Resumo:
O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar as taxas de edentulismo no Brasil e fazer projeções para os próximos anos. Os dados foram coletados de três censos nacionais de saúde bucal. O percentual de arcadas edêntulas foi calculado. Foram feitas projeções para 2020, 2030 e 2040, assumindo que o edentulismo segue uma função logística. Também foram realizadas projeções populacionais. A variação anual da proporção de arcadas edêntulas foi de -0,04% para jovens, -0,96% para adultos e 0,76% para idosos. Até 2040, o percentual de arcadas edêntulas será virtualmente zero entre jovens, 1,77% entre adultos e 85,96% entre idosos. O número de jovens vai diminuir levemente; o de adultos vai aumentar e depois diminuir; e o de idosos vai continuar aumentando. Para jovens e adultos, o número de arcadas edêntulas vai diminuir, aproximando-se de 616.000 em 2040. Para os idosos, este número vai aumentar alarmantemente, alcançando mais de 64 milhões em 2040. O edentulismo está diminuindo no Brasil entre jovens e adultos, mas está aumentando e continuará a aumentar nas próximas décadas entre os idosos.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the edentulism rates in Brazil and make projections for the next years. Data were collected from three national oral health surveys. The percentage of edentulous jaws was calculated. Projections were made for the years 2020, 2030 and 2040, assuming that edentulism follows a logistic function. Population projections were also performed. Annual change in proportion of edentulous jaws was -0.04% for teenagers, -0.96% for adults and 0.76% for the elderly. By 2040, edentulous jaws will be virtually zero among teenagers, 1.77% among adults and 85.96% among the elderly. Teenagers will slightly decrease in number; adults will increase and subsequently decrease; the elderly will continue to increase. In teenagers and adults, the number of edentulous jaws will decrease, being approximately 616,000 in 2040. In the elderly, it will increase alarmingly, reaching over 64 million in 2040. Edentulism is declining in Brazil among teenagers and middle-aged adults, but is still increasing and will continue to increase for the next decades among the elderly.
