Implication

Cross-sectional study on dental caries reveals associations with socioeconomic status and dietary behavior in children.

Key Points

  • Over 90% of children exhibited dental lesions, indicating a significant oral health issue.
  • Mean d₁-₆mfs scores were higher for boys and those in public schools, pointing to demographic disparities.
  • Regression analyses revealed that a healthier diet significantly reduces caries severity in children.
  • Logistic regression showed that education level of caregivers affects the likelihood of filled teeth in children.
