| Abstract: | Aims: Data on halitosis among individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are scarce.The aim was to evaluate factors associated with the occurrence of halitosisreported by parents/caregivers (P/Cs) in individuals with DS. Methods and Results: A cross-sectional study was conducted in non-governmental assistance institutions in the State of Minas Gerais - Brazil. P/Cshave answered an electronic questionnaire with sociodemographic, behav-ioral and oral health data. Factors associated with halitosis were evaluatedby multivariate logistic regression. The sample comprised 227 P/Cs (age48.8 ± 13.2 years; 82.9% mothers) of individuals with DS (age 20.8 ± 13.5years). The prevalence of halitosis in the total sample was 34.4% (n = 78)and its occurrence was associated: 1) in individuals with DS ≤18 years old(26.2%; n = 27) - negative perception of oral health (OR = 3.91); 2) in indi-viduals with DS > 18 years (41.1%; n = 51)- gingival bleeding (OR = 4.53),absence of tongue brushing (OR = 4.50), negative perception of oral health(OR = 2.72). Conclusions: The occurrence of halitosis in individuals with DS reported byP/Cs was relevant and associated with dental factors, having a negative impact onthe perception of oral health. Oral hygiene practices, especially tongue brushing,should be reinforced to prevent and control halitosis. |
