Fatores individuais associados à má oclusão em adolescentes

Résumé 0

"The study aimed to identify the severi - ty of malocclusions and associated factors among Brazilian adolescents. Data from 5,445 adoles - cents participating in the Brazilian Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010) were evaluated, of which 4,276 were included in the study based on the in - clusion criteria. The dependent variable was se - vere and very severe malocclusion, according to the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI > 30). The in - dependent variables were place of residence, mac - ro-region, self-reported ethnicity, income, gender, schooling, access to dental care, untreated caries and front and back teeth loss due to caries. A hi - erarchical multiple logistical regression analysis was performed, considering the complex cluster sampling plan. Prevalence of severe/very severe malocclusions was 17.5%. After adjustments, black/brown ethnicity group (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.09-2.34), lower household income (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.55-0-82), front (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.14-4.76) and back teeth (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.14-1.84) loss due to caries were associated with the outcome. Therefore, we conclude that black/ brown ethnicity, lower household income and greater number of front and back teeth loss due to caries increased the odds for severe/very severe malocclusion."
