Article Synopsis
- This study examined the link between socioeconomic factors and dental caries stages in children aged 1-5 in Diamantina, Brazil, involving 759 preschoolers.
- Parents/caregivers provided data on socioeconomic status, and children were categorized into caries-free, no obvious decay, and obvious decay groups.
- Statistical analysis indicated that a higher number of income-dependent individuals was linked to "no obvious decay," while factors like age, public preschool attendance, and lack of dental access were associated with increased "obvious decay."
