“…Caries experience (DMFT) was calculated in six types of disadvantaged individuals, of which the elderly were those with the highest DMFT 18.7 SD 2.4 ([95% CI 13.5–24]; 1160 participants, 17 studies) [ 25 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 34 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 48 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ], followed by homeless subjects with DMFT 17.3 SD 0.4 ([95% CI 12.6–22.1]; 100 participants, two studies) [ 67 , 68 ], immigrants with 14.9 SD 0.9 ([95% CI 9.6–18.7]; 843 participants, two studies) [ 51 , 52 ], alcohol and drug abusers with 12.9 SD 0.8 ([95% CI 11.2–14.6]; 1891 participants, nine studies) [ 49 , 50 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ], low-income people with9.9 SD 0.5 ([95% CI 3–16.7];3043 participants, two studies) [ 60 , 76 ], low-education people with 9.8 SD0.03 ([95% CI 9.4–10.2]; 3043 participants, two studies) [ 60 , 76 ] and prisoners with 8.9 SD 0.8 ([95% CI 6.3–10.4]; 802 participants, three studies) [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Lower DMFT was found in sex workers with 2.3 (249 participants) [ 77 ] and in subjects who work without any specific qualification with 2.9 (510 participants) [ 78 ].…”

“…Moreover, three studies evaluated immigrants with a prevalence score of 40% ([95% CI 25–56%]; 1625 participants, three studies, I 2 = 91.4) [ 39 , 52 , 99 ] and two studies involved subjects having a low level of education with a score of 56% ([95% CI 54–59%]; 1496 participants, two studies, I 2 = not assessable) [ 95 , 100 ]. In the remaining groups with vulnerabilities, the prevalence data were described through single studies evaluating unskilled workers (51.3% [n. = 261/510]) [ 78 ], drug abusers (43% [n. = 46/106]) [ 101 ] and low-income subjects (31.0% [n. = 690/2149]) [ 102 ].…”

Dental caries and periodontal disease represent a health problem and a social cost for the entire population, and in particular for socio-economically disadvantaged individuals who are less resistant to disease. The aim of this review is to estimate the prevalence and severity of the two dental pathologies, caries and periodontal disease, in the different classes of socio-economically disadvantaged subjects and to understand which of them are most affected. A systematic search of the literature was performed in MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE and Web of Science after establishing a suitable search strategy for each database, using keywords related to socio-economically vulnerable classes and health outcomes. Socio-economically disadvantaged individuals are more susceptible to tooth decay and periodontal disease (with relative tooth loss) than non-vulnerable people. Additionally, when multiple vulnerabilities are combined in the same subject, these oral diseases worsen. There is no type of vulnerability more affected by caries and periodontitis than others, since overall they all have severe disease indices. The data from this systematic literature review might be useful for health policy makers looking to allocate more resources and services to socially disadvantaged individuals, resulting in making them more resilient to oral disease due to their social marginalization.

Introduction: Transport workers have a very haphazard and incongruent schedule which makes it difficult for them to follow proper oral hygiene practices. The prevalence of tobacco habits is also found to be high due to their long periods of work and constant stress. This study aimed to assess the oral health status and tobacco habits of the government bus drivers and conductors of NWKRTC, Belagavi City, Karnataka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 451 Government Bus drivers and other employees of NWKRTC who gave consent for the study. WHO Oral Health Assessment Form 2013 was used to record the oral health status and a self-designed, validated questionnaire was employed for recording the oral hygiene practices and tobacco-related habits. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square was used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of the employees of NWKRTC is 43.55 years and there are 414 males as compared to only 37 females. The mean DMFT score was 5.55±3.08. 228 of them had some kind of tobacco habit with guthka (25.9 percent) being the most prevalent one. 57 employees had manifestations of leukoplakia and OSMF. There was an association between tobacco habits and oral mucosal lesions as well as the DMFT score. Conclusion: The Oral Health Status of the Government employees of NWKRTC is poor. It is further compounded by the high prevalence of tobacco habits and associated lesions and it is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately.
