“…For 6‐year‐old children, a screening conducted in 1994–1995 in the whole Département of Val d'Oise revealed that 44.6% of the same‐aged children in the first town and 55.8% in the second town had dental caries experience (10), compared with 51% overall in the present study (44% in the first town and 59% in the second one). The response rate for the questionnaires (77%) was equivalent to that obtained in other similar studies (13), and was considered good. The children of families that did not reply to the questionnaire ( n = 60) had higher caries experience ( P < 0.05).…”

These findings suggest that even when costs are totally reimbursed, most children in need of care do not receive it; the greater the need of care, the lower the likelihood of getting it. The deprived people and immigrants frequently inhabiting the Parisian suburbs seem to experience cultural, financial, linguistic, and administrative barriers to care, which impede uptake and which must be changed if these children are to enjoy improved dental health.

“…Furthermore, dental screening at schools, performed by dentists participating in the program, helps with the detection of normative dental treatment needs that are often not detected by the guardians [14]. Similar programs have been developed in the UK and India demonstrating that the active search for cases of diseases in schools encourages access to dental care and awareness of both parents and children of the need for this, especially among low-income groups [58,59]. Therefore, health programs such as PAS, based on healthy alliances, and targeting resources to areas of greatest social exclusion are an essential requirement for tackling the oral health inequalities of children [60].…”

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to compare the socioeconomic and family characteristics of underprivileged schoolchildren with and without curative dental needs participating in a dental health program.MethodsA random sample of 1411 of 8-to-10 year-old Brazilian schoolchildren was examined and two sample groups were included in the cross-sectional study: 544 presented curative dental needs and the other 867 schoolchildren were without curative dental needs. The schoolchildren were examined for the presence of caries lesions using the DMFT index and their parents were asked to answer questions about socioenvironmental characteristics of their families. Logistic regression models were adjusted estimating the Odds Ratios (OR), their 95% confidence intervals (CI), and significance levels.ResultsAfter adjusting for potential confounders, it was found that families earning more than one Brazilian minimum wage, having fewer than four residents in the house, families living in homes owned by them, and children living with both biological parents were protective factors for the presence of dental caries, and consequently, curative dental needs.ConclusionsSocioeconomic status and family structure influences the curative dental needs of children from underprivileged communities. In this sense, dental health programs should plan and implement strategic efforts to reduce inequities in oral health status and access to oral health services of vulnerable schoolchildren and their families.

“…These factors might be the socioeconomic and psychological status of parents, difficulties in booking a consultation or transportation, fear of the dentist, and oral health myths [17,18]. In this sense, more important than use this information to preview and planning the health services in dental clinic schools is to understand this reality as a peculiar one, that demands a better comprehension by professors and students [18,19,20,21].…”

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the factors associated with dental caries on primary and permanent dentition of a pediatric dental school clinic users. METHODS: A retrospective study of information collected from 313 dental records obtained from 2011 to 2013. The prevalence of tooth decay on primary (dmft) and permanent dentition (DMFT). Sociodemographic factors, dietary and hygiene habits were analyzed, as well Data were analyzed using Chi-square or Fisher exact test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Average dmft was 3.47 ± 3.78 and 3.46 ± 3.05 for 0-6 and 7-9 range age, respectively (p = 0.781). Average DMFT was 0.80 ± 1.25 and 3.16 ± 3.72 for the range of 7-9 and ≥ 10 years, respectively (p = 0.00). The restorative treatment need due to dental caries was highly prevalent (78% of dmft and 54% of DMFT). Dmft was associated with paternal education (OR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.13-1.05) and OHI-S (OR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.22-4.66). DMFT was associated with gender (OR: 2.36, 95% CI: 1.38-4.01). CONCLUSION: Children assisted in this dental school clinic had a high prevalence of untreated dental caries, mainly associated with paternal education and OHI-S (primary dentition), and gender (permanent dentition).Keywords: Health Services; Epidemiology; Dental caries Cárie dentária na dentição decidua e permanente em uma clínica escola de odontopediatria: prevalência e fatores associados RESUMO OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar os fatores associados à cárie dentária na dentição decídua e permanente de usuários de uma clínica pública de Odontopediatria. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo com informações coletadas de 313 prontuários odontológicos obtidos entre 2011 a 2013. Foram analisados a prevalência de cárie dentária na dentição primária (ceo) e permanente (CPO-D), assim como fatores sociodemográficos e hábitos dietéticos e de higiene oral. Os dados foram analisados utilizando teste Qui-quadrado ou exato de Fisher (α = 0,05). RESULTADOS: O ceo-d médio foi de 3,47 ± 3,78 e 3,46 ± 3,05 para as faixas etárias de 0-6 e 7-9, respectivamente (p = 0,781). O CPO-d médio foi de 0,80 ± 1,25 e 3,16 ± 3,72 para as faixas de idade de 7-9 e ≥ 10 anos, respectivamente (p = 0,00). A necessidade de tratamento restaurador devido à cárie dental foi altamente prevalente (78% do ceo-d e 54% do CPO-d). O ceo-d foi associado com educação paterna (OR: 0.37, IC 95%: 0.13-1.05) e IHO-S (OR: 2.39, IC 95%: 1.22-4.66). O DMFT foi associado ao gênero (OR: 2.36, IC 95%: 1.38-4.01). CONCLUSÃO: As crianças atendidas nesta clínica escola de Odontopediatria apresentaram alta prevalência de cárie dentária não tratada, principalmente associada à educação paterna e IHO-S (dentição primária) e gênero (dentição permanente).Palavras-chave: Serviços de saúde; Epidemiologia; Cárie dentária 24 Rev Odonto Cienc 2017;32(1): [23][24][25][26][27] Dental caries in children assisted on a dental school clinic | De Sousa et al.
