  • Title: The progression of dental disease in Omani schoolchildren.
    Author: Al-Ismaily M, Al-Busaidy K, Al-Khussaiby A.
    Journal: Int Dent J; 2004 Dec; 54(6 Suppl 1):409-10. PubMed ID: 15631105.
    Abstract:
    Following the first National Oral Health Survey of Omani 12-year-olds in 1993, in 1996 a follow-up survey was performed of the same cohort of subjects as 15-year-olds. The mean DMFT was found to have doubled from 1.5 to 3.2. The oral hygiene status remained poor with only a slight increase of those scored as plaque-free from 11% to 19% whilst the number of children reportedly with supra-gingival lingual calculus had risen from 28.5% to 42.5%.
