The NHMRC and the Australian National Oral Health Plan have identified health inequalities as a critical health issue. Dental caries in children increasingly has become concentrated in disadvantaged population groups. While previous studies have documented socioeconomic gradients in oral health, few have sought to explain the reasons underlying those inequalities. By taking advantage of two existing datasets of child oral health in Australia, collected in 1992 and 2002, we will be able to quantify change in socioeconomic inequalities in oral health, and identify population-wide exposures to preventive practices and social circumstances that may have contributed to that change.

国家口腔健康委员会和澳大利亚国家口腔健康计划已确定健康不平等是一个严重的健康问题。儿童龋齿越来越多地集中在处境不利的人群中。虽然以前的研究记录了口腔健康的社会经济梯度，但很少有人试图解释这些不平等背后的原因。通过利用1992年和2002年收集的澳大利亚儿童口腔健康的两个现有数据集，我们将能够量化口腔健康方面社会经济不平等的变化，并确定全民接触预防措施和可能导致这种变化的社会环境。
