As escovas dentais sao contaminadas diariamente por bacterias presentes na cavidade oral ou no meio externo, por isso sao consideradas depositos de microorganismos, capazes de causar e transmitir doencas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o conhecimento e praticas quanto a higienizacao e armazenamento das escovas dentais, a fim de comparar acoes executadas por grupos diferentes, e identificar falta de informacoes adequadas frente ao assunto. Os dados foram coletados atraves de questionarios, em que foram avaliados tres grupos experimentais: 1- Pacientes (n=50) atendidos no Sistema Unico de Saude (SUS), 2- Academicos de Odontologia (n=50) do Centro Universitario Doutor Leāo Sampaio e 3- Cirurgioes-dentistas (n=50) de Juazeiro do Norte, Ceara. Foi realizada analise descritiva de distribuicao de frequencia, Anova 1 criterio e teste post hoc de Bonferroni foram os testes utilizados, adotando-se um nivel de significancia de 5%. Na presente pesquisa, constatou-se que o grupo dos Cirurgioes-dentistas tem maior conhecimento e praticam melhores acoes quanto as praticas de higienizacao das escovas dentais, superior ao grupo dos Academicos e esses dos Pacientes. Porem, em relacao ao armazenamento, os grupos demostraram nao ter conhecimento acerca do local mais adequado e da maneira ideal para armazenar suas escovas. Conclui-se que, o grupo dos Cirurgioes-dentistas realiza a maior parte das manobras aconselhaveis sobre os cuidados frente a higienizacao das escovas dentais relacionado aos outros grupos em questao, apesar de nao ter conhecimento acerca de novas tecnologias para desinfeccao das escovas.

Abstract Toothbrushes are daily contaminated by bacteria in the oral cavity or outside, therefore they are considered containers for microorganisms, capable of causing and transmitting diseases. The current work aimed to evaluate the knowledge and practices regarding hygiene and storage of toothbrushes, in order to compare actions executed by different groups, and identify the lack of adequate information when facing the subject. Data were collected through a questionnaire, in which three experimental groups were evaluated: 1- patients (n=50) treated at Sistema Unico de Saude (SUS), 2- Dental students (n=50) from Centro Universitario Doutor Leao Sampaio and 3- Dental clinicians (n=50) from Juazeiro do Norte. A descriptive analysis of frequency distribution was performed, and One Way Anova and Bonfrerroni Post Hoc tests were performed, at a significance level of 5%. In the current research, it was found that the group of Dentists has a greater knowledge and practice better actions regarding the toothbrushes sanitation , higher than that of the group of Students, which was better that that of the group of Patients. However, regarding storage, the groups demonstrated to have not enough information regarding the adequate place and the ideal manner of storing their toothbrushes. It was concluded that, the group of Dentists performs the most part of recommended maneuvers regarding the care for toothbrushes hygiene compared to the other evaluated groups.
