Abstract
to describe dental caries occurrence and dental care received among 12-year-old schoolchildren in a small town in the Amazon region according to sex and area of residence.
this was a descriptive study conducted in Acrelandia-AC, Brazil, in 2010; DMFT and dental care indexes were estimated in accordance with World Health Organization recommendations.
186 schoolchildren participated, 47.8% were girls and 41.4% lived in the rural area; DMFT was 2.15 (1.77;2.52) without differences between the categories; the care index was 32.8%, with higher rates for the rural area (p<0.001).
although they lived in a non-fluoridated area, the schoolchildren had a caries experience and dental care pattern closer to that of Brazil as a whole rather than that of the Northern region; the hypothesis of association with the level of human development and the performance of Family Health Strategy Oral Health teams is discussed.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 April 2016.
All research outputs
#22,760,732
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Epidemiologia e Serviços de Saúde
#324
of 411 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#341,819
of 399,677 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Epidemiologia e Serviços de Saúde
#13
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 411 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,677 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
