Resumo(s)
"Objectives: A descriptive study of exploratory character with the objective to determine the representation of a
healthy tooth and an unhealthy tooth, associated with the concept of dental decay. Methods: Children of both
genders (880), distributed in six age groups of low socio-economic level, some already having prior contact with
the dentist and others not. Three instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, pictograms
representation protocols and drawing content analysis grid. Results: Content analysis on the drawings indicates
significant discrepancies, inherent to the pictorial profiles. Conclusion: The results point to the need of
developing educative tools for oral health."
