The aim was to assess the dental caries status and related risk factors of 12\u2010aged children in primary schools in Hargeisa, Somaliland.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A school\u2010based survey was conducted in Hargeisa in December 2022. Using 2\u2010stage cluster sampling, 405 children (12\u2010aged) were randomly selected from 16 primary schools. Data collection involved WHO structured interviewer\u2010administered questionnaire and clinical examinations. The DMFT index was measured according to WHO criteria, and accordingly, the mean for the significant caries index (SiC) was calculated. The association between the DMFT and the relevant variables was analysed using negative binomial regression in STATA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall prevalence of dental caries was found to be 62.7%, with a mean DMFT of 1.7 and a SiC score of 3.7. Non\u2010public school pupils showed significantly higher prevalence of dental caries and mean DMFT compared to public school counterparts (68.5% vs. 58.6%) and (1.91 vs. 1.48), respectively. Merely 14.7% of the participants utilized dental care services in the previous year. The multivariable analysis showed a significant positive association of the DMFT outcome with attending a non\u2010public school (95% CI 1.16\u20132.12) and having many previous dental visits (95% CI 1.22\u20132.83). In the adjusted model, fathers of low education had children with better dental caries status (lower mean DMFT) than their well\u2010educated counterparts. The mean DMFT was not significantly influenced by the factors sex, location, educational attainment (school class of the participants) and frequency of teeth cleaning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although the overall mean DMFT of school children in Hargeisa could be regarded low, the high levels of untreated caries especially in the one\u2010third most affected are a cause for concern. Children enrolled in non\u2010public schools formed the high\u2010risk group. Preventive oral public health programs targeting Somali school children are recommended.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cdoe.12990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,23]],"date-time":"2024-06-23T23:38:45Z","timestamp":1719185925000},"page":"861-870","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Dental caries status and related factors among 12\u2010year\u2010old Somali school children in Hargeisa"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"52","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-7161-5784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdelrahman Eid","family":"Dahroug","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine and Global Health, Institute of Health and Society, Faculty of Medicine University of Oslo  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Espen Kolstad","family":"Heen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine and Global Health, Institute of Health and Society, Faculty of Medicine University of Oslo  Oslo Norway"},{"name":"Department of Nursing, Health and Laboratory Science, Faculty of Health, Welfare and Organisation Ostfold University College  Halden Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed A.","family":"Hussein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Planning Policy and Strategic Information, Ministry of Health Development  Hargeisa Somaliland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed Ali","family":"Madar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine and Global Health, Institute of Health and Society, Faculty of Medicine University of Oslo  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"WHO.Global oral health status report: towards universal health coverage for oral health by 2030.2022."},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"3","article-title":"The burden of oral disease: challenges to improving oral health in the 21st century.
