Abstract

Objective: To describe the rate of tooth decay and some related factors in patients at Bach Mai hospital in 2022-2023. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 387 outpatients. To determine the dental indicators: index of decayed (D), missing (M), filled (F) teeth, DFMT, prevalence of dental caries. Using multivariate logistic regression to identify factors related to caries prevalence. Results: Out of 387 respondents, female gender accounted for the majority, 61.0%. There was 54 people who have diabetes as a background disease, accounting for 14%. The age group from 35 to 64 years old accounted for the majority, nearly 50%. The prevalence of dental caries in the study was 65.1%. The high rate of tooth decay at the age of 6-16 years old accounts for 75%.The average DFMT index is 3.2 points, of which the age group over 65 has the highest DFMT with an average of 6.7. Factors related to the rate of tooth decay include diabetes, not having regular dental check-ups, age group from 35 to 64 years old. Conclusion: The oral health status of outpatients is still a worrisome health issue. More studies are needed to clarify the factors associated with oral health problems in this population.
