The study sample was 4,448; male: 2,021 and female: 2,427 made up of urban: 2,564 and rural: 1,884. Oral health status was assessed in terms of number of teeth, decayed teeth (DT), filled teeth (FT), decayed, missing or filled teeth (DMFT), community periodontal index and plaque index. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; The mean number of teeth was 27.4, with DMFT: 4.3, DT: 3.0 and FT: 0.7. The mean number of sound teeth was higher (p &lt; 0.01) in men (24.1 vs. 23.3 in women), FT in urban residents (1.0 vs. 0.2 in rural residents) and DT in women (3.3 vs. 2.8 in men). Three of 4 subjects were in need of restorative treatments. All subjects had dental plaque; 387 (8%) healthy gingiva; 1,016 (23%) exhibited bleeding; 2,025 (48%) calculus and 1,020 (21%) deepened pockets. Men\u2019s periodontal status was worse than women\u2019s (p &lt; 0.002). Low level of education was associated with having 27 or fewer teeth (OR = 1.7), calculus (OR = 1.5) or deep periodontal pockets (OR = 2.7). &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; A majority of 18-year-old Iranians seem to enjoy a full dentition. High prevalence of dental plaque, calculus, periodontal pockets and untreated dental cariesespecially among underprivileged groups may put them at risk for tooth loss in adulthood.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000129610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,5]],"date-time":"2008-06-05T07:36:29Z","timestamp":1212651389000},"page":"302-307","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Oral Health and Treatment Needs among 18-Year-Old Iranians"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hossein","family":"Hessari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miira M.","family":"Vehkalahti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad J.","family":"Eghbal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamid","family":"Samadzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heikki T.","family":"Murtomaa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.2005.00235.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj..2003.com122.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F00016350260248256"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000102150"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F00016356408993968"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177%2F00220345010800051401"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.puhe.2004.05.011"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F00016359609006016"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0140-6736%2807%2960031-2"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1996.tb00880.x"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/129610","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/129610","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:30:06Z","timestamp":1745458206000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000129610"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000129610","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1011-7571","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0151","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
