ABSTRACT
Abstract This study evaluated the association between socioeconomic factors and stages of dental caries in children one to five years of age. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 759 children enrolled in preschools in Diamantina, Brazil. The parents/caregivers filled out a form addressing socioeconomic factors. Add to the end of this sentence and categorized in caries free (code 0 and 1), no obvious decay (code 2 and 3) and obvious decay (code 4, 5 and 6). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test and multinomial regression. The prevalence of "no obvious decay" was higher among children from families with a larger number of income-dependent individuals (OR 2.47; 95%CI 1.41-4.31). The higher prevalence of "obvious decay" was associated with the child's age (OR 1.36; 95%CI 1.16-1.58), attending a public preschool (OR 2.38; 95%CI 1.31-4.34), a larger number of income-dependent individuals (four to five individuals OR 1.71; 95%CI 1.09-2.74; more than five individuals OR 3.41; 95%CI 1.95-5.94), no access to a dentist (OR 2.14; 95%CI 1.48-3.09), and lower income (OR 1.72; 95%CI 1.19--2.49). It was concluded that the variable of a larger number of income-dependent individuals was associated with both no obvious decay and obvious decay. Child's age, type of preschool, access to a dentist, and income were associated with obvious decay.
