Resumo
A quantidade de pessoas com alguma deficiência cresce a cada ano, e junto com ela, cresce a necessidade de tratamento odontológico, entretanto, não existem cirurgiões dentistas capacitados para atender tamanha demanda, o que torna os tratamentos, em sua maioria, provisórios e/ou paliativos. Para isso define-se essencial a correta instrução de higiene bucal, desde cedo, para todos, mas principalmente para pacientes com deficiência, pois prevê-se que uma vez instruídos corretamente, ficarão menos vulneráveis a atendimentos não eficazes. Objetivo: avaliar o grau de conhecimento sobre higiene bucal de pais e alunos da APAE e a partir das informações encontradas elaborar uma cartilha com instruções de higiene que será disponibilizada para fim informativo e preventivo, contribuindo para a qualidade de vida das pessoas com deficiência e seus familiares. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo com 154 pais e alunos estudantes da instituição APAE de Jaraguá do Sul. Aplicou-se questionário físico e online elaborado via Google Forms. Resultados: A deficiência mais presente entre os alunos participantes foi o autismo (47,40%); 37,01% afirmam que somente pais, responsáveis e cuidadores realizam a escovação desses alunos; 73,38% de quem realiza escovação já recebeu instruções corretas de como escovar, entretanto, 68,83% não faz o uso do fio dental no aluno; 46,75% realizam a escovação ao menos 3 vezes ao dia; 51,95% não apresentam dificuldade ao realizar a escovação no aluno, mas 42,86% apresenta. Conclusão: Pais e responsáveis afirmam ter conhecimento prévio sobre higiene, mas não realizam um dos passos fundamentais que é o uso do fio dental. A prevenção tem caráter importantíssimo entre as pessoas com deficiência. Com esse estudo percebe-se a necessidade de uma maior divulgação do conhecimento básico de higiene bucal aos pais e responsáveis atrelado ao estímulo de fixação da importância do dentista no tratamento multidisciplinar em pacientes com deficiência.
The number of people with disabilities grows every year, and along with it, the need for dental treatment. However, there are no dentists trained to meet this demand, which means that most treatments are provisional and/or palliative. Correct oral hygiene instruction from an early age is therefore essential for everyone, but especially for patients with disabilities, as it is expected that once correctly instructed, they will be less vulnerable to ineffective care. Objective: To assess the level of knowledge about oral hygiene among parents and students at APAE and, based on the information found, to create a booklet with hygiene instructions that will be made available for informational and preventive purposes, contributing to the quality of life of people with disabilities and their families. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out with 154 parents and students from the APAE institution in Jaraguá do Sul. A physical and online questionnaire was administered via Google forms. Results: The most present disability among the participating students was autism (47.40%); 37.01% claim that only parents, guardians and carers carry out the brushing of these students; 73.38% of those who carry out brushing have already received correct instructions on how to brush however, 68.83% do not floss their student; 46.75% carry out brushing at least 3 times a day; 51.95% have no difficulty when carrying out brushing on their student but 42.86% do. Conclusion: Parents and guardians claim to have prior knowledge about hygiene, but do not perform one of the fundamental steps, which is flossing. Prevention is extremely important for people with disabilities. This study reveals the need for greater dissemination of basic oral hygiene knowledge to parents and guardians, together with encouraging them to understand the importance of the dentist in the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with disabilities.
