[Need for preventive dentistry in adult women: investigation in maternal convalescent homes. 2. Tooth and periodontal findings].
For this study an extensive oral examination was performed in 111 women between 21 and 48 years of age recreating themselves in special rest homes. A mean DMF-T of 19.1 and a mean DMF-S of 62.5 was found; women with a low education (Sonderschule) showed an especially high DMF-S of 85.0, participants with a secondary education (Abitur) had a DMF-S-Index less by half. The oral hygiene of the women was insufficient (mean QHI 2.6), papilla bleeding was easy to provoke in most of them. 98% of the women needed periodontal treatment, 10.8% showed a probing depth of 6-8 mm. 60.8% of 942 examined restorations needed to be renewed, the reason was mostly marginal leakage.
