Overview

Repeated cross-sectional study finds oral health associations with school performance have weakened among Brazilian adolescents.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how school performance and socioeconomic conditions affect dental health in adolescents.
  • Analyzed data from two nationally representative surveys conducted in Brazil in 2010 and 2023.
  • Used multilevel logistic models to evaluate associations between school performance and oral health outcomes, adjusting for various factors.
  • In 2010, a higher Public School Performance Score significantly reduced odds of untreated caries (OR = 0.92) and tooth loss (OR = 0.88).
  • By 2023, these associations weakened with caries OR at 0.97 and tooth loss OR at 0.95, no longer statistically significant.
