ABSTRACT

Introduction: Caries is a multifactorial disease that has been associated with deficient oral hygiene habits. The FDI Word Dental Federation establishes brushing with a fluoridated paste twice a day as the basic standard of personal oral hygiene. Objective: Describe the frequency of tooth decay and oral hygiene habits in a group of elderly. Material and methods: An observational, prolective, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in 74 elderly of the State of Mexico with an average age of 63.4 (± 5.9); 73% (54) female and 27% (20) male. The oral hygiene with the IHOS index, the cavity experience with the DMFT was assessed, and a questionnaire on oral hygiene habits was applied, which included the questions of frequency of brushing and flossing. Results: The tooth decay experience measured through the CPOD index for the total population was 20.0 (± 4.5); the highest category of the index was decayed with an average of 9.3 (± 6.0), to the analysis by sex it was observed that, 70% (38) of the women and 65% (13) of the men present more than six teeth with a carious lesión —no statistically significant differences were found—. To the question of how many times you brush your teeth, 32% (24) did not do it or did it only once a day, of these, 17 had ≥ 6 carious lesions. 94% (66) uses for tooth brushing, commercial pastes with fluoride; four ethereal, naturist paste like soap or detergent, bicarbonate; two senior adult uses only water. The evaluation of oral hygiene in 70% (52) of the elderly is classified as deficient; 20 senior adults —of whom 16 are women— report the use of dental floss. Conclusion: Oral hygiene habits in senior adults are still far from the pattern established by the FDI which contributes to the increase of oral diseases, including periodontal diseases and root decay which, together with systemic diseases contribute to deterioration of the quality of life of the elderly.
