ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the existing correlation between Oro-Dental disease occurrences with dietary and social habits among the local dental patients
Methodology:This 30-day cross sectional study was conducted at Baqai Dental College Hospital Outpatient Clinic, Karachi, using pre- designed questionnaires. During the study, age, gender, types of oral disorders [identified by calibrated dental professional], and dietary preferences were looked. After informed consent and ethical approval, prospective and consecutive data of 115 subjects was collected and 15 were excluded because of inconclusive pathological oro-dental condition
Results: Oral lesions were reported as dental pain with bleeding, dental pain with swelling, dental pain only or dental pain with both swelling and bleeding. Only 32% participants admitted to consume Naswar/ Chalia and smoking. 21% patients admitted to consume all types of foods. 67% were suffering from tooth decay. Naswar/ chalia eaters and smokers presented with pain alone, and pain with swelling. Surprisingly those who claimed vegetable consumption were noted to have more dental decay as well as pain
Conclusions: This study suggested that in the absence of dominant abnormal social habits and food, suffering from Oro-Dental disorders may be related to poor quality of vegetables, water, host.s characteristics or activated HPA
axis in the development of pathogenic dental process.
