“…Data from the 2010 National Oral Health Survey shows that Brazilian urban Indigenous adults present a mean Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth (DMFT) index of 17.1, similar to the non-indigenous urban population (16.9) 10 . Nevertheless, recent studies conducted with Indigenous adults living in traditional territories demonstrate a rather heterogeneous situation, with DMFT ranging from 13.4 to 20.2 11,12 .…”

Introduction: The epidemiological profile of dental caries for Indigenous Peoples is complex and heterogeneous. The oral health of the Kaingang people, third largest Indigenous population from Brazil, has not been investigated so far. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and severity of dental caries, in addition to the associated factors of the need of dental extraction among Kaingang adult Indigenous. Methods: A cross-sectional oral health survey was conducted among Kaingang adults aged from 35 to 44 years old living in the Guarita Indigenous Land, Rio Grande do Sul. Clinical exams were performed to analyze the conditions of dental crown and treatment needs. Results: A total of 107 Indigenous adults were examined. Mean DMFT score was 14.45 (± 5.80). Two-thirds of the DMFT score accounted for missing teeth. Anterior lower dentition presented the highest rates of sound teeth, whereas the lower first molars had the lowest. Need for dental extraction was observed in 34.58% and was associated with village location, time of last dental visit, and higher number of decayed teeth. Conclusion: The high frequencies of caries and missing teeth observed in this population indicate a lack of adequate assistance. It is essential to discuss health care models in order to combat avoidable social and health injustices.

“…The understanding of the oral health profile of indigenous people is still limited. The few available studies reinforce that in different countries [1][2][3] , this population group faces worse oral health conditions when compared to non-indigenous people.…”

Resumo Dada a limitada compreensão do perfil de saúde bucal de indígenas, este estudo se propôs a investigar a autoavaliação da saúde bucal desse grupo populacional. Objetivou-se verificar a associação do impacto autopercebido da saúde bucal na vida diária com aspectos sociodemográficos e de caracterização da saúde bucal entre indígenas de 10 a 14 anos da etnia Xukuru do Ororubá, Pesqueira – PE, Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo transversal desenvolvido no período de janeiro a março de 2010, com realização de exames bucais e aplicação de questionários a 233 indígenas pertencentes ao grupo etário. Por meio do modelo de análise de classes latentes, a variável “impacto da saúde bucal” foi criada e aplicada em modelos de regressão logística simples e múltipla. Os resultados apontaram que aldeias com maior média de domicílios e indígenas com experiência de cárie apresentaram pior autopercepção, aumentando o “impacto da saúde bucal” em 2,37 e 3,95 vezes respectivamente. A Análise de Classes Latentes mostrou-se uma excelente estratégia para compreensão da autopercepção bucal indígena e sua relação com fatores associados.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to document the disparity in dental caries experiences among indigenous and nonindigenous populations globally by measuring dental caries prevalence and severity. An electronic database (MEDLINE) was initially searched using relevant keywords. This was followed by use of the search string in the following electronic databases: Scopus, EBSCOhost, Cochrane, and Open Grey. Two independent reviewers conducted the study search and screening, quality assessment, and data extraction, which was facilitated using JBI SUMARI software. The primary outcome was the decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) score and dental caries prevalence. Subgroup analysis was done by country of publication to identify causes of heterogeneity. Forest plots were used with the standardized mean difference (SMD) and publication bias was assessed using the Egger test with funnel plot construction. For the final review, 43 articles were selected and 34 were meta-analyzed. The pooled mean DMFT for both the permanent dentition (SMD = 0.26; 95% CI 0.13–0.39) and deciduous dentition (SMD = 0.67; 95% CI 0.47–0.87) was higher for the Indigenous population than for the general population. Indigenous populations experienced more decayed teeth (SMD = 0.44; 95% CI 0.25–0.62), a slightly higher number of missing teeth (SMD = 0.11< 95% CI –0.05 to 0.26), and lesser filled teeth (SMD = –0.04; 95% CI –0.20 to 0.13) than their nonindigenous counterparts. The prevalence of dental caries (SMD = 0.27; 95% CI 0.13–0.41) was higher among indigenous people. Globally, indigenous populations have a higher caries prevalence and severity than nonindigenous populations. The factors which have led to such inequities need to be examined.
