Aim: Determine the factors associated with the prevalence of dental caries in children treated at a pediatric dentistry clinic in the north of Minas Gerais.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional, documentary study with a quantitative approach, through the evaluation of medical records at the pediatric dentistry clinic and data tabulation in the Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) software version 23.0 for MacBook. Children and adolescents aged 2 to 12 years who underwent at least one clinical procedure session were included. Records that did not present data related to the clinical examination or that did not contain the signature of the legal guardian were excluded.
Results: 459 medical records were evaluated, 45 of which were excluded due to the absence of intraoral clinical examination. The final sample consisted of 414 medical records of children and adolescents. Of those evaluated, 55.56% (n = 230) were male, and the average age was 7.6 years. The presence of cavitated carious lesions in primary and/or permanent teeth was observed in 72.95% of individuals, and they had unsatisfactory oral hygiene in 91.87% of cases. Furthermore, children and adolescents without the presence of cavities went to the dentist for periodic check-ups in 43.27% of those evaluated.
Conclusion: A high prevalence of carious lesions was found, related to the habits of those evaluated; therefore, preventive measures and early oral health treatment must be acquired, seeking to minimize problems and losses in oral health.
