| Summary: | In order to analyze many factors that may be
effective in dental carries development, depend on the chief complaint and
diagnosis clinical evaluations were performed. 357 patients seeking treatment
for pain and dental infection caused by caries were selected. Different social
groups were seen among the patients from high class patients like university
professors, students and those who could
not afford private clinics and lower social classes who lived in poverty.
Questions were asked from the patients about their hygienic status, age,
respiratory health and the results were obtained. Of 357 cases who were 153
female and 204 male, 282 had dental caries while the caries rate was higher in
women. 195 of average hygiene patients, 165 had caries. Of 41 god hygiene
patients, 27 had caries. Caries rate in patients with mouth breathing was 48/58
ratio and those with nasal breathing 193/247. Also, among 52 cases with both
oral and nasal breathing , 48 were found with dental caries.
