Clinical oral examinations and questionnaire\u2010based surveys were conducted from December 2016 to January 2017.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of dental caries in primary teeth was 85.3% with a mean dmft of 5.7 at age 6\u2009years. The prevalence of dental caries in permanent teeth and mean DMFT were 36.5% and 0.8 at 12\u2009years, 43.8% and 1.1 at 15\u201318\u2009years, 64.7% and 3.0 at 35\u201344\u2009years, and 93.6% and 11.5 at 60\u201374\u2009years. Missing teeth were higher in 60\u201374\u2010year\u2010olds, with 27 participants being fully edentulous. There were significant differences in caries experiences between males and females aged 15\u201318, 35\u201344 and 60\u201374\u2009years. In the adjusted logistic regression, consumption of sweets or candies three times or more a day showed significantly higher risks of dental caries in primary teeth. Age, gender, consumption of sweets or candies and consumption of sweet drinks were associated factors for dental caries in permanent teeth.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings from the first national oral health survey indicate that caries in primary teeth is an important oral health problem for Myanmar children. Tooth loss was also found to be a concern in the aging population. National oral health policies and strategies need to be developed to promote awareness and understanding of oral health, in particular the role of risk factors such as sugary foods and drinks in tooth decay in children and adults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cdoe.12896","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]],"date-time":"2023-07-27T10:40:50Z","timestamp":1690454450000},"page":"1266-1275","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Dental caries in the Myanmar population: Findings from the first national oral health survey in 2016\u20132017"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0350-7977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaung Myat","family":"Thwin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, WHO Collaborating Centre for Translation of Oral Health Science Niigata University Niigata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Ogawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, WHO Collaborating Centre for Translation of Oral Health Science Niigata University Niigata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prathip","family":"Phantumvanit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry Thammasat University Pathum Thani Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideo","family":"Miyazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry &amp; Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, WHO Collaborating Centre for Translation of Oral Health Science Niigata University Niigata Japan"},{"name":"Department of Dental Hygiene and Welfare Meirin Junior College Niigata Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yupin","family":"Songpaisan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Dentistry, Suranaree University of Technology Nakhon Ratchasima Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khin","family":"Maung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Health Division, Department of Medical Services Ministry of Health Nay Pyi Taw Myanmar"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"142","volume-title":"Ministry of Health, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar","year":"2014"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","unstructured":"The population and housing census of Myanmar.Summary of the provisional result.2014."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.Global health observatory country views: Myanmar statistics."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","unstructured":"National Health Network.Programs of health reforms.
