To assess the level of vitamin B and correlate it with dental caries [decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) score] and gingival diseases [plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI)].
Healthy children according to the inclusion criteria were selected by the computerized randomization method from a school to assess the vitamin B levels using Centaur/ Versace machine.
Blood samples were collected to assess vitamin B levels using automated analyzer. Oral examination was done by a single calibrated dentist. A thorough oral examination was carried out and the DMFT, PI, and GI scores of all the children were recorded and assessed. Data were analyzed using Karl Pearson's correlation test.
Vitamin B levels were deficient in 64% of the children. In boys, vitamin B deficiency was found in about 76.2%, whereas, in girls it was 57.1%, which was not statistically significant. The vitamin B deficient children showed a significantly high DMFT scores than the children with normal vitamin B levels. The Pearson's correlation was -0.614 for DMFT, PI value -0.663, and GI value of -0.477. The negative correlation stated that there was a reverse relation between these indices and vitamin B.
In children with systemic vitamin B deficiency, there is increased dental caries prevalence and associated gingival problems.

评估维生素B水平，并将其与龋齿[恒牙龋失补牙数（DMFT）评分]和牙龈疾病[菌斑指数（PI）和牙龈指数（GI）]相关联。
根据纳入标准，通过计算机随机化方法从一所学校中选取健康儿童，使用Centaur/Versace机器评估维生素B水平。
采集血样，使用自动分析仪评估维生素B水平。由一位经过校准的单一牙医进行口腔检查。进行全面的口腔检查，记录并评估所有儿童的DMFT、PI和GI评分。使用卡尔·皮尔逊相关性检验分析数据。
64%的儿童维生素B水平缺乏。男孩中维生素B缺乏率约为76.2%，而女孩为57.1%，差异无统计学意义。维生素B缺乏的儿童DMFT评分显著高于维生素B水平正常的儿童。DMFT的皮尔逊相关性为-0.614，PI值为-0.663，GI值为-0.477。负相关表明这些指标与维生素B之间存在反向关系。
在全身性维生素B缺乏的儿童中，龋齿患病率和相关牙龈问题增加。
