“…The mean score of decayed teeth (1.57 ± 0.53) was widespread among 31-40 years age group which was similar with other study conducted by Duraiswamy et al [18] among green marble mine workers in 2008. This might be due to high consumption of refined carbohydrates and due to sedentary lifestyle which was common among 31-40 years age group.…”

Increase in caries prevalence with increasing age has also been reported by Duraiswamy et al 7 , Petersen PE 18 and Bernabe E et al 19 The main clause behind this increasing trend in caries with age could be that dental caries is a time intensive and progressive phenomena and the lesion undoubtedly increases over a span of time.…”

“…Contrasting results have also been reported in research work by Ahlberg J et al 6 , Duraiswamy et al 7 and Sharma A et al 8 The difference in variable prevalence may be due to age group and sex taken for the studies, uniformity of selection of the sample, area of study and the type of examination and methodology used for the study. The overall mean DMFT found in our study (0.95) was not in concordance with those reported by Ramya B et al 3 , Bachanek et al 9 and Dagli RJ et al 10 This could be due to the fact that our study was conducted in Himachal where the groundwater concentration of fluoride has been reported to be high with a maximum of 1.6 mg/L reported by Thakur N et al11 when compared to the WHO permissible limit of 1.0 mg/l.…”

Dental caries experience was assessed using WHO dentition status proforma (2013). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 21.0. Results: Out of 1024 study subjects, 572 were males and 452 were females. Caries prevalence was found to be 47.46%. Mean decay-missing-filled teeth score of the population was 0.95 ± 0.45 and was found to be higher among females (1.06 ± 0.42) as compared to males (0.93 ± 0.38). Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries in industrial workers is noteworthy. Essential requisites to bring this under control include awareness regarding good dental health, education on prevention of dental caries and implication of necessary measures for the provision of adequate dental care.

A total of 1008 subjects constituted the final sample size.Results:The mean age of the subjects was 45.3 ± 7.8 years, and 97% (978) were males. Prevalence of dental caries was 63.4% and mean DMFT was 5.02. 47.6% of subjects needed some prosthesis in the maxillary arch while 53.3% needed some prosthesis in the mandibular arch. Regarding highest CPI (Community Periodontal Index) score, 8.13% of the subjects had healthy periodontium while maximum subjects (73.2%) had a score 2 (Calculus).Conclusion:Mean DMFT (Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth) was satisfactory. Prosthetic need of the subjects was high with only a few subjects possessing prosthesis. Advanced periodontal disease (CPI score, 4) affected small number of subjects with maximum subjects (73%) having a CPI score of 2.
