Estudo epidemiológico da cárie dentária no povo do DSEI Xavante/MT polo base Água Boa

Abstract

This paper aims to disseminate knowledge about oral health conditions through an epidemiological study of dental caries among the people of DSEI Xavante / MT, seeking to better understand the configuration of oral patterns referred people. Objective: To analyze factors associated with the prevalence of caries of the DSEI Xavante / MT Base Good Water Polo, residing in Mato Grosso, in 2012 population factors. Method: This cross-sectional study of the Xavante population served from January to June 2012 in phase I of the Project Smiling Brazil Indigenous. The dependent variables were the CPO-D index (decayed tooth, missing and filled teeth) and the ceo-d (decayed tooth extracted and filled teeth) of the continuous type (which allows measurement) and the independent variables: gender, age, aspects cultural (tobacco use, dietary habits, self-care practices, adornment or modification in the oral cavity), access to the urban area (away from the village to the city, means of locomotion). Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis and multiple Poisson regression, and the level of significance of 5%. Results: The prevalence of dental caries in Xavante population studied was 99.38%, while the average of the CPO-D index was found to be 10.40. The fillings constituted only 1.72% of the index, whereas decayed and lost parts formed, respectively, 69.83% and 28.45%. There was a significant association between gross inequality in the distribution of the disease and the type of dentition and both remained significantly associated in the adjusted model. The caries severity was also significantly associated with age group and type of dentition.
