Resumo

Introdução: A doença cárie e as alterações periodontais são problemas frequentemente encontrados em pacientes com deficiência. Objetivo: Avaliar as condições periodontais e de higiene bucal em escolares com deficiência neuropsicomotora matriculados em um centro de reabilitação. Método: A pesquisa envolveu entrevista com os responsáveis e exame clínico do escolar, para registro do índice de placa e do índice de sangramento. Após o exame, foi realizada profilaxia profissional, orientação de higiene bucal e esclarecimento de dúvidas. Os dados foram observados por meio de estatística descritiva. Resultado: A amostra foi constituída por 41 escolares com deficiência neuropsicomotora, com idades entre sete e 14 anos, sendo 20 do sexo feminino (48,8%) e 21 do sexo masculino (51,2%), e com idade média de 10,8 anos. A maioria dos pacientes tinha a figura da mãe como principal cuidador (85%). Observou-se que 71% dos escolares necessitavam de ajuda para realizar a higiene bucal e quase 40% dos cuidadores apresentavam dificuldade para realizá-la, principalmente pelo fato de o paciente “não abrir a boca”. Quase a totalidade dos escolares não usava fio dental. Constatou-se, ainda, que 87,2% apresentaram sangramento gengival à sondagem e que, em 84,7%, verificou-se índice de placa maior ou igual a ‘2’. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que os escolares com deficiência neuropsicomotora incluídos neste estudo apresentaram condições periodontais e de higiene bucal insatisfatórias, demonstrando a necessidade de serem instituídas ações preventivas focadas na orientação aos pacientes e cuidadores, para a efetividade da higiene bucal.

Abstract

Introduction: Caries and periodontal disease are problems frequently affecting patients with disabilities. Objective: In this study we aim to evaluate the periodontal conditions and the oral hygiene in students with neuropsychomotor disorders enrolled in a rehabilitation center. Method: Data collect was based in interview with the responsible and the scholar’s clinical exam to register the plaque index and the bleeding index. After the clinical exam were performed professional prophylaxis, oral hygiene orientation and explanation of doubts. Result: The sample consisted of 41 students with neuropsychomotor disabilities, with ages among 7 and 14 years, 20 females (48.8%) and 21 males (51.2%) with a mean age of 10.8 years. Most patients had the figure of the mother as primary caregiver (85%). It was observed that 71% of students need help in performing oral hygiene and nearly 40% of caregivers had difficulty doing it, in most of the cases because the patient “did not open his mouth”. Almost the totality of the students doesn’t use dental floss. It was also found that 87.2% had gingival bleeding and 84.7% had the plaque index greater or equal to 2. Conclusion: It was concluded that disabled students included in this study had bad periodontal conditions and poor oral hygiene. It shows the need of preventive programs to guide themselves and the caregivers, seeking for effectiveness of oral hygiene.
