This thesis describes the oral health of New South Wales (NSW) children aged 5-12 years by socioeconomic (SES) characteristics utilising the individual-, school- and area-level socioeconomic indicators. It also quantifies the usefulness of SES indicators for targeting of dental services. Methods: A cross-sectional study of NSW 5-12 year-olds was conducted in 2007 using a multi-stage, stratified, cluster sample approach. Explanatory SES variables were explored at three levels: individual, school and area. Caries prevalence, caries severity and significant caries were calculated. Bivariate analysis was undertaken. Prevalence ratios (PR) of caries prevalence and SiC10 were modelled by Poisson regression (PROC LOGLINK, SUDAAN 10.0). Rate ratios (RR) of caries severity were modelled using Poisson regression (PROC GENMOD, SAS 9.2). Multi-level analysis (SAS PROC GLIMMIX) was undertaken accounting for the nested structure. Use of SES variables to target dental services was examined using number of cases, relative risk and population attributable fraction (PAF%). Results: Just under 40% of NSW children had a prevalence of deciduous caries with mean dmfs of 3.18 surfaces and just over 22% had experienced permanent caries with mean DMFS of 0.61 surfaces. Variation in oral health by SES indicators: There was significant variation in caries prevalence, caries severity and SiC10 by socioeconomic characteristics; children from the lowest SES category had significantly higher caries prevalence and severity compared to the highest SES category for all SES indicators in both the deciduous and permanent dentition. Membership of the SiC10 group showed lower SES groups had a higher proportion of children who formed part of the SiC10 group. Associations across individual, school and area-level SES indicators: In the final models, income was significant for all three caries measures for both dentitions. The children from the lowest income category had significantly higher odds of caries, more severe caries and membership of the SiC10 group. School type as an explanatory factor was not significant for caries prevalence and SiC10 in the multi-level model, although the children attending a disadvantaged public school had significantly higher odds of permanent caries severity. Effectiveness of targeting by SES indicators: In both the deciduous and permanent dentition there were fewer cases of caries and SiC10 cases in the designated SES target group, the lowest SES group, than outside the designated target group. SES demonstrated a low population attributable fraction for deciduous and permanent caries prevalence, caries severity and significant caries. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that caries was higher among lower SES groups whether measured by individual, school or area characteristics. In many instances there were three and five-fold differences among those in the lowest SES categories providing a consistent association with poor oral health. Income was independently associated with variation in child oral health when adjusting for the nested structure. Low SES categories did not identify the majority of those with caries or the highest levels of caries and would therefore be limited as a basis for a targeted oral health strategy and a population health focus that uses a social determinants approach would be more appropriate.

Poor oral health afflicts many low-income and other vulnerable populations. Lack of access to oral health can lead to unnecessary tooth decay, periodontal disease, pain, and the advancement of oral cancer. The absence of preventive care often leads to unnecessary and expensive visits to hospital-based emergency departments to address the pain of dental disease but not the causal conditions. The consequences on inequitable access to dental care are significant for individuals, families and communities. The OHICAN pilot project looked to address the lack of equitable access to care by creating new points of access, training medical providers to perform oral exams and apply fluoride when indicated, thus increasing the oral health workforce, utilizing technology to bridge clinical practice, education, training and research, educating stakeholders to allow dental hygienists to provide preventive care under general supervision, and creating business models that will assist others who seek to create a dental home for those they serve. Social, political and economic forces all contribute to varying degrees in terms of equity in healthcare. The work of OHICAN was designed to create a blueprint for potential solutions to these issues in order to foster oral health equity. Changes to improve access to dental care can take place in a relatively short period of time when all who care and are impacted by this continued unmet oral health need work together.

This report presents findings from adult patients receiving public dental care. Patients eligible for public dental care are primarily holders of government entitlement cards such as aged pensioners and the unemployed. Findings are presented on tooth loss, dental caries and periodontal disease, and comparisons are made between public dental patients and the Australian population using data from the National Survey of Adult Oral Health 2004-06. The higher prevalence of an inadequate dentition, presence of decayed teeth and periodontal pockets among public dental patients compared to the Australian population indicates that this low income group suffers from disadvantage in oral health status related to their lower socio-economic status and ability to access dental services.
