DENTAL HEALTH STATUS OF PATIENTS ATTENDING THE UNIVERSITY IN VIETNAM
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate status of dental health and need of dental treatments among patients attending the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City from 2017 to 2020.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 595 adult patient’s dental records (254 males and 341 females) attending the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City for comprehensive dental care. Dental health status and data collection were evaluated by using World Health Organization criteria 2003.
Results: The prevalence of dental caries was found to be 93.28%. The mean DMFT index was 8.13 (± 6.31). A significant difference of mean DMFT and its each component was observed between the ages (P < 0.05). Additionally, 95.13% patient had gingivitis, and 30.42% had tooth wear. Treatment needs of periodontal disease presented a highest percentage (99.83%), including scaling treatment (84.04%) and non-surgical treatment of periodontal disease (9.24%). The results indicated that 94.62% patients needed filling due to their dental caires (87.9%) and their tooth wear (28.91%). Regarding clinically defined treatment needs, about 34.45% of participants required tooth extraction, 56.3% needed prosthodontic treatment, and 32.77% required pulp care.
Conclusions: This study comes out with the significant prevalence of dental caries and periodontal disease, and high treatment needs of those among patients attending the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City.
