          Abstract

          Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: descrever a experiência de cárie dental em adolescentes de 12 a 20 anos de Salvador - BA e testar a associação entre a severidade da cárie e o uso do flúor tópico na forma de gel ou bochechos. Realizou-se um estudo transversal e análise de regressão logística não condicional, pelo método "backward", com uma amostra de 493 adolescentes escolares do Distrito Sanitário Barra-Rio Vermelho. As variáveis de desenho foram obtidas a partir de questionário semi-estruturado e exame bucal. O CPOD correspondeu a 4,44 (DP 3,71), sendo de 2,72 (DP 2,75) aos 12-13 anos. Cento e quarenta e quatro adolescentes participaram de ações de promoção de saúde bucal (30%) e a maioria declarou-se pouco apta a manter a própria saúde oral. O flúor tópico não se mostrou como um fator de proteção significativo na redução da cárie dental nesta população (RP = 0,9). Houve redução dos índices de cárie dental nos adolescentes do Distrito, embora exista a necessidade de reformulação do modelo cirúrgico-restaurador de atenção à saúde bucal, para maior controle da cárie dental e melhor efetividade dos métodos de promoção e proteção à saúde bucal.

          Translated abstract

          The aim of this paper was to investigate the experience of dental caries in a population of young adults from Salvador - BA, and to associate the prevalence of caries with the utilization of topical fluoride. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 493 persons aged 12-20 years, from Salvador - BA. Data were obtained from interviews and clinical examinations and they were analyzed through backward logistic regression. The DMFT was 4.44 (SD 3.71), and, for subjects aging 12-13 years, it was 2.72 (SD 2.75). A hundred and forty adolescents reported that they had participated in oral health programs (30%), and the majority felt that they were unable to maintain their own oral health. Topical fluoride was not a significant factor in the decrease of the prevalence of caries among these young adults (RP = 0.9). There was a decline in dental caries in this group. However, it is necessary to review the surgical-restorative model of dental practice in order to achieve better results in the promotion of oral health.

              Dietary habits and dental caries in a population of Spanish schoolchildren with low levels of caries experience.

              The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between current dietary habits and dental caries in schoolchildren from an area of Spain on which the prevalence of caries was low. The results of an epidemiological study conducted on a random sample of 893 children from the cities of Girona and Figueres are presented. The method of dietary interview consisted of a food-frequency questionnaire. This showed a positive relationship between dental caries and consumption of ice cream, pastries, cakes, sliced bread, on the one hand, and sugar-free chewing gum and sugar-free candies, on the other. A protective effect of skimmed milk and artificial sweeteners was also observed. Results reflect the role of certain foods in caries development, but also the outcome of selective dietary counseling to high-risk children.
