A model for oral health gradients in children: using structural equation modeling.

CONCLUSIONS: Using the modified Petersen's model and SEM, the paths in which different distal and proximal factors affect oral health outcomes in children could be clearly identified. It showed that addressing the underlying social, economic and behavioral determinants is essential for reducing oral health disparities among Iranian children. PMID: 28561559 [PubMed - in process]
