Abstract

Aim: To evaluate alcohol intake as a factor associated with dental trauma in adolescents.

Methods: This work is a cross-sectional case-control study was carried out with 160 adolescents, aged 14 to 19 years, from public and private schools, divided into 2 groups: G1 –group with dental trauma and G2 – control group. A questionnaire was applied to each participant concerning the epidemiological data. Later, a second questionnaire was applied only to students exposed to alcohol in order to find detailed information about consumption. The clinical examination was then performed on the entire sample. Dental traumas were those detected by touch and vision. Evaluations of means and standard deviations were performed for quantitative variables. Percentages and frequencies were obtained by performing an analysis of association between qualitative variables using the chi-square test and comparing the mean age using the t test (p < 0.05).

Results: Based on data collected from 160 adolescents, it was possible to observe a rate of 34.37% (n = 55) of adolescents with dental trauma. As for the distribution of alcohol consumption, it was observed that 20 of these 55 adolescents used alcohol regularly.

Conclusion: In adolescents, aged 14 to 18 years, who consumed alcoholic beverages, the prevalence of dental trauma (DT) was 33.3%, with a predominance found in females. There was an association between alcohol consumption and DT at ages between 16 and 18 years. In a private school, 70% of the cases of DT associated with the use of alcoholic beverages were observed.
