To identify the sociodemographic, socio-economic, clinical and behavioural factors that modify the experience of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) and caries prevalence in Nicaraguan children 9-12 years old. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 800 school children 9-12 years old in the city of Leon, Nicaragua. The clinical oral examinations to identify caries experience were undertaken by two trained and certified examiners. Sociodemographic, socio-economic and behavioural data were collected using questionnaires. Negative binomial regression (NBR) and binary logistic regression (BLR) models were used to model caries experience and caries prevalence, respectively. Mean DMFT index was 0.98 ± 1.74 and caries prevalence (DMFT > 0) was 37.9%. In the NBR model, the categories that increase the expected DMFT mean were: older age, female gender, presence of plaque, and if the school children received curative and curative/preventive dental care in the last year. In the BLR mod...

The purpose of our researching is to examine the connection of between the presence of dental caries and socio-economic conditions in children aged 4-6 years. Included in the survey were 74 examinees, aged 4-6 years, divided into two groups, experimental group of 43 examinees and control group of 31 examinees.For determining the socio-economic status of the examinees we used specially structured questionnaire, which contain questions about the monthly income of the family, where according to the statistics of the State service for the year 2015 the average wage was 22.300 denars.Based on the answers of all questions of socio-economic status among families, evaluation was the following: Score 0 - High, Skor 1- Medium, Skor 2- Humilis.The distribution of the data pertaining to the socio-economic status of children with primary dentition from the control group, pointing out that there is no significant difference between the two groupes.Information obtained for studied group are pointi...
Relationship between dental caries and socio-economic factors in adolescents
Journal of Applied Oral …, 2005
ental caries has a multifactorial etiology, including socioeconomic variables and access to dental care, which were discussed in the national survey conducted in 2002. The aim of this study was to investigate the socioeconomic aspects and access to dental care, associated with caries prevalence and severity in adolescents from the State of São Paulo. The study design was cross-sectional, on which data on 1,825 adolescents aged 15 to 19 years achieved from the data of an epidemiological survey conducted in the State of São Paulo in 2002 were analyzed. Epidemiological exams and interviews with previously formulated questions were used in the survey. The Significant Caries Index (SiC Index) was utilized to determine the group with higher caries experience. Frequency distribution and chi-square association tests were carried out in order to evaluate the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable (DMFT). Confidence intervals and odds ratio (OR) were estimated. The risk factors pointed as indicators of presence of dental caries were as follows: not being a student, studying at public schools, family income lower than 5 Brazilian minimum wages. Moreover, not having an own house or a car seemed to contribute to caries experience. With regard to the access to public dental care, the adolescents assisted at public centers and looking for emergency dental care had the higher caries experience. Thus, the results showed that social deprivation is associated with caries experience in adolescents from the State of São Paulo.

O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer os fatores sócio-econômicos e de acesso aos serviços odontológicos associados com a prevalência e severidade da cárie dentária entre adolescentes no Estado de São Paulo. O delineamento do estudo foi do tipo transversal, onde foram analisados os dados de 1825 adolescentes entre 15 e 19 anos de idade, obtidos a partir do levantamento epidemiológico em saúde bucal, realizado no Estado de São Paulo, em 2002, que incluiu exames epidemiológicos e entrevistas com questões previamente formuladas. O Significant Caries Index (SiC Index) foi empregado para definir o grupo com maior experiência de cárie. Foram realizados cálculos da distribuição de freqüência, testes de associação do Qui-quadrado (c 2) para avaliar o relacionamento entre a variável dependente (CPOD) e as variáveis independentes, estimando-se as razões de chance (Odds Ratio-OR) e respectivos intervalos de confiança. Não ser estudante, estudar em escolas públicas e renda familiar menor que 5 salários-mínimos foram indicadores para a presença de cárie dentária. Além destes fatores citados, não possuir automóvel e residir em casa cedida pareceram contribuir para a experiência de cárie. Quanto ao acesso aos serviços odontológicos, os adolescentes atendidos em serviço público e os que procuraram atendimento por motivo de urgência tiveram maior experiência de cárie. Portanto, concluiu-se que os resultados indicaram que a privação social parece estar relacionada a experiência de cárie dentária em adolescentes no Estado de São Paulo.

OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of dental caries in a population of 12-year-old schoolchildren in the city of Curitiba and to evaluate the association between dental caries and socioeconomic and educational variables.METHODS: Data were obtained from a socioeconomic and educational questionnaire assessment and a clinical examination to determine the index of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMF-T). A total of 451 children were examined, and the data obtained were analyzed using SPSS 14.0 and Stata programs.RESULTS: The prevalence of caries was 22.2%, with a mean DMF-T of 0.37 (±0.90). Schoolchildren in public schools showed a higher mean DMF-T (0.39±0.93) and were 3.98 times more likely to develop caries compared to students from private schools. With regard to socioeconomic factors, the prevalence of dental caries in children in class C was 3.51 times greater than that in children in class A, i.e., 251% greater. There was also an associati...

The objective of the present research was to quantify the association between dental caries self-report and socioeconomic indicators in Mexican children. An ecological study included a self-report of dental caries in schoolchildren enrolled in public elementary and middle schools derived from the National School Health Survey. A total of 73,560 schoolchildren (representing 19,745,366 students) aged 5 to 16 years were included. Socioeconomic variables included were scales depicting physical characteristics of housing, purchasing power, etc. used in national surveys in Mexico to measure deprivation, poverty, and income inequality in official data. Data were analyzed in Stata using Spearman’s correlation test. For the most part, no association (p > 0.05) was found between caries self-report, socioeconomic variables, or the Gini index. However, caries self-report in elementary schoolchildren and total (elementary + middle-school) schoolchildren groups was positively correlated (p <...

Purpose: Dental caries is one of the most common and costly chronic diseases in the world. Many studies have reported socio-economic status (S.E.S) as an important factor predisposing caries. This investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of differences in socio-economic status of parents as a multidimensional factor on caries development in a group of 8-year-old children in Tehran during the year 2000. Materials & Methods: A total of 1024 children were randomly selected from 99 primary schools throughout the greater Tehran.The prevalence of dental caries was recorded using the "DMFT" and "dmft" indices. S.E.S was assessed through evaluating, parents' educational level, fathers' job. Collected data was then analyzed using Chi-square and oneway ANOVA tests, in association to a regression analysis. Result: Results showed that, the mean caries prevalence in primary teeth (d) to be at 2.4±2.4 and 4.6±2.3 in the highest and lowest socio-economic status respectively. This value was at 2.1±2.4 and 4.5±2.3 in children of highly educated mothers and illiterate ones, respectively. There were similar findings for the effect of the other factors determining S.E.S, on caries prevalence of the children. Regression Analysis showed that, mothers' education was as important as the other factors to determine the familys' S.E.S . This was in fact found to be the most effective factor on caries prevalence.(PV=0.01) Conclusion: S.E.S is an important factor on caries prevalence, with mothers' educational level being the main determining factor on S.E.S.
Dental caries in inland Brazilian adolescents and its relationship with social determinants
Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2014
Aim: To identify the prevalence of dental caries in inland Brazilian adolescents, and to analyze the influence of socio-demographic and clinical variables, and access to dental service on caries experience. Methods: This study had a non-probabilistic sample comprising 504 adolescents aged 12 years, attending public schools in the city of Nova Friburgo, mountain region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The World Health Organization (WHO, 1997) criterion was used by previously calibrated examiners to report dental caries. Variables were obtained by means of a semistructured questionnaire applied to the adolescents' parents. Results: The D 3 MFT mean was 1.90 and the Significant Caries (SIC) Index was 4.54, mainly represented by the carious component. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that parents with over 8 years of schooling (OR=0.579), absence of pain (OR=0.396) and not visiting the dentist (OR=0.270) might suggest protective factors against the disease; the possible risk factors were male gender (OR=1.982) and pain, extraction and others were reasons for consultation (OR=2.435). Conclusions: Although the prevalence of caries was slightly below the national mean, polarization of the disease was clearly observed. Education and no access to the dentist led to protection against the disease. These results may contribute to planning of oral health actions directed towards this target population for the control of caries.
