Abstract:

Introduction: Oral diseases are an important public health problem due to their significant prevalence in all ages. Methods: Global Burden of Disease study for dental caries, edentulism and periodontal disease. The indicator used was DALY, which simultaneously measures the impact of mortality and the impact of health problems that affect the quality of life. The Global Burden of Oral Diseases was analysed in absolute terms and in rates per 1000 inhabitants. Results: The number of YLD lost due to dental caries was 4.489. An estimated 33,888 YLD were lost due to edentulism, with a rate of 1.8/1000 (2.2/1000 among women). An estimated 3217 YLD were lost due to periodontal disease, with a rate of 0.2/1000 for both sexes. Conclusions: Edentulism was the condition that contributed the most to the Global Burden of Oral Diseases, being more frequent in women. Higher rates of edentulism and periodontal disease were found in persons aged 45-69 years, while dental caries were more frequent from 15-49 years. Global Burden of Disease studies represent an important aspect of health diagnosis, integrating both fatal and non-fatal outcomes. Furthermore, these studies provide highly relevant information for preventive and therapeutic policy making.
