Abstract: Aim: To evaluate caries experience and associated factors in 5-year-old preschool children in the city of Indaiatuba, SP, Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, representative study, conducted from an epidemiological oral health survey (2010) with 303 children. The sample was established by the systematic probabilistic method, in public and private schools, in accordance with WHO criteria. The sample was checked for caries experience (dmft) by four trained and calibrated dentists, reaching acceptable lev… Show more

“…The estimated value of dmft in the <5 years group was superior to that found by Prakash et al 20 in 8 to 48 months old children and similar to that found by Amaral et al 21 . The dmft estimated among quilombolas in the 6-12-year-old group was 4.8 (SD 4.4), a value close to the one reported by Almeida et al 22 among preschool children aged 4 and 7 years in the state of Rondônia, Brazil (dmft = 3.0).…”

“…All the examined children study in a public institution, which, according to Almeida et al 22 and Melo et al 25 , have a higher prevalence of caries as a result of parents with a low level of education and socioeconomic status, factors proven to be related to the presence and severity of dental caries. Several publications have shown declining trends in caries experience, thus many researchers studied the factors associated with this decline 21 . The presence of caries among the quilombola children is probably related to factors such as the ingestion of water without fluoride, the distance and transportation costs to the health unit, the low education level of the guardians, and the lack of preventive and restorative health actions by the oral health teams.…”

“…The included publications described the dental caries situations of the 5‐year‐old children in 16 countries/districts from six continents. Most of the studies were conducted in Asia (N = 20, China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Nepal, Taiwan, and Thailand), Europe (N = 7, Greece, Germany, Italy, and UK), and in South America (N = 6, Brazil) . Two studies conducted in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Turkey), one in Africa (Sudan), and one in Oceania (Australia) were included.…”
