When the multivariate analysis, the higher prevalence of dental pain in life, remained among lower age adolescents (76.9%;p=0.003) and who related fear (74.9%;p=0.006). The prevalence of dental pain on the last 6 months remained low at the multivariate analysis, among the male sex adolescents (77.4%;p=0.002) and of higher age (73.1%; p=0.037).
