It is known that assess pain in children under 6 years is a limiting factor for the understanding of the object of study, though dental pain in this age group is little explored regarding factors that may influence its occurrence. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and factors associated with dental pain in Brazilian children aged 5 years. For this cross-sectional study, we used data related to dental pain in all 5 year-old children, both sexes, obtained from the Brasilian National Oral Health Survey (SBBrasil 2010). The dependent variable was the reporting dental pain in the last 6 months. The independent variables were contextual (cities level) that included socioeconomic and individual factors (related to children) that included sociodemographic variables, dental service use and oral health condition. Descriptive and inferential test (Rao-Scott) statistic was performed, considering the sample weights and complex samples, the IBM SPSS software, version 21.0. Multilevel analysis using hierarchical Poisson regression models was performed in MLwiN software, with prevalence ratio (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimates. Participants were 7,280 children and the prevalence of dental pain was 22.0% (95% CI 19.1%-25.2%). It was higher among those living in cities with lower Human Development Index (PR 0.07; 95% CI 0.02-0.22), and with a higher percentage of their population with an incomplete primary education (PR 1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.06). Indigenous children had prevalence of dental pain 1.97 (95% CI 1.19-3.26) times higher than those of white color. Families with monthly incomes of U$ 218.00 or less and between U$ 219.00 and 656.00 had prevalence of dental pain 2.67 (95% CI 1.33-5.32) and 2.11 (95% CI 1.03-4.32) times higher than families with highest income level, respectively. Children with caries experience had a 3.45 (95% CI 2.58-4.62) times higher prevalence of pain than caries-free individuals. It was concluded that the prevalence of dental pain in Brazilian preschool children was high and influenced by contextual and individual factors, revealing the need for policies that contribute to the reduction of inequalities.application/pdfAcesso AbertoDor dentáriaCriança pré-escolarEpidemiologiaFatores socioeconômicosAnálise multinívelDental painPreschool childEpidemiologySocioeconomic factorsMultilevel analysisCIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ODONTOLOGIADissertação
