: The association between oral cavities and the SARS-CoV-2 virus is an issue commonly analyzed and studied. In our study, the relationship between the dental status and social environment of patients receiving treatment during the coronavirus pandemic and COVID-19 vaccination was analyzed. : This retrospective study was based on 2034 dental records obtained from the Institute of Dentistry of the Medical University of Lodz. The collected data pertaining to caries enabled the assessment of the oral cavity health of individual patients and could be compared with the undergoing vaccination against COVID-19. : The statistically significant results showed that unvaccinated patients compared to vaccinated patients had more teeth with caries, less teeth extracted due to caries, more teeth in total, and lower DMFT and dental treatment indexes. It was shown that, with increased age, the value of the DMFT index increases. Statistically significant differences between patients living in rural and urban areas were as follows: rural residents showed lower DMFT and filling indexes. : No direct relationship between the vaccination of patients and oral health has been proven. Statistically, the group of vaccinated patients are significantly older than the unvaccinated, and the significant differences between the above groups are most likely due to the difference in the average age of patients in the two groups. Our study showed a lower average DMFT index and a higher treatment intensity index in people from the countryside compared to those living in a large city. In this respect, our study stands in opposition to the existing research findings.
口腔与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）病毒之间的关联是一个经常被分析和研究的问题。在我们的研究中，分析了在冠状病毒大流行和新冠病毒疫苗接种期间接受治疗的患者的牙齿状况与社会环境之间的关系。
这项回顾性研究基于从罗兹医科大学牙科学院获得的2034份牙科记录。收集到的与龋齿相关的数据能够评估个体患者的口腔健康状况，并可与正在进行的新冠病毒疫苗接种情况进行比较。
具有统计学意义的结果表明，与接种疫苗的患者相比，未接种疫苗的患者有更多患龋牙齿，因龋齿拔除的牙齿更少，牙齿总数更多，并且龋失补指数（DMFT）和牙科治疗指数更低。结果显示，随着年龄的增长，DMFT指数的值会增加。农村和城市地区患者之间具有统计学意义的差异如下：农村居民的DMFT和补牙指数较低。
尚未证实患者接种疫苗与口腔健康之间存在直接关系。从统计学角度来看，接种疫苗的患者组明显比未接种疫苗的患者年龄大，上述两组之间的显著差异很可能是由于两组患者平均年龄的差异。我们的研究表明，与生活在大城市的人相比，农村人的平均DMFT指数较低，治疗强度指数较高。在这方面，我们的研究与现有研究结果相反。
