Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Both dental caries prevalence and periodontal status of children residing in children's homes in Sivas province of Turkey were evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was carried out in 16 state-protected children's homes in Sivas under the Directorate of Coordination of Children's Homes Centres of the Ministry of Family and Social Policies of Turkey. A total of institutionalized 90 orphan children between the ages of 6 and 18, who did not have any chronic diseases, were not taking medication, and were compliant and healthy, were included in the study. Since all participants of this study are under state protection, Sivas Children's Homes Center Coordination Directorate was contacted. The aim of the study and the procedures were explained in detail and official permission was obtained. The children's caregivers signed informed consent forms approved by the Ethics Committee. The examination procedures were performed by two trained dentists as recommended by the WHO. DMFT and deft, GI and PI indices were used to assess dental caries experience, gingival inflammation, and the amount of plaque on the tooth surface, respectively. Also, periodontal status and treatment need were evaluated using the CPITN index.
