“…This observation is found similar to that observed in western industrialized countries (58.3%) [14,15] but observed high when compared with some industrialized countries of East Europe [14–16]. This observation is contrary to the study conducted by Harikiran et al [17] (38.5%), and a study by Sahil handa et al shows that almost every study subject brush their teeth [18] It was observed that only 28% of subjects brushed their teeth twice every day. Just by mass health education, brushing twice in a day cannot be implemented in the community [19].…”

“…The majority of the subjects (87.8%) used tooth brush with tooth paste as oral hygiene aid. Similar results were reported by Sahil Handa et al in Gurugram where 81% used both tooth brush and tooth paste [18], and Punitha Sivaprakasam (62.9%), in Kanchipuram district [20]. This result is not in accordance with that of the study conducted by Mahesh Kumar et al in Chennai, where the use of charcoal as a medium to brush their teeth prevails over the tooth brushes [21].…”

Background. Socio-economic status is a total measure of a person’s work experience and of an individual or family economic and social position in relation to others, based on income, education and occupation. Objective. The study was conducted to determine the differences in attitudes of people from different socioeconomic statuses towards their oral hygiene. Method. A cross sectional study was conducted among subjects of various socioeconomic groups. Socioeconomic status and oral hygiene data was collected using Aggarwal scale having 22 items questionnaire addressing various aspects of knowledge and attitude of subjects towards oral health, and simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI- S), respectively. Statistical analysis was done using chi- square test and frequency distribution (P< 0.05 taken as significant). Results: Among 500 subjects, 260 (52%) were found to have good oral hygiene, and most of them (43.46%) were from lower middle class group. A highly significant association was found between the oral hygiene and socioeconomic status (p=0.000). Conclusion. It could be concluded that the socioeconomic status is not the only factor that determines a person’s attitude towards oral hygiene, but other factors such as lack of awareness, lack of availability of dentist nearby, fear and anxiety also play an important role.

“…In the United States, China, Sweden, Burkina Faso and Senegal ( 26 ), the prevalence of caries in children and adolescents was higher in the urban areas than in the rural areas. However, in other studies the highest prevalence of caries occurred in rural areas compared to urban areas (India, Russia and Poland) ( 27 - 29 ). These contradictory results can be explained in part because in very isolated rural areas, although there is less access to oral health services, the unfavorable socioeconomic conditions limit the access to cariogenic food, which can be easily found in urban zones ( 26 ).…”

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to compare the ICDAS-II caries status and caries-related factors among children from rural and urban schools in Pasto, Colombia.Materials and MethodsThe study included 120 children (4 - 6 year- old children) from rural (privileged) and urban (unprivileged) schools. Caries was evaluated using the ICDAS-II criteria. A survey about the factors related to the presence of caries was applied. Chi-square and Fisher’s tests were used to assess the differences in each study variable between the two groups. A Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the number of teeth, per ICDAS-II category, between the groups. Negative binomial regression was used to estimate the percentage change in the mean number of teeth, per ICDAS-II category, among the rural and urban students.ResultsSignificant differences were found between the rural and urban students for the ICDAS-II 0 and 3-6 categories (p<0.001). The mean number of teeth with moderate-to-severe caries status increased 233% in children from the rural school compared to those attending the urban school (p=0.0). Toothbrushing frequency (p=0.006), cariogenic diet, time elapsed from last dental visit, socioeconomic status, and type of health regime (p<0.001) were among the significant factors related to the rural and urban schools.ConclusionsThis was the first study to compare ICDAS-II caries status between rural and urban students in Colombia. A worse caries status was found in rural students. This study identified the socioeconomic and clinical factors to guide specific interventions for rural children by modifying the available oral health promotion and disease prevention programs.

“…The WHO recommends the use of simplified structured questionnaires for the collection of data on self-assessment of oral health and risk factors in adults (Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults) 4 . The questionnaire has been tested in a larger number of countries around the world 10,11 . The language barrier can be the reason to prevent intensive use of an instrument in countries where English is not a native language.…”

Introduction/Aim: Oral health impact on the quality of life presents the increasing need in testing the individual's oral health and one of the entire population. The goal of the paper was to translate the index of "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" of the World Health Organization into the Serbian language and to check its reliability. Methods:This study has been designed as an observational, epidemiological study. Index of the "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" has been translated into the Serbian language. The classical theory of tests was used in data analysis. The characteristics assessed included internal consistency and construct validity. Results:A total of 1741 participants were included in this analysis. The mean age of the study group was 32.4 ± 9.7 years. In the last 12 months, problems which occurred frequently or very often regarding teeth and mouth were the following: difficult biting of food (6.2%), difficulty chewing (5.1%), difficult speech or difficult pronunciation of certain words (1.9%), dryness of the mouth (2.9%), the feeling of discomfort due to esthetic appearance of teeth (6.8%). The reliability of the "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults" (items considering Oral health self-assessment) had high internal consistency (the Cronbach's  coefficient was 0.879). The Principal component analysis and Promax rotation revealed 1 factor with Eigenvalue exceeding 1, accounting for 54.3% of the total variance. Conclusion: A Serbian version of the "Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults", provides very useful and reliable information on the condition of oral health of the Serbian Armed Forces. Apstrakt Uvod/Cilj: Procena uticaja stanja oralnog zdravlja na kvalitet života, predstavlja sve veću potrebu u ispitivanju oralnog stanja pojedinaca, ali i cele populacije.
