Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of dental caries in a population of 12-year-old schoolchildren in the city of Curitiba and to evaluate the association between dental caries and socioeconomic and educational variables.METHODS: Data were obtained from a socioeconomic and educational questionnaire assessment and a clinical examination to determine the index of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMF-T). A total of 451 children were examined, and the data obtained were analyzed using SPSS 14.0 and Stata programs.RESULTS: The prevalence of caries was 22.2%, with a mean DMF-T of 0.37 (±0.90). Schoolchildren in public schools showed a higher mean DMF-T (0.39±0.93) and were 3.98 times more likely to develop caries compared to students from private schools. With regard to socioeconomic factors, the prevalence of dental caries in children in class C was 3.51 times greater than that in children in class A, i.e., 251% greater. There was also an association between low maternal education and an increase in the prevalence of dental caries in children.CONCLUSION: In this study, dental caries is directly associated with low socioeconomic and cultural indicators of children’s families.

巴西南部首都城市12岁学生的社会经济和教育指标与龋齿的关系

目的：本研究的目的是确定库里蒂巴市12岁学童的龋齿患病率，并评估龋齿与社会经济和教育变量之间的关系。方法：从社会经济和教育问卷评估和临床检查中获得数据，以确定蛀牙、缺牙和补牙指数（DMF-T）。共对451名儿童进行了检查，并使用SPSS 14.0和Stata程序对获得的数据进行了分析。结果：龋齿患病率为22.2%，平均DMF-T为0.37（±0.90）。与私立学校的学生相比，公立学校的学生表现出更高的平均DMFT（0.39±0.93），患龋齿的可能性高3.98倍。就社会经济因素而言，C类儿童的龋齿患病率是A类儿童的3.51倍，即高出251%。母亲受教育程度低与儿童龋齿患病率增加之间也存在关联。结论：在本研究中，龋齿与儿童家庭的低社会经济和文化指标直接相关。
