RESUMO

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os ¡solados de S. mutans da saliva em nove familias, atendidas pelo PSF de Curitiba, e compará-los ao padráo de desenvolvimento da doenca e condicóes socioeconómicas. A análise microbiológica da saliva foi realizada, por estimativa de UFC/ml e bioquimismo. A análise epidemiológica foi realizada (CPO-D e ceo-d), com investigacáo do consumo de sacarose e higiene bucal. Detectou-se a presenca S. muíans (88%) e S. sobrinas (12%). Métodos estatísticos multivariados foram utilizados, estando a carie ativa fortemente correlacionada ao alto consumo de sacarose, alta concentracáo de UFC/ml de saliva e multicolonizacáo por S. mutans. Nao houve correlacáo entre renda e epidemiología da doenca, porém o fator escolaridade dos pais apresentou relacáo significativa e positiva com baixo consumo de sacarose. DESCRITORES: Streptococcus mutans, Carie, Análise multivariada.

ABSTRACT

The goal of the present study was to evaluate isolates of S. mutans in the saliva of nine families that were patients of the PSF of Curitiba, and to compare them according to severity of disease and socio-economic level of the family. A microbiological analysis of the saliva was conducted through an estimate of CFUs/mL, and biochemism. An epidemiological analysis was carried out (CPO-D and ceo-d), and studying saccharose consumption and mouth hygiene. S. mutans (88%) and S. sobrinus (12%) were detected. Through the multivariate analysis active caries was strongly associated with high saccharose consumption, high concentration and multicolonization by S. mutans. There was no correlation between family income and the epidemiology of the disease, although the education level of the parents was strongly associated with saccharose consumption. DESCRIPTORS: Streptococcus mutans, Caries, Multivariate analysis.
