ABSTRACT

A study to assess the caries experience and periodontal health in 11-15 year old rural school children was carried out in Sevagram, Wardha. No restoration were found. Of the 802 children, 53.50% had dental caries and 59.35% had gingivitis. The mean DT score +/- SD, was 1.2068 +/- 0.2058. Prevalence of dental caries (p < 0.01) and gingivitis (p < 0.05) was increasing as the age increased. Oral hygiene Index +/- SD, was 0.73 +/- 0.45 in children using toothpaste and brush which was very low in comparison to other material used for teeth cleaning.
