Evaluation of the oral health values in a group of adults

Abstract

This study aims to put into perspective the attitudes and oral health values of a defined population group from Romania, in connection with their dental habits. By using a set of closed questions, the individuals participating to the study were able to give a glimpse into the general psychology behind most of their decisions regarding oral health. The paper comes to provide valuable information regarding the difference between the oral health values of the studies subjects from different groups of environment, educational levels, sex, age, and work field. The results showed that the most favourable populational group to have a high oral health values and sanogenic behaviour is correlated with the feminine sex, high educational level, urban environment, medical work field, and not so much with age, as the results state a clear non-difference age dependant.
