RESUMO
Objetivo: Avaliar clinicamente a prevalência de cárie e gengivite em 62 crianças de 3 a 12 anos de idade, de ambos os gêneros sendo que 32 eram portadoras de neoplasias e 30 eram saudáveis, fazendo parte do grupo controle. Métodos: Os pacientes foram avaliados utilizando-se os índices CPO-d, ceo-d, Õndice de Placa (IP) e Õndice gengival (IG), sendo avaliados em dois momentos, antes e seis meses após o início do estudo. Na análise estatística, para verificar a interdependência entre as variáveis, utilizaram-se os testes Exato de Fisher e Wilcoxon (p<0,05). Resultados: Verificou-se que a neoplasia mais freqüente foi a leucemia e a terapia mais utilizada foi a quimioterapia. Com relaçÆo à cárie dental, pode-se observar ao examinarmos os pacientes inicialmente e após um período de seis meses, que os índices de cárie (CPO-D e ceo-d) aumentaram em ambos os grupos, no entanto, sendo estatisticamente significante entre os dois momentos do exame, no grupo de pacientes oncológicos. Já com relaçÆo aos índices de placa e gengival (IP e IG), nÆo houve diferenças estatisticamente significante entre os grupos analisados e, também, entre os dois momentos de avaliaçÆo. ConclusÆo: Desse modo, ressalta-se a importância do odontopediatra na equipe de atendimento destes pacientes, para detectar, orientar e prevenir as principais manifestaçães bucais decorrentes da doença e do tratamento...
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate clinically the prevalence of caries and gingivitis in children with cancer. Method: Children aged 3 to 12 years old of both genders participated in the study. Thirty-two had some type of neoplasia and 30 were healthy controls. The patients were evaluated based on the following indexes: DMFT, dmft, Plaque index (PI) and Gingival index (GI) before and 6 months after the beginning of this study. Fisher?s exact and Wilcoxon tests were used in the statistical analysis to check the relations among the variables (?=0.05). Results: The most frequent neoplasia was leukemia and chemotherapy was the most common type of treatment. The dental caries indexes (DMFT and dmft) increased in both groups from baseline to the 6-month evaluation, but the difference was statistically significant only for the cancer patients. For PI and GI, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups or between two evaluation moments. Conclusion: The results reinforce the importance of including a pediatric dentist in the multiprofessional team that treats pediatric cancer patients in order to instruct, diagnose and prevent the main oral manifestations associated with neoplasias and the treatment...
