“…7 In a recent Brazilian study using the SiC index, a high polarization in the distribution of dental caries in 12-year-old adolescents was observed. 8 In that study, the DMF-T index was 2.45, with an SiC index of 5.08, and 30% of the adolescents were shown to be caries-free. It was observed that 70% of caries cases were concentrated among 34% of the adolescents.…”

Inequalities in the distribution of dental caries among 12-year-old Brazilian schoolchildren

et al. 2011

Abstract:We assessed the inequality in the distribution of dental caries and the association between indicators of socioeconomic status and caries experience in a representative sample of schoolchildren. This study followed a cross-sectional design, with a sample of 792 schoolchildren aged 12 years, representative of this age group in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. Guardians answered questions on socioeconomic status and a dental examination provided information on the dental caries experience (DMF-T). Inequality in dental caries distribution was measured by the Gini coefficient and the Significant Caries Index (SiC). The assessment of association used Poisson regression models. Socioeconomic factors were associated with prevalence of dental caries for the whole sample and also for individuals with a high-caries level. Children from low-income households had the highest prevalence of dental caries. The Gini coefficient was 0.7 and the SiC Index 2.5. The percentage of caries prevalence was 39.3% (95% CI: 35.8%-42.8%) and the mean for DMF-T was 0.9 (± SD 1.5). Inequalities in the distribution of dental caries were observed and socioeconomic factors were found to be strong predictors of the prevalence of oral disease in children of this age group.

“…Dental caries is a multifactorial disease, determined and shaped by socioeconomic, cultural and behavioral factors, and affects the quality of life of children and adolescents in functional, social and emotional aspects [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Thus, the social condition of the children and their family, ethnicity, family income, education level of parents, overcrowded housing and difficult to access health services may predispose this population to a greater risk of developing caries [4,[9][10][11].…”

Objective: To evaluate socioeconomic, familiar and clinical risk variables associated to caries increment in the children's permanent dentition from seven to 10 years participating in a dental health program. Material and Methods: A sample of 301 children from nine public schools participated in the 'Always Smiling Program' took part in this study. They were evaluated for dental caries through dmft and DMF-T indexes along 2 years, and their parents completed a socio-environmental questionnaire containing questions on their income, education and family environment. Survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the effect of the independent variables on caries increment. Results: We verified that socio-environmental variables were not associated with caries increment, while children with experience in primary dentition were 1.5 times more likely to develop caries in permanent dentition compared to those who did not have this experience. Conclusion: Schoolchildren presenting dental caries in primary dentition on baseline had higher risk of developing caries in permanent dentition and this variable should be taken in consideration by managers of dental health programs when prioritizing groups with higher care needs.
