• W2944515431 abstract "A good oral health self-perception can contribute to improved knowledge of oral health self-careand practice as well as increase the proper use of dental care services. This study evaluated howadolescents from urban and peri-urban Maputo City assess their oral health status, behaviour andoral health risk factors. This is an analytic cross-sectional study, conducted in the urban andperi-urban schools of Maputo City involving adolescents in the age groups of 12 and 15-19years old. The study was carried out in five schools, three Complete Primary schools and twoSecondary schools from urban and peri-urban areas in Maputo City selected by convenience dueto their geographic location. The size of the sample was 500 comprising 236 twelve year oldsand 264 15-19 year olds. Data was collected using a self-completion questionnaire designed bythe World Health Organization (WHO) and translated into Portuguese. The questionnaireincluded variables such as socio-demographic data (age, gender, location and parent or guardianlevel of education), self-assessment of oral health status and quality of life; self reported oralhealth behaviour and lifestyles, oral health risk factor knowledge (alcohol, tobacco and dietary),dental visits and daily impact of oral health. Chi-square for associations and a Spearmancorrelation tests were used to determine relationships between categorical data. All tests wereassumed statistically significant at p≤0.05. The results showed that most of the adolescentsclassified their teeth (49.7%) and gum (38.2%) health as normal. There was no statisticaldifference between adolescents from urban and peri-urban schools (Spearman rs (399) = 0,114, p=0,02). The majority (n=322; 65.2%) of the adolescents clean their teeth twice a day. There wasno difference between school level (primary and secondary school) and frequency of teethcleaning. Most of the adolescents use a toothbrush (97.8%) and toothpaste (93.5%) to clean theirteeth and only 11.9% also use dental floss but 52.1% didn´t know if their toothpaste wasfluoridated or not. Smoking was reported by less than 1% of the adolescents. The main reasonfor dental service utilization, (reported by 67.5%) was pain or problems with teeth, gums ormouth. There was an association between oral health status and problems experienced in dailylife because of their teeth and mouth. There was no significant difference for oral healthassessment, risk factors and behaviours, between adolescents from urban and peri-urban schools.Although some satisfactory results were found, the need to strengthen oral health promotion inschools is high, especially considering the causes for dental service utilization were mostly painand trouble with teeth in this group." @default.
