ARAUJO, Roberta Lima Machado de Souza et al. Self-reported tooth extractions and associated factors in quilombola communities in the semi-arid region of Bahia state, Brazil, 2016. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, e2018428. Epub 11-Maio-2020. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742020000200011.
Objective:
to estimate the prevalence of self-reported tooth extractions and analyze associated factors in quilombola communities in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil.
Methods:
this was a cross-sectional study, with 864 quilombolas; association between self-reported tooth extractions (no experience of extraction; ≤5 extracted teeth; >5 extracted teeth), and possible associated factors was estimated using multinomial logistic regression, with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI).
Results:
tooth extractions were self-reported by 82.0% of quilombolas, 49.8% of whom had ≤5 teeth extracted and 32.2% of whom had >5 teeth extracted; greater likelihood of tooth extraction was associated with being male (adjusted OR = 1.7 - 95%CI1.1;2.7), working as an unregistered worker (adjusted OR = 2.7 - 95%CI1.3;5.7), being ≥60 years old (adjusted OR = 5.2 - 95%CI1.9;14.1) and reporting having dental caries (adjusted OR = 4.1 - 95%CI2.5;6.7).
Conclusion:
tooth extractions are associated with social vulnerability conditions experienced by the quilombolas of the semi-arid region of Bahia state.
