[Caries intensity and oral hygiene in adult dental patients in Budapest].

Authors examined 868, 15-69 age old, non-selected patients. DMF-T scores were between 7.8 and 24.69, DMF-S scores were between 14.78 and 67.39. Both data increased according to the age of the patients. The scores of the Periodontal Index (PI) were between 0.47 and 1.32, and the scores of the OHI-S between 1.10 and 1.59. Among those patients, who were non-smokers, and regularly visited their dentist, better dental status and oral hygiene could be observed.
