Session
Dental Sciences
Description
Aim - the aim of this research was to assess the oral health of children of the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities in the territory of Kosovo.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:- 202 children from the RAE community were included in this research. DMFT index for permanent teeth and dmft index for deciduous teeth were evaluated in these children.
RESULTS- The dmft index value varies in the range of 3.38 ± 3.38; 95.00% CI: 3.39-4.33; average is 4.00; the minimum value is 0.00 and the maximum value is 14.00.
The value of the DMFt index varies within the range of 2.07 ± 2.06; 95.00% CI: 1.78-2.36; average is 2.00; the minimum value is 0.00 and the maximum value is 12.00.
Also for H = 8.54 and p < 0.05 (p = 0.01) an important and significant difference was found between the dmft index and the frequency of dental visits.
CONCLUSION---Difficult economic circumstances are among the main factors of oral health in these children.
