Objective: The goal of this study is to determine the degree of dental caries experience of children in Champasak Province.
Methods: The authors analyze the oral examination results of 100 primary school, 99 junior high school, and 100 high school students.
Results: The decayed-filled primary teeth index (dft index) of 6-year-old primary school children was 5.30 and their primary tooth dental caries experience rate (df rate) was 88.00%. The decayed-filled-missing permanent teeth index (DMFT index) of 12-year-old middle school children was 0.75 and their permanent tooth dental caries experience rate (DMF rate) was 35.35%. The DMFT index of 15-year-old middle school children was 2.20 and their DMF rate was 64.00%.
Conclusion: For the growth of qualitative dental care, the manpower required to meet the needs of people must be assessed and efforts must be made to produce them through appropriate medical education.
