| description | The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of dental fluorosis in schoolchildren aged 6 to 15 and its possible association with the impacts on their daily activities. This study is observational, cross-sectional and analytical. A total of 513 schoolchildren from the city of Pinheiro Preto, SC, took part in this study. The children were examined by three calibrated dentists, after obtaining a kappa > 0.80. To assess the prevalence of fluorosis, clinical examinations were performed according to the methodology set forth by the 4th edition of the WHO. To assess the impact of fluorosis on their daily activities, a modified OIDP (Oral Impacts on Daily Performance) was adopted. The statistical analysis used was the Chi-squared test with a 5% significance level. Of the total number of children examined, 262 (51.1%) were of the female gender and 251 (48.9%) were of the male gender. In regard to the prevalence of fluorosis, 94 (18.3%) of the children presented this condition, while 419 children (81.7%) presented a normal condition. In regard to the severity of fluorosis, few children presented severe alterations. No association was found between dental fluorosis and gender (p = 0.646), between fluorosis and socioeconomic status (p = 0.848) or between fluorosis and access to public water supply system (p = 0.198). The activities that most affected children's daily performance were: oral hygiene (40.9%) and food intake or enjoying food (40.4%). None of the daily activities could be associated with the occurrence of dental fluorosis. The prevalence of dental fluorosis was consonant with the standards found for locations with optimum fluoride content in the water supply. The questionable and very slight levels of fluorosis were the most frequently found, without influence in the quality of life of the schoolchildren participating in the study.<br>O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a prevalência de fluorose dentária em escolares de 6 a 15 anos de idade e sua possível associação com o impacto nas atividades diárias. Trata-se de um censo observacional, transversal, analítico. Participaram do estudo 513 escolares do município de Pinheiro Preto-SC. Os escolares foram examinados por 3 cirurgiões-dentistas devidamente calibrados, após obtenção de kappa > 0,80. Para avaliar a prevalência de fluorose foi realizado exame clínico segundo metodologia da 4ª edição da OMS. Para verificar os impactos nas atividades diárias foi utilizado o OIDP (Oral Impacts on Daily Performance) modificado. O teste estatístico utilizado foi o do Qui-quadrado, com nível de significância de 5%. Foram examinados 262 (51,1%) escolares do sexo feminino e 251 (48,9%) do sexo masculino. Em relação à prevalência de fluorose, 94 (18,3%) escolares a apresentaram, e 419 (81,7%) apresentaram condições normais. Em relação à gravidade, poucos escolares apresentaram alterações severas. Não foram verificadas associação entre a fluorose dentária e o gênero (p = 0,646), fluorose e condição socioeconômica (p = 0,848) e tal condição e acesso a abastecimento de água fornecido pela rede geral (p = 0,198). As atividades mais citadas que afetaram o desempenho diário foram: limpar os dentes (40,9%) e se alimentar ou gostar de comida (40,4%). Nenhuma atividade diária pôde ser associada com presença de fluorose dental. Verificou-se prevalência de fluorose em consonância com padrões para localidades com teor ideal de flúor na água de abastecimento. As fluoroses questionável e muito leve foram as mais freqüentes, não influenciando a qualidade de vida dos escolares que participaram do estudo. |
