A study to assess the caries experience and periodontal health in 11-15 year old rural school children was carried out in Sevagram, Wardha. No restoration were found. Of the 802 children, 53.50% had dental caries and 59.35% had gingivitis. The mean DT score +/- SD, was 1.2068 +/- 0.2058. Prevalence of dental caries (p < 0.01) and gingivitis (p < 0.05) was increasing as the age increased. Oral hygiene Index +/- SD, was 0.73 +/- 0.45 in children using toothpaste and brush which was very low in comparison to other material used for teeth cleaning.
在沃尔达县塞格拉姆开展了一项评估11至15岁农村学童龋齿经历和牙周健康状况的研究。未发现有修复情况。在802名儿童中，53.50%有龋齿，59.35%有牙龈炎。龋失补牙面均数（DT）±标准差为1.2068±0.2058。龋齿患病率（p<0.01）和牙龈炎患病率（p<0.05）均随年龄增长而上升。使用牙膏和牙刷的儿童口腔卫生指数±标准差为0.73±0.45，与用于清洁牙齿的其他材料相比非常低。
