RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of dental caries and the relationship of risk and DMFT with socioeconomic variables, health habits and access to health services on users of the Family Health Units in the city of Amparo, SP. The study was structured from 109 users, born after 1989, who had the last dental treatment completed in 2003 and subsequent evaluation in 2010. Risk criteria for dental caries used were those proposed by the Health Department of São Paulo. To test the association between the dependent variables (risk and DMFT) with the independent variables (age, income, number of family, education, housing, car ownership, hygiene and access to health services) was used bivariate analysis by Chi-square at significance level of 5%. It was observed that there was a significant increase in mean DMFT in all age groups, between the years 2003 and 2010. Of the 109 individuals, 49 and 60 increased the DMFT index remained between the years of study. As for the risk for dental caries, among 109 examined, 49 remained or moved to the risk B, and 55 remained at risk and the risk migrated 5 B to E, between the years 2003 and 2010. Of the 60 individuals classified as high risk (E) in 2010, 41 had reduced the need for treatment and 19 of these had increased. There was a statistically significant association between the DMFT and variable access to health services and between the variable risk to dental caries DMFT, access to health services and the reason for the demand.
