“…44 45 Interprofessional collaboration between professional dentists, non-dentistry professionals and fellow-health professionals should be established to jointly provide services aiming at low SES groups at the same time. 46 Strength and limitation A major strength of our study was the Fourth National Oral Health Survey of China use of a relatively large and representative sample of children, which ensured study results are likely to be generalisable across the mainland of China children. And it was the first study to measure inequalities in child oral health by using SII and RII in China.…”

ObjectivesSocioeconomic inequalities in oral health are often neglected in oral health promotion. This cross-sectional study assessed the association between dental caries and socioeconomic status (SES) among preschool children in China.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingData from the Fourth National Oral Health Survey of China (2015), comprising of 40 360 children aged 3–5 years was used.MethodsDental caries indicators including prevalence of dental caries, dental pain experience and number of decayed, missing and filling teeth (dmft). SES indicators included parental education and household income. The associations between SES and dental caries were analysed by using negative binomial regression or Poisson regression models according to data distribution. Relative and absolute inequalities in dental caries were quantified by using the Relative Index of Inequality (RII) and Slope Index of Inequality (SII), respectively.ResultsThere were significant associations between SES and prevalence of dental caries and dmft (p<0.001). Children from lower educated (RII 1.36, 95% CI 1.3 to 1.43; SII 0.97, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.13) and lower household income (RII 1.17, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.24; SII 0.55, 95% CI 0.35 to 0.75) families had higher dmft than those from well-educated and most affluent families. Relative and absolute inequalities in dental caries were larger in urban areas by household income, and in rural areas by parental education.ConclusionsAssociation between dental caries and SES was demonstrated and socioeconomic inequalities in dental caries existed among Chinese preschool children.

“…(9) One strategy is interprofessional collaboration between oral healthcare providers and nondental health professionals to educate and learn from fellow-health professionals and jointly provide services targeting disadvantaged groups. (10) By their nature, such interventions are likely to operate at local- or state-levels. Yet, even the successful ones may fail to alter national caries levels, as studied here.…”
