Abstract
Transgender person is characterized by the internal, constant and permanent need for sexual change and the physiognomy of his body. The aim of this study was to investigate the oral conditions of transgender individuals in the process of hormonalization. This cross-sectional study comprised 26 transgender individuals, 13 of whom were male and 13 were female. Information was collected on the hormones used; time of hormone use; use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs and illicit drugs. During the oral examination, the dental and periodontal conditions, salivary flow, presence of xerostomia and oral lesions were evaluated. Male transgenes presented an average DMFT of 11.92 ± 5.6 teeth, salivary flow of 1.82 ± 1.2 mL/min with seven (53.8%) individuals presenting some type of reduction and nine (69.2% %) presenting moderate or severe xerostomia. Female transgenes presented a mean DMFT of 8.9 ± 5.3 teeth, salivary flow of 1.35 ± 7.4 mL/min with ten (76.9%) individuals showing some level of salivary flow reduction and 11 (84.6%) with moderate to severe xerostomia. Hormone therapy in the transexualization process has an impact on the salivary flow and xerostomia, which can impact the quality of life of these people.
