“…This is due to the 2001 Technical Standard that allows commercialization of other concentrations lower than those recommended. 16,19,20 According to data from the Peruvian Cosmetic and Hygiene Association (COPECOH, for its Spanish acronym), developed cities generate a greater demand for oral hygiene products. 21,22 In contrast, in the most vulnerable populations, programs like "Plan de Salud Escolar" and "Juntos" have promoted practices and habits aimed at oral health care mainly among public schools through the delivery of toothpastes and toothbrushes.…”

Objective: The aim of this was to determine the geographical barriers for the use of equal or more than 1000 (≥1000) parts per million (ppm) of toothpaste with fluorine (F) in children aged 1 to 11 years in Peru in 2018. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, the database of Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES, for its Spanish acronym) of Peru in 2018 was used; the final sample was 25660 records of children between 1 and 11 years old. The variables evaluated were the use of ≥1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste, place of residence, natural region, area of residence, region, wealth index, access to dental service, whether information was received about oral hygiene, daily tooth brushing, age and sex. A descriptive, bivariate (Chi square) and multivariate (log-linear Poisson regression) analysis was performed. Results: An association was found between the use of toothpaste ≥1000 ppm F with place of residence: small city vs capital-large city with an adjusted prevalence ratio (RPa): 0.94; 95% confidence interval (95% IC): 0.90-0.98, town and country vs. capital-large city both with an RPa: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.91-0.99. With natural region: rest of the Coast vs Lima with RPa: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.91-0.98, Sierra vs Lima with RPa: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.92-0.99 and Jungle vs Lima with RPa: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.90-0.98). Conclusion: The place of residence and the natural region are geographic barriers to the use ≥1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste in children aged between 1 and 11 years in Peru in 2018.

“…Similarly, these have been analyzed in previously published research. 7,8 The databases were extracted from the INEI's official website, through multiple sources of information, and then unified into a single matrix to be analyzed in STATA v. 17 software. This was done using the complex sample module, since it is a national survey with possible representative estimates.…”

“…In 2017, Hernández-Vásquez et al concluded that a considerable fraction of Peruvian children under 12 years of age did not practice toothbrushing, especially those settled in the highlands and urban sectors of Peru; likewise the absence of this habit was observed with greater predominance in those wiofth five years of age or younger. 7 A study applied in the United Arab Emirates showed that children whose day-care centers were located in rural areas had a greater experience of caries and a higher amount of visible plaque compared to other geographical areas; in addition, the same publication established infrequent tooth brushing as a factor associated with the high prevalence of dental caries in that community, 18 which could explain the health conditions of these children.…”

“…In addition, it has been observed that the practice of this habit has been increasing in recent years, despite the fact that, in sectors such as the highlands of the country, there are still differences in its practice. 7,8 However, there are few studies that expose this problem, highlighting the need for its analysis, especially in scenarios as complex as the one that occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this sense, the purpose of the present investigation was to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tooth brushing in Peruvian children.…”

Background: Toothbrushing is a convenient, inexpensive, widespread and culturally accepted method, resulting in an ideal public health outcome. This study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on toothbrushing in Peruvian children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted using a database of children aged 0 to 11 years, with a final sample of 39,124 participants, 15,974 in 2019 (62.03%) and 7088 in 2020 (55.54%). General toothbrushing, daily toothbrushing and minimum frequency of two times a day were dependent variables; the year was considered as the independent variable. In addition, other covariates such as geographical landscape, area of residence, place of residence, altitude, wealth index, health insurance cover, sex and age. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses were applied. Results: General toothbrushing was 96.19% (n=51 013), daily toothbrushing was 87.47% (n=42 246) and minimum toothbrushing two times a day was 84.53% (n=33 957). In multivariate form, the year presented a negative association with daily toothbrushing (RPa: 0.97; CI95%: 0.96-0.98; p<0.001) and minimum toothbrushing two times a day (RPa: 0.97; CI95%: 0.95-0.98; p<0.001), adjusted for the previously associated co-variables. Conclusions: The year 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted daily toothbrushing and minimum twice-daily toothbrushing of Peruvian children.

“…10,11 At the national level, specific reports indicate a limited frequency of toothbrushing, mainly in younger individuals and members of families with limited economic resources. 12,13 Promoting healthy practices, like toothbrushing, 14 within the context of the lowest dental care access is challenging, especially in vulnerable communities. Scientific evidence shows that the successful establishment of the toothbrushing habit is linked to receiving information on the prevention of oral cavity diseases, which in many countries is provided in the dental office.…”

Objective. The aim was to determine the association between access to dental services and toothbrushing in Peruvian children under 12 years old. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study with a population of 2021 database of the Demographic and Family Health Survey. Records of children under 12 years old who provided answers about their toothbrushing were included. Variables were evaluated descriptively and followed by a bivariate analysis; multivariate tests were performed using Poisson regression with a multilevel regression analysis. Results. General toothbrushing was 96.32% (n = 34 198), and daily toothbrushing was 88.05% (n = 28 444). Access to dental services was associated with general toothbrushing (aPR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.14-1.22; P < .001), daily toothbrushing (aPR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.04-1.12; P < .001) and minimum toothbrushing 2 times a day (aPR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.07-1.17; P < .001). Conclusion. Access to dental services was associated with general toothbrushing, daily toothbrushing and toothbrushing at least twice a day.
