SUMMARY:

Objective: The study aims to understand the knowledge, preference and need for dental care (AOD), especially for the elderly population, in addition to identifying the oral health condition of the elderly living and its associated factors. Methodology: These are two web surveys, the first with the educated adult population and the second with the elderly population. In addition, a study was also carried out with secondary data from medical records of elderly people who used some home dental care service to identify their oral health condition. In the three studies, descriptive analysis, chi-square test and robust Poisson regression were performed with a significance level of 5%. elderly in relation to dental and rehabilitation status. Results: In the first study, 443 respondents participated, whose predominance was women (67.9%) and aged between 31 and 40 years (38.8%). Most participants (69.5%) do not know what home dental care is. The fact of being a woman and a health professional directly influences the knowledge of this type of care. In the second study, 203 elderly people participated, 67% of whom were women, aged between 60 and 69 years. The majority of this population is not familiar with home dentistry (79.8%), has never used this type of service (95.6%) and prefers to be seen in a dental office (68.5%). There was a significant association between knowing about home dentistry and having a medical health plan. It was also observed that those elderly who do not have health insurance and with a lower level of education prefer to be cared for at home in relation to the traditional office. In the third study, 207 medical records of the elderly were evaluated, whose predominant sex was female (58.5%), aged between 80 and 89 years and partially dependent for basic activities of daily living. Regarding oral health status, the mean DMFT was 23.5, with 3.35 pairs in occlusion, 75.8% of whom were functional edentulous. In the medical records, 53.6% of the elderly had bleeding on probing in some sextant and about 20% had a mouth lesion. Patients with more injuries were younger elderly, diabetics and those who had been to the dentist for a longer period of time. Regarding the periodontal issue, younger patients, single residents and whites have more bleeding on probing. Regarding the dental and rehabilitation condition, two clusters were produced, the first with edentulous and poorly rehabilitated elderly and the second with more dentate and rehabilitated elderly. Black elderly people who do not have health insurance were more present in the first cluster. Conclusion: The general and elderly population knows little and realizes that they need home dental care. As a result, the more independent elderly population still prefers to be seen in the office. Furthermore, the oral health condition of patients who use home dental care is still precarious, as a result of mutilating dental care, characterizing the scenario of social inequality among elderly people living in domicile.
