No. of bitstreams: 1 458717.pdf: 2249138 bytes, checksum: fec58079c44effe79ace3faa7a06fc48 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-03-27 === INTRODUCTION: According to the Brazilian census of 2010, the elderly population has increased by 43.3%, while the population of the oldest old grew 72%. The literature is scarce regarding the oral health of the elderly and virtually no studies that address the oral health of elderly people 80 years and over in Brazil. Considering the high number of not only the elderly, but also the oldest old (80 years and older), this study aims to estimate the oral health status of the oldest old. METHODS: This is a quantitative, descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 38 oldest old. We assessed self-perceived general and oral health and clinical oral conditions. RESULTS: Majority of them were women (71.1%), mean age of 89.1 years (?4.5). Participants reported having on average three morbidities (?2.3) and used an average of 3.9 medications (?2.8). The oldest old consider their oral health as poor (60.6%). They mostly used Denture, both in the upper arch (76.3%) and in the lower jaw (39.6%), and exhibit a high level of need for prostheses (81.6%). The mean DMFT (Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth) was 29.2 with a component of teeth lost 84%. The oldest old have a significant demand for periodontal treatment. Vast majority of the oldest old in this study reported symptoms of xerostomia. CONCLUSION: The data obtained in this study show the marks left by time and lack of access and knowledge about oral care in this age group. === INTRODU??O: Segundo dados do censo brasileiro de 2010, a popula??o idosa aumentou em 43,3%, sendo que a popula??o de longevos cresceu 72%. A literatura ? escassa em rela??o ? sa?de bucal dos idosos e praticamente inexistem estudos que contemplem a sa?de bucal de idosos acima de 80 anos no Brasil. Considerando o n?mero elevado n?o apenas de idosos, mas tamb?m de longevos (idosos acima de 80 anos), este estudo pretende estimar as condi??es de sa?de bucal dos longevos. M?TODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal quantitativo, descritivo e anal?tico. A amostra foi composta por 38 idosos de 80 anos ou mais. Avaliou-se a autopercep??o de sa?de geral e bucal e as condi??es cl?nicas de sa?de bucal. RESULTADOS: Maioria eram mulheres longevas (71,1%), m?dia de idade de 89,1 anos (?4,5). Os longevos referiram ter, em m?dia, tr?s morbidades (?2,3) e utilizavam em m?dia 3,9 medicamentos (?2,8). Os longevos consideraram a sua sa?de bucal como sendo ruim (60,6%). Os longevos em sua maioria usava Pr?tese Total, tanto na arcada superior (76,3%) quanto na arcada inferior (39,6%), e apresentavam um alto ?ndice de necessidade de pr?tese (81,6%). O CPOD (n?mero de Dentes Perdidos, Cariados e Obturados) m?dio foi de 29,2 com um componente de dentes perdidos de 84%. Os longevos apresentavam uma demanda importante de tratamento periodontal. Grande maioria dos longevos deste estudo referiram sintomas de xerostomia. CONCLUS?O: Os dados obtidos nesta pesquisa mostram as marcas deixadas pelo tempo e pela falta de acesso e conhecimento sobre cuidados bucais nesta faixa et?ria.
