The relationship between mother and child in the context of oral health has traditionally been exposed by the scientific literature in microbiology, which lacks a broad and necessary discussion of health and illness seen as processes, both biological and social. ObjectiveInvestigate the family social determinants associated with the caries history of children and the need for dental treatment (NDT) among their mothers was the objective of this study. Material and methodsThis research employed a cross-sectional study of mother-child pairs living in southern Brazil. Data collection occurred in public institutions of early childhood education. The instruments included a structured questionnaire administered to mothers and clinical oral examinations of the mothers and children. The social variables considered were marital status, maternal education, number of children, income, employment status, and frequency of visits to a dental professional. The measured outcomes were the maternal NDT and child caries history. Data were analyzed by the chi-square test (χ2) and by discriminant analysis. ResultsThe final sample consisted of 272 mother-child pairs and it was found that the greatest need for treatment was among mothers with low educational level and low family income who rarely or never visited a dentist. Tooth decay was less frequent in only child, and most frequent in children of mothers with low educational attainment, and in children in lower income households who rarely or never visited the dentist. The social determinants of caries in children and of the maternal NDT were similar. It follows that the maternal NDT and caries history among children were strongly associated with maternal education (p<0.0001), household income (p<0.0001), and frequency of visits to a dental professional (0.0018). Caries history among children was also associated with number of children in the household (p<0.0001).ConclusionsThe results suggest that the caries experience in children depended less on the family social variables than on the maternal NDT.

“…Numerous studies have addressed the correlation between oral health and social factors such as income, education, number of children, and other variables 12,16,21,22,25,31 . The national surveys conducted in Brazil in 2000 and 2010 showed that oral health is heterogenous, with differences found among regions and social groups.…”

Background:Mothers play a key role as transmitters of oral health behavior for their children. Hence increasing their knowledge about positive attitude toward desirable oral health behaviors regarding their children will lead to the better oral health of the children.Aim:The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health education program among mothers with 6-18 months old children in the prevention of early childhood caries.Materials and Methods:A total of 480 mothers with 6-18 months old children were selected using cluster randomization of the primary health center. The allocated mothers were assigned into three groups: Motivation group (group A), traditional health education group (group B) and control group (group C). Clinical examination was carried out to record the dental decay of the child.Statistical Analysis:The data was analyzed using SPSS 13. Evaluation of statistical significance between groups was made using the Chi-square test, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis.Results:Mean number of decayed teeth was 0.23 + 0.58 in group A that was significantly less as compared to 0.39 + 0.79 and 1.17 + 1.32 in group B and C, respectively.Conclusion:Motivational intervention was more effective in reducing dental decay in the children as compared to the other two groups.

“…A alta do atendimento é prevista para os 6 anos. Durante o período que as crianças permanecem em atendimento, recebem consultas bimestrais reforçando a necessidade de medidas preventi vas caseiras e profi ssionais regulares, bem como a necessidade de interpor medidas para interceptação de hábitos nocivos de dieta, higiene e de sucção não nutriti va, prevenindo desta forma aparecimento de lesões de cárie e maloclusões 11 . O processo da coleta de dados teve a parti cipação de 01 cirurgião-denti sta da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do município de Maringá que roti neiramente é responsável pelo atendimento das crianças.…”

Objeti vo: Verifi car a relação entre cárie dentária, alterações faciais, comportamento materno e temperamento das crianças parti cipantes do programa Clínica de bebês do município de Maringá/PR. Método: Foram examinadas 102 pares de mães e crianças na faixa etária entre 2 e 7 anos. Um questi onário analisou os dados socioeconômicos da mãe, padrão de aleitamento, hábitos de sucção não nutriti va e por meio do exame clínico avaliaram-se a quanti dade de biofi lme presente (IHB), o índice de cárie (ceo-s) e alterações faciais. Avaliou-se, também, o temperamento da criança frente ao atendimento odontológico e o comportamento materno junto à criança. Os dados foram processados e analisados pelo soft ware Stati sti c R, com nível de signifi cância de 0,05%. Para a comparação das duas amostras foi uti lizado o Teste de Mann-Whitney e a associação foi verifi cada pelo Teste Exato de Fisher. Resultados: Das crianças, 58,8% são do gênero masculino, 88 (86,2%) "livres de cárie" e ceo-s de 0,55 (±1,64). Quanto à presença de hábitos nocivos, 46 (45,1%) possui algum hábito e 21,5% possuíam alterações faciais. Houve diferença estatí sti ca para o IHB médio entre as crianças livres de cárie (0,8±0,86) e crianças com cárie (1,46±1,00) (p=0,010; Teste de MannWhitney). Quando comparado tempo do hábito nocivo e presença de alteração facial, as crianças que ainda possuíam hábito nocivo ti veram maior percentual de alteração facial. Para o temperamento da criança, a cárie mostrou-se mais presente para o defi niti vamente negati vo (p=0,0499). Em relação ao hábito nocivo, este se mostrou mais presente para o defi niti vamente negati vo (p=0,0434). Quando analisado o comportamento da mãe, 57,14% das crianças com cárie possuem mães consideradas "insensíveis" (p=0,0013). Conclusão: Programas que promovam o vínculo entre o profi ssional, à criança e a família, desde a idade precoce, com reforço educati vo nas consultas de retorno infl uencia de maneira positi va para mudança de hábitos inadequados, condicionamento da criança para receber o atendimento odontológico e o estí mulo à família para manutenção da saúde bucal.
