Resumo

Resumo: Introdução: Idosos mais velhos têm saúde bucal precária, procuram pouco os serviços odontológicos e apresentam autopercepção sobre saúde bucal discordante das necessidades de tratamento.

Objetivo: Comparar a condição e autopercepção de saúde bucal e padrão de utilização de serviços odontológicos de idosos com 80 anos ou mais de um município do sul brasileiro.

Método: Estudo descritivo com 59 idosos, em 2011 e 2015, no município de Antônio Carlos, Santa Catarina. Foram coletados dados demográficos, uso dos serviços, Oral Health Impact Profile14 item, hábitos e algumas condições bucais.

Resultado: Em ambos os anos, constatou-se mais de 70% de idosos necessitando de prótese total superior, embora mais de 80% se apresentassem satisfeitos com dentes/próteses. Mais de 60% relataram que haviam consultado o dentista há mais de 3 anos. Houve aumento significativo da necessidade de prótese total inferior, boca seca, placa, desconforto para comer; diminuição de consulta odontológica de rotina e extração dentária.

Conclusão: Embora tenha havido diminuição das extrações, no período, os idosos mantiveram necessidade de prótese e relataram problemas para comer. Tais resultados reafirmam a importância da inclusão do idoso com 80 anos ou mais na rede de serviços de saúde bucal.

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Older elderly people have poor oral health, not usually seek for dental services, and self-perceived oral health that is inconsistent with treatment needs.

Objective: To compare the oral health condition, self-perception and use of dental services of elderly people with 80+ years of age in a southern Brazilian municipality.

Method: Descriptive study with 59 elders, in 2011 and 2015, Antônio Carlos, Santa Catarina. Demographic data, use of services, Oral Health Impact Profile – 14 item, habits and some oral conditions were investigated.

Result: In both years, more than 70% required upper dentures, although more than 80% were satisfied with teeth/prosthesis. More than 60% reported last dental visit more than 3 years ago. It was observed a significative increasing in lower denture need, dry mouth, plaque and discomfort to eat; decreasing routine dental visits and tooth extraction.

Conclusion: Although there was a decrease in extractions, the elderly had prosthetic need and reported problems with eating. These results reaffirm the importance of including the elderly with 80+ years in the oral health services network.
