Abstract:

This study aimed to identify factors associated with lack of access to the dental services. Cross-sectional study, probabilistic sample complex with conglomerates in two stages of 857 participants, with more than 18 years. Were made multiple analyze (logistic regression) and multivariate analyze (decision trees). It was considered as variable dependent the lack of access to the dental services. It was identified that 10.3% (n = 88) did not have access. In multiple and multivariate analyzes were verified association with age, and in the logistic regression was found a greater possibility of lack of access to each year of increased age, among those with the lowest per capita income and between those who ranked appearance of teeth and gums as \"fair/poor/very poor\". The lack of access to dental services was greater among most socially vulnerable. There is a need to increase the allocation of public resources that promote health education and generate knowledge about how to access services when they need it, focusing on dental care as a human right and treating to do not occur the lack of access to elder users, between those with low income and also those dissatisfied with the oral appearance.
