Abstract:

The aim of this article is to characterize indigenous people aged 18 to 23 of the Xukuru do Ororubá ethnic group, PE/Brazil, in terms of the use of dental services, self-perception of oral health, oral hygiene practices and caries experience, socioeconomic and demographic aspects. This is a population-based cross-sectional study, nested within a cohort study that began in 2010 and was carried out in the Indigenous Territory in 2018. Oral examinations and questionnaires were conducted with 131 indigenous people. The data was collected using Epi-Info® software and the SPSS 20.0® statistical program was used for descriptive statistics. R® software was used to compare the caries experience results obtained with the National Oral Health Survey (SB Brasil 2010). The average caries experience verified by the DMFT Index was 7,4 (SD=5,1), with the average of the Index components corresponding to 22,8 for healthy teeth, 2,4 for decayed teeth, 0,2 for filled/carious teeth, 3,5 for filled teeth and 1,4 for missing teeth. The oral health condition of indigenous people is characterized by significant inequality when compared to the results of epidemiological surveys carried out in the country involving other population groups.
