ABSTRACT
The study objective was to evaluate the prevalence of referred dental pain (RDP) in a group of Brazilians subjects and identify possible partnerships with sex, age and the presence of periodontal or periapical lesions. A descriptive cross-sectional study was designed, 98 patients between 14 and 64 years old (59 women and 39 men), who consulted by dental pain were evaluated clinically and radiographically in order to determine the cause and partnership with periapical and periodontal lesions and its possible territories projection other than their origin. The prevalence of RDP was 31.6 percent, higher in women (67.74 percent) though without statistical significance. The RDP was presented at a 45.16 percent together with periapical lesion and a 25.8 percent along with periodontal lesion. There was no relationship between age and RDP presence. The high prevalence of RDP found reinforces the need for a diagnosis of orofacial pain.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la prevalencia de dolor referido dental (DRD) en un grupo de sujetos brasileros y determinar las posibles asociaciones con sexo, edad y la presencia de lesión periapical o periodontal. Se diseñó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, con 98 pacientes, de entre 14 y 64 años (59 mujeres y 39 hombres), que consultaron por dolor dental, ellos fueron evaluados clínica y radiográficamente con el fin de determinar la causa y la asociación con lesión periapical y periodontal y su posible proyección a territorios distintos de su origen. La prevalencia del DRD fue de 31,6 por ciento, mayor en mujeres (67,74 por ciento) aunque sin significancia estadística. El DRD se presentó en un 45,16 por ciento junto con lesión periapical y un 25,8 por ciento junto a lesión periodontal. No se encontró asociación entre la edad y la presencia de DRD. La alta prevalencia de DRD encontrada refuerza la necesidad de un diagnóstico etiológico del dolor orofacial.
