Previous issue date: 2013-02-22 / Many surveys are conducted comparing oral health conditions with individual variables, such as socioeconomic and demographic factors. However, in the same way that individuals differ among themselves, the groups also have their own characteristics and the effects of this differentiation must be researched. Brazil, despite being one of the major economic powers of the world and shows an improvement in the average value of its health indicators, is also one of the most unequal and remains among the countries with the greatest health inequities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of social determinants on the contextual level oral health among Brazilian adolescents, population not much researched by the literature. The research was made using an ecological approach in order to identify possible inequalities between cities and capitals. Using data from SBBrasil 2010 it was evaluated less common outcomes (loss of first molar, dental care index and T-Health) which provide information on the degree of morbidity of caries and health level of dental tissues, in addition to analyze the related services. The association of these oral health indicators with socioeconomic factors such as income, employment, education and inequality, collected from Census 2010, was analyzed by simple and multiple linear regressions. The study included the 27 state capitals and four clusters representing the municipalities of the country. It was possible to see better access to services in locations with better income distribution. However, the strong association of contextual factors related to poverty, low levels of education and poor housing and jobs with poorer levels of oral health in adolescents seems to overshadow the effects of income inequalities on dental caries in the country. In some locations, particularly within the North and Northeast, whichever one keeps dentistry mutilating, whose effects are already noticeable in its adolescent population. Access to restorative services in Brazil remains limited and unequal. The results of this study highlight the inequities in oral health in the country and show the need of the inclusion of new perspectives on the traditional approach of Preventive Dentistry and education models in Dentistry. Tackling health inequalities in oral health in the country requires the cooperation of various actors involved in the process and the inclusion of oral health in the context of overall health. The social determinants approach, as well as evaluating the distribution of oral diseases in the country and its inclusion in the context of overall health, should guide the implementation of programs and oral health practices in order to contribute to the reduction of inequalities / Muitas pesquisas s?o realizadas confrontando condi??es de sa?de bucal com vari?veis individuais, como fatores socioecon?micos e demogr?ficos. No entanto, da mesma forma que os indiv?duos divergem entre si, os grupos tamb?m possuem caracter?sticas pr?prias e os efeitos dessa diferencia??o precisam ser pesquisados. O Brasil, apesar de ser uma das maiores pot?ncias econ?micas do mundo e vir apresentando uma melhoria no valor m?dio de seus indicadores de sa?de, ? tamb?m um dos mais desiguais e permanece entre os pa?ses com maiores iniquidades em sa?de. A proposta deste estudo foi pesquisar a import?ncia dos determinantes sociais a n?vel contextual na sa?de bucal de adolescentes brasileiros, popula??o pouco pesquisada na literatura. A pesquisa foi feita atrav?s de uma abordagem ecol?gica, no intuito de identificar poss?veis desigualdades entre munic?pios e capitais. Utilizando dados do SBBrasil 2010, foram avaliados desfechos menos comuns (perda do 1? molar, ?ndice de cuidados odontol?gicos e T-Health) que fornecem informa??es sobre o grau de morbidade da c?rie e o n?vel de sa?de dos tecidos dent?rios, al?m de abordar aspectos relacionados aos servi?os. A associa??o destes indicadores de sa?de bucal com fatores socioecon?micos como renda, emprego, educa??o e desigualdade, coletados do CENSO 2010, foi analisada por meio de regress?o linear simples e m?ltipla. Os dom?nios do estudo inclu?ram as 27 capitais brasileiras e 4 clusters representativos dos munic?pios do interior do pa?s. Foi poss?vel constatar um melhor acesso aos servi?os em localidades com melhor distribui??o de renda. No entanto, a forte associa??o de fatores contextuais relativos ? pobreza, baixos n?veis de educa??o e m?s condi??es de moradia e emprego com piores n?veis de sa?de bucal em adolescentes parece ofuscar os efeitos das desigualdades de renda sobre os agravos bucais no pa?s. Em algumas localidades, em especial no interior das regi?es Norte e Nordeste, continua prevalecendo uma odontologia mutiladora, cujos efeitos s?o percept?veis j? em sua popula??o adolescente. O acesso aos servi?os restauradores no Brasil ainda permanece limitado e desigual. Os resultados deste estudo evidenciam as iniquidades em sa?de bucal no pa?s e mostram a necessidade da inclus?o de novas perspectivas na abordagem tradicional da Odontologia Preventiva e nos modelos de educa??o em Odontologia. O combate a essas iniquidades requer a coopera??o dos v?rios autores envolvidos no processo e a inclus?o da sa?de bucal no contexto da sa?de geral. A abordagem dos determinantes sociais, bem como a avalia??o da distribui??o das doen?as bucais no territ?rio brasileiro e sua inclus?o no contexto da sa?de em geral, devem nortear a implementa??o de programas e a??es em sa?de bucal, de forma a contribuir para a redu??o das desigualdades
