Abstract:

Aim: The aim is to determine the relationship between the OHI-S, caries incidence and age for children's groups. Materials & Methods: Object of observation: First group - 100 children aged 4.5 and 6 years without treatment with varnish CV. Second group - 100 children aged 4, 5 and 6 years treated with Clinpro â?¢ White Varnish with TCP (Tri-Calcium phosphate) (3M) â?? CV. Oral-Hygiene Index, OHI-S Greene & Vermillion (PI / 6 + CI / 6) - (Modified) is used to establish Oral Hygiene status. Location of the study â?? University Medical Dental Center Varna, Clinical Halls for Children's Dentistry, Faculty of Dental Medicine â?? Varna. A specialized STATISTICA 10.0 package is used for statistical analysis of the data Results: The resulting p-levels are less than 0.05, indicating that the dmft variable (dental caries frequency) also depends on the OHI-S values and the age factor of the study groups of children. The above table shows that there is a statistically significant difference in OHI-S mean values, as p-level = 0.0000001 < 0.05. The hypothesis of equivalence of mean values at a significance level of 0.05 is discarded. The presence of a statistically significant difference in average of OHI-S for untreated and OHI-S for treated children means that the index values for untreated children are higher than those for the treated children (p-level = 0.0000001, p < 0.05). Conclusion: A Poisson regression for dependent values of the dmft index of OHI-S and lower jaw, factor dmft /p-levels of less than p<0.05/. We found a statistically significant difference.
