They were then immediately examined for z IN determine their status of dental hard tissures by using the WHO criteria. Also determined were the CPITN and the needs for orthodontic as well as prosthodontic treatments.
The results were then statistically analyzed to determine the correlation coefficiencies between the awareness and the status of oral diseases by using SPSS statistical package. The results suggested the followings;
1. The correlation coefficiencies between the awareness and the status for number of teeth decayed, missed, and indicated for extractions were 0.18, 0.06 and 0.09 respectively.
2. The correlation coefficiency between the awareness and the status in treated teeth(F component) and CPITN were 0.622 and 0.10 respectively.
3. The agreement between examiners and examines on the needs for prosthodontic treatments was 87.31% and their sensitivity and specificity were 47.54% and 88.55% respectively.
4. The agreement between examiners and examinees on the needs for orthodontic treatment was 70.40% and their sensitivity and specificity were 77.27% and 69.71% respectively.
