ASSOCIATION OF DENTAL PRODUCTION INDICATORS AND THE SOCIAL AND SANITARY CONDITIONS IN PRIMARY HEATH OF JOÃO PESSOA – PB

Abstract

Objective: The aim was to analyze the association of dental indicators of production and the social and sanitary conditions in Primary Heath of João Pessoa - PB. Material and Methods: From the five sanitary districts (DS) of João Pessoa, was collected the dental indicators of production (First Dental Consultation Program - PCOP; Supervised Toothbrush Collective Action - ACES; Basic Individual Dental Procedures - POI, and quotient of the number of tooth extractions and POI - EXO / POI) and indicators of socio-sanitary conditions (treatment and supply of water, destination of garbage, sewage, house type and literacy to 15 years). Information was collected from the Ambulatory Information System (SIA) and Primary Care Information System (SIAB). To test the hypothesis that the socio-sanitary conditions modify the indicators of dental production, was used the Kruskal-wallis test. Results: The DS 3 received the highest scores for social and health indicators, and the DS 4 the highest scores of dental production. It was found no significant association (p> 0.05) between the socio-sanitary and the provision of dental services. Conclusions: The social-sanitary indicators do not modify supply of oral health care. Therefore, the hypothesis tested was found to be false.
