Evaluation of the Sequelae of Untreated Dental Caries Using PUFA Index

Abstract: Aim: To evaluate (PUFA/pufa) index in assessing the prevalence and severity of oral conditions related to untreated caries in a group of primary school pupils in Mosul City. Materials and Methods: Dental examination was conducted on 756 school pupils aged 7-12 years old, divided into 3 groups according to age; 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12 years old.

“…We found higher scores than Oziebge et al, 13 because our study consisted of data from the children with mid-and-low socioeconomic status. Jarzawi 18 presented an overall PUFA/pufa prevalence of 37.8% for 7- to 8-year-old children in 2014. We presume that their higher prevalence ratio might be associated with the different age categories of the study populations.…”

“…Este estudio buscó describir cuantitativamente el problema en personas de 12 años de edad, utilizando los parámetros descritos por Monse et al, para registrar la presencia de las consecuencias de caries dental no tratada, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] que se detalla a continuación. Criterios y códigos del índice PUFA / pufa: P / p: Pulpitis: Significa afección de la pulpa y se registra cuando el proceso de la caries dental, está avanzado que la apertura de la cámara de la pulpa es visible, o cuando la estructura coronal del diente ha sido destruida por el proceso de caries y sólo quedan las raíces.…”
