Abstract

Background and Aims: Dental caries is a multifactorial and common disease that leads to a decrease in the quality of life of individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between serum Vitamin D and Dental caries in the third year-to-last year students of dental school of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 123 dental students. Demographic and health information were completed through a checklist. The level of Vitamin D in individuals was measured by blood sampling. We recorded caries by ICDAS (international caries detection and assessment system) in two levels of D(1-6)MFT (total of decayed, filled and missing tooth) and D(3-6)MFT (total of progressive decayed, filled and missing tooth). Data analysis was done by the SPSS package version 25 using statistical tests of correlation and regression. Results: The results showed that the correlation coefficient between Vitamin D and caries index D(1-6)MFT was-0. 89 with a P-value of 0. 3328 which was not statistically significant. Based on the backward logistic regression, there was a positive significant statistical association between the D(3-6)MFT with Vitamin D deficiency (P<0. 001), weight (P=0. 012), dental visit (P=0. 023) and frequency of sweet snack consumption (P=0. 03). In addition a significant and inverse statistical association was reported between the D(3-6)MFT and milk consumption (P=0. 026). Conclusion: Among dentistry students, no relation between Vitamin D deficiency and early stages of decay was seen, however this relation was statistically significant in regard with progressive Dental caries.
