A random sample of panoramic radiographs was taken of 1027 (386 male and 641 female) university students. All the students were born between 1965 and 1971. The following were examined: caries, apical radiolucencies, endodontically treated teeth, marginal and vertical bone loss, third molars, supernumerary, missing, and persisting teeth, bone structure, condyles, maxillary sinuses and soft tissue calcifications. In the inter- (of two examiners) and intra-examiner variation Kappa indices varied between 0.15 and 1.00, and agreement percentages from 52, to 100. Kappa index was poor (0.15) in evaluation of the bone structure. The mean DMFT index for the students was 8.4. A sound dentition was found in 6.6%, and 48.4% of the students were free of caries. The mean number of carious lesions was 1.1. There were 50 retained roots (49 from primary teeth). 76.6% of the students had one or more unerupted wisdom teeth and 22.7% had radiologic changes typical of pericoronitis in the region of the mandibular third molars. 16.2% of the students had at least one missing wisdom tooth. Bone structure was normal in 92.4% of the students, idiopathic osteosclerosis being the most common divergence (3.5%). Arthrotic changes in the condyles were found in 9% of the students. In eight cases there was erosion of the condyles, which was diagnosed as arthritis. Styloid ligament calcifications were found in 21.5% of the students. In the maxillary sinuses, male students exhibited changes 1.7 times more often than female students (26.3% in males and 15.1% in females).

“…Results of this study have shown that mean of gingivitis values decrease with advancing class level, this is due to the fact that dental school students possess a higher standard of awareness about their dental health and reflect the wide availability of dental services among them (10,11) . It is also due to the motivation regarding the importance of prevention oral diseases among finish dental students; this is in agreement with many authors (12,13,14) .…”

Gingival health status survey was conducted concerning 19-23 years old studentsin Al- Mustansiria University / college of dentistry.The total sample composed of 150 students (75 males and 75 females).The clinical examination was conducted by using blunt mouth probe, followingthe (GI) described by Silness and Loe (1963).Results of this study have shown that mean of gingivitis decreases with advancingclass level with a high significant difference between all classes due to higherawareness regarding prevention of dental diseases among finished dental students.Results also show that gingivitis among males is higher than that among females forall classes because of having better oral hygiene practices than males.

A pilot survey of oral health included 83 adolescent and adult Aborigines (41 M, 42 F, range 16--70 years, mean age 37.3 years), resident in fringe settlements around the far western New South Wales towns of Brewarrina and Walgett (fluoride in water less than or equal to 0.02--0.26 parts/10(6)). Dental caries prevalence (mean DIMFT per person) increased from 17.1 at 20 years to 10.7 at 35 years and declined to 14.6 by the age of 50 years and over. Oral hygiene (OHI) was poor overall and deteriorated with age. Periodontal status (PI) was significantly correlated with the presence of debris (DI) and calculus (CI). The mean PI increased from 1.7 at 20 years to 4.8 at 43 years and over. Tooth mortality reached 75% by the age of 43 years. Prosthetic needs were correspondingly high, but 95% of denture requirements were unmet. No evidence of effective or sustained oral health care was seen; 38% of subjects needed emergency treatment.
