OBJECTIVES Despite marked improvements over the past century, oral health in America is a significant problem: caries is the most common chronic disease of childhood. [] Key Method It is based on a comprehensive review of major population and oral health literatures. RESULTS A multilevel conceptual model is described, with the individual, family, and community levels of influence on oral health outcomes. This model incorporates the 5 key domains of determinants of health as identified in the population…

Children's oral health in Australia: The past decade's research agenda
TLDR
M Monitoring child level influences of oral health has consistently occurred in national surveys and epidemiological studies, and family level influences are comparatively underinvestigated and should be a focus of future research in Australia.
Influence of family environment on children's oral health: a systematic review.
Child and adolescent perceptions of oral health over the life course
TLDR
Focus groups with ethnically, socioeconomically, and geographically diverse youth identified three unique themes that the youth associated with their oral health status that provided valuable information about core domains for the oral health item banks to be developed and generated content for new items to be develop and evaluated with cognitive interviews and in a field test.
Title Patient-Reported oral health outcome measurement for children and adolescents
TLDR
The qualitative methods used in the initial phases of the project (focus group and cognitive interviews) are the initial steps in the development of oral health item banks and associated short-form surveys for children and adolescents.
The Impact of Maternal Self-Efficacy and Oral Health Beliefs on Early Childhood Caries in Latino Children
TLDR
There was a significant association between maternal oral health knowledge and higher perceived benefits and increased self-efficacy, and the same was found for higher knowledge of dental utilization which was also associated with children perceived as having increased susceptibility to early childhood caries.
Assessing a multilevel model of young children's oral health with national survey data.
TLDR
The results suggest that efforts to understand or improve children's oral health should consider a multilevel approach that goes beyond solely child-level factors.
A model for oral health gradients in children: using structural equation modeling.
TLDR
Using the modified Petersen's model and SEM, it showed that addressing the underlying social, economic and behavioral determinants is essential for reducing oral health disparities among Iranian children.
Patient-Reported oral health outcome measurement for children and adolescents
TLDR
The qualitative methods used in the initial phases of the project (focus group and cognitive interviews) are the initial steps in the development of oral health item banks and associated short-form surveys for children and adolescents.
children's oral health care access and oral health status
TLDR
Using the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health, state variation in parents' report of children's oral health care access (absence of a preventive dental visit) and oral health status is examined and the degree to which child, family and community factors explained state variation is calculated.
Title Factors related to children ' s caries : a structural equationmodeling approach
TLDR
The results showed that socioeconomic factors influenced children’s oral health practices through the impact of caregivers’ oral health knowledge and practices, and that children”s Oral health practices were linked directly to their caries.

Perceived Oral Health in a Diverse Sample
TLDR
Perceived oral health may be a useful outcome measure in dentistry because of its relation to predisposing sociodemographics and dental utilization.
Social and psychological theories and their use for dental practice.
TLDR
Four major theoretical constructs that have helped broaden the understanding of oral hygiene behaviours and dental health risks, including: social class, life stress, self-efficacy and locus of control are discussed.
The potential impact of neighborhood empowerment on dental caries among adolescents.
TLDR
Neighborhood empowerment may play an important role in explaining inequalities in the levels of dental caries in adolescents and new perspectives are needed so that more effective interventions can be implemented using area-based perspectives.
Children at Risk for Special Health Care Needs
TLDR
The conceptual model presented here represents a starting point for thinking about the risk factors that influence the occurrence and severity of a special health care need, and incorporates many of the important breakthroughs by social epidemiologists over the past 25 years.
The state of the nation's oral health: mid-decade assessment of Healthy People 2000.
TLDR
The persistent and often dramatic race-ethnicity and socioeconomic differences on many objectives, in combination with possible alterations in the public health infrastructure, indicate that concentrated and collaborative efforts are needed to achieve Healthy People 2000 targets.

TLDR
This paper aims to review and highlight the potential value to oral health promotion of three important public health theoretical approaches: life course analysis, salutogenic model and social capital.
Reducing Oral Health Disparities: A Focus on Social and Cultural Determinants
TLDR
This paper presents and discusses how the multiple influences on oral health and oral health disparities operate using this framework and how interventions targeted at different causal pathways bring new directions and implications for research and policy in reducing Oral health disparities.
The social determinants of oral health: new approaches to conceptualizing and researching complex causal networks.
TLDR
Methodological implications for oral epidemiological research informed by the framework, such as the use of multilevel modelling, path analysis and structural equation modelling, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, and collaborative research, are discussed.
Cultural factors and children's oral health care: a qualitative study of carers of young children.
TLDR
There are both similarities and differences between racial/ethnic groups in how cultural beliefs and experiences influence young children's access to dental care and how it might be improved.
Multidimensional causal model of dental caries development in low-income preschool children.
TLDR
Results confirmed earlier work that suggested that caries development at a 1-year followup was strongly dependent on earlier Caries development, and support the advantages of employing multidimensional models and provide some direction for intervention to reduce caries incidence.
