“…Based on research, people in developing countries still lack attention and awareness of dental and oral health. 19 The results shown in Table 3 demonstrate that the number of F components (Filling) or teeth that had been filled, as many as 15 teeth, was smaller than the number of M components (Missing) or teeth that had been extracted, which was 57 teeth from the total number of subjects. This can explain that the subject more often decided to extract teeth rather than obtaining treatment, due to the subject's strict schedule that prevents multi visit dental treatments.…”

“…The results of this research illustrate that the spread of caries (DMF-T index) is lower than the results of the research on the Serbian army (10.5), Iranian army (9.67), and Jordanian army (8.69). 15,[19][20] This can be explained due to the fact that Serbia, Iran, and Croatia are developing countries. Wartini et al, 21 stated that Indonesia is a developing country.…”

“…23 Higher average value of the DMF-T index in male members also occurred in a study conducted on the Serbian army. 19 The members of the Strata Bintara at Pangkalan Indonesian National Military-Naval Force Bandung are divided into several ranks consisting of Peltu, Pelda, Serma, Serka, Sertu, and Serda. The division of ranks among members of the Strata Bintara reflects the level of welfare and socioeconomic status.…”

Introduction: Military personnel belong to a high-risk group for the development of various pathological conditions in the oral cavity. Based on research, the experience of dental caries in the army population of several other countries was relatively high. The purpose of this study was to describe the assessment of the dental health status of Bintara Officer (the NCO) the Indonesian National Military-Naval Force (TNI-AL) using caries experience index. Methods: The descriptive method was used with primary data collection through the caries experience index (DMF-T) examination and assessment of the dental health status of the TNI-AL. A purposive sampling technique with a total of 40 members with inclusion criteria, ranked Bintara Officer, 10 years of service, male or female, was used. Exclusion criteria were those serving outside the city or abroad and not signing an informed consent form. The data was collected and analyzed descriptively using Microsoft Excel. Results: DMF-T index value was 3.7, included in the Stakes I category, which had a maximum number of DMF of 10 teeth: 25.0% in the very low category, 17.5% in the low category, 27.5% in the moderate category, 17.5% in the high category, and 12.5% in the very high category. The dental health status of the TNI-AL were 95.0% in the Stakes I category, 2.5% in the Stakes II category, 2.5% in the Stakes III category, and there were no subjects in the Stakes IV category. Conclusion: Assessment of the dental health status of bintara officer Indonesian National Military-Naval Force using DMFT index value was in the moderate category, and based on Perkasal the majority was included in the Stakes I category.KEYWORDS : Caries, DMF-T index, dentistry, TNI-AL dental health status

Introduction/Aim: Oral health impact on the quality of life presents the increasing need in testing the individual's oral health and one of the entire population. The goal of the paper was to translate the index of "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" of the World Health Organization into the Serbian language and to check its reliability. Methods:This study has been designed as an observational, epidemiological study. Index of the "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" has been translated into the Serbian language. The classical theory of tests was used in data analysis. The characteristics assessed included internal consistency and construct validity. Results:A total of 1741 participants were included in this analysis. The mean age of the study group was 32.4 ± 9.7 years. In the last 12 months, problems which occurred frequently or very often regarding teeth and mouth were the following: difficult biting of food (6.2%), difficulty chewing (5.1%), difficult speech or difficult pronunciation of certain words (1.9%), dryness of the mouth (2.9%), the feeling of discomfort due to esthetic appearance of teeth (6.8%). The reliability of the "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" (items considering Oral health self-assessment) had high internal consistency (the Cronbach's  coefficient was 0.879). The Principal component analysis and Promax rotation revealed 1 factor with Eigenvalue exceeding 1, accounting for 54.3% of the total variance. Conclusion: A Serbian version of the "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults", provides very useful and reliable information on the condition of oral health of the Serbian Armed Forces. Apstrakt Uvod/Cilj: Procena uticaja stanja oralnog zdravlja na kvalitet života, predstavlja sve veću potrebu u ispitivanju oralnog stanja pojedinaca, ali i cele populacije. Cilj rada bio je da se indeks "Upitnik za oralno zdravlje odraslih" Svetske Zdravstvene Organizacije prevede na srpski jezik uz proveru njegove pouzdanosti. Metode: U radu je primenjena opservaciona, epidemiološka studija. Indeks "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" preveden je na srpski jezik. Pri analizi podataka korišćena je 4 klasična teorija testova. Procenjene karakteristike uključuju unutrašnju konzistentnost i valjanost konstrukcije.Rezultati: U ovu analizu je uključeno ukupno 1741 ispitanika. Prosečna starost ispitivane grupe iznosila je 32,4 ± 9,7 god. U poslednjih 12 meseci od problema koji su se javljali često ili veoma često u vezi zuba i usta bili su: otežano odrgrizanje hrane (6,2%), otežano žvakanje (5,1%), otežan govor ili otežano izgovaranje pojedinih reči (1,9%), suvoća usta (2,9%), osećaj neprijatnosti usled estetskog izgleda zuba (6,8%). Pouzdanost "Upitnika za oralno zdravlje za odrasle" (stavke koje uzimaju u obzir samoocenjivanje oralnog zdravlja) imala je visoku unutrašnju konzistentnost (Cronbahov koeficijent je 0,879). Analiza glavnih komponenti i rotacija Promaks otkrili su 1 faktor sa Eigenvalueom većim od 1, što čini 54,3% ukupne varijanse.Zaključak: Srpska verzija upitnika "Upitnik za oralno zdravlje ...

Background/Aim. The quality of life regarding oral health is a multidimensional concept that shows to which extent oral diseases and disorders impact the quality of life of each individual. One of the most frequently used questionnaires for testing the impact of oral health on the quality of life is the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). The aim of this study was to test the short form of the OHIP-14 questionnaire among professional members of the Serbian Armed Forces. Methods. A cross-sectional design was applied in this study. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined by Cronbach's coefficient alpha. The validity of the OHIP-14 questionnaire was assessed by the factor analysis. Results. A total of 1,611 participants, professional members of the Serbian Armed Forces, with a mean age of 33.5, agreed to participate in the study (the participation rate was 97.4%). The majority of the participants were males (88.8%). The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the OHIP-14 scale was 0.960. The alpha reliability coefficients of all OHIP-14 subscales were between 0.732 and 0.865, indicating that the internal consistency reliability of all subscales was good. The Principal components analysis, same as inspection of the scree plot and parallel analysis supported a one-factor solution for the OHIP-14 scale. Conclusion. The OHIP-14 manual is equally reliable for deter-mining the impact of oral health on the quality of life of professional members of the Serbian Armed Forces as it is with the civilian population.
