Impacto da doença cárie e do traumatismo dentário na Qualidade de Vida de crianças de 8 a 10 anos de idade

Abstract

Quality of life related to oral health is an object of interest in research for enhancing health comprehensiveness. The objective of this cross-sectional observational study was to identify the socioeconomic profile and the impact of caries disease and dental trauma on the quality of life of children 8 to 10 years of age who were in dental care in a public teaching university. Thus, data collection was performed on 128 children and their respective parents or guardians through questionnaires (CPQ8-10 and socioeconomic) and oral clinical examination. The clinical inspection was performed by two examiners using the ICDAS Index for dental caries and classification of the World Health Organization (WHO, 1997) for dental trauma, after prophylaxis, under reflector illumination, with clinical mirror and ball point probe. Taking into account that the calculation of the caries experience according to ICDAS without conversion exercise is not possible, the codes were converted into CPO-D and ceo-d components, according to Amorim et al., 2012. The C / c component consisted of a C 2 / c 2 component comprising codes 1 to 6 and a C 3 / c 3 component, which encompassed codes 4 to 6. The P / e component was obtained by codes 99, 97 and 98 as well as elements that received scores of 4 to 6 on three or more surfaces, while codes from 10 to 80 were scored as O / o component. If there was carious lesion and restoration on the same or another surface, the C / c component prevailed in the C2 / c2 cut; for C3 / c3, only scores of 4 to 6 were considered as C / c components in detriment to O / o. Descriptive statistical analyzes, Mann-Whitney tests, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman's correlation analysis were performed, with a significance level of 5%. As a result, it was observed that the parents were over 35 years of age in 53.9%, high school completed in 43.8% and family income of up to two minimum wages in 50.0% of the cases. Regarding children, 53.9% were girls and 40.6% were 9 years old. The mean c2eo2-d was 2.90 (SD ± 2.55) and c3eo3-d 1.51 (DP ± 2.01); C 2 PO 2 -D gave 3.54 (DP +/- 3.05), while C 3 PO 3 -D 1.15 (DP + 1.60). Only 5,5% (n = 7) of the sample presented dental traumatism and all cases involved only dental enamel. Significant association was observed only between schooling of the person responsible and CPQ8-10 (p <0.05), mainly in the areas of emotional well-being (p = 0.015) and social (p = 0.026). Therefore, dental caries and dental trauma have not shown a significant impact on the quality of life of children 8 to 10 years of age.
