Abstract:

Given the limited comprehension of the indigenous oral health profile, this study proposed to understand the self-perception of oral health of this population group. The objective of this study was to verify the association of the self-perceived impact of oral health in diary life with sociodemographic and oral health characteristics among indigenous people aged 10 to 14 years of the ethnic group XukuruOrorubá, Pesqueira - PE, Brazil. It is a cross-sectional study conductedJanuary to March 2010, involving oral examinations and questionnaires applied to 233 indigenous belonging to the age group. Using the latent class analysis model, the variable \"impact on oral health\" was created and applied to simple and multiple logistic regression models. The results pointed out that villages with highest mean of households and indigenous with caries experience presented worse self-perception, increasing the \"impact on oral health\" by 2,37 and 3,95 times, respectively. The Latent Class Analysis was an excellent strategy for understanding the self-perception of indigenous oral health and its relation with associated factors.
