Resumo:
O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de perdas dentárias e fatores associados em adultos de 20 a 59 anos de idade em áreas rurais do estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com uma amostra aleatória de 568 indivíduos. O número de perdas dentárias (≤ 12 e > 12) foi o desfecho investigado. As variáveis independentes foram: características sociodemográficas, condições subjetivas relacionadas à saúde bucal, impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida através do Oral Health Impact Profile na sua versão reduzida (OHIP-14) e utilização de serviços odontológicos. Foram estimadas as razões de prevalência bruta e ajustada através de regressão de Poisson. A prevalência de pelo menos uma perda dentária entre os indivíduos da amostra foi de 91,4%. Perdas dentárias foram fortemente associadas à faixa etária, à autopercepção da saúde bucal e ao impacto da saúde bucal na qualidade de vida. A alta prevalência de perdas dentárias em adultos em áreas rurais confirma a necessidade de haver uma reorientação dos serviços públicos odontológicos voltados para esse contingente populacional.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of tooth loss and associated factors among Brazilian adults aged 20 to 59 years in rural areas in Pernambuco State, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a random sample of 568 participants. The number of lost teeth (≤ 12 and > 12) was the outcome. The independent variables were as follows: sociodemographic characteristics, subjective oral health conditions, impact of oral health on quality of life using the short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), and use of dental services. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using a Poisson regression model. The prevalence of subjects with at least one tooth lost was 91.4%. Tooth loss was strongly associated with age, self-perceived oral health and oral health impact on quality of life. The high prevalence of tooth loss among Brazilian adults in rural areas shows a need for a reorientation of public dental services aimed at this population.
