          Abstract

          Introducción: Si bien la salud bucal en gran parte de la población está afectada, aquella con bajo ingreso está particularmente en mayor riesgo, debido entre otros factores a la falta de acceso a atención odontológica, por el costo o falta general de información acerca de la importancia de la misma en la salud general y bienestar de las personas. Objetivos: Describir la experiencia de caries de menores en situación de calle afectados por la pobreza en la Fundación DEQUENI, sede Ypané, en el año 2013. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo, de corte transversal, en 70 menores de 12 y 15 años de edad. Se consideraron variables demográficas, caries dental, anomalías de oclusión, y estilo de vida. Resultados: El 54,29% pertenecía al sexo femenino. El índice CPO-D fue 6,57 (DE=3,54). El 44,3% de los padres afirmaron que alguna vez les enseñaron sobre salud bucal. Se informó un 100% de frecuencia de uso de cepillo dental y el 97,14% refirió cepillarse 3 veces al día. En cuanto a la dieta, el 48,57% de la población refiere al menos 5 comidas al día, el 64,29% refiere alta frecuencia de consumo de bebidas gaseosas entre las comidas o luego de la cena. Conclusiones: Los resultados ubican a esta población con una alta experiencia de caries dental y por ende una necesidad terapéutica proporcional a las mismas en concomitancia con la implementación de programas de prevención.

          Introduction: Oral health affects much of the population, and the low income is particularly at risk due to lack of access to dental care, high cost of dental services and general lack of information about the importance of oral health in the general health and welfare of people. To evaluate the oral health status of children at risk affected by poverty in DEQUENI, at Ypané, in 2013. Material and methods: Observational, cross-sectional study, in 70 under 12 and 15 years old. Demographic variables, dental caries, and lifestyle were considered. Results: 54.29% were female. The DMF-T index was 6.57 (SD=3,54). A 100% frequency of use of the toothbrush and 97.14% of brushing 3 times a day was reported. As for diet, 48.57% of the population refers at least 5 meals a day, and 64.29% reported high frequency of soft drink consumption between meals or after dinner. Conclusions: We found a high prevalence of dental caries in this population, often related to excessive consumption of foods high in sugar between meals, lack of proper hygienic habits, lack of knowledge and lack of encouragement to practice oral hygiene techniques.

            The potential oral health impact of cost barriers to dental care: findings from a Canadian population-based study

            Background Prior to the 2007/09 Canadian Health Measures Survey, there was no nationally representative clinical data on the oral health of Canadians experiencing cost barriers to dental care. The aim of this study was to determine the oral health status and dental treatment needs of Canadians reporting cost barriers to dental care. Methods A secondary data analysis of the 2007/09 Canadian Health Measures Survey was undertaken using a sample of 5,586 Canadians aged 6 to 79. Chi square tests were conducted to test the association between reporting cost barriers to care and oral health outcomes. Logistic regressions were conducted to identify predictors of reporting cost barriers. Results Individuals who reported cost barriers to dental care had poorer oral health and more treatment needs compared to their counterparts. Conclusions Avoiding dental care and/or foregoing recommended treatment because of cost may contribute to poor oral health. This study substantiates the potential likelihood of progressive dental problems caused by an inability to treat existing conditions due to financial barriers.
