“…In preschool children, socio-economic conditions of the family have been associated with caries development. Children having parents with low education, non-Western background or lacking parental guidance regarding oral health have been reported to have higher caries prevalence in primary teeth than other children [14][15][16][17][18], while few studies have evaluated associations between caries development from 5 to 12 years of age and family status [19]. To our knowledge, no studies have used enamel caries in primary teeth as predictor for caries development in permanent teeth.…”

Objective: To explore caries development in children from 5 to 12 years of age, and to study whether enamel caries and dentine caries at 5 years of age could predict caries prevalence at 12 years of age, controlled for child characteristics. Methods: The study included 3282 children examined at 5 and 12 years of age. Data were collected by clinical examination and questionnaire. Enamel and dentine caries were registered at surface level. Data were tested by t-test and analysed by bi-and multivariate logistic regression. The study was ethically approved. Results: In 5-year-olds, 15% of the children had dentine caries experience and 21% had enamel caries. In 12-year-olds, 32% had dentine caries experience and 47% had enamel caries. Children with dentine caries experience at 5 years of age had at 12 years of age developed more surfaces with enamel caries (mean 2.8, SD 4.2) and dentine caries experience (mean 1.8, SD 2.5) than other children (p < .05). Dentine caries experience at 12 years of age was associated with having only enamel caries (OR 1.6, CI 1.2-2.0) and dentine caries experience (OR 3.2, CI 2.6-3.9) at 5 years of age. Family status and parental education were related to caries development. Conclusion: Children with caries in primary teeth continued to be caries risk children during the mixed dentition period. In addition to dentine caries experience, enamel caries in primary teeth was a predictor for caries development in young permanent teeth and may be used to improve the caries risk assessment.

“…Ethnic and economic disparities in oral health are well established in the US [1,2]. Hispanics have a higher risk of poor oral health than non-Hispanics.…”

“…At least some of these ethnic differences in oral health can be attributed to low socioeconomic status (SES), which translates to reduced access to dental care [3]. As a result, SES is believed to explain some of the disparities in oral health across ethnic minority groups [1][2][3].…”

“…Socioeconomic status, particularly high educational attainment, is generally protective against poor oral health and promotes access to dental services [1][2][3]. Among adults 35 to 44 years old, those with less than a high school education are three times more likely to have untreated tooth decay than those with at least some college education [4].…”

Background: Minorities’ diminished returns (MDRs) refer to systemically weaker effects of socioeconomic status (SES), particularly educational attainment, on the health of non-Whites compared to Whites. Aim: Using a nationally representative sample, we aimed to investigate ethnic differences in the effect of SES (educational attainment) on the self-rated oral health of Hispanic older adults in the US. Methods: This study analyzed the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging (UM-NPHA) 2017 data, which included 2131 older adults who were 50 to 80 years old (202 Hispanics and 1929 non-Hispanics). Ethnicity, race, educational attainment (SES), age, gender, employment, retirement, and self-rated oral health (single item) were measured. Logistic regressions were applied for data analysis. Results: High educational attainment was associated with lower odds of poor oral health in the pooled sample, net of all covariates. The effect of educational attainment on poor self-rated oral health was found to be weaker for Hispanics than for non-Hispanics. Conclusion: We observed MDRs of educational attainment (SES) on oral health for Hispanic older adults. In other words, compared to non-Hispanics, Hispanics gain less oral health from their educational attainment (SES).
