“…In the present study, students were divided into four groups, ages 19 to 25, 19 to 21, 21 to 23, and 23 to 25. Age and DMFT score had a strong statistically significant association (p 0.05).The findings of this study were consistent with another study had done on undergraduate dentistry students in Lahore with regard to age and gender.18 Other research using the same study design confirmed that female students had a greater caries frequency than male pupils 17,18 . The association between DMFT score and area was not significant in the current study (p=0.24), however the author of another study published in 2021 claimed that caries was complicated in urban areas, which was the contrary of the findings of the present study [18][19][20] .…”

Aim: To determine the frequency of dental caries in undergraduate dental students. Study design: Cross-sectional study Place and duration of study: Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad from 1st March 2022 to 31stAugust 2022. Methodology:One hundred and forty students of dental with ages 17-25 years were enrolled. Detailed demographics were recorded after informed written consent. More than 25 years age students and reluctant students were excluded.Procedure recommended by WHO was followed to document the oral health status for dental caries. Results: There were 63(45%) males and 77(55%) females. Maximum of the students 37(26.4%) and 36(25.7%) belong to the age group 19-21 and 21-23 respectively. Seventy nine (56.3%) were the residents of urban area while 23(16.42%), 39(27.85%), 32(22.85%) and 46(32.85%) students were taken from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year respectively. Out of all the pupils, 103(73.57%) had dental caries with a DMFT score (>0), whereas 37(26.43%) were healthy. Conclusion: Compared to men, women are more likely to progress dental caries. The average total DMFT score differential did not affect either party much. DMFT score and age cluster associations were very statistically significant. The average DMFT score for females across the different academic levels did not differ significantly. While other DMFT score elements were non-significant, the decaying factor of the average DMFT score dramatically reduced. Keywords: Dental Caries, DMFT Index, World Health Organization (WHO)

“…We can conclude that Romani children do to use sufficiently the available dental care, but more often they seek urgent dental care in acute cases, when less invasive therapeutic procedures cannot be applied. Modern stomatology tends to use caries prevention and non-invasive therapeutic methods which can only be performed with a correctly timed early diagnostics of caries and regular dentist visits (Pavleova et al, 2015).…”

“…reflect the oral health condition of the whole population and what could be achieved by systemic care and prevention of dental caries in whole population. 10 The annual report of the Iraqi Ministry of Health in 2017 reported dental caries among the top 10causes of outpatient visits in Iraq, with a percentage of 2.1% of total visitors. 18 Most published studies about the prevalence of dental caries in Iraq were targeting school age children, [19][20][21] and this is similar to other developing countries, 22 and only few researches involved adult population, 19,[23][24][25][26][27] and only few studies investigated dental students.…”

“…A major part of population in these countries has bad and neglected oral health caused by many different risk factors related to socio-economic and educational levels and difficult or no access to professional dental care. 10 While a small part of population, with higher socioeconomic state and good home care and better access for professional services since childhood, shows low caries index. 11 The main problem in dental caries is that its initial stages are asymptomatic; with symptoms appearing after the carious lesion has progressed into dentine.…”

Objectives: This study was done to determine the prevalence of dental caries and treatment conducted among undergraduate students (18-24 year) in Holy Kerbala governorate/Iraq. Additionally, the selected sample was from two Dentistry Colleges (public and private) students who will be responsible for managing public oral health services in the country. Methods: A total number of 288 Dentistry Colleges (Holy Kerbala public Dentistry College and Ibin Hayan Private Dentistry College) students were asked through self-administered questionnaire about dental caries, filling and extracted tooth. Dental caries index was calculated by application of DMFT/DMFS index, following the criteria of the World Health Organization. Analysis depended on SPSS-23 and Amos statistical packages at a significance level of .05. Results: The mean age of the students was 21.42Â±136 year. Females formed about two thirds of the sample (61.1%). The prevalence of dental caries was 72.9% with a mean DMFT, DMFS values 3.30 Â±SE 0.091, 4.94 Â±SE 0.161, respectively. The prevalence of dental caries reported by CDC in the USA in 2011/2012 among adolescents aged 16â€“19 (67%). The mean caries, filling and extracted tooth values were 0.597Â±.96 for extracted tooth, 1.180Â±.1.4043 for carried tooth and 1.735Â±.1.9942 filled tooth, while the mean DMF was 3.15 Â±.2.85. The proportion of students with caries, filling and extracted tooth were 46.5%, 54.07% and 31.6%, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found for DMF and for each component prevalence rate between the public and private Dentistry College students, or among different genders. Conclusion: A relatively high caries â€“ experience was present among undergraduate students in the Dentistry Colleges (public and private) in Holy Kerbala governorate indicating the need for efficient preventive programs early in school age and through university students.
