Abstract
Epidemiological dental surveys according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria are made regularly in many countries around the world. The aim of this survey was to study the prevalence and intensity of dental caries among two key age groups of the adult urban population (35–44 years and 65 years and older) in dependence on their gender, educational level and smoking. The present survey showed high levels of the prevalence and intensity of dental caries in both age groups, the intensity of caries and number of missing teeth increased with age. The highest levels of DMFT index was found among women, low-educated participants and current smokers. The results of this survey are necessary to determine the value of real therapeutic and preventive dental treatment needs of the adult urban population and for long-term planning of dental treatment in Saratov region.
