Abstract：
OBJECTIVES:To obtain basic data on dental caries and gingival status of students in Myanmar, and to identify related risk indicators, including socioeconomic conditions and oral health behaviours and habits. STUDY DESIGN:This cross-sectional study enrolled 537 fifth-grade students in Myanmar. Oral health behaviours and dietary patterns of students were assessed using questionnaires. Oral examinations were conducted to identify dental caries and gingivitis, and the oral samples were obtained to determine the bacteria levels in dental plaque. RESULTS:The dental caries prevalence was 68.5%, with a mean number of decayed teeth of 2.07 ± 2.15. The prevalence of gingivitis was 98.9%, and the mean number of inflamed gingival areas in the anterior region was 16.2 ± 5.4. No significant differences were found between the sexes in terms of dental caries and gingivitis. Oral hygiene was significantly poorer, and levels of bacteria in dental plaque were significantly higher in boys than in girls. Multiple linear regression tests were used to analyse the association between risk indicators and dental caries and gingivitis. Tooth brushing frequency, a daily habit of mouth rinsing, dental visit experience, consumption of sugary snacks and oral hygiene status were significantly associated with dental caries. Mother's occupation, tooth brushing frequency, consumption of sweet drinks, oral hygiene status and bacterial levels in dental plaque were significant predictors of gingivitis. CONCLUSIONS:Myanmar students had a high prevalence of dental caries and gingivitis. Socioeconomic condition, oral hygiene status and oral health behaviours were all determined to be significant risk indicators.
