A study on the oral health status of 198 factory workers (in Antara Steel, Pasir Gudang, Johor) was carried out in November 1986. The subjects were predominantly male (94%) and Malay (91%) with an average age of 27.4 years. The prevalence of caries was 87.4% with a mean DMFT of 7.1 + 5.4. There were 3 subjects with full upper, lower dentures and 16 subjects with partial dentures. Two subjects examined needed dentures but were not wearing them. Thirty five (17.7%) of those examined needed urgent extractions, and 8 needed emergency treatment for fillings. Enamel opacities were found in 141 subjects (75.6%) but only 9 were aware of these defects. Dental health was very poor with 72% examined needing scaling. Seventeen (9%) had gross supra and subgingival calculus. There was a total of 107 (54%) smokers and heavy nicotine stains were found in 41 (20.7%), of the population examined. Examination of soft tissues showed 111 (56%) subjects with recurrent aphthous ulcers whilst 15 (7.6%) suffered from herpes labialis. Five subjects (2.5%) suffered from denture stomatitis whilst the prevalence of other soft tissue lesions was very low.
1986年11月，对198名工厂工人（位于柔佛州巴西古当的安塔拉钢铁厂）的口腔健康状况进行了一项研究。研究对象以男性为主（94%），马来族为主（91%），平均年龄为27.4岁。龋齿患病率为87.4%，平均龋失补牙数（DMFT）为7.1 + 5.4。有3名受试者佩戴全口上下假牙，16名受试者佩戴局部假牙。两名接受检查的受试者需要假牙但未佩戴。接受检查的人中有35人（17.7%）需要紧急拔牙，8人需要进行补牙的急诊治疗。在141名受试者（75.6%）中发现了牙釉质混浊，但只有9人意识到这些缺陷。口腔健康状况很差，72%接受检查的人需要洗牙。17人（9%）有严重的龈上和龈下牙结石。在接受检查的人群中，共有107人（54%）吸烟，41人（20.7%）有严重的尼古丁污渍。软组织检查显示，111名受试者（56%）患有复发性阿弗他溃疡，而15人（7.6%）患有唇疱疹。5名受试者（2.5%）患有义齿性口炎，而其他软组织病变的患病率很低。
