Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between social detrminants of health and biofilm accumulation and oral mucosa status in the elderly. This cross-sectional study, conducted between 2004 and 2005, included 785 elderly residents in Carlos Barbosa, RS. Questionnaires were used to collect the variables related to social determinants of health. The physical examination of the oral structures comprised the Mucosa-Plaque Index proposed by Henriksen (MPS) were used to evaluate the three outcomes: MS (buccal mucosa), PS (biofilm accumulation) and MPS (buccal mucosa + biofilm accumulation). A higher prevalence of moderate/severe plaque accumulation was observed in the older age group, in males and in less educated elderly. The use of full upper dentures and lower income were protective factors for moderate/severe plaque accumulation. Only male gender (OR = 2.13, 95% CI 1.26 to 3.61) and lower education (OR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.78) remained associated with an unacceptable MPS score. The findings suggest that older male and less educated are more likely to have poor oral health.
