“…The prevalence of dental caries in this study was 54.14%. This was in line with results obtained from a small number of studies 27 - 29 , while studies conducted by Anup et al, 4 Dhanker K et al, 13 Osborn M et al 15 show a prevalence of caries that is higher. The mean DMFT in this study is very low at 1.93; a similar low mean value was observed by Bolin K et al, 30 Agrawal N. 31 However, higher values of mean DMFT ranging from 9.8 to 22.5 were reported in the systemic review by Walsh T et al 21 The mean DMFT for the prisoners increased with age, as is the norm for any population.…”

“…La prevalencia de caries en este estudio fue de 54,14%. Este hecho concuerda con los resultados obtenidos en unos pocos estudios [27][28][29] , mientras los estudios de Anup et al 4 , Dhanker et al 13 , Osborn et al 15 muestran una prevalencia más elevada de caries. El CPO medio en este estudio es muy bajo (1,93); se observó un valor bajo similar en un estudio de Bolin et al 30 y Agrawal 31 .…”

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.

“…Despite such an organization, the health care system for prisoners is inadequate, and in the field of dentistry, it is implemented in external locations, which influences its availability. Several studies have reported the oral health status of prison populations and have shown a high prevalence of dental caries, oro-mucosal lesions, precancerous lesions, poor periodontal status, and missing teeth [ 4 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. An extensive review of the literature revealed that the few studies carried out in a prison setting showed a higher prevalence of dental caries and periodontal diseases [ 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Background: Modern penitentiary systems attach great importance, at least in the area of formal and codified arrangements, to providing inmates with access to health care and rehabilitation. The aim of our study was to analyze the Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS medical databases in order to search for and evaluate the available literature discussing the oral status and dental treatment needs of adult male prisoners. Methods: The following terms were used: prisoners or inmates; oral health, oral status; periodontal status, periodontal disease; oral hygiene; caries; mucosa; and saliva. The studies were screened based on their title and abstract according to the PICO (population, intervention, control, and outcome) criteria. The research protocol was prepared on the basis of the 2020 PRISMA guidelines and was not registered. The available literature discussing the oral status and dental treatment needs of adult imprisoned patients was analyzed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: articles published in English between 1 January 2012 and 2022; articles discussing the oral cavity status of adult inmates over 18 years old (hard tissues, periodontal status, saliva, mucosa condition, or oral hygiene); articles with a full text available; and articles that were assessed as satisfactory according to the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Results: A total of 934 articles were identified, out of which 9 were included in the systematic review. Two articles discussed the oral condition of prisoners in Europe (Russia and Finland), four examined prisoners in Asia (three in India and one in Saudi Arabia), two examined prisoners in Africa (Nigeria), and one examined prisoners in the Americas (Brazil). Conclusions: The oral status of prisoners has been widely discussed in the available literature. Among inmates, a higher frequency of both caries and periodontal disease along with poorer oral hygiene were observed. It can be concluded that inmates should have access to specialized treatment from periodontists and endodontists.

INTRODUCTION: Prisoners are unique population with many oral health problems. Prisoners are psychologically, socially, morally and economically affected group, which makes them to neglect their oral health. Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was the most widely used instrument to assess the Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in an individual. Few studies have observed that oral hygiene status of the prisoners is poor and there is a higher prevalence of dental caries and periodontal diseases. AIM & OBJECTIVE: The aim was to evaluate the dental caries status, periodontal status, and the OHRQoL among prisoners of Nellore District. 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. The Oral Health Impact Profile -14 questionnaires was given to the participants followed by Oral health status was assessed using the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form (2013). RESULTS: A total of 115 prisoners were included in the study. The prevalence of dental caries was 53.1% with mean DMFT of 2.6±3.5. Pockets measuring 4-5mm was observed among 10.4% and >6 mm was observed among 21.7% of prisoners. LOA was seen among 27.8% of prisoners. A significant correlation was found between OHIP-14 with Dental caries and periodontal diseases. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that periodontal health and dentition status was poor among prisoners due to lack of accessibility to dental care and dental health education. Keywords: Oral health, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), prison inmates, dental caries, periodontal disease, loss of attachment.
