چکیده مقاله
The link between socioeconomic status and health, including oral health, is well established The conventional measures of socioeconomic status used in these studies, such as social class and household income, have a number of weaknesses so that alternatives, in the form of area based measures of depriva tion, are increasingly being used This paper reviews epidemiological research linking deprivation and oral health Four types of study are identified and de scribed: simple descriptive, comparative, analytic and explanatory These studies confirm that deprivation indices are sensitive to variations in oral health and oral health behaviours and can be used to identify small areas with high levels of need for dental treatment and oral health promotion services As such, they are likely to provide a useful administrative tool In terms of research, the studies demonstrate that these measures provide a ready way of controlling for socio economic status in studies examining the association between oral health and other variables However, this research, in largely replicating previous studies using social class, does not address fundamental issues concerning the mecha nisms which link social inequality and health Deprivation measures have a major role to play in research that examines features of people and places, and how they promote and/or damage both oral and general health
