Löe & Silness) e de placa (índice percentual de placa e índice de placa de Löe & Silness). Os dados foram analisados no software SPSS® versão 27, considerando o nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: No estudo participaram 39 pacientes. Ambos os dentífricos demonstraram ser eficazes na redução de gengivite e da placa bacteriana, não tendo sido encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dentífricos quando avaliada a sua eficácia. A satisfação e a autopercepção da motivação do uso pastilhas dentífricas foi semelhante ao dentífrico habitual, não apresentando influência nos índices de saúde oral. Conclusão: As pastilhas dentífricas apresentam uma eficácia idêntica na redução dos índices de saúde oral, comparativamente aos dentífricos, assim como na satisfação e na autopercepção de motivação da sua utilização.

Introduction: With the increasing intensity of climate change and the over-exploitation of natural resources, it is urgent to change attitudes in favor of a greener planet. Sustainability in oral hygiene should be a concern, maintaining the quality and effectiveness of the chosen products, for a good oral health. There are several formats of sustainable toothpastes on the market, as is the case with toothpaste tabs, based on natural ingredients and with a lower carbon footprint. Objective: To evaluate DENTTABS® fluoride toothpaste tabs, regarding their effect on oral health, as well as consumer satisfaction and motivation in their use. Methodology: A randomized crossover clinical study was carried out, with two groups of participants, in which each group was exposed to both interventions: 14 days of regular toothpaste use and 14 days of toothpaste tabs use. At the end of every 14 days, a questionnaire was filled out about user satisfaction and the gingival index (percentage bleeding index and Löe & Silness gingival index) and plaque index (percentage plaque index and Löe & Silness plaque index) were evaluated. Data was analyzed using SPSS® version 27 software, considering a significance level of 0.05. Results: 39 patients participated in the study. Both toothpastes were shown to be effective in reducing gingivitis and plaque, and no statistically significant differences were found between the toothpastes when evaluating their effectiveness. Satisfaction and self-perception of motivation to use toothpaste tabs was similar to the usual toothpaste, with no influence on oral health indices. Conclusion: Toothpaste tabs are equally effective in reducing oral health rates compared to toothpastes, as well as in satisfaction and self-perception of motivation for their use.
