| Abstract: | Background: Sense of coherence (SOC) is associated with oral health. Aim: Investigate associations between dental caries experience and SOC among mothers and adolescents. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1195 adolescents and their mothers. Data were collected through a questionnaire, the short version of the SOC and oral clinical examinations. The data were statistically analyzed using bivariate analysis, Poisson regression models with robust variance, and Spearman's correlation coefficient. Results: The prevalence of dental caries experience was 41.8%. A moderate correlation was found between the SOC of mothers and adolescents (r = 0.563; P < 0.001). A higher mother's SOC (PR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.36–0.53) and adolescent's SOC (PR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.39–0.55) were protective factors against dental caries experience in the adolescents. The prevalence of dental caries experience was higher among adolescents with visible plaque (Model 1—PR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.53–2.04; Model 2—PR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.37–1.84) and those whose families were in a lower economic class (Model 1—PR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.35–1.80; Model 2—PR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.36–1.81). Conclusion: Dental caries in adolescents was associated with social determinants evaluated through the sense of coherence. |
