A questionnaire inquiring socio\u2010demographic characteristics, video gaming and abnormal oral habits of the children was filled by parents.

The daily video gamer and occasional video gamer children were not different in terms of socio\u2010demographic characteristics, frequency of having daily tooth brushing habit, using children's toothpaste and having regular dental checkup (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). No statistically significant difference was present between the groups in terms of frequencies of abnormal oral habits and having at least one abnormal oral habit (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Severe gingivitis and advanced caries lesions were more common in daily video gamer group (14.2% vs. 3.9%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.025 and 90.9% vs. 70.9%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.026, respectively).
