The aim of this study was to describe and analyze history of toothache and associated factors among adolescent students enrolled in public schools of a city in Northeastern Brazil. An observational, descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study was conducted through the application of 4 questionnaires with 458 adolescents. By bivariate analysis, the prevalence of toothache in life was higher among younger adolescents (76.9%; p = 0.004), who have visited the dentist at least once (74.8%; p = 0.001) and who reported fear (74.9%; p = 0.006). The occurrence of dental pain in the last 6 months was low, where male (77.4%; p = 0,001) and older adolescents (73.1%; p = 0.031) reported no occurrence of pain. Through multivariate analysis, the highest prevalence of dental pain in life remained among younger adolescents (76.9%; p = 0.003) and who reported dental fear (74.9%; p = 0.006). The prevalence of toothache in the last 6 months remained low through multivariate analysis, among male and older adolescents. It could be concluded that the prevalence of toothache in life was higher than in the last 6 months, showing significant association with gender, age, visit to the dentist and dental fear.
本研究旨在描述和分析巴西东北部一个城市公立学校的青少年学生的牙痛病史及相关因素。通过对458名青少年应用4份问卷进行了一项观察性、描述性、定量和横断面研究。通过双变量分析，年龄较小的青少年（76.9%；p = 0.004）、至少看过一次牙医的青少年（74.8%；p = 0.001）以及报告有恐惧情绪的青少年（74.9%；p = 0.006）一生中牙痛的患病率较高。过去6个月中牙齿疼痛的发生率较低，男性（77.4%；p = 0.001）和年龄较大的青少年（73.1%；p = 0.031）报告没有疼痛发生。通过多变量分析，一生中牙齿疼痛的最高患病率仍然是年龄较小的青少年（76.9%；p = 0.003）以及报告有牙齿恐惧的青少年（74.9%；p = 0.006）。通过多变量分析，过去6个月中牙痛的患病率在男性和年龄较大的青少年中仍然较低。可以得出结论，一生中牙痛的患病率高于过去6个月，且与性别、年龄、看牙医情况和牙齿恐惧存在显著关联。
