RESUMO
O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a disponibilidade e o custo de produtos para higiene bucal, dentre eles, dentifrícios, escovas e fios/fitas dentais, em uma amostra de supermercados localizados no município de Cascavel, PR. Foram visitados doze grandes supermercados, pertencentes a diferentes redes, localizados em vários bairros da cidade, no período de 2004 a 2006. Os dados relativos à disponibilidade de diferentes marcas, tipos e preços de cada produto foram anotados em ficha clínica específica. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. A disponibilidade média de escovas de dente, dentifrícios e fio/fita dental nas lojas do centro e outros bairros foi de 20/22, 39/37 e 45/34, em 2004, de 41/44, 50/47 e 48/47, em 2005, e de 7/7, 12/11 e 11/9, em 2006. É importante que os profissionais da área odontológica avaliem esses aspectos quando recomendarem a aquisição desses produtos para indivíduos com diferentes níveis socioeconômicos, a fim de promover a universalização de práticas preventivas em saúde bucal.
