Abstract

Background: There is a lack of studies evaluating the oral health of traditional indigenous communities in Brazil.

Objectives: Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the oral health characteristics of the indigenous Fulni-ô ethnic group in Northeast Brazil.

Design and setting: A cross-sectional observational investigation was conducted within the Project on Atherosclerosis among Indigenous Populations.

Methods: This study included participants of both sexes from the Fulni-ô ethnic group. The participants included in this investigation underwent a comprehensive oral health evaluation by a registered and experienced dentist to assess oral health and identify potentially malignant oral lesions. Participants with suspicious lesions were referred for biopsy. Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney, and Student's t-tests were used, and measures of central tendency and dispersion were described. Statistical significance was 5%.

Results: A total of 104 individuals were included in this study. The prevalence of the use of tobacco derivatives was 94.0%, with similarities between sexes. The prevalence of oral changes in this study population was 84.4%. Fifty-one individuals who underwent oral reassessment were referred for oral lesion biopsy.

Conclusions: This study demonstrated a high prevalence of oral alterations in the Fulni-ô population. Histopathological analyses indicated the presence of mild oral epithelial dysplasia in five cases.

巴西东北部土著人口的口腔健康:富尔尼族的横断面研究。
背景:缺乏对巴西传统土著社区口腔健康状况的评估研究,本研究的目的是描述巴西东北部土著Fulniô民族的口腔健康特征。设计和环境:在土著居民动脉粥样硬化项目中进行了一项横断面观察性调查。方法:本研究包括Fulnió民族的两性参与者。本次调查的参与者由注册且经验丰富的牙医进行了全面的口腔健康评估,以评估口腔健康并确定潜在的恶性口腔病变。有可疑病变的参与者被转诊进行活检。使用Shapiro-Wilk、Mann-Whitney和Student的t检验,并描述了中心趋势和离散度的测量。统计显著性为5%。结果:本研究共纳入104名个体。烟草衍生物的使用率为94.0%,性别之间存在相似性。本研究人群中口腔病变的发生率为84.4%。51名接受口腔再评估的患者被转诊进行口腔病变活检。结论:这项研究表明富尔尼人群中口腔改变的发生率很高。组织病理学分析显示5例患者存在轻度口腔上皮发育不良。
