Dental Contact Lenses: An Ecological Study of Online Searches in Brazil.

Summary: Have you ever wondered who is searching for "dental contact lenses" (thin veneers for teeth) online? Researchers looked at 5 years of Google searches in Brazil to find out. They discovered that people in wealthier states with more internet access, higher education, and more dentists searched for them the most. On the other hand, states with higher poverty and illiteracy searched the least. The study shows that interest in this cosmetic dental treatment is strongly tied to a person's wealth and their access to dental care.
