	abstract = {<p>OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between sociodemographic factors and self-reported use of mouthwashes in a city in the south of Brazil over a time span of 13 years. METHODS: The study involves a comparison of two household surveys conducted in 1996 and 2009. Respectively, 850 and 982 households were included in each year. The mother of the family answered to a structured questionnaire to provide sociodemographic data. Self-reported use of mouthwash was evaluated in a binary manner (yes/no). Multivariate Poisson regression models were used to estimate proportion ratios (PR) and 95\% confidence intervals (95\% CI). RESULTS: The proportion of mouthwash use increased significantly from 10.8\% to 24.2\% after 13 years. The probability of using mouthwashes increased more than two times from 1996 to 2009 (PR = 2.25 95\% CI 1.80-2.82). Higher probabilities for using mouthwashes were observed in households with higher income (PR = 2.63 95\% CI 1.97-3.51) and in those households where the mothers had higher educational levels (PR = 1.46 95\% CI 1.05-2.03). CONCLUSION: Higher family income and higher maternal educational level were associated with self-reported use of mouthwashes in a higher proportion of households.</p>
