LORENZO-ERRO, Susana Margarita; ALVAREZ, Ramón; FABRUCCINI, Anunzziatta  e  MASSA, Fernando. Oral health and noncommunicable diseases in patients at a higher education institution. Montevideo, Uruguay. Part 2. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.37, e202.  Epub 30-Abr-2021. ISSN 0797-0374.  https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2021n37a2.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) share behavioral and metabolic risk factors with oral diseases. Both are also public health issues.

Objective:

To determine the prevalence of caries, gum conditions, and tooth loss in patients treated at UdelaR’s School of Dentistry.

Methods:

A sample of individuals treated at the School of Dentistry answered a questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics and habits related to behavioral risk factors. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and capillary blood glucose were recorded, and an oral exam was performed.

Results:

Six hundred and two individuals were surveyed. The average DMFT was 16, the prevalence of untreated caries, 72.8%, and the prevalence of periodontitis, 42.9%.

Conclusions:

We recommend implementing a joint preventive-care program run by the School of Dentistry and the health area of UDELAR that integrates the promotion and prevention of oral and noncommunicable diseases.
