Abstract

Dental problems are a group of conditions affecting children that are cosmetic, functional, and malocclusion-related. Among kids aged 7–14 years in Ramadi, Anbar governorate, Iraq, the goal of this study was to identify the incidence of the most common dental disorders among those who attended school, 2400 school pupils from elementary and middle schools were recruited using a randomized stratified clustering technique. The research subjects were separated into three groups, with each group consisting of 800 pupils (400 boys and 400 girls). The examination was conducted in a quiet environment with natural light. With a disposable mirror, the lips and cheeks were retracted. This study employed the chi-square test, which was implemented in (SPSS) version 22 to analyze the data. The incidence of entirely oral health ailments was 12.3 percent in the study population (Enamel hypoplasia 9.1 percent, Macro-dontia 2.1 percent, Microdontia 0.5 percent, Peg lateral shape 0.3 percent, Meso-dense 0.25 percent). Despite the fact that preventing dental disorders is a difficult task, health education activities for parents and school-aged children are essential. The requirement for early detection and treatment should be enforced.
