Abstract

Objective: To assess the oral health status of students at Vo Cuong 3 Primary School, Vo Cuong Ward, Bac Ninh City in 2024. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 256 students aged 6 to 8 years. Data were collected through oral examinations and analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software with Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. A p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The average DI-S index was 1.5, higher in boys than girls (1.27 vs. 1.12; p = 0.05). The mean dmft index decreased with age (from 6.48 to 5.22), while the DMFT index increased (from 0.38 to 1.18; p < 0.05). Girls had a higher dmft_mean than boys (6.33 vs. 5.54; p < 0.05). Decayed teeth accounted for the highest proportion, while the number of missing and filled teeth remained low. Conclusion: The oral health status of primary school students remains limited, especially among older children and those with newly erupted permanent teeth. Comprehensive strategies including school-based education, parental communication, regular dental check-ups, and timely treatment are needed to sustainably improve oral health.
