RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar a saúde bucal de crianças que consomem refrigerantes e também conhecer as razões para o consumo excessivo dessas bebidas.

Método:

Um estudo de natureza transversal CAP (conhecimento, atitude e prática) com uma amostra de 200 crianças na faixa etária de 12-13 anos de idade foi realizado em Maharishi Markandeshwar International School, Mullana, Ambala, na Índia. Um questionário foi elaborado e distribuído para verificar as razões para o alto consumo de refrigerantes e os seus efeitos sobre a saúde bucal. Os dados coletados foram analisados estatisticamente.

Resultados:

Em média, as crianças na faixa etária de 12-13 anos consumiam entre 7 e 8 refrigerantes (latas - 250ml) por semana, ou seja, de 1500mL a 2000mL. Verificou-se que a gravidade da cárie dentária foi elevada quando os resultados foram comparados a crianças que não consumiram bebidas carbonatadas na mesma escola. Os resultados também confirmam que as crianças não estão conscientes dos efeitos nocivos dos refrigerantes sobre a saúde bucal.

Conclusão:

As crianças que consomem refrigerantes regularmente são mais propensas a cárie dentária.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To assess the oral health of children consuming carbonated beverages and also to ascertain the reasons for excess consumption of these beverages.

Methods:

A cross-sectional KAP (knowledge, attitude and practice) survey of 200 children in the age group of 12 - 13 years was carried out in Maharishi Markandeshwar International School, Mullana, Ambala, India. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to ascertain the reasons for high consumption of carbonated beverages and its effects if any on oral health. The data collected was analysed statistically.

Results:

The results of the study revealed that on an average, children in the age group of 12-13 years consumed 7-8 drinks (cans - 250ml) per week, i.e. 1500 - 2000 ml consumption. The severity of tooth decay was seen to be high, when the results were compared to those children who did not consume carbonated drinks in the same school. The findings also confirm that children are not aware of the detrimental effects of carbonated beverages on oral health.

Conclusion:

The children who consume carbonated drinks regularly are more prone to tooth decay.
