Abstract

Dental fluorosis is a diffuse hypomineralization, usually symmetrical in tooth enamel, which can manifest from mild to severe situations. Objective: To evaluate the impact of dental fluorosis on the quality of life and self-steem of adolescents in Serra Preta, Bahia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with adolescents aged 11 to 14 years old, enrolled in schools in the city, using the following questionnaires: Dean's Index, OHRQoL and the IAAD. Results and Discussion: In all, 56 students participated in the research, 26 of which had some degree of dental fluorosis and, through the statistical analysis of the results, it was possible to verify that the oral health of these students interfered with their self-esteem, thus being in line with the results of other scientific studies. Conclusion: In the sample, there was a relationship between self-esteem and fluorosis, which, in addition to interfering with quality of life and interpersonal relationships, contributed to understanding the panorama of self-perception of fluorosis in this population.
