Introduction: In addition to determining factors for the development of dental caries, such as diet and oral hygiene, the context in which individuals live has also been reflected in behavior and oral health conditions. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of contextual and behavioral factors with the experience of dental caries in 12-year-old schoolchildren from southern Brazil. Materials and methods: The research was cross-sectional and quantitative. The participants were students from public schools. Data were collected through a questionnaire and oral examination, using the DMFT index to detect dental caries lesions. The questionnaire evaluated aspects related to oral health, such as oral hygiene habits and diet. Dentists from the municipal primary care service, previously calibrated, carried out the oral examination of students in schools. Results: 712 students participated in the survey, and 656 were examined. Schoolchildren who studied in rural areas had a 2.08 times greater prevalence of DMFT (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.43-3.03), as well as those who did not use a toothbrush, who had 2 .14 times higher prevalence (95% CI: 1.13-4.06) when compared to its counterparts. Also, those who had visible plaque on their teeth had a 46% higher prevalence of DMFT (95% CI: 1.16-1.83) than those who did not. Conclusion: In addition to the determinants factors related to dental caries, contextual factors were associated with the experience of dental caries, stimulating strategies with the potential to minimize inequalities in oral health.
