Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows dental caries prevalence in children from Quilombola territories, highlighting social determinants and intersectionality.

Key Points

  • Dental caries experience is significantly associated with self-attribution as Quilombola and a cariogenic diet.
  • The study found that socioeconomic factors and ethnic-racial declaration notably influence dental health among these children.
  • A cross-sectional epidemiological survey assessed the oral health of children aged 5 to 8 in a quilombola territory.
  • Findings indicate that social determinants contribute to health inequalities in Quilombola communities, emphasizing the importance of intersectionality.
