RESUMO
O medo e a ansiedade odontológica estão frequentemente associados a experiências traumáticas ocorridas no ambiente odontológico durante a infância. A dor de dente parece ser o problema de saúde bucal de maior impacto sobre o bemestar dos indivíduos, interferindo diretamente na qualidade de vida, pois provoca desordens no sono, diminuição do rendimento no trabalho, faltas escolares e dificuldades na alimentação. Além disso, tem sido identificada como forte preditor de restrição ao acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal, bem como importante elemento no planejamento dos serviços de saúde. O presente estudo teve como objetivos verificar a prevalência e intensidade do medo, da ansiedade e da dor de dente em adolescentes e estimar o impacto dessas variáveis na qualidade de vida, na saúde bucal e no acesso aos serviços de saúde. A amostra foi composta por 101 adolescentes, matriculados na única escola estadual do município de Reginópolis- SP. Foram aplicados cinco questionários para verificar a prevalência e intensidade do medo (Dental Fear Survey), da ansiedade (Modified Dental Anxiety Scale) e da dor de dente, além de verificar o impacto na qualidade de vida (Oral Health Impact Profile, OHIP-14) e o acesso aos serviços de saúde. Para avaliar as condições de saúde bucal foram utilizados os índices CPOD (cárie dentária) e CPI (doença periodontal). O teste de Mann-Whitney foi usado para verificar as diferenças entre os grupos (idade, sexo, etnia e local da moradia) quanto ao medo, ansiedade, qualidade de vida, cárie dentária e doença periodontal. Para verificar a associação com a dor de dente e acesso ao serviço de saúde foi usado o teste do qui-quadrado...
ABSTRACT
Dental fear and anxiety are often associated with traumatic experiences that occurred in the dental environment during childhood. Dental pain seems to be the problem of oral health with the greatest impact on the well-being of individuals, directly interfering with quality of life; it causes sleep disorders, decreased performance at work, school absences and difficulties in feeding. Moreover, it has been identified as strong predictor of restriction of access to oral health services, as well as an important element in the planning of health services. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and intensity of fear, anxiety and dental pain in adolescents and to estimate the impact of these variables on quality of life, oral health and access to health services. The sample consisted of 101 adolescents enrolled in the only state school in the city of Reginópolis-SP. Five questionnaires were used to determine the prevalence and intensity of fear (Dental Fear Survey), anxiety (Modified Dental Anxiety Scale) and dental pain, and check the impact on quality of life (Oral Health Impact Profile, OHIP-14) and access to health services. To assess the oral health status DMFT (dental caries) and CPI (periodontal disease) were used. The Mann-Whitney test was used to investigate the differences between the groups (age, gender, ethnicity and place of residence) as to fear, anxiety, quality of life, dental caries and periodontal disease. To verify the association with the dental pain and access to health services was used the chi-square test. The correlation between fear, anxiety, and dental pain with quality of life, oral health and access to the service was performed by the Spearman correlation coefficient. In all tests it was adopted level of significance of 5%...
