Dental Caries Status and Associated Factors Among Adults in Southeastern Iran: Findings From the Zahedan Adult Cohort Study
This study revealed significant variations in DMFT scores based on age, education, and oral hygiene practices among adults in Southeastern Iran, highlighting the importance of consistent dental brushing. The findings suggest the need for targeted public health interventions, particularly for smokers, drug users, and less educated populations, to address oral health challenges and reduce dental caries prevalence.
