Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Estimate the prevalence and gravity of coronal dental caries for populations of adolescents, adults and elderly people.METHODS: For the crossing of data of the average DMF rates by Regional Health Directorate (RHD) with the digital cartographical base, municipals were grouped by RHD, and the connection between the two bases was formed by a common code or “primary key” in the TerraView® software program (version 4.2.1).RESULTS: The distribution of the DMF average for the teen population was the worst for RHD 8, while RHDs 4, 7 and 14 had lower averages. For the adult population, RHDs 4 and 12 presented the lowest DMF averages. On the other hand, RHDs 8, 13, and 16 had the worst results. For the elderly population, the RHD 4 presented the lowest average, and RHD 9 the highest DMF rate for this population.CONCLUSION: The differences in DMF averages among the RHDs and the populations studied showed that it is necessary to plan different locoregional oral health actions to face the severe clinical state exposed, since its spatial distribution is disparate, with concentrations of cases in certain regions for all age groups studied.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. The Revista Odonto Ciência is a peer-reviewed journal published online (ISSN 1980-6523), four times per year, supported by the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul – Dental School since 1986. Its abbreviation is Rev Odonto Cienc, which should be used in references, bibliographic legends, and footnotes. The Revista Odonto Ciência is an international scientific journal dedicated to provide a forum for academics, researchers, and practitioners to communicate relevant basic, clinical, education, and epidemiological studies in Dentistry and related fields. The Journal seeks to publish articles on new conceptual models, innovative technology, alternative procedures or treatment to reduce disease burden in the general population or specific groups, thus contributing to translating science into practice and social development. Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered for publication: 1) original research reports of basic and applied oral sciences, epidemiological, and education studies; 2) review article; 3) case report. The Revista Odonto Ciência only accepts manuscripts written in English. Manuscripts submitted to this journal should not have been published before nor have publication pending elsewhere.
