ABSTRACT
AIM:
This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the changes in the number of teeth present and the number of healthy or filled surfaces between two time points. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Repeated cross-sectional data from population-based studies, namely the German Oral Health Studies (DMS-III vs. DMS-V), the Studies of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-START-0 vs. SHIP-TREND-0), and the Jönköping study (2003 vs. 2013), were analysed. Oaxaca decomposition models were constructed for the outcomes (number of teeth, number of healthy surfaces, and number of filled surfaces).RESULTS:
The number of teeth increased between examinations (DMS +2.26 [adults], +4.92 [seniors], SHIP +1.67, Jönköping +0.96). Improvements in education and dental awareness brought a positive change in all outcomes. An increase in powered toothbrushing and inter-dental cleaning had a great impact in DMS (adults +0.25 tooth, +0.78 healthy surface, +0.38 filled surface; seniors +1.19 teeth, 5.79 healthy surfaces, +0.48 filled surface). Inter-dental cleaning decreased by 4% between SHIP-START-0 and SHIP-TREND-0, which negatively affected the outcomes.CONCLUSIONS:
From this study, it can be concluded that education may be the most important factor having a direct and indirect effect on the outcomes. However, for better oral health, powered toothbrushing and inter-dental cleaning should not be neglected.Palavras-chave
