TI  - Multivariate analysis of oral hygiene data from a representative sample.
PG  - 891-4
AB  - BACKGROUND: This analysis was based on an oral health survey with dental 
      examination and interview by questionnaire. METHOD: The data set comprised a 
      representative random sample of the over 14-year-old residents of the German 
      Federal State of Saxony (n=714), in which a multivariate logistic regression 
      analysis was conducted. The dependent variable was the debris index (DI) score of 
      the oral hygiene index scoring system. The subjects were split into 2 groups by 
      dividing DI scores into tertiles: those with acceptable oral hygiene (1st 
      tertile, DI 0.00< or =1.20) and unacceptable oral hygiene (2nd and 3rd tertile, 
      DI>1.20). The most important explanatory variable was the community periodontal 
      index of treatment need (CPITN). RESULTS: The higher the CPITN score, the lower 
      the probability of acceptable oral hygiene. In relation to the reference category 
      score 0, higher CPITN scores were associated with acceptable oral hygiene, with 
      an odds ratio 0.05 (95% confidence interval (CI)=0.01-0.23) for CPITN score 1, 
      and an odds ratio 0.02 (95% CI: 0.01-0.08) for score 4. Further significant 
      variables were: self-evaluation of tooth condition, gender, and the number of 
      missing teeth.
