All men are born equal and are endowed by their creator with some basic rights. As the military is to defend the country from external threats, so is the police for maintenance of the internal peace of the community. The irregular shifts in their work schedule lead to neglecting or skipping of their regular diet and indulging into adverse habits. It is the responsibility of the society to safeguard the health of their defenders.
A cross-sectional study was carried out on 475 central reserve police personnels in Mathura city. Consent was obtained from the concerned authorities and the subjects were clinically examined using WHO 2013 "Oral Health Assessment Form."
This study revealed that 99.6% subjects were males, 62% subjects were of 21-35 years age group, mean dentition status was found to be 0.66 ± 2.08 and, most of the subjects needed prompt treatment including scaling.
Police personnels provide a unique opportunity to study a large population from diverse geographic backgrounds. Prevention oriented health education lectures should be delivered and possibly, should also form part of their training curriculum.
人人生而平等，造物者赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利。军队的职责是保卫国家免受外部威胁，而警察的职责是维护社区的内部和平。他们不规律的工作排班导致忽视或错过正常饮食，并养成不良习惯。保障这些保卫者的健康是社会的责任。
对马图拉市475名中央后备警察进行了一项横断面研究。获得了相关当局的同意，并使用世界卫生组织2013年《口腔健康评估表》对受试者进行了临床检查。
本研究显示，99.6%的受试者为男性，62%的受试者年龄在21至35岁之间，平均牙列状况为0.66±2.08，大多数受试者需要立即治疗，包括洗牙。
警察为研究来自不同地理背景的大量人群提供了独特的机会。应开展以预防为导向的健康教育讲座，并且很可能还应将其纳入他们的培训课程。
