Abstract
Para documentar níveis de doença bucal no Brasil, e avaliar determinantes da experiência de cárie, estudou-se a condição dentária de 26.641 crianças de cinco anos de idade, conforme dados fornecidos por um levantamento nacional de saúde bucal realizado em 2002-3, compreendendo 250 cidades. A prevalência de cárie não tratada foi associada a características sociodemográficas das crianças examinadas e condições geográficas das cidades participantes, através de análise multinível. As regiões brasileiras com melhores indicadores sociais apresentaram perfil mais favorável de saúde bucal. Crianças negras e pardas, e aquelas estudando em áreas rurais e em pré-escolas públicas, apresentaram chance significantemente mais elevada de terem dentes decíduos cariados não tratados. O perfil de saúde bucal das cidades foi associado com a adição de flúor à água de abastecimento público, a proporção de domicílios ligados à rede de águas e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano. A experiência de cárie dentária é suscetível a desigualdades sociodemográficas e geográficas; o monitoramento dos contrastes em saúde bucal é relevante para a programação de intervenções socialmente apropriadas, dirigidas a melhorias globais e ao direcionamento de recursos para grupos de população com níveis mais elevados de necessidades.
To document levels of dental disease in Brazil, and to appraise contextual and individual determinants of caries experience, we studied the dental status of 26,641 five-year-old schoolchildren, as informed by a country-wide survey of oral health comprising 250 towns and performed in 2002-3. The prevalence of untreated caries was associated with socio-demographic characteristics of examined children (gender, ethnic group, localisation and type of school), and geographic conditions of participating towns (human development index, and differential levels of access to fluoridated tap water), in a multilevel assessment. Better-off Brazilian regions presented an improved profile of dental health. Black children and those studying in rural areas and public schools presented significantly higher odds of having untreated caries. At the town level, dental caries was associated with the fluoride status of tap water, the proportion of households linked to the water network, and with the human development index. Dental caries experience is prone to socio-demographic and geographic inequalities; the monitoring of contrasts in dental outcomes is relevant for programming socially appropriate interventions aimed at improving oral health by targeting groups of population presenting higher levels of needs.
