“…The finding was in accordance with a study done by Shailee et al 26 where they had 626 males and 385 females. Findings of Johansson et al, 27 Al-Darwish et al, 28 Sood et al, 29 Dhar et al, 30 Sudha et al, 31 and Singh et al 32 were also in agreement to our study where greater preponderance was observed for males because females were getting lesser opportunity to get proper education, mainly in rural areas, than males in developing countries like India, whereas studies by Mtaya et al, 33 Khanal and …”

“…This finding is in agreement with data from a study conducted in Australian indigenous children, which reported that living in a rural location was the strongest indicator of caries prevalence, severity and unmet treatment needs in the primary dentition (6). A similar trend has been observed in studies conducted with non-indigenous children from Brazil and Qatar, where children residing in urban areas had lower mean DMFT indices, a significantly lower risk of dental caries and reported significantly fewer toothaches and greater use of dental services than those residing in semi-urban/ rural areas (18,19). Actions of the dental team in the Xukuru community are evident, especially given the considerable proportion of the filled component among permanent teeth.…”

“…Bivariate analyses were performed to determine associations between the independent and dependent variables. Variables with a P-value <0.20 in the bivariate analysis as well as those considered epidemiological determinants (age group, group of villages, breastfed, bottle fed, consumption of sugar, oral hygiene frequency, mother's schooling and monthly household income) (16)(17)(18)(19) were incorporated into the multiple regression models in ascending order of their p-values (20). Variables with a P-value <0.05 were maintained in the final regression models.…”

Investigations into the oral health status of indigenous populations are scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate caries experience and associated factors among 342 indigenous children and adolescents aged 5-15 years of the Xukuru community in the municipality of Pesqueira, Brazil. A cross-sectional census study was carried out using the criteria of the World Health Organization to determine caries experience. Examinations were performed by two calibrated dentists and a questionnaire was administered to parents/caregivers addressing socio-demographic data, diet and oral hygiene habits. Logistic regression analysis were performed, with dmft and DMFT as the dependent variables (P < 0.05). Caries experience (dmft/DMFT) was high in both the primary and permanent dentition (75.6% and 62.9%, respectively). Mean dmft and DMFT indices were 3.11 and 2.21, respectively. Caries experience in the primary dentition was associated with children residing in villages far from urban areas (P = 0.016), while caries in the permanent dentition was associated with older children (P < 0.001) and with children from villages at an intermediate distance and far from urban areas (P < 0.001). The indigenous subjects exhibited a high degree of caries experience, which was associated with age and group of villages. Public policies are needed to improve the oral health status of this population. (J Oral Sci 57, 123-129, 2015)

Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the impact of oral health education program on the level of oral health knowledge among female public intermediate school students in Riyadh. As well as to evaluate the correlation between their oral health knowledge and selected socio-demographic variables. Methods:A pre-posttest quantitative study was conducted at public intermediate girls' schools in Riyadh. A sample of schools was selected using stratified random sampling technique to reflect the spectrum of intermediate schools under the Riyadh's educational regions (north, south, middle, east, and west). Five schools were randomly chosen from the department of education listings in each educational region. A total sample of 315 school students between the ages of 12 and 16 years completed the study. Permission to perform this study was received from the Institutional Review Board of King Saud University and Ministry of Education. A 15-item self-administered questionnaire was designed in Arabic language and used to assess the student's oral health knowledge. Followed by the intervention which consisted of 40 minutes interactive lecture using power point presentation presented by the investigator. The impact of the oral health education program was evaluated by measuring the change in the level of oral health knowledge one month after the program implementation. The data obtained from the questionnaire were entered into a Statistical Package for Social Sciences database (IBM, SPSS version 23, IL, USA). Descriptive statistics were used in calculating the frequency and percentage for categorical sociodemographic characteristics.Mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for the continuous variables e.g. age, total score of knowledge. The impact of the program was estimated by calculating the percentage of change in the oral health knowledge which is calculated by 100 (post test score -pretest score)/post test score. McNemar's Chi-square test was used to compare correct / incorrect responses to oral health based questions before and one month after the program implementation. Student t-test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to compare responses to oral health questions in relation to selected socio-demographic variables. A p-value of <0.05 was used to report the statistical significance of results.Results: Three hundred and eighty questionnaires were distributed, out of which three hundred and fifteen were completed giving a response rate of 82.8%. Among the 315 students, 30.8% were first graders, 32.7% second graders, and 36.5% third graders. Nearly 80% of the participants were Saudis and the remaining were non-Saudis. The age range of the participants was 12-16 years with a mean age of 13.98 ± 1.094. Prior to the implementation of the educational program, the question regarding the indication to remove dental plaque and calculus at the dental clinic, received the lowest percentage of correct answers (13.3%). Regarding the knowledge of the number of permanent teeth, only 24.1% of ...
