CONCluSÕES<br />
Com os resultados observados no presente<br />
estudo po<strong>de</strong>-se concluir que:<br />
1) Na faixa etária estudada, 86,69% das<br />
crianças apresentavam gengivite, com predomínio<br />
<strong>de</strong> gengivite mo<strong>de</strong>rada.<br />
2) A baixa renda familiar e o número <strong>de</strong> filhos<br />
ou <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>ntes foram os principais fatores associados<br />
com a gravida<strong>de</strong> da gengivite em crianças.<br />
3) A freqüência <strong>de</strong> isolamento <strong>de</strong> A. actinomycetemcomitans<br />
foi baixa em todas as<br />
condições clínicas estudadas e não foi estatisticamente<br />
associada ao <strong>de</strong>senvolvimento<br />
da gengivite.<br />
Occurrence of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans<br />
in subgengival biofilm of children aged 6-12 years old<br />
aBStRaCt<br />
The present study evaluated gingival, socioeconomic conditions and the occurrence of Aggregatibacter<br />
actinomycetemcomitans in 233 children from 6 to 12 years-old in Araçatuba-São Paulo. In the periodontal<br />
evaluation the plaque in<strong>de</strong>x and bleeding on probing in<strong>de</strong>x were used. Subgingival biofilm samples were<br />
taken through sterile paper points, which were transfered to VMGA III or to criotubes with 300µl of ultrapure<br />
water. Microbial isolation was carried out using TSBV agar and the occurrence of A. actinomycetemcomitans<br />
was also <strong>de</strong>termined by mean of PCR using specific primer pairs. The socio-economic conditions were<br />
evaluated by specific questionaire. The vast majority of studied children exihibited gingivitis and it was<br />
statistically correlated low income, family’s children number and the gingival status of the patients. The<br />
occurence of A. actinomycetemcomitans did not show any correlation between gingival or socio-economic<br />
conditions and target population.<br />
