O objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer a prevalência da dor de dente e fatores associados na população de crianças de 3 e 4 anos de idade, residentes na região oeste do município de São Paulo, SP. A dor de dente foi associada à prevalência da cárie dentária, necessidade de tratamento, condições socioeconômicas e o impacto na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde Bucal (QVRSB) das crianças. Para isso foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico transversal de saúde bucal, no mês de novembro de 2014. A amostra de 485 crianças foi determinada pela fórmula de Kirkwood (1988). Os dados sobre a presença de dor de dente, prevalência e gravidade de cárie dentária, necessidade de tratamento, aspectos socioeconômicos e de qualidade de vida da criança e dos pais foram coletados durante o dia de Campanha Nacional de Multivacinação Infantil. As crianças foram selecionadas de forma sistemática na fila de vacinação. O Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido foi assinado pelos responsáveis legais dos participantes. Agentes comunitários treinados coletaram dados sobre a presença de dor de dente por cárie dentária utilizando a versão brasileira do Dental Discomfort Questionnaire (DDQ-B), dados socioeconômicos e dados de qualidade de vida pela versão brasileira do Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS). Posteriormente, as crianças foram examinadas em consultórios odontológicos de 15 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBSs) por 15 cirurgiões-dentistas treinados e calibrados para o diagnóstico de cárie dentária pelos indíces ceo-d e para coletar as necessidades de tratamento pelos critérios da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente utilizando regressão de Poisson com variância robusta (IC 95%) para associar o desfecho do escore total do DDQ-B com prevalência de cárie dentária, necessidade de tratamento e condições socioeconômicas. Como análise complementar foi feita a associação do desfecho qualidade de vida com a presença de dor de dente. Na população estudada foi encontrada uma prevalência de dor de dente de 11,8% considerado o ponto de corte maior ou igual a 3 no escore total do DDQ-B e foi associada com a presença de cárie dentária (RTR=1,85; p<0.001). A média ± desvio padrão do DDQ-B total da amostra foi 0,81 ± 1,46. Dentre as necessidades de tratamento, a necessidade de tratamento pulpar com restauração foi a única necessidade de tratamento associada à dor de dente (RTR = 2,81; p < 0,001). As condições socioeconômicas não foram associadas com a dor de dente (p> 0,05). Adicionalmente, a baixa gravidade (ceo-d entre 1 e 5) e a alta gravidade de cárie dentária (ceo-d >=6), tanto quanto os maiores níveis de dor, foram associados a uma pior QVRSB em pré-escolares e suas famílias (RTR= 3,86, p<0,001; RTR= 9,17, p<0,001 e RTR=1,38, p<0,001, respectivamente). Portanto, na população estudada, a dor de dente é associada a presença de cárie dentária, necessidade de tratamento pulpar com restauração, e pior QVRSB em pré-escolares e suas famílias. / The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of dental pain and associated factors in preschool children 3-4 years old, living in the western district of São Paulo City, Brazil. Dental pain was associated with prevalence of dental caries, treatment needs, socioeconomic status and the impact on the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in preschool children. In November 2014, a cross-sectional epidemiological study of dental caries was carried on. Representative sample of 485 children was calculated by Kirkwood formula (1988). Data on dental pain prevalence, caries prevalence and severity, dental treatment needs, socioeconomic status and impact on OHRQoL were collected during the Children´s Multivaccination National Campaign Day. Children were selected systematically in the vaccination queue. The Informed Consent was signed by the participant´s parents. Trained external interviewer collected data on dental pain related to caries using the Brazilian version of Dental Discomfort Questionnaire (DDQ-B), data on socioeconomic status, and data on quality of life using the Brazilian version of Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) . After that, the children were examined in dental units of the 15 health centers, by 15 trained dentists. Dental caries was assessed according to the dmf-t criteria. The codes and criteria for dental treatment needs were those based on the WHO manual. Data analyses were performed using Poisson regression (95% CI) to associate the total DDQ-B scores to dental caries prevalence, treatment needs and socioeconomic conditions. A complementary analysis assessed the association between dental pain and impact on quality of life. In the population studied, the prevalence of dental pain was 11.8%, considering the cut-off point greater than or equal to 3 in the total DDQ-B score and it was associated with caries prevalence (RR = 1.85; p <0.001). The mean ± standard deviation of total DDQ-B was 0.81 ± 1.46. Regarding dental treatment needs, the need for pulp treatment with restoration was the only treatment need associated with dental pain (RR = 2.81, p <0.001). Socioeconomic factors were not associated to dental pain (p> 0.05). In addition, the low (dmf-t between 1 and 5 ) and high caries severity (dmft >=6), as the highest pain levels; were associated with a worse OHRQoL in preschool children and their families (RR= 3.86, p<0.001; RR= 9.17, p<0.001 e RR=1.38, p<0.001, respectively). Therefore, in this population, dental pain was associated with caries prevalence, need for pulp treatment with restoration, and a worse oral health-related quality of life in preschool children and their families.

Magister Chirurgiae Dentium (MChD) / AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Most children presenting to dental clinics have pain of varying intensity that usually, has been endured for long periods of time. A study done at Cardiff in the United Kingdom, found that only 15% of children that had dental pain visited the dentist. Therefore, understanding the motivations of patients in seeking health care is vital to the quality of life in the family and community and to the success of any oral health planning process. This study explored factors influencing the time between the initial pain experience and definitive dental treatment, that is, the time lapse. It assessed how factors such as pain, individual and community characteristics affect the timing of dental visits. METHOD: Parents or guardians accompanying children visiting two community dental clinics in Guguletu and Mitchells Plain in the Western Cape were asked to indicate how factors such as severity and duration of pain, efficacy of self-treatment, and impact on parents affected the decision to seek treatment. A total of one hundred and twenty six parents were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The English questionnaire was translated into Xhosa and Afrikaans and used with the help of interpreters when necessary. Children attending these community dental clinics for treatment on a particular morning were included in the study sample. Children up to thirteen years of age (primary, mixed, and early permanent dentition) comprised the study sample. Only children that had a dental problem were included in the study. Children that were not accompanied by a parent or guardian were excluded. RESULTS: Close to half the children (43 - 45%) had never been to the dentist before. Parents from Mitchells Plain knew earlier of their children's dental problems (most knew14 days before visit) than those from Guguletu where most knew within the last 7 days. However, Guguletu children were presented to the dentist sooner after the painful experience (69.2% within 7 days) than Mitchells Plain where only 48.3% were presented within the same period. It was found that for these communities, the distance from the clinic, the mode of transport, and the fares charged greatly influenced dental attendance. Most families lived within 3km, and walked (more prevalent in Guguletu) or rode a taxi (more prevalent in Mitchells Plain). With taxi the most prevalent mode of transport, money was an important factor of dental attendance. Long queues at the clinic and waiting long for appointments, were cited by parents as the major hindrances to attendance. While a worsening of pain, loss of sleep and sensitivity to chewing hastened dental attendance, parental work commitment and the child's school delayed it. Most families (79%) tried some treatment at home prior to the dental visit. The remedies offered such as Disprin®, direct placement of crushed Disprin® and Panado® were a concern because they were potentially harmful. Both communities were in the low socio-economic class with Guguletu consistently the poorer of the two. They both had disrupted family life as reflected by the low rates of married parents. CONCLUSION: In the presence of pain Guguletu children were presented to the dentist sooner than those of Mitchells Plain. Accessibility of the clinics was a real concern especially in Guguletu. There was rampant inappropriate use of medications such as aspirin and antibiotics. The greatest impact of the child's pain on the parents was on affected sleep. The non-regular attendance pattern of the children closely followed that of the parents.
