Objetivos: Descrever a prevalência de cárie dentária, segundo o índice de cpod/CPOD, e a prevalência de maloclusão, relacionando estas variáveis com a faixa etária, género e tipo de dentição da população.
Materiais e Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico e descritivo, com uma amostra de 82 crianças, com idades compreendidas entre os três e os doze anos, de ambos os géneros que frequentam o “Infantário Arco-Íris” e “CACCO- Centro de Apoio à Criança e Centro Ocupacional”, da Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Concelho das Lajes e Madalena do Pico, respetivamente. A recolha de dados foi realizada a partir do exame clínico, com recurso a kits de observação e luvas descartáveis, em ambiente escolar. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a análise estatística descritiva e inferencial.
Resultados: A amostra é totalmente homogénea quanto ao género, existindo 50% de crianças do género feminino e 50% do género masculino, sendo que a maioria pertencia à faixa etária dos 7 anos (20,7%) e apresentava dentição mista (58,5%). O índice de cpod/CPOD registado nesta população foi de 1,18, verificando-se diferenças significativas entre a prevalência de cárie dentária e a faixa etária (p=0,004). Registou-se uma maior prevalência da classe I canina, tando à direita (79,3%) como à esquerda (78%) para os dois tipos de dentição. O degrau vertical registou também a maior percentagem tanto à direita (46,3%) como à esquerda (43,9%) e, por último, a maioria das crianças não apresentou características de maloclusão (56,1%).
Conclusões: Verificou-se baixa prevalência de cárie dentária. A classe I canina e o degrau vertical foram as características mais prevalentes na amostra. A maioria das crianças não apresentavam quaisquer características de maloclusão. Houve diferenças significativas do índice de cpod/CPOD em função da faixa etária.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of the dental caries, by the cpod/CPOD index and the prevalence of malocclusion relating with the age group, the gender and the type of dentition of the population sampled. Materials and Methods: A epidemiological and descriptive study with a sample composed by 82 children, aged between three and twelve years old, of both genders, who attended “Infantário Arco-Íris” and “CACCO- Centro de Apoio à Criança e Centro Ocupacional”, that belongs to Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Lajes and Madalena do Pico, respectively. All children underwent a clinical examination using observation kits, in their schools. Data was analyzed statistically. Results: The sample had total homogeneous distribution regarding gender, with 50% of the children of female gender and 50% of male gender, in which most were 7 years old (20,7%) and had mixed dentition (58,5%). The cpod/CPOD index in this population sampled is 1,18 with significant differences between the prevalence of dental caries and the age group (p=0,004). Higher prevalence was registered in canine relationship class I, both on the right (79,3%) and on the left (78%). The vertical step also registered the higher prevalence, both on the right (46,3%) and on the left (43,9%). Finally, most children didn’t have malocclusion characteristics (56,1%). Conclusions: Low prevalence of dental caries was verified. The higher prevalence was registered in canine relationship class I and vertical molar relationship. Most children didn’t have malocclusion characteristics. Significant differences between the prevalence of dental caries and the age group were verified.
