Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the dental carethe perspective of the life course and its determinants in young people in the city of Sobral, Ceará, Brazil. We conducted a cohort study with waves in 2000, 2006 and 2012 with 482 young people between 17 and 21 years. Two outcomes were investigated: the immediate dental care and the lack of dental care, based on the dental trajectory in relation to restorative treatment. And as independent variables, we used the socioeconomic conditions and use of services and oral health actions in three waves investigated. It was found that low socioeconomic status throughout life presented themselves as a risk factor for lack of dental care and the inverse effect was observed with immediate dental care. Participation in groups of teenagers also were related to dental care as well as receive information on oral health. This study revealed the presence of inequities in dental care throughout life.
