“…After sorting the titles and abstracts, 12 articles were selected for a complete reading of the texts. From these, six meet the inclusion criteria [6][7][8][17][18][19] .

“…Suman et al (2008) investigated the effect of the war on oral health among professional soldiers and found the number of decayed, filled and missing teeth was significantly higher (DMFT 14.4) among those who had been in combat than among those who had not (DMFT 13.1) [14]. Muhvic-Urek et al (2007) studied dental status of war veterans of the Croatian army suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and found that they had higher DMFT values than the control group, although the difference was not statistically significant [23]. Vered and Sgan-Cohen (2003) carried out a questionnaire survey on 4920, 21-year-old young Israeli people on compulsory military service, asking them how they assessed the status of their own teeth.…”
