Abstract

Objective: this study assessed the association of the socioeconomic status of families and the knowledge of parents regarding oral health in caries experience, as well as the oral health-related quality of life of 12-year-old schoolchildren in the city of Estação, RS, Brazil. Methods: an epidemiological survey included the assessment of 50 children (response rate: 81%) through clinical oral examinations using the index of permanent decayed, missed and filled teeth (DMF-T) as diagnostic criterion. Structured interviews were also conducted using the Brazilian short version of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ11-14) to measure the impact of oral health conditions on quality of life. The parents answered a questionnaire about the socioeconomic status of the family, search for dental care, and oral health knowledge. Three different outcomes were considered: caries experience, presence of untreated caries, and severity of CPQ11-14. Results: The prevalence of caries was 46% from which 24% presented at least one tooth with an untreated cavity. Caries experience and the presence of untreated caries were associated with psychological factors (oral health self-perception) and socioeconomic factors (having health insurance and type of dental service used). In addition, oral health self-perception was associated with socioeconomic factors and the knowledge of parents on oral health. Conclusion: psychosocial factors, economic status of the family, and the knowledge of parents on oral health are associated with the occurrence of caries and the higher impact on the quality of life in schoolchildren.
