he 2010 Indian Health Service (IHS) oral health basic screening survey (BSS) of oral health status for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children ages 1 through 5 years nationwide found substantial differences in caries prevalence between different IHS service areas. The reasons for these differences are not well understood. Socioeconomic status (SES) may be a related factor, as it is well established that SES is a strong predictor of caries prevalence. However, it is possible that some IHS service areas have managed to achieve relatively low caries prevalence despite low SES. This observational study examined associations between caries prevalence among preschool-aged AI/AN children and county-level SES to identify service areas in which caries prevalence was not well explained by SES.Two sources of data were used for this study. Caries prevalence data among children ages 1 through 5 years from 76 study sites was drawn from the 2010 IHS BSS. Demographic, economic and social information describing the AI/AN population in the county for each of the 76 sites were selected from the American Community Survey. Associations between county SES characteristics and study site caries prevalence were examined using correlation and linear regression analyses. Of the 76 study sites evaluated during the 2010 IHS BSS, caries outcomes and SES indicators varied widely. The percentage of children having experienced dental decay ranged from 14% to 88%, and percentage of children with untreated decay ranged from 0.5% to 74%. Percentage of decayed teeth overall ranged from 2.7% to 37.9%. Median annual income of the county ranged from $17,778 to $63,000; unemployment ranged from 6.4% to 32.9%, and percentage of the AI/AN population with a bachelor's degree ranged from 3% to 22.5%. Median income, unemployment, and educational all showed some correlation with caries prevalence. Linear regression analysis found that of the SES indicators studied, the SES indicator most predictive of caries prevalence was the percentage of the population having attained a bachelor's degree or a higher level of college education (part R2 11% - 22%). Multivariate linear regression analysis adjusting for median income, % unemployment, and % bachelor's degree found that these three SES indicators taken together can explain 29% of the variation observed in percent of teeth with decay, 21% of the variation in any decay experience, and 16% of the variation in any untreated decay. For many study sites, caries prevalence was much higher or lower than what would be predicted based on SES indicators. Sites with the highest and lowest observed caries prevalence tended to also be the sites with highest and lowest observed-predicted values: the healthiest and least healthy areas remained the healthiest and least healthy even after accounting for SES. Caries prevalence within the IHS BSS communities studied was not always well explained by SES, indicating that other factors may be contributing to caries prevalence. These communities should be studied further to discover what factors may be more related to caries prevalence.

Oral health disparities are profound worldwide, and they affect the quality of life of individuals of all age groups. Disparities in oral health are seen in racial and ethnic minorities, at different socioeconomic levels and due to differences in environment and cultural factors. Several determinants of oral health have been identified at the population, community, family and individual levels. These determinants represent a complex interplay of the social, biological, cultural and economic factors that in turn affect the oral health behaviors, environmental exposures, health care utilization. To date, biological factors related to oral diseases have received much attention in oral health research; whilst social and cultural determinants have just started to receive recognition for their role in oral disease development and progression. This research highlights that interventions designed to reduce disparities should adopt a multi-level approach in order to identify the modifiable mechanisms and target all determinants of oral health disparities. In this Research Topic, we will focus on the role of social, environmental and cultural factors in the development and progression of oral diseases, their role in oral health disparities and interventions focusing on these factors to improve oral health and reduce disparities.

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.

This collaborative work provides a detailed snapshot of child oral health in Australia. In doing so, it describes the levels of dental caries and its components, dental fluorosis and other oral health conditions and how they vary by social characteristics. It also describes protective factors such as toothbrushing, the use of fluoridated toothpastes and making dental visits. The 2012–14 National Child Oral Health Study (NCOHS) was a cross-sectional study of the child population aged 5 to 14 years in Australia. A total of 24,664 children from 841 participating schools completed the study. The study sample was selected in a complex multistage, stratified sampling design. Sophisticated weighting procedure was employed to adjust for variations in probabilities of selection and response rates. Therefore, this report presents estimates as representative of child oral health in Australia. Information was collected via a parental questionnaire and a detailed dental examination by trained dental professionals.
