RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o risco de cárie em indivíduos com Síndrome de Down (SD) utilizando o Software Cariogram®, associando aos indicadores salivares. Participaram do estudo 124 pacientes, entre 6-52 anos, 62 indivíduos SD e 62 indivíduos controles sem a síndrome. Foram recolhidos dados sobre dieta, uso de flúor, pH salivar, capacidade tampão e contagem de Streptococcus mutans. Os resultados mostraram que os indivíduos SD apresentaram maior índice de placa, capacidade tampão e fluxo salivar reduzidos. A hipossalivação mostrou uma associação moderada com índice CPOD e índice de placa. Na análise Cariogram® verificou-se alto risco de cárie nestes pacientes, e dada a importância e facilidade deste método de diagnóstico, sugerimos que seu uso seja ampliado como uma ferramenta importante para facilitar o controle da cárie em indivíduos SD.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to analyze the caries risk in Down Syndrome individuals (SD) using the Cariogram® software and salivary parameters. We considered a sample of 124 patients aged 6-52 years, 62 with SD and 62 without the syndrome (controls). Data were also collected on diet, use of fluoride, saliva pH, buffer capacity and Streptococcus mutans count. The results were that the SD patients had a higher plaque index, lower buffering capacity and reduced salivary flow. A higher prevalence of hyposalivation, showing a moderate association with DMFT and plaque index. In the Cariogram® analysis we found a high risk of caries in these patients, and given the importance and ease of this method of diagnosis, we suggest that its use be established as an important tool in facilitating the control of caries in Down syndrome individuals.
