Resumo:
Objetivo: Analisar se a raça pode ser considerada um fator limitante na utilização dos serviços odontológicos por idosos. Metodologia: O presente estudo é de caráter analítico, com a utilização de dados secundários coletados pela Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal em 2003. Foram incluídos os examinados que se declararam como brancos, pardos ou pretos, na faixa etária de 65 a 74 anos. O número amostral foi composto por 5.108 idosos sendo 2.575 brancos e 2.533 negros. Para análise bivariada foi usado o teste Qui-quadrado e para análise multivariada um modelo de regressão logística. Resultados: Dos brancos 3,8% afirmaram nunca terem ido ao dentista enquanto que para os negros esse valor é de 7,8%. Mesmo após o ajuste com interceptação de necessidade de prótese e dor, a chance do idoso negro não ter utilizado o serviço odontológico pelo menos uma vez na vida é 0.62 OR menor que para um idoso branco. Dos que utilizaram os serviços, 21,2% dos idosos brancos visitaram o dentista no último ano, enquanto para os negros o valor foi de 14,2%, no modelo ajustado interceptado pela necessidade de prótese e dor o OR foi de 0.60. Todas as relações foram estatisticamente significantes (p<0,001). Conclusões: A raça é um fator limitante na utilização dos serviços odontológicos por idosos e, mesmo após ajustes, os idosos negros permanecem com maior dificuldade na utilização dos serviços de saúde bucal.

Abstract:
Objective: Analyze if the breed can be considered a limiting factor in the utilization of dental services by the elderly. Methodology: The present study has an analytical character, with the utilization of secondary data collected by the National Survey of Oral Health in 2003. Were included the examined that declared themselves as white, brown or black, at the age group of 65 to 74 years. The sample number was composed by 5.108 elderly being 2.575 white and 2.533 black. The Chi-square test was used to the bivariate analysis and a logistic regression model to the multivariate analysis. Results: Of the white, 3,8% stated that have never gone to the dentist while to the black this value is 7,8%. Even after the adjustment with interception of denture need and pain, the chance of the black elderly not have used the dentistry service at least once in their life is 0.62 OR less than to a white elderly. Of those that used the services, 21,2% of the white elderly visited the dentist in the last year, while to the black the value was 14,2%, in the adjusted model intercepted by the need of denture and pain the OR was 0.60. All the relations were statistically significant. Conclusions: The breed is a limiting factor in the utilization of dental services by the elderly and, even after the adjustments, the black elderly remain with higher difficulty in the use of oral health services.
