ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the oral health status of Brazilian workers of a textile industry. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 489 individuals of both sexes was performed. Data on gender, age, schooling, frequency of dentist visits and caries experience (DMFT) were collected by a single trained and calibrated examiner. Data were organized using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software and presented through descriptive and inferential statistics (Poisson Regression Analysis). The significance level was 5%. Results: There was predominance of female workers (57.7%) aged 30-39 years (44.6%) and with 9-11 years of schooling (79.7%). Almost all of them had visited the dentist at least once in their lifetime (99.6%), and 66.8% had done so in the last 12 months. The mean DMFT value was 11.14 (± 5.64), with higher participation of filled (6.21) and missing components (4.03). There was a statistically significant association between DMFT values (≤ 11 and ≥ 12) and age group (p <0.001), as well as between schooling and number of missing (p <0.001) and decayed teeth (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The mean DMFT of Brazilian workers is high, with a tendency to increase the number of missing teeth as age increases. Schooling was associated with the number of missing and filled teeth.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a saúde bucal de trabalhadores atendidos no Núcleo de saúde ocupacional de Campina Grande/PB. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal com uma amostra do tipo probabilística de 341 indivíduos, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 35 e 44 anos. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma ficha clínica, abordando os dados sócio-demográficos e aspectos clínicos sobre as condições de saúde bucal (índices CPO e CPI) sobre o uso e necessidade de prótese dentária. O exame foi realizado por um único examinador. Os dados foram analisados pelo Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)versão 13, os resultados apresentados por estatística descritiva. Resultados: Verificou-se predomínio do sexo masculino (91,8%) e da faixa etária de 35 a 37 anos (51,6%). O valor médio do CPOD foi de 15,5, com predomínio do componente cariado (9,7). As prevalências de sangramento gengival, cálculo dentário e bolsas profundas foram de 9,7%, 34,0% e 10,0%, respectivamente. Dos examinados, 80,1% necessitavam de algum tipo de prótese. Em relação ao uso de prótese, 31,7% usavam no arco superior e 4,4% no inferior. Conclusão: Diante dessa realidade torna-se necessário o desenvolvimento de programas de atenção à saúde bucal em adultos, a fim de diminuir os danos causados e prevenir a continuidade da tendência à perda dentária.
