Introdução: Atualmente, assistimos a um envelhecimento da população, bem como a um aumento da prevalência e severidade da doença periodontal. Associações têm sido propostas entre saúde geral, saúde periodontal e os seus fatores de risco.
Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre os hábitos de higiene oral, a saúde geral e a saúde periodontal na população geriátrica da Clínica Dentária Egas Moniz (CDEM).
Materiais e Métodos: Entre dezembro de 2021 e maio de 2022, avaliaram-se 150 participantes, com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos de idade que compareceram na CDEM. Foi-lhes aplicado um questionário onde se recolheram informações sobre dados sociodemográficos, saúde geral, hábitos de higiene oral e qualidade de vida relacionada com saúde (QdVRSO). Realizou-se ainda um exame intraoral onde foi possível medir os parâmetros periodontais. Procedeu-se à análise estatística, tendo sido estabelecido um nível de significância de 5%.
Resultados: Mais de metade da amostra pertencia ao género feminino, tinha nível de instrução baixo, encontrava-se medicada, não apresentava hábitos tabágicos ou alcoólicos, demonstrando bons hábitos de higiene oral. A maioria apresentou doença periodontal (70,7%), sendo esta mais elevada no sexo masculino (76,3%), em indivíduos com menor nível de instrução (entre 70,1% a 100%) e com doenças crónicas como hipertensão, diabetes e obesidade. Uma maior prevalência de doença periodontal foi tendencialmente encontrada nos participantes com consumo de álcool e tabaco. Foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas (p= 0,030) entre o índice de cálculo e a doença periodontal. Indivíduos com doença periodontal apresentaram valores menores de qualidade de vida, principalmente ao nível do domínio psicossocial.
Conclusão: Apesar de não ter sido encontrada uma associação estatisticamente significativa, parece haver uma maior tendência para indivíduos do sexo masculino, com baixa escolaridade, hipertensão ou diabetes e hábitos tabágicos e alcoólicos desenvolverem doença periodontal. O índice de cálculo mostrou diferenças estatisticamente significativas perante a doença periodontal.
Introduction: Nowadays, we witness an aging population and an increased prevalence and severity of periodontal disease. Several associations have been proposed between general health, oral health, and its risk factors. Objective: To analyze the relationship between oral hygiene habits, general health, and periodontal health in the geriatric population of the Egas Moniz Dental Clinic. Materials and Methods: Between December 2021 and May 2022, 150 participants, aged 65 years or older, who attended the Egas Moniz Dental Clinic, were evaluated. A questionnaire was applied to them in which information was collected on sociodemographic data, general health, oral hygiene habits, and health-related quality of life. An intraoral examination was also performed where it was possible to measure the periodontal parameters. Statistical analysis was carried out and a significance level of 5% was established. Results: More than half of the sample was female, had a low level of education, was medicated, didn’t smoke or drink alcohol, and demonstrated good oral hygiene habits. The majority had periodontal disease (71.7%), which was higher in males (76.3%), in individuals with a lower level of education (between 70.1% and 100%), and with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. A higher prevalence of periodontal disease tended to be found in participants with alcohol and tobacco consumption. Statistically significant differences (p=0.030) were observed between the calculus index and periodontal disease. Individuals with periodontal disease had lower quality of life (QoL) values, mainly in the psychosocial domain. Conclusion: Although no statistically significant association was found, there seems to be a greater tendency for male individuals, with low education, hypertension or diabetes, and smoking and alcohol habits to develop periodontal disease. Calculus index showed statistically significant differences in relation to periodontal disease.
