title: [Oral health studies of the public health midwifery and nursing students before and after dental treatments].
abstract: The purpose of this research was to explore the oral health of the Public Health Midwifery and Nursing students of 1987-1988. Fiscal year Budget, totally 107. All were females, age between 17-21 years up. Methods and criteria used in this study were those described in the second edition of the World Health Organization Manual, Oral health survey-Basic Method (1977). The survey was divided into 2 parts. The first part was surveyed before oral health instruction and dental treatment, while the second part was survey after having got one year of oral health instruction and dental treatment. Results revealed that the components influenced upon dental services of 1 the second group were the family income per month and their over confidence of having saved from dental caries. For the above reasons, the second group students took the chance to refer that they did not want to have their dental services in every 12 months. For the first part the Mean DMFT were 2.97, while the Mean DMFS were 6.40 surface per person. The second part had their Mean DMFT 3.37, DMFS 6.87 surface per person. The total mean average of DMFT, DMFS of the first part valued less than the second group 0.40 and 0.47. The student caries status and the periodontal status were different from each other in the statistical values. Even though the dental caries got treatment, mostly both groups still needed for 1-surface fillings. For the periodontal disease, it was found out that the first part got soft debris 100%, while the second part had only 71%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
