The control population was queried in EPIC as patients aged 2 to 6 years with a dental visit at NCH from 2013 to 2017 (n=305). Patients with complete odontograms had the dmft score counted and calculated by one single researcher who viewed all charts. Difference in caries experience and physical abuse history was determined using Pearson’s Chi Square test and difference in means between case and control groups was analyzed using a 2-tail t- test.Results: No significant difference (p = 0.16) was found between case and control groups when looking at presence of caries (dmft > 0). No significant difference (p = 0.54) in mean number of dmft between the two groups (case mean = 4.52; control mean = 4.81).Conclusion: There is no association between history of child physical abuse and caries status 2019 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1561979023201129 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1561979023201129 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
