Aim: The main purpose of this study was to determine the association between poor self-concept of oral health and the last visit to the dentist in a population of American adults between the years 2015-2016. Materials and methods: This study is observational, analytical, retrospective, cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 4,057 participants (30-80 years old), from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2016. Poor self-perception of oral health was the dependent variable and the last visit to the dentist, the independent one. Sociodemographic and oral health variables were included as covariates. A descriptive analysis was carried out and the Chi-square test and Student's t test were used to compare the dependent variable according to the general characteristics of the participants. Likewise, the association was evaluated by means of Poisson regression as a boundary estimator of variance and prevalence ratios were reported in a crude (bivariate) and adjusted (multivariate) model. Results: 9.9% reflected a poor self-perception of oral health. Likewise, a greater association was found between this variable and individuals who are older, have low income and who visited the dentist for recuperative purposes. In the adjusted model, it was evidenced that those who visit the dentist in a period of two years or more are more likely to have a poor self-perception of oral health (PR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.4). Conclusions: There is an association between poor self-concept of oral health and the last visit to the dentist in the American adult population between the years 2015-2016.
