“…Conceptually, individual and area socioeconomic characteristics do not necessarily belong to the same constructs, and thus, they may be affecting health through diverse mechanisms [59]. Our results are aligned with prior research reports from Mexico [6,7,38] and other countries [23,25,[27][28][29][30][31] where socioeconomic inequalities have been associated to oral health indicators. Studies on dental caries inequalities in low-and middle-income countries are relatively scarce [25], and there are even fewer studies about the spatial distribution pertaining specifically to caries [29].…”

“…Many causes of inequalities are difficult to identify, in part because they change in relation to their social context [22]. Several studies found significant associations between lower socioeconomic status and higher risk of dental caries [23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Social factors influence variables associated with caries through modifying living conditions of the individual; it is feasible to gain a more accurate understanding of caries distribution through examining such a relationship.…”

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 < 0.05) with two poverty variables: extreme poverty by income (value of personal food purchases per month) and poverty by income (value of personal food and non-food purchases per month). National data for dental caries self-report were associated—at the ecological level—with a few socioeconomic indicators but not with most of the usual and customary indicators used in national surveys in Mexico.

“…However, evidence in the field of paediatric dentistry remains rather unclear, as conclusions from various studies are mixed and contradictory. Some published literature depicted gender bias regarding caries experience for juvenile patients, with females being reported as more susceptible [3][4][5][6][7][8] . On the other hand, there are studies supporting an opposite trend, indicating that males, especially at the primary dentition stage, exhibit higher caries experience than females of the same age [9][10][11][12] .…”

Background Gender inequalities in dental caries and periodontal diseases have been observed among adults. However, literature is scarce for children and evidence on gender inequalities regarding caries and/or periodontal diseases is vague. Our aim is to examine potential gender differences in UK children regarding caries experience and periodontal status using data from the UK 2013 Children Dental Health Survey (CDHS). Methods CDHS included children aged 5, 8, 12 and 15 years. Their dental caries experience and periodontal status were reported using the number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT or dmft for permanent or primary dentition at both D1 and D3 thresholds) and the basic periodontal examination (BPE) score, respectively. Zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) models were used to fit DMFT/dmft and a multinomial logistic regression (MLR) model was used for BPE scores after adjustment for possible confounding factors, to assess the gender inequality on DMFT/dmft and BPE in the UK children. Results The analyses included 9,866 children. No gender inequalities in caries experience were observed in the 5 and 8-year-old children regardless of the threshold at which dental caries were examined. However, for the 12- and 15-year-old adolescents, females had higher D3MFT scores compared to males (IRR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.10-1.49 and IRR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.00-1.35, respectively). Additionally, the 15-year-old females had lower probability to be caries free (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.45-0.82), regardless of the threshold at which dental caries were examined. With regards to the periodontal status, no statistically significant gender inequalities (p>0.05) were observed. Conclusions In the UK, female adolescents had experienced more carious lesions compared to males of the same age group, when dental caries were examined into dentine (D3MFT). However, 15-year-old males matched females in their caries experience, when the early enamel lesions were included in caries diagnosis (D1MFT). With regard to the periodontal status, no gender dissimilarity was confirmed among British adolescents. The increased risk of adolescent females to dental caries may signify additional needs for prevention and improved oral care.

“…The data used in this study were extracted from the public dataset of the study, which is available online [18]. Examiner training procedures, data collection methods and the variables included in the study were previously described in other studies [19][20][21][22][23][24]. The concentration of oral disease in the population was estimated by the oral disease burden (ODB) variable, which was the outcome of this study.…”

Background : Dental caries is associated with Biological, behavioral, socioeconomic, and environmental factors; however, socioeconomic status is a distal determinant of dental caries development that modulates exposure to risk and protective factors. This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with the distribution and concentration of oral diseases in a population-based study in Brazil. Methods : This is a quantitative, analytical, cross-sectional study based on secondary data from the SB São Paulo 2015 epidemiological survey. A total of 17,560 subjects were included. The concentration of oral disease in the population was estimated by the oral disease burden (ODB) variable. The ODB consists of four components: dental caries; tooth loss; need for dental prosthesis and periodontal condition. Thus, the total score on the ODB could vary between 0 and 4, with the highest score indicating the worst possible situation. ODB was analyzed in multivariate negative binomial regression, and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. The following demographic data were included as independent variables: age group, skin color, socioeconomic data, and family income. Results : ODB was present in 86.9% of the sample. Negative multivariate binomial regression showed a statistically significant relationship (p<0.005) between ODB and all variables analyzed (skin color, family income, education, OIDP results and age range). The adjusted multivariate binary logistic regression showed that the individuals most likely to have at least one component of ODB were nonwhite (25.5%), had a family income of up to R$ 1,500.00 / month (19.6%), had only completed primary education (19.1%), and reported that their oral health had an impact on their daily activities (57.6%). Elderly individuals were two times more likely than adolescents to have an ODB component. Conclusions : ODB is associated with factors related to social inequality. Adults and elderly individuals had the highest cumulative number of ODB components.
