O objetivo do estudo é abordar estratégias usadas em diferentes países que promovem o acesso aos fluoretos para as populações indígenas. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico de artigos disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed e Bireme, entre 2007    e 2017, em língua inglesa, com os descritores: Indigenous Population, Flourides e Dental Caries. Foram encontrados 98 artigos. Através de uma leitura crítica dos títulos e resumos foram selecionados 10 relevantes ao tema: 4 estudos observacionais, 3 ensaios clínicos e 3 ensaios comunitários. Artigos de revisão, protocolos de pesquisa e os que não estavam adequados ao objetivo do trabalho foram excluídos. Os povos indígenas estão entre os grupos mais socioeconomicamente marginalizados nos países em que ainda estão presentes. A saúde oral dessa população remete a um cenário de alta prevalência de doenças bucais, principalmente a cárie. Por ser uma doença multifatorial, a cárie requer um programa de combate que inclua diferentes estratégias. Uma das principais formas de prevenção é o uso de flúor tópico ou sistêmico. Entretanto, o acesso a esse recurso pela população indígena é, muitas vezes, dificultado. Em países como Austrália, Canadá e Estados Unidos as estratégias incluem a ampliação da fluoretação das águas (≤0.5 mg/L) para áreas remotas, múltiplas aplicações de verniz de flúor e selantes, assim como fornecimento de dentifrícios fluoretados (0,243% de fluoreto de sódio). Os estudos apontaram essas estratégias como uma opção sustentável para a redução de cáries nesse grupo e de gastos para os sistemas de saúde.Palavras-chave: População Indígena. Fluoretos.

Aim: The present study sought to investigate dental caries experience and its association with sociodemographic, postnatal and breastfeeding variables in children in the agerange from 6 to 71 months of age, in the Xingu Indigenous Park, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study that used secondary data pertaining to 402 indigenous children of the Low, Middle and Eastern Xingu regions, who participated in the Oral Health Epidemiological Survey in 2013. The dependent variable was dental caries, dichotomized by the median (dmf-t≤1 and dmf-t>1). The data of independent variables were obtained by means of instruments of the Local Health Information System of the Xingu Indigenous Special Sanitary District (DSEI). Raw analyses were performed to test the association of the independent variables with the dependent variable. The variables were tested in the multiple logistic regression model. Results: The mean value of the dmf-t index was 2.60 and the prevalence of affected children was 51%. In the multiple analysis, only children older than 36 months (OR: 6.64; CI95%: 4.11 to 10.73) and those that were breastfed for a longer period of time (OR: 1.88; CI95%: 1.16 to 3.02) showed significant association with the dmf-t>1 index. Conclusion: Childhood dental caries among indigenous children was associated with age and breastfeeding prolonged for over 26 months, therefore, pointing out the need to offer dental follow-up care at earlier ages.

Epidemiological Profile

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The epidemiological profile of dental caries for Indigenous Peoples is complex and heterogeneous. The oral health of the Kaingang people, third largest Indigenous population from Brazil, has not been investigated so far. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and severity of dental caries, in addition to the associated factors of the need of dental extraction among Kaingang adult Indigenous. Methods: A cross-sectional oral health survey was conducted among Kaingang adults aged from 35 to 44 years old living in the Guarita Indigenous Land, Rio Grande do Sul. Clinical exams were performed to analyze the conditions of dental crown and treatment needs. Results: A total of 107 Indigenous adults were examined. Mean DMFT score was 14.45 (± 5.80). Two-thirds of the DMFT score accounted for missing teeth. Anterior lower dentition presented the highest rates of sound teeth, whereas the lower first molars had the lowest. Need for dental extraction was observed in 34.58% and was associated with village location, time of last dental visit, and higher number of decayed teeth. Conclusion: The high frequencies of caries and missing teeth observed in this population indicate a lack of adequate assistance. It is essential to discuss health care models in order to combat avoidable social and health injustices.

This study evaluated the self-perception of adolescents' oral health and their oral conditions and the need for treatment in relation to dental caries. An epidemiological survey was carried out in the municipality of Belém, Pará, Brazil, in 2018. The sample consisted of 200 students, aged 11 to 16 years old, from a full-time public school. The data were collected through a questionnaire where their self-perception of their oral health was assessed and an intra-oral examination was carried out to assess oral health conditions in relation to dental caries, using the Dental Caries Index and need for treatment (ICDNT). The data analysis was based on the Chi-square test, and when the npq <5 restriction occurred, Fisher's exact test was applied. The comparison between quantitative variables was performed using the Student's t test. The average DMFT index was 3.57, with only 17% of the studied population free of caries. The carious component was the one with the greatest significance (3.14) and the need for treatment with the highest prevalence was the restoration of one face (47.5%). A percentage of 88.5% of the adolescents evaluated answered that they did not take a toothbrush to school. The studied sample had a moderate prevalence of caries compared to the parameters recommended by the WHO, but above the standard obtained in the national survey carried out in 2010. Therefore, it is necessary to implement measures aimed at improving the quality of oral health of these adolescents and a full-time system would be a ideal for implementing good habits and routines for the adolescent’s oral health.
