Aim: To recognize the sociodemographic profile and the periodontal health condition of individuals diagnosed with Down syndrome.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study involving individuals diagnosed with Down syndrome in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. The collection of sociodemographic data was carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire applied to caregivers. The clinical examination was performed in a clinical setting. The sample was non-probabilistic, for convenience (n = 20). Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. For categorical variables, absolute and percentage frequencies were calculated, for quantitative variables, measures of central tendency and variability were calculated. The analyzes were performed with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics software version 20.0.
Results: There was a parity among the individuals surveyed in relation to sex, 60% were white, and the average age was 24.6 years (SD = 7.08), with a family income of 2.47 minimum wages (SD = 3.57). Oral hygiene is performed by the individual (89.5%), using a toothbrush and toothpaste (68.4%), twice a day (50%). Most interviewees have already visited the dentist (84.2%), more than 4x (66.7%), less than 6 months ago (53.3%), only in the private sector (50.0%), the main reason for the consultation being prevention (31.3%). It was observed that the average plaque index was high (89.53%). The average bleeding rate on probing was 39.93%, and the average probing depth was 2.09 mm.
Conclusion: Studies with groups of individuals with DS who have continuous and systematic preventive dental care have demonstrated an effective improvement in periodontal health dental care, have demonstrated an effective improvement in periodontal health.
