Implication

Cross-sectional study reports high dental caries prevalence in Southeastern Iran, emphasizing oral hygiene influences.

Key Points

  • High prevalence of dental caries was found, with 99.4% of adults having a DMFT score of 1 or higher.
  • The mean DMFT score among participants was significantly high at 17.3, with variations based on age and education.
  • Increased daily tooth brushing correlated with lower DMFT scores, but smokers and drug users had higher scores.
  • Public health interventions are needed to address oral health issues, especially for less educated and at-risk groups.
