Other studies report correlations between socioeconomic status and DF, observing a relationship between higher income and being able to afford to buy toothpaste and other topical fluorides 16 , 28 , 29 , 32 . Among the statistically significant factors in the present study (p<0.05), the amount of toothpaste (pea-sized volume) used was associated with severity, though the use of more than a pea-sized volume did not present an association, but since its OR=12.52 was high, it was probably not significant because very few children used it (n=13).
