Abstract

Objectives: To describe gingivitis prevalence and related factors among first-year students at VNU University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 2024. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 205 first-year students from the VNU University of Medicine and Pharmacy, examined at 182 Luong The Vinh Clinic from June 2024 to May 2025. Results: Gingivitis was found in 68.8% of students, mostly mild (51.7%). Mild bleeding on probing accounted for 53.2%, with no severe cases. Oral hygiene was acceptable, with 87.8% rated average to good. Significant associations (p<0.05) were found with sugary/acidic food intake, brushing frequency, floss and mouthwash use, and dental check-ups. Conclusion: Gingivitis is common among first-year students and associated with oral hygiene habits and sugar/acid-rich diets. Strengthening oral health education and interventions is recommended to improve student oral health.
