TI  - Prevalence and risk indicators of periodontal disease among high-school students 
      in Tehran.
PG  - 119-25
AB  - To identify the prevalence and risk indicators of periodontal disease in 
      high-school students in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, the periodontal 
      condition of 867 students aged 15-19 years was assessed using the community 
      periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN). The results showed that 88.7% of 
      these students had less than perfect periodontal health. Multiple regression 
      analysis revealed that sex, parents' educational level, frequency of 
      toothbrushing and flossing, preventive dental visits and presence of extracted 
      teeth were significant risk indicators for periodontal disease. School-based oral 
      health promotion and prevention programmes are needed.
