ABSTRACT

Parasite infections are frequent in Brazil during pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to assess the knowledge about parasite infections among pregnant and post-partum women, attending a public University Hospital in Niteroi, RJ, Brazil. Knowledge was assessed using a standardized interview and questionnaire. A total of 100 interviews were conducted (60 pregnant and 40 post-partum women). Educational achievement did not influence knowledge about parasites. The majority of the women interviewed stated that they habitually always washed hands after using the bathroom and before eating. Consumption of fruits and vegetables was prevalent, but 17% did not wash them before eating and 39% ate raw or undercooked meat. Educational achievement and number of pregnancies did not influence hygiene habits. Neither the late pre-natal care nor the number of pregnancies influenced knowledge about parasites. Also, there was no correlation between the initial date of pre-natal care and the number of correct answers in the questionnaire. Similarly, there was no association between the initial date of pre-natal care and receiving information about parasite infections. 79% of the women interviewed stated that they had never received any information about parasite infection and pregnancy, and the harm it could cause to them and/or their baby. Despite advances in pre-natal care assistance in the last decade, the lack of knowledge among pregnant and post-partum women regarding parasites and risk factors for infection still remains.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os relacionamentos ântero-posteriores dos segundos molares e incisivos decíduos em crianças com hábito de sucção de chupeta. Três cirurgiões-dentistas examinaram 561 crianças na faixa etária dos 3 aos 6 anos para a classificação das relações dos segundos molares e a mensuração da sobressaliência. Das 336 crianças incluídas na amostra, 246 apresentavam histórico de sucção de chupeta e foram distribuídas em três grupos experimentais de acordo com a persistência do hábito: até os 2 anos de idade, dos 2 aos 4 anos e dos 4 aos 6 anos de idade. As 90 crianças com ausência de hábitos de sucção formaram o grupo controle. Os grupos foram comparados, segundo as características oclusais avaliadas, por meio do teste Qui-Quadrado (p < 0,05). A prevalência de degrau mesial foi significativamente mais baixa nas crianças que mantiveram o hábito de sucção dos 4 aos 6 anos de idade. Não houve diferenças significativas entre os grupos para os valores de prevalência do degrau distal, embora essa relação tenha sido diagnosticada com maior freqüência nas crianças succionadoras. Por outro lado, a sobressaliência aumentada foi mais prevalente nos grupos experimentais (30,4, 29,3 e 43,0%, respectivamente) quando comparados ao grupo controle (22,2%). Em crianças com hábito de sucção persistente além dos 4 anos de idade, observou-se uma freqüência significativamente maior de sobressaliência aumentada em comparação ao grupo controle.


This research aimed the evaluation of the anteroposterior relationships of the primary second molars and incisors in pacifier users. Three dentists performed clinical examinations in 561 children at 3 to 6 years of age to record the relationships of the primary second molars, as well as to measure the amount of overjet. Out of the 336 children selected, 246 had a history of pacifier use and were assigned to three experimental groups according to the persistence of their pacifier habits: until 2 years of age, from 2 to 4 years of age, and from 4 to 6 years of age. The control group was composed by 90 children who were habit-free. The groups were compared according to the occlusal traits assessed, through the chi-square test (p < 0.05). The prevalence of mesial step was significantly lower in children who sustained their pacifier habits from 4 to 6 years of age. There were no significant differences between groups concerning the prevalence of distal step, although this relationship had been more frequently diagnosed in pacifier users. On the other hand, increased overjet was more prevalent in the experimental groups (30.4, 29.3, and 43.0%, respectively) compared with the control group (22.2%). There was a significantly higher frequency of increased overjet in comparison to the control group, in children who sustained their pacifier habits beyond 4 years of age.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O presente trabalho verificou a associação entre a exposição aos hábitos de sucção de chupeta e o relacionamento sagital entre os arcos dentários decíduos, considerando-se a relação canino. Método: Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico transversal, de caráter descritivo, em escolas da rede pública da cidade de São Paulo. Três cirurgiões-dentistas previamente calibrados examinaram 561 crianças de 3 a 6 anos de idade. As crianças com hábito de sucção de chupeta foram distribuídas em três grupos experimentais, de acordo com a idade de persistência do hábito: até os 2 anos de idade (Grupo I), dos 2 aos 4 anos de idade (Grupo II) e dos 4 aos 6 anos de idade (Grupo III). Noventa crianças com ausência de hábitos de sucção constituíram o Grupo- controle. Calcularam-se, para cada grupo, as prevalências em porcentagem das diferentes relações sagitais interarcos e os dados obtidos foram comparados pelo teste do Qui-Quadrado (p<0,05). Resultados: Existiu uma tendência de a prevalência da má oclusão de Classe I diminuir e da Classe II aumentar à medida que se aumenta o tempo de exposição aos hábitos de sucção de chupeta. Não se observou associação entre sucção de chupeta e a prevalência da relação de Classe III entre os arcos dentários decíduos. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que os hábitos de sucção de chupeta representam fatores ambientais contribuintes no estabelecimento da má oclusão de Classe II entre os arcos dentários decíduos, principalmente quando persistem além dos 2 anos de idade.


Introduction: This study verified the association between the exposure to pacifier sucking habits and the sagittal interarch relationship in the deciduous dentition, considering the canine relation. Method: In this regard, a transversal epidemiological evaluation was conducted in public schools of the city of São Paulo. Three previously calibrated surgeon dentists performed clinical examinations in 561 children of 3 to 6 years of age. Children with pacifier sucking habits were assigned to three experimental groups according to the age of habit persistence: until 2 years of age (Group I), from 2 to 4 years of age (Group II), and from 4 to 6 years of age (Graup III). The control group comprised 90 children who were habit-free. The prevalences of different sagittal interarch relationship were calculated in percentages, and data were analyzed by the chi-square test (p<0.05). Results: There was a tendency toward a lower prevalence of Class I malocclusion, and a greater prevalence of Class II malocclusion as the period of exposure to sucking habits increased. There was no association between pacifier habits and Class lII prevalence. Conclusion: It was concluded that pacifier sucking habits represent environmental factors which contribute to interarch Class II relationship establishment in the deciduous dentition, mainly when it persists beyond 2 years of age.
