Resumo
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence
of dental pain and associated socio-demographic
and behavioral factors in Brazilian adolescents,
using data from the National School-Based
Health Survey (PeNSE), Brazil, 2009. The survey
was conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Ge-
ography and Statistics (IBGE) and Ministry of
Health in students 11 to 17 years of age or older
in the 27 State capitals, using a self-administered
questionnaire. Analyses included Poisson regres-
sion following a hierarchical approach. Preva-
lence of dental pain in the sample (n = 54,985)
in the previous six months was 17.8% (95%CI:
17.5-18.1). Higher prevalence was associated
with female gender, age 14 years and over, racial
self-identification as black, brown, or indigenous,
enrollment in public schools, lower maternal
schooling, not living with the mother, history of
smoking or drinking, less frequent toothbrush-
ing, and heavy consumption of sweets and soft
drinks. Dental pain was thus associated with
socio-demographic factors and health-related
behaviors.
