FLUOROSIS, DENTAL, ADOLESCENT, ESTHETICS.Abstract
Introduction: dental fluorosis is an endemic pathology, produced by excessive fluoride intake, clinically it presents pigmentations from white to dark brown, affecting tooth enamel and dentin. Self-esteem may be altered in individuals with dental fluorosis. Concern about pigmentation in the teeth generates insecurity when speaking or smiling and this results in a negative self-perception of the individual's dental aesthetics.
Objectives: to evaluate the influence of fluorosis on the aesthetic self-perception of adolescents between 15-17 years of age, belonging to San José de Guaytacama Educational Unit.
Methods: a total of 192 young people participated in the study. To analyze the level of fluorosis, the DEAN Index was used and to evaluate aesthetic self-perception, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-Estethic) was applied; The data were processed and analyzed in the SPSS program (Statistical Package for Social Sciences).
Results: the young people presented different degrees of fluorosis: severe (4,69 %), moderate (14,06 %), mild (19,79 %), very mild (25,0 %) and normal (36,46 %) and statistically it was determined that there is no relationship significant difference in aesthetic self-perception with age, sex, and with the presence of fluorosis in these adolescents.
Conclusions: although it was determined that there is no significant relationship between aesthetic self-perception and fluorosis in these adolescents, this pathology affects the self-esteem of those who have high levels of fluorosis, since they run the risk of looking less attractive or healthy.
