Abstract

OBJECTIVE: to describe the need for dental treatment and absenteeism in schoolchildren and correlate them with socioeconomic factors. METHODOLOGY: ecological, longitudinal, retrospective, descriptive study with risk classifications of schoolchildren for treatment need and absenteeism. RESULTS: need for treatment 2016: 22%, 2019: 28% and absenteeism 2016: 84%, 2019: 79%. Correlations: need for treatment P0: 2016- significant and positive: race/black color, complete high school; significant and negative: walking path; non-significant and negative: not working and no health insurance. 2019- significant and positive: complete high school, no health insurance; non-significant and positive: race/black color; significant and negative: not working; non-significant and negative: walking path. Absenteeism: 2016- significant and negative: race/black color, complete high school, walking path, no health insurance; non-significant and negative: not working. 2019- significant and negative: black race/color, complete high school, no health insurance; non-significant and negative: walking and not working. CONCLUSION: there was an average increase of 6% in the need for treatment and an average reduction of 5% in absenteeism in 2019; the correlations showed varying patterns of distribution in the years of the study, in addition to all the negative correlations between socioeconomic indicators and absenteeism in 2016 and 2019.
