Objetivo: O principal objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a saúde oral de estudantes de medicina dentária em função do ano de formação. Adicionalmente, através da análise de comportamentos, hábitos e atitudes, teve como objetivo caracterizar o estado de saúde periodontal da população em estudo.
Materiais e Métodos: Alunos de MIMD da FMDUL preencheram um questionário sobre hábitos e comportamentos de saúde oral, baseado no questionário HU-DBI e disponibilizado online através do “Google Forms”. Posteriormente, os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente.
Resultados: A amostra do presente estudo foi constituída por 194 alunos (164 mulheres e 30 homens com idade média de 21.4 anos). 76,3% dos alunos nunca fumou; 5,2% dos alunos escova os dentes durante menos de 1 minuto; 69,1% utiliza uma técnica específica de escovagem; 87,1% quando termina a escovagem verifica o resultado num espelho; 89,2% usa dentífrico, sendo o mais escolhido da marca Colgate® (37,1%) e os critérios de escolha mencionados foram o flúor (29,9%), sabor (7,9%) e ação dessensibilizante (4,6%); 42,8% relata hemorragia gengival; 28,4% reporta depósitos moles visíveis; 84% alterou os hábitos de saúde oral; 72% avalia a sua saúde oral como “boa”.
Conclusão: Existe relação entre o ano de curso e hábitos tabágicos, tempo de escovagem, técnica de escovagem, verificação do resultado da escovagem, utilização de dentífrico, manifestação de hemorragia gengival, presença de depósitos moles, mudança de hábitos de saúde oral e estado de saúde periodontal.
Introduction: Oral health providers play a major role in educating their patients, families and friends. One of the main purposes of teaching dentistry is training professionals whose main task is to motivate their patients into adopting a positive attitude towards oral hygiene. Aim: The main objective of the present study was to assess oral health condition of dental students in different academic levels. Additionally, through behaviours, habits and attitudes analysis, it aimed to characterize the studied population’s periodontal health status. Materials and Methods: Dental students from FMDUL filled out a form about self-reported oral health behaviours, habits and attitudes, based on HU-DBI, available online using “Google Forms”. Statistical analysis was then conducted. Results: This study sample consisted of 194 students (164 female and 30 male who were mean age of 21,4), of which 76,3% never smoked; 5,2% brushes their teeth for less than a minute; 69,1% employs a specific brushing technique; 87,1% checks their teeth in the mirror after brushing; 89,2% uses toothpaste, being Colgate® the most used brand (37,1%) and the criteria of choice more often mentioned the fluoride presence (29,9%), taste (7,9%) and desensitizing action (4,6%); 42,8% reports gingival bleeding; 28,4% reports visible soft deposits; 84% has changed their oral health habits; 72% evaluates their periodontal health as “good”. Conclusion: A relation was found between years of study and smoking habits, toothbrushing duration, toothbrushing technique, checking teeth in the mirror after brushing, use of toothpaste, gingival bleeding, detection of soft deposits, oral health habits change and perceived oral health status.
