“…In this study, dental caries presented a widespread distribution in the Kaingang adult population. Similarly high prevalence rates have been observed among South American native populations such as the Panares from Venezuela (71.4%), and the Mapuche-Huilliche from Chile (100%) 23,24 . Conversely, extremely low frequencies of dental caries were described in the 1960s and 1970s among the Indigenous populations from the Brazilian Amazon basin 25,26 .…”

“…Several studies did not report mean DMFT or dental caries prevalence (n = 24), were unavailable (n = 13), or were studies with mixed populations that did not report mean DMFT for the Indigenous participants (n = 5). Of the 28 included studies, seven were nonpublished postgraduate dissertations ( The studies were conducted in the following five South American countries: Brazil (n = 20), 20-39 Venezuela (n = 4), 19,[40][41][42] Chile (n = 2), 43,44 Ecuador (n = 1) 45 and Peru (n = 1). 46 The study populations included 31 different Indigenous ethnic groups.…”

“…Nevertheless, these differences must be interpreted with caution since the 95% confidence intervals overlap in the 12, 15-19, [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] and 65-74 age brackets. Additionally, Indigenous peoples face geographic and institutional barriers to accessing health services, do not receive fluoridated drinking water, are often exposed to land displacement and violence and are disproportionately subjected to cultural changes due to diminishing natural resources.…”

“…Al igual que en el recién citado estudio, se considera que el entorno social (nivel socioeconómico, nivel educacional, dificultad de acceso a la atención odontológica) en que se encuentra esta población sería determinante para explicar la gran cantidad de daño encontrado. 6 Debemos destacar el mayor porcentaje de mujeres (60,3%) que acudieron a la evaluación bucodental, en comparación con el porcentaje de hombres (39,7%). Lo anterior puede ser explicado debido a que las mujeres asistían a los centros de salud por llevar a sus hijos a controles y aprovechaban esta instancia de atención bucodental.…”
