Data on oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and dental attendance were collected using structured questionnaires. Clinical examinations assessed dental caries (DMFT\/dmft), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and calculus deposition. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, Student's t-tests, and ANOVA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean age of participants was 9.6 years.
