Official title: Correlation Between Dental Caries Prevalence In Primary Teeth And First Permanent Molar of Children In Mixed Dentition Stage

to find the clinical relation between caries experience in primary teeth and first permanent molar in mixed dentition stage using def index for primary teeth , DMF index for first permanent molars and to find the clinical relation between caries prevalence in the selected children in relation with other associated factors such as age, sex tooth brushing frequency, dietary habits and mother's attitude toward child's oral health.

Read the detailed description

the problem for which the study held is lacking of data about relation between prevalence of dental caries in primary teeth and first permanent molar of the same child in mixed dentition stage, incidence of dental caries is influenced by number of risk factors such as age, sex dietary and oral hygiene habits identifying high risk individuals helps development of systemic approaches for preventive oral care programs world wide Dental caries is the major public health problem in most high income countries, affecting 60-90%of school children and the vast majority of adults. it also the most prevalent oral disease in several Asian and Latin American countries Although for the moment it appears to be less common and less severe in the greater part of Africa, the WHO report 2003 anticipates that in light of changing living conditions and dietary habits, the incidence of dental caries will increase in many of that continent's low income countries(WHO,2006)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. prevalence of dental caries in mixed dentition

    def(decayed primary tooth,decayed indicated for extraction tooth or filled primary tooth), DMF (decayed permanent tooth, missed of permanent tooth due to caries or filled permanent tooth) lower scores means better outcome

  2. relation between caries prevalence and other associated factors
