Abstract:

The aim of this study was to identify individual and contextual factors associated with self-perceived need for dental treatment and need for prostheses among elderly Brazilians. An analysis was performed with data from the SB Brazil 2010 epidemiological survey conducted by the Ministry of Health with a sample of 7,619 elderly individuals. Multilevel logistic regression models of mixed effects (random and fixed) were used to estimate odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) between the dependent variables and individual and contextual factors. 3,848 (50.5%) of the individuals reported a need for dental treatment and 4,236 (55.6%) believed they have prosthesis need. The results of multilevel logistic regression showed that gender, self-reported skin color, income and coverage by the oral health teams in the Family Health Strategy were associated with self-perception. This study showed greater influence of individual factors on the self-perceived need for dental treatment and prosthesis by the Brazilian elderly. This information can help to identify the inequalities that affect this population and in setting priorities for the planning of health services.
