ABSTRACT
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate objectively and subjectively the oral health of elders with Parkinson's disease (PD), using clinical oral assessments and the General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Subjects included 37 removable prosthesis wearers, 17 with PD (mean age 69.59±5.09 years) and 20 without PD (mean age 72.00±5.69 years). The objective assessment included an evaluation of oral characteristics, including the number of remaining teeth, decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT), visible plaque index (VPI), salivary flow rate and removable prosthesis conditions. The subjective assessment included self-perception of oral health collected using the GOHAI index. The number of remaining teeth, DMFT, VPI, salivary flow rate and GOHAI data were compared between the groups using t-tests. Removable prosthesis conditions were analyzed using χ2 tests (p<0.05). There were no group differences in the number of remaining teeth, DMFT, VPI or salivary flow rate (p>0.05). Greater maxillary prosthesis defects were observed in the control group (p=0.037). GOHAI scores were low for the PD group and moderate for controls, yielding a group difference (p=0.04). In conclusion, elders with PD have similar oral health to controls. Although all elders had few remaining teeth, high DMFT and high VPI, PD elders had more negative self-perceptions of their oral health than did the controls.
RESUMO
Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar objetiva e subjetivamente a saúde bucal em idosos com doença de Parkinson (DP), usando avaliações clínicas bucais e do General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Os participantes foram 37 indivíduos usuários de prótese removível, 17 com DP (idade média 69,59±5,09 anos) e 20 sem DP (idade média 72,00±5,69 anos). A avaliação objetiva incluiu avaliação de características bucais,incluindo número de dentes remanescentes; dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (CPOD); índice de placa visível (IPV), a taxa de fluxo salivar e as condições das próteses removíveis. A avaliação subjetiva incluiu autopercepção da saúde bucal, coletada usando o índice GOHAI. O número de dentes remanescentes, CPOD, IPV, fluxo salivar e os dados GOHAI foram comparadas entre os grupos utilizando o teste t . As condições das próteses removíveis foram analisadas utilizando o teste χ2 (p<0,05). Não houve diferenças entre os grupos no número de dentes remanescentes, CPOD, IPV ou fluxo salivar (p>0,05). Maiores defeitos na prótese superior foi observada no grupo controle (p=0,037). As pontuações do GOHAI foram baixa para o grupo DP e moderada para os controles, com diferença entre os grupos (p=0,04). Como conclusão, os idosos com doença de Parkinson tem saúde bucal semelhante aos controles. Embora todos os idosos tenham poucos dentes remanescentes, alto CPOD e alto IPV, os idosos com DP apresentaram autopercepção mais negativa da sua saúde bucal em relação aos controles.
