Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the association between age at the first dental visit and the type of dental treatment performed in infant patients. Methods: Data collection was performed through medical records of patients aged 0-5 years treated at a Dental School Clinic, from March 2014 to July 2018, with information regarding the characteristics of the participants and dental procedures performed. For the data analysis, descriptive measures were calculated and the data was later fitted into a logistic regression model; the outcome was having received invasive treatments (endodontics and/or extraction). Results: Medical records of 210 children were evaluated, with a mean age at the first dental visit of 38 months (SD = 14.5). Fluoride therapy and/or dental restoration, classified as non-invasive treatments, were performed in 74.8% of children, while invasive treatments were performed in 25.2% of the sample. The adjusted analysis indicated an increase (OR = 1.03, p = 0.027) in the odds of performing invasive treatments with the increase in the children's age at the first dental visit, that is, the older the children at the first appointment, the greater the odds of having received invasive treatment. Conclusion: The importance of dental consultation in the first months of life is emphasized, with the purpose of preventing and maintaining oral health.
