THE DENTAL STATUS IN FIRST GRADE CHILDREN
Abstract:
The hereby article presents a clinical study regarding the oral dental status in young children
from first grade. The study was applied on 100 children between the ages of 6-8 years who are studying
in different general schools in Sibiu in the 1st grade. We established a questionnaire with items
regarding oral status: who brushes them, what is the frequency of brushing, what type of brush they are
using etc. We also clinically examined them and noted everything on a chart that we designed, which
revealed data regarding: the number of teeth, number of caries, presence of gingivitis, plaque, tantrum
etc. The aim of this study was to inform the parents about the number of caries with the help of teachers
and to determine them to take children to a dentist on a regular basis.
