Dental Health Services Utilization and Associated Factors in Children 6 to 12 Years Old in a Low‐Income Country

Abstract

Various predisposing, enabling, and oral health needs variables were associated with higher dental health services utilization. As in prior reports elsewhere, these results from Nicaragua confirmed that utilization inequalities exist between socioeconomic groups. The multinomial logistic regression model evidenced the association of different variables depending on the type of service used.
