| Özet: | This study aimed to identify the prevalence of the use and the consumption pattern of oral health preventive supplies by the population of two cities with similar demographic characteristics and different oral health status, as well as factors associated with their use. The study was individual, observational and analytical sectional with comparison group. The survey took place in the cities of Natal/RN and Florianópolis/SC. The sample consisted of 963 individuals, divided between both cities, from the age of 20 and up. The sampling was by quotas and the collection was through questionnaires structured with information of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, usage habits and consumption of oral health preventive supplies and possible associated factors. The interviews took place in busy locations in both cities. The data were submitted to chi-square statistical test and logistic regression type stepwise forward. For all tests it was adopted a 5% significance level. The use of toothbrush and dentifrice was made by 100% of the sample and about 70.0% use them 3 or more times daily. The use of dental floss was 66.0% for Natal/RN and 81.5% for Florianópolis/SC. And the use of mouthwash was 52.9% and 59.3% for Natal/RN and Florianópolis/SC, respectively. The predominant frequency of use in both cases was once a day. The results of Florianópolis/SC were better in the categories socioeconomic status and hygiene habits. There was an association between the use of dental floss and the fact that individuals resided in Florianópolis/SC, were female, were married, were in the age group of 40-49 years, had a higher level of education, attended private dental service, performed oral hygiene more times daily and did not report toothache in the previous six months. The variables associated with the use of mouthwash were predominantly those representing the socio-economic condition of the individual, those in better condition were the ones who most used this product. In conclusion, the socioeconomic status represented by yhe access to health services and the education level, were the main determinants of the oral hygiene habits of the sample. |
