Abstract:

Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence and the associated factors with the indication of dental extraction in the adult Kiriri Indigenous population of northeastern Brazil. Materials and Methods: 225 natives (≥19 years) were evaluated. The extraction criteria were teeth with clinical attachment loss ≥50% in at least 3 sites, and residual roots. Statistical models were used to evaluate associations between need for dental extraction and ed variables. Results: The percentage of teeth with indication for dental extraction was 4.98%, characterizing a mean of 1.24 tooth per individual. A regression analysis showed that age ≥ 35 years (OR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.13 - 4.43, p = 0.02), income
