Cross-sectional study with datathe last National Oral Health Survey (SB Brazil 2010), which considered the sample of 7619 elderly (65-74 years) for analysis. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used, investigating the association between latent or observed variables, directly or mediated, in relation to the use of oral health services. Least squares estimators adjusted by mean and variance were used by means of standardized coefficients, standard error and confidence intervals, with the bootstrapping method with 1500 iterations, model fit indices and significant associations with p
