The current findings were high when compared to study conducted by Narayana Roa et al, [1] Nobile Carmelo et al, [12] Colman et al [24] . The prevalence of deep pockets was increased with increasing age which is similar to the study done by Vittal Das et al [5] and Manjunath Dayakar et al [4] .…”

In addition, it is an attempt to find the effect of dental caries and periodontal disease on OHRQoL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted to assess dental caries, periodontal health status, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in prisoners of Nellore district.

“…Una amplia revisión de la literatura mostró pocos estudios llevados a cabo en un entorno penitenciario, los cuales presentaron una mayor prevalencia de caries y enfermedades periodontales 6,[13][14][15][16] . Sin embargo, en la India, no se han practicado estudios sobre el impacto de la duración del encarcelamiento sobre el estado dental y nutricional de estas poblaciones, por lo tanto, la información es escasa.…”

Aim: Prison is an especially difficult environment for promoting oral health and leads to the exacerbation of unhealthy behaviors. This study set out to assess the impact of incarceration on nutritional status and oral health among the male prison inmates of Central Jail of Jaipur city, Rajasthan, India. Material and method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 181 male inmates. Dental caries and periodontal status were assessed by using modified the Decayed Missing Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) and Loss of Attachment (LOA) index as per the WHO methodology 1997. Nutritional status was assessed by Body Mass Index (BMI) and weight (kg)/height (m2). Results: Out of 181 inmates, 141 (77.90%) had normal BMI. The majority (n=128, 70.70%) of inmates were incarcerated for less than 6 years. A significant difference (P<0.05) was found between age and periodontal status. A significant difference was observed (P<0.05) in the CPI score 3 and LOA 0 and 1 score. However, no significant difference (P>0.05) was observed in DMFT and period of incarceration. Age was the significant (P<0.001) risk factor for CPI and LOA. Discussion: Dental caries and periodontal health deteriorates with age and period of incarceration. Oral hygiene maintenance along with comprehensive oral care can be accomplished by establishing dental care facilities in prisons.

Purpose Oral health is an integral part of general health. Different population groups have been assessed for oral health status in India, but still, many have been neglected; one such group is the prisoners. The prison population is a unique and challenging one with many health problems, including poor oral health, which may be due to lack of knowledge about good oral health practices. This study aims to assess effectiveness of oral health education on oral health knowledge, attitude and practices and oral hygiene status among the male prison inmates of central jail in Kolkata, India. Design/methodology/approach An interventional study was done among 240 male convicts. The data was elicited using a structured proforma; oral health status was assessed by recording OHI-S index, and the severity of gingivitis was assessed by recording the gingival index. Oral health education was delivered by using audio-visual aid. Oral health knowledge, attitude, practices and oral hygiene and gingival status were reassessed among the inmates before and after dental education at the end of three and six months. Findings A significant change in oral health knowledge, attitude and practices was seen, which in turn resulted in an appreciable decrease in the mean gingival index score (1.73 ± 0.382 to 1.20 ± 0.321) and OHI-S (3.31 ± 0.815 to 2.57 ± 0.551) in all the inmates after oral health education program over the period of time. Originality/value The oral health education with reinforcement proved to be an effective tool to instil good oral hygiene practices in the inmates.
