Resumo:
A presença de restos radiculares é um achado clínico comum entre os idosos e pode refletir necessidades de tratamento. O objetivo desse e estudo foi analisar a associação entre a presença de restos radiculares e autopercepção de saúde bucal por idosos. Foram analisados dados secundários de dois distritos sanitários de Porto Alegre-RS, com base em um modelo teórico conceitual para investigar fatores relacionados com autopercepção de saúde bucal: gênero, idade, escolaridade, situação marital, hábito tabágico, hábito etílico, procura por cuidados em saúde bucal, participação em grupos, renda familiar suficiente, serviço de saúde bucal acessado, número de dentes e presença de restos radiculares. Os dados foram analisados por testes de Qui-quadrado e Regressão de Poisson (IC 95%; α 5%). A amostra foi composta por 849 idosos com idade média de 69,7 anos (± 7,2); 14,5% dos idosos tinham restos radiculares mantidos em boca e 60,7% referiram sua percepção de saúde bucal como boa. A análise hierárquica mostrou associação entre a ausência de restos radiculares e a autopercepção positiva de saúde bucal. A qualificação e ampliação da oferta do cuidado continuado devem ser pensadas, para permitir ações que garantam a manutenção de boas condições de saúde bucal para a população idosa.

Abstract:
The presence of tooth root remains is a common clinical finding among elderly patients and this may reflect the need for treatment. This study aimed to explore the association between tooth root remains and self-reported oral health in the elderly. For this, secondary data from two sanitary districts of Porto Alegre-RS were analyzed. A conceptual theoretical model was used in the analysis to assess the factors related to self-perceived oral health: gender, age, education, marital status, smoking habit, alcohol consumption, demand for oral health care, participation in community groups, family economic self-sufficiency, oral health service accessed, number of teeth and presence of tooth root remains. Chi-square tests and Poisson regression (95% CI; α 5%) were used to the statistical data analysis. The sample consisted of 849 older adults, mean age of 69.7 years (± 7.2); 14.5% of the elderly had tooth root remains kept in mouth and 60.7% reported good oral health self-perceived. According to the hierarchical analysis, the absence of tooth root remains was associated with good oral health perception. The qualification and expansion of health care provided should be considered in order to allow planning actions to ensure the maintenance of good oral health for the elderly.
