“…In our study, the students' DMFT was 1.47 which was less than in Iran, as a whole (1.84) as well as in Khorasan Razavi province (1.71), based on the latest national oral and dental health survey (10). This was also less than some similar studies in Iran (25,26), Saudi Arabia (27), Eritrea (23), Korea (28), and Libya (29); while more than that of some studies in India, China and Sudan (7,22,30). This discrepancies in various studies conducted in different geographical areas with different climate situations indicate that oral and dental health, rather than being affected by climate condition, are more affected by factors such as cultural, racial, access to dental services, nutritional habits, lifestyle, and the students' status of education for dental health and providing preventive dental health services to them (23,31,32).…”

BackgroundOral health in students, as an important health-related subject, would be effective on their growth, self-confidence, socialization, learning ability, daily activities, and quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the DMFT index of 12-year-old students in Gonabad and Bajistan and its relation with their personal and family factors.MethodsAn analytic-cross sectional study conducted among 1280 the students residing in the two desert districts of Iran in 2016. The required data including the subjects’ demographic and family factors as well as their oral health situation extracted from The National School Oral Health Program. The data entered in SPSS (20) and analyzed via Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and logistic regression model.ResultsMean (SD) of the students’ DMFT was 1.47 (1.82). This index was calculated 0.98 (1.47) for boy students and 1.91 (1.98) for girl students (P<0.001). There were significant association between mean of the students’ DMFT and their residency location (P=0.015), birth rank (P=0.032), and level of education of their mothers (P=0.035).ConclusionAccording to the findings, attention to oral health in students, especially in girls, seems necessary. Increasing the knowledge and sensitivity of parents (especially mothers) concerning oral health of their children, especially their girls, the use of intermediate forces such healthcare providers in school and oral health technicians in health centers, and the implementation of preventive interventions such as fissure sealant, fluoride varnish Therapy, and use of sodium fluoride mouthwash by students would be effective for improving the oral health of students.

“…According to the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey, there is still a high level of dental caries in Korean children. The Significant Caries Index (SiC index) among 8-year-old children was 2.73 in 2000 and 1.97 in 2012, and among 12-year-old children; the SiC was 6.13 in 2000 and 4.51 in 2012 (Kim et al 2016). Becker et al (1972) reported that attitudes, motivation, and beliefs about maternal care affect children's oral care behavior.…”

Aim The aim of this study was to examine the oral health-related behaviors in mothers and their children and the prevalence of dental caries in both. Subject and methods A sample of 2536 children and their mothers was selected from the Fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Variables were analyzed using multiple regression to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries among children and mothers, demographic socioeconomic status, and oral health-related behaviors.Results The average age of the mothers was 40.28 years and that of the children was 10.88 years. Mean DT scores were 0.67 for mothers and 0.29 for children. Mean DMFT scores were 6.63 for mothers and 1.76 for children. The higher the mother's number of decayed, missing, or filled permanent teeth (DMFT score, B = 0.076, P < 0.001) and number of decayed teeth (DT score, B = 0.032, P = 0.038) in their permanent dentition, the higher the children's DMFT score was for their permanent dentition. Children from mothers with low household income levels (B = 0.159, P = 0.043), with dental pain (B = 0.132, P = 0.032), and not using a dental mouth rinse (B = 0.135, P = 0.007) presented with higher DT scores. Children from mothers with low self-perceived oral health status (B = 0.113, P < 0.001), lower usage of dental floss (B = 0.100, P = 0.012), a lower ratio of protein intake to total energy (B = −0.017, P = 0.014), and lower ratio of fat intake (B = −0.009, P = 0.047) showed lower self-perceived oral health status. Conclusion The better the oral health status of the mother, the better the oral health status of the child was. An effective oral health and education program for mothers should be developed to promote an improved oral health status of their children.
