TLDR
O uso of fio dental apareceu como um fator de risco: os que afirmaram nao usa-lo apresentaram "odds ratio" bruto of 0,70, e de 0,73 quando ajustado para visitas regulares ao dentista, while Habitos de higiene oral nao demonstraram efeito protetor esperado.Abstract:
Com o objetivo de investigar o efeito do conhecimento e atitudes pessoais, habitos de higiene oral e uso de fluoretos sobre a total ausencia de caries, realizou-se um estudo do tipo caso-controle entre estudantes universitarios da regiao sul do Brasil. A analise bruta por regressao logistica condicional nao demonstrou efeito para as variaveis relacionadas ao uso de fluoretos e habitos de higiene oral (p > 0,20). Ja o uso de fio dental apareceu como um fator de risco: os que afirmaram nao usa-lo apresentaram "odds ratio" (OR) bruto de 0,70, e de 0,73 quando ajustado para visitas regulares ao dentista. O efeito para as visitas regulares ao dentista foi de risco. Pessoas com historia de carie visitavam mais os profissionais. Aqueles com historia de carie apresentaram um "odds ratio" bruto de 1,55; apos o ajuste para uso de fio dental o risco foi levemente superior (OR = 1,67). Habitos de higiene oral nao demonstraram efeito protetor esperado. O uso de fluoretos nao esteve significativamente associado a ausencia de caries. Permanece intrigando o fato de que algumas pessoas nao desenvolvam caries, mesmo nao relatando cuidados considerados ideais a saude bucal.read more
