“…Similarly, in another investigation in Jazan region, children with untreated caries were more likely to be from the low BMI category [15]. Similar results have been reported in Indonesia [16]. There are also studies where no correlation between DMFT and BMI was established [17,18].…”

Objective: To determine caries prevalence and its association with body mass index in school children between 9-12 years of age in Hail, Saudi Arabia. Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 524 school children 9-12 years of age. These children were selected from 9 Public schools in Hail Province. Dental caries was recorded as per criteria established by the World Health Organization using assessment form for children 2013. Children were weighed using an electronic scale nearest to 0.1 kg with children attired in light clothing and wearing no shoes. The height was measured using a stadiometer to the nearest full centimeter with the children in a standing position. Body Mass Index (BMI) was determined using the formula BMI = kg/m 2 . Results: Caries prevalence in the population was 86%. The comparisons of mean DMFT between the groups demonstrate higher scores in the overweight group (mean=2.43) compared to normal weight (mean=1.85) and underweight children (mean=1.56) which is statistically significant (p=0.000). Bonferroni Post hoc test to compare the underweight and overweight group (p=0.000) and overweight and normal weight (p=0.000) were highly significant. Conclusion: A positive correlation of caries severity, namely DMFT, with BMI is established.

“…Health Organization report; there are an increasing epidemic of obesity and caries in worldwide (Branca, Nikogosian, Lobsein, 2007;Weinberg,Westphal, & Segelnick, 2015). The hallmark of a synergistic epidemic is the presence of two or more disease states that adversely interact with each other, negatively affecting the mutual course of each disease Additionally, sugar foods sectors have quickly and fundamentally changed dietary patterns by increasing access to high calorie foods and processed carbohydrates, radically increasing the proportion of individuals with type 2 diabetes and oral health problems (Wening, Bramantoro, Palupi, Ramadhani, & Alvita, 2019).…”

Nursing students are role model related to health franchise play an important in oral health care and promotion. This study aim is assessment the caries and oral and dental health behaviors of nurse students who be able expected take upon the responsibility of oral health in future. This was descriptive observational study with cross‑sectional approach, conducted at a state university in Mediterranean, Turkey. The study population was formed from 34 nursing students who voluntary select to course of oral and dental health nursing. Firstly, data were collected by socio-demographic form and then all students had been examined by dentist researcher. It was determined that 76.5% of the nursing students included in the study had at least one tooth decay, 70.6% needed treatment, and 67.6% had debris. It was determined that there was a relationship between gender, floss use, mouthwash, regular brushing teeth twice a day before the age of 6, smoking, and D, F, M, DMFS, DMFT indices in those who were breastfed for >=6 months. Increasing the awareness level of students will have a positive impact on the health of the patients they will care for.

Background We aimed to assess oral health and oral hygiene status among visually impaired adolescents and also to evaluate the factors related to their oral health. Methods This was a cross-sectional study among 130 visually impaired adolescents in Tehran, Iran, in December 2018. Of three schools for visually impaired children in Tehran, children in the sixth to the tenth grade (aged 12–17 years) were included after obtaining their parents’ consent. WHO oral health questionnaire for children was filled out through face to face interviews. General characteristics were age, gender, status of visual impairment, place of residence, and parental education level. Oral health-related questions were perceived dental and gingival health, dental self-care, dental visits, medical conditions, and dietary habits. Oral examinations included Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI‑S), and Bleeding on Probing (BOP). Univariate and multiple logistic regression tests were applied using STATA. Results The mean age (SD) of the adolescents was 14.45 (1.61) years. The fully blind children were 33.8%, and those with low vision were 66.2%. Regarding the perception of dental and gingival health, nearly half of the adolescents were satisfied. The mean DMFT and decayed component (DT) were 2.43 ± 2.24 and 1.92 ± 2.12, respectively. The frequency of DMFT ≥ 3 was 45.4%. The mean OHI-S was 2.01 ± 0.70, and OHI-S > 1.8 was reported in 60% of children. The prevalence of BOP was 79.2%. DMFT was significantly associated with toothache (P = 0.003, OR = 3.70, 95% CI: 1.54–9.09), perceived dental health (P = 0.005, OR = 3.06, 95% CI: 1.40–6.67), and medical conditions (P = 0.03, OR = 3.13, 95% CI: 1.13–8.68). In addition, OHI-S was related to gender (P = 0.02, OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15–0.83), perceived dental health (P = 0.006, OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.35–6.12) and medical conditions (P = 0.04, OR = 3.05, 95% CI: 1.04–8.97). BOP was associated with perceived gingival health (P = 0.02, OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.18–7.33). Conclusions Medical conditions and perceived dental and gingival health are possible predictors for oral health status in these adolescents. Although these children could not visualize caries or gingival bleeding during the brushing time, they could perceive the status of their oral health correctly. Also, being involved in medical problems can make more ignorance of oral health.
