Abstract:

The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the non-attendance of users to orthodontic treatment in three Regional Centers of Dental Specialties (CEO-R) located in the state of Ceará. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional epidemiological study with secondary data source of 3 CEO-R. 237 medical records of complete orthodontic treatments were examined with 8.283 appointments and 2.665 (32,17%) missing appointments. Data collection was standardized by an electronic questionnaire. Factors associated with non-attendance of users was calculated at the rate of faults and thematic maps based on distributions to the geographical pattern of occurrence. To evaluate the association between the outcome variable (faults to treatment) and the independent variables (sex, age, unit break, change of professional, income and place of residence of the user) was used the multiple logistic regression analysis with p ≤ 0.05. Results: There were high faults rates for both cities headquarters and not CEO-R headquarters. The variable change of professional showed statistical significance with the number of faults. Conclusion: The highest number of faults was associated with the change of professional.
