Abstract

Objectives: To assess the associations between periodontal conditions, dental caries, sex, psychosocial factors, socioeconomic status, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and self-rated oral health among adolescents living in socially deprived neighbourhoods.

Methods: A school-based survey was conducted in a random sample of 406 12-year-old adolescents in 11 neighbourhoods in the East region of Manaus, Brazil. Gingival status, dental calculus (Community Periodontal Index), and dental caries (DMFT index) were registered through clinical examinations. Adolescents self-completed questionnaires to assess psychosocial factors (self-esteem, sense of coherence, and oral health beliefs), socioeconomic status (family income, parent's schooling, number of goods, and house crowding), oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) (CPQ_11-14), and self-rated oral health. Direct and indirect relationships between variables were tested using structural equation modelling guided by the Wilson and Cleary model.

Results: Greater gingival bleeding was directly associated with worse self-rated oral health. Poor OHRQoL was directly linked to the number of teeth with dental calculus, more teeth with dental caries experience, and worse psychosocial factors. Worse socioeconomic status and dental calculus were associated with gingival bleeding. Dental calculus and socioeconomic status were indirectly associated with self-rated oral health via gingival status. OHRQoL mediated the association of dental caries experience and psychosocial factors with self-rated oral health.

Conclusions: Gingival bleeding and dental calculus may negatively affect self-reported oral health in adolescents. Socioeconomic status and psychosocial factors were also relevant determinants for oral health in this age group.

期刊介绍： The aim of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology is to serve as a forum for scientifically based information in community dentistry, with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base in the field. The scope is therefore broad, ranging from original studies in epidemiology, behavioral sciences related to dentistry, and health services research through to methodological reports in program planning, implementation and evaluation. Reports dealing with people of all age groups are welcome. The journal encourages manuscripts which present methodologically detailed scientific research findings from original data collection or analysis of existing databases. Preference is given to new findings. Confirmations of previous findings can be of value, but the journal seeks to avoid needless repetition. It also encourages thoughtful, provocative commentaries on subjects ranging from research methods to public policies. Purely descriptive reports are not encouraged, nor are behavioral science reports with only marginal application to dentistry. The journal is published bimonthly.
