%X Este estudo avaliou a perda precoce de molares permanentes em escolares da rede p¨²blica de Campina Grande, Estado da Para¨ªba, com idades de nove, 12 e 15 anos. A amostra compreendeu 873 escolares, aleatoriamente selecionados. O instrumento de coleta consistiu de um question¨¢rio e de uma ficha cl¨ªnica. As vari¨¢veis do estudo compreenderam os aspectos relativos ¨¤ perda dent¨¢ria (tipo de elemento dental, localiza  o na arcada dent¨¢ria e a regi o do arco), ¨¤ preven  o e ¨¤ autopercep  o em sa¨²de bucal. A an¨¢lise estat¨ªstica compreendeu a distribui  o de frequ¨ºncias e os testes do Qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher. Os resultados revelaram a preval¨ºncia de 17,2% de perda dent¨¢ria, sem diferen as entre os sexos, frequ¨ºncia de escova  o e palestra educativa (p > 0,05). Os elementos dent¨¢rios 36 (42,5%) e 46 (33,9%) foram os mais frequentemente perdidos. Observou-se a associa  o positiva entre perda dent¨¢ria e as vari¨¢veis idade, visita ao cirurgi o-dentista (OR = 2,19; IC95%: 1,35-3,59), satisfa  o com o sorriso (OR = 0,40; IC95%: 0,24-0,65) e a dificuldade na mastiga  o (OR = 2,16; IC95%: 1,48- 3,16). Conclui-se que a preval¨ºncia da perda precoce de molares permanentes foi elevada, sendo necess¨¢ria a imediata ado  o de a  es curativas a fim de reduzir a perda precoce desses elementos dent¨¢rios. This study evaluate the early loss of permanent molars in schoolchildren aged 9, 12 and 15 years attending public schools in the city of Campina Grande, Para¨ªba State, Brazil. The sample was composed of 873 randomly selected schoolchildren. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire and a clinical chart. The following variables were analyzed: tooth loss (tooth type, localization in the dental arch and region of the arch), prevention and selfperception of oral health. The statistical analysis was done by frequency distribution and the chisquare and fisher¡¯s exact tests were used. The results showed a prevalence of 17.2% of tooth losswithout differences between genders, toothbrushing frequency and attendance to educational lectures (p > 0.05). Teeth 36 (42.5%) and 46 (33.9%) were the most frequently lost. There was association between tooth loss and age, visit to the dentist (OR = 2.19, CI95% = 1.35-3.59), satisfaction with the smile (OR = 0.40, CI95% = 0.24-0.65) and chewing difficulty (OR = 2.16, IC95%: 1.48-3.16). It may be concluded that the prevalence of early loss of permanent molarswas high. It is therefore necessary to adopt immediate curative actions to reduce early tooth loss.
