A média de idade dos pacientes atendidos foi de 8,6 anos, 51,5 % eram do gênero feminino e 76,1% tinham cor de pele branca. Os principais motivos que fizeram os pacientes procurarem atendimento foram avaliação ortodôntica em 31,1% dos casos, avaliação de rotina em 21,2%. O motivo dor foi citado em 11,9%. As necessidades odontológicas mais freqüentes entre os pacientes avaliados foram: tratamento restaurador em 65,7%, correções ortodônticas em 38,8% e exodontias em 21,4%. Observou-se que 29% das crianças estavam livres de cárie, não necessitando de qualquer tipo de tratamento curativo. Com a avaliação das radiografias panorâmicas, pudemos observar que os achados mais comuns foram agenesias dentárias em 4,2%, anomalia de forma ou tamanho em 1,5% e presença de supranumerários em 0,9% das radiografias. Conclui-se que os pacientes infantis atendidos na FOP-UNICAMP são, predominantemente, do gênero feminino e de cor branca. A maioria tem necessidades na área de dentística e ortodontia, tendo como achados radiográficos mais freqüentes as alterações de número, forma e tamanho dentais / Abstract: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the dental care needs of pediatric patients with age ranged from 3 to 12 years. A total of 1.000 clinical charts and panoramic radiographies performed by the Screening/ Semiology Piracicaba Dental School. UNICAMP were reviewed, from March 1997 to April 2005. The mean age of the patients was 8.6 years old, 51.5% were female and 76.1% had white skin color. The main complaints of the patients were orthodontic evaluation (31.5%), check up visit (21.2%) and pain (11.9%). The most frequent dental care needs were restorative procedure (65.7%) followed by orthodontic correction (38.8%) and dental extraction (21.4%). Twenty nine percent of the children were carie free and they did not need any curative care. The panoramic screening examination revealed that the major findings were dental agenesy (4.2%), dental anomaly of shape or size (1.5%) and the presence of supernumerary teeth (0.9%). We conclude that pediatric patients who were attended at FOP-UNICAMP are predominantly female and white. The majority needs restorative and orthodontic care, and the most usual radiographic findings are dental anomalies of number, size or shape / Mestrado / Estomatologia / Mestre em Estomatopatologia
