Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate anxiety and pain related to dental treatment in children under the age of five years. This cross sectional study was carried out with 2,735 children of both sexes. Socioeconomic data, dental anxiety and dental pain experience, as well as the assessment of the child's oral health status, were obtained through a questionnaire answered by the child's parent or guardian. Dental anxiety was measured using the Dental Anxiety Question (DAQ). The prevalence of dental anxiety was 34.7% and that of dental pain was 9.1%. There was an association between these two variables (p < 0.0001). There was also an association between dental pain, age, family income and assessment of oral health status. The poorest rating of the child's oral health and the lowest family income were correlated with the highest percentages of a history of dental pain. Dental anxiety was related to a history of dental pain in children under the age of five years.
Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a ansiedade e a dor relacionadas ao tratamento odontológico em crianças menores de 5 anos de idade. Este estudo transversal foi realizado com uma amostra de 2.735 crianças, de ambos os sexos. Por meio da aplicação de um questionário em forma de entrevista com os pais ou responsáveis foram obtidas as seguintes informações: dados sócio-econômicos, ansiedade relacionada ao tratamento odontológico e a experiência de dor de dente, assim como a avaliação dos pais em relação à saúde bucal das crianças. A prevalência de ansiedade odontológica foi de 34,7% e o histórico de dor de dente foi 9,1%. Verificou-se associação entre essas duas variáveis (p < 0,0001). Observou-se também associação entre dor de dente, idade, renda familiar e a avaliação dos pais em relação à saúde bucal das crianças. Saúde bucal comprometida, assim como baixa renda familiar, foram correlacionadas com alta prevalência de histórico de dor de dente. A ansiedade odontológica estava associada ao histórico de dor de dente em crianças menores de 5 anos de idade.
