Human Development Indicators and oral health indicators in Primary Care in the municipalities of Metropolitan Region of Curitiba-PR. RFO UPF [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp. 185-192. ISSN 1413-4012.

Objective: The aim of this study is to monitor the oral health actions of the cities which compose the Central Urban Core (CUC) of the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba - PR, using information systems and verifying the correlation between Primary Oral Health Care and Human Development Indicators. Materials and method: This is a descriptive correlational study with evaluation of secondary data. The human development indicators used for this study were the Municipal Human Development Index (IDHM) and the IPARDES Index of Municipal Performance (IPDM), collected in the database provided by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Parana Institute of Economic and Social Development (IPARDES), referring to the year 2010. The oral health indicators were accessed and analyzed by the production of the Outpatient Information System (SIA-SUS) and are related to the year of 2012. There were used four indicators: a) first programmatic dental visit; b) collective actions of supervised toothbrushing; c) individual basic dental procedures; and d) extractions of deciduous and permanent teeth. In quantitative statistical analysis, we used the Pearson correlation test, with a significance level of 95%. Results: The data comparison explained that the higher is human development, the higher is the first programmatic dental visit index (r=0.5645). Correlation was also found between the first programmatic dental visit and the extractions index (r=0.6439). Conclusion: Thereby, information systems are important tools in local planning of oral health actions.
