Monografia Acesso fechado Autopercepção e condições de saúde bucal de adultos atendidos na clínica da Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina(2018) Costa, Juliana Fortes Lages MartinsOral health self-perception can be a predictor of normative status and contribute to planning oral health services and quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the agreement between negative self-perception and oral treatment needs of adults attended at the University of Southern Santa Catarina (UNISUL) and associated factors. Method: Descriptive and cross-sectional study with adults aged 20 to 59 years, attended at the school of Dentistry at the UNISUL, Palhoça, SC. Data included: oral health self-perception, general health conditions (smoking, physical activity and alcohol consumption), gingival bleeding, prosthesis use, unilateral chewing and use of dental services. Clinical conditions assessed by students: prevalence of caries, prevalence of calculus and O'Leary index. Besides sex, age, schooling and household monthly income. Descriptive analysis and association by Pearson's Chi-Square test was conducted. Results: The prevalence of negative self-perception was 31.9%. With age, the significant increase to negative self-perception was observed, the inverse for higher schooling (12.9%). Using public service (52.1%) and unilateral chewing (20%) were associated with negative self-perception. A concordance of 95% and 100% between caries and calculus and negatively reporting oral health was observed respectively. For the dental biofilm the agreement was 67%. Conclusions: Significant agreement with negative self-perception was observed and suggesting that adults perceive their poor oral health and needs, although lower value for biofilm, in this case, initial conditions in the development of oral diseases.
