ABSTRACT

Objective:

The aim of this was to determine the geographical barriers for the use of equal or more than 1000 (≥1000) parts per million (ppm) of toothpaste with fluorine (F) in children aged 1 to 11 years in Peru in 2018. Material and

Methods:

This is a cross-sectional study, the database of Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES, for its Spanish acronym) of Peru in 2018 was used; the final sample was 25660 records of children between 1 and 11 years old. The variables evaluated were the use of ≥1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste, place of residence, natural region, area of residence, region, wealth index, access to dental service, whether information was received about oral hygiene, daily tooth brushing, age and sex. A descriptive, bivariate (Chi square) and multivariate (log-linear Poisson regression) analysis was performed.

Results:

An association was found between the use of toothpaste ≥1000 ppm F with place of residence small city vs capital-large city with an adjusted prevalence ratio (RPa) 0.94; 95% confidence interval (95% IC) 0.90-0.98, town and country vs. capital-large city both with an RPa 0.95; 95% CI 0.91-0.99. With natural region rest of the Coast vs Lima with RPa 0.94; 95% CI 0.91-0.98, Sierra vs Lima with RPa 0.95; 95% CI 0.92-0.99 and Jungle vs Lima with RPa 0.94; 95% CI 0.90-0.98).

Conclusion:

The place of residence and the natural region are geographic barriers to the use ≥1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste in children aged between 1 and 11 years in Peru in 2018.
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

El objetivo de este fue determinar las barreras geográficas para el uso de igual o más de 1000 (≥1000) partes por millón (ppm) de pasta dental con flúor (F) en niños de 1 a 11 años en Perú en 2018. Material y

Métodos:

Se trata de un estudio transversal, la base de datos de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) del Perú en 2018 fue usada con una muestra de 25 660 registros de niños entre 1 y 11 años. Las variables evaluadas fueron el uso de pasta dental ≥1000 ppm F, lugar de residencia, región natural, área de residencia, región, índice de riqueza, acceso al servicio odontológico, si se recibió información sobre higiene bucal, cepillado diario de dientes, edad y sexo. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo, bivariado (Chi cuadrado) y multivariado (regresión loglineal de Poisson).

Resultados:

Se encontró una asociación entre el uso de pasta dental ≥1000 ppm F con el lugar de residencia ciudad pequeña vs ciudad capital-grande con una razón de prevalencia ajustada (RPa) 0,94; intervalo de confianza de 95% (IC 95%) 0,90-0,98, ciudad y campo vs. capital-grande ciudad ambos con un RPa 0,95; IC 95% 0,91-0,99. Con región natural resto de la Costa vs Lima con RPa 0,94; IC 95% 0,91-0,98, Sierra vs Lima con RPa 0,95; IC 95% 0,92-0,99 y Selva vs Lima con RPa 0,94; 95% % CI 0,90-0,98.

Conclusión:

El lugar de residencia y la región natural son barreras geográficas para el uso de pasta dental fluorada ≥1000 ppm en niños de 1 a 11 años en Perú en 2018.
