Abstract
Um estudo seccional foi desenvolvido na cidade de Bambuí, Minas Gerais, com o objetivo de identificar fatores associados ao uso regular de serviços odontológicos entre adultos. Os participantes foram entrevistados utilizando-se um questionário estruturado e questões previamente validadas. Um total de 999/1221 (81,8%) indivíduos com idade > ou = 18 anos selecionados aleatoriamente participaram do inquérito de saúde bucal. Destes, 654 entre 656 indivíduos que possuíam pelo menos um dente natural e haviam visitado o dentista pelo menos uma vez na vida participaram do presente trabalho. Resultados ajustados pela regressão logística múltipla mostraram que o uso regular de serviços odontológicos foi significativamente associado a ter > ou = 8 e 4-7 anos de escolaridade (OR = 9,90; IC 95% = 2,90-33,77 e OR = 3,87; IC 95% = 1,11-13,51, respectivamente), ter preferência para tratamento dentário restaurador em comparação à extração (OR = 4,91; IC 95% = 2,23-10,79), não ter necessidade atual de tratamento dentário (OR = 4,87; IC 95% = 3,17-7,49) e acreditar que ir ao dentista previne a cárie e a doença na gengiva (OR = 1,73; IC 95% = 1,13-2,65). Os resultados mostram que o uso regular de serviços odontológicos na população estudada foi explicado nas diferentes dimensões do modelo elaborado por Andersen & Newman (1973). A cross-sectional study was conducted in Bambuí, Minas Gerais, to identify factors associated with regular use of dental services. Participants were interviewed with a structured questionnaire and previously validated questions. 999/1,221 (81.8%) randomly selected individuals aged > 18 years participated in the Bambuí dental survey. Of these, 654 out of 656 individuals who had at least one natural tooth and had visited a dentist during their lifetime participated in the study. Results adjusted by multiple logistic regression showed that regular use of dental services was significantly related to having > 8 and 4-7 years of schooling (OR = 9.90; 95% CI = 2.90-33.77 and OR = 3.87; 95% CI = 1.11-13.51, respectively), having a preference for restorative treatment rather than extraction (OR = 4.91; 95% CI = 2.23-10.79), having no present need of dental treatment (OR = 4.87; 95% CI = 3.17-7.49), and belief that visiting the dentist prevents tooth decay and gum disease (OR = 1.73; 95% CI = 1.13-2.65). The results show that regular use of dental services was related to factors distributed in the Andersen and Newman model (1973) explaining use of dentistry servicesKeywords
