ABSTRACT

Objective. To evaluate through functional teeth index, the impact in schoolchildren in communities with and without dental community support. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out in communities with dental care provided by dental clinics of Sinaloa State University. The study sample was 2,083 schoolchildren. We used the criteria proposed by WHO for the index of decayed, missing- teeth (DMFT) for permanent dentition, index for primary teeth (dmft) and the rate of functional teeth (RFT). For bivariate analysis, the nonparametric tests Pearson χ2 and Mann-Whitney U were used. Results. The comparisons of DMFT (0.20) and RFT (13.95) of children with and DMFT (0.43) and RFT (14.82) of children without community dental support showed statistical significant difference (p ‹ 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in DMFT and RFT between samples with and without community dental support (p ‹ 0.05). The age showed a statistically significant difference between the DMFT and dmft (p ‹ 0.05). Primary dentition required more dental care than permanent dentition. There was access for dental treatment, but it is not used for the population. Conclusions. The RFT provided precise information than DMFT, mainly due to register the changes of actions focused to recover the teeth function in the oral cavity.
