Abstract(s)
Atualmente verifica-se um aumento do número de idosos na população portuguesa e são constantes os desafios do sistema de saúde para lhes proporcionar uma boa qualidade de vida (QdV). A abordagem do conceito de QdV refere-se a diferentes aspetos da vida como o grau de satisfação perante a vida familiar, perante a vida ambiental, social, amorosa, existencial, relacionada com o bem-estar do indivíduo, valores individuais e em grupo.
Sendo a condição oral um dos principais critérios para classificar a qualidade de vida no doente, o presente estudo tem como objetivo abordar a autopercepção dos pacientes desdentados totais e parciais reabilitados com próteses removíveis, bem como os instrumentos existentes para recolher e classificar os resultados da sua percepção de saúde oral e impacto na qualidade de vida.
Para melhor planear o tratamento reabilitador com próteses removíveis é necessário perceber quais são as maiores preocupações e exigências terapêuticas dos pacientes. Este é o passo inicial para executar um tratamento de sucesso e para isso, os instrumentos que avaliam o impacto de saúde oral na qualidade de vida, devem ser estudados e analisados.
Posto isto, o uso de próteses removíveis deve ser uma opção de tratamento reabilitador que visa, não só a melhora clínica do paciente, como também a melhoria na sua qualidade de vida.
