Objetivo: Avaliar os hábitos de higiene oral, a qualidade de vida e a relação da qualidade de vida com dados sociodemográficos e os hábitos de higiene oral da população geriátrica.
Materiais e Métodos: Durante 7 meses, recolheu-se uma amostra aleatória de 150 participantes com 65 ou mais anos, não institucionalizados, utentes da Clínica Dentária Egas Moniz. Aplicou-se um questionário, recolhendo dados sociodemográficos e informação sobre hábitos de higiene oral e qualidade de vida através do Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Consideraram-se “bons hábitos de higiene oral” lavar
os dentes duas ou mais vezes por dia, sendo uma delas à noite e usar dispositivo interdentário e/ou colutório. Recorreu-se a metodologias de análise estatística descritiva e inferencial dos dados, sendo estabelecido um nível de significância de 5%.
Resultados: Na amostra estudada, 37,3% dos indivíduos apresentaram valores elevados de índice GOHAI. O sexo masculino evidenciou valores significativamente mais elevados de GOHAI (p=0,042) e, especificamente, no domínio físico (p=0,032).
Participantes que vivem sozinhos obtiveram valores de GOHAI no domínio da dor/desconforto significativamente mais reduzidos (p=0,025). O uso de dispositivo interdentário e não sentir necessidade em usar prótese também se identificaram com valores de GOHAI significativamente mais elevados. A maior parte dos indivíduos (65,3%) apresenta boa higiene oral, especialmente os do sexo feminino (p=0,016) e os
que possuem elevado nível de instrução (p=0,006). Não se verificou uma associação significativa entre a higiene oral e classificação pelos valores de GOHAI.
Conclusão: Indivíduos do sexo masculino, que vivem acompanhados, higienizam a cavidade oral, usam dispositivo interdentário e não sentem necessidade em usar prótese apresentaram melhores indicadores de qualidade de vida. A maioria dos participantes apresentou bons hábitos de higiene oral. Verificou-se que o sexo e o nível de instrução têm uma associação significativa com os hábitos de higiene oral.
Objectives: Evaluate oral hygiene habits, quality of life and the relationship between quality of life and sociodemographic characteristics and oral hygiene habits in the elderly. Methods: An aleatory sample of 150 participants, was obtained, for 7 months, with age 65 years or more, non-institutionalized and patients of Clínica Dentária Egas Moniz. It was applied a questionary about socidemographic data, oral cleaning habits and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was obtained through Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). It was considered having “good oral hygiene habits”, brushing twice or more a day and one of it must be at night, and using interdental cleaning aids (ICA) or mouthrinses. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyze methodologies was used with a significance level of 5%. Results: In the studied sample, 37.3% had a high value of GOHAI. The male interviewers had more tendency to have higher GOHAI self-perception (p=0,042), and especially in the physical domain (p=0,032). Participants that lived alone mostly had the pain/discomfort domain lower (p=0,025). The use of ICA and don’t having the need to use a prothesis had higher GOHAI values. In the sample, 65.3% of the population had good oral hygiene habits, especially women (p=0,016) and participants with a higher educational level (p=0,006). No association between good oral hygiene habits and GOHAI was found. Conclusion: Male, not living alone, who cleaned their oral cavity, used floss and didn’t have a need to use dental prothesis had better GOHAI values. Overall, the participants exhibit good oral hygiene habits. OHRQoL was not found to be related to oral hygiene habits but, was observed that gender and education have a significant relationship with good oral hygiene.
