The Role of Nationality in Childhood Caries in Qatar.

Unlabelled: Childhood primary dentition caries prevalence and experience is higher among Qatari than non-Qatari nationality children in Qatar but only this bivariate association has been described.

Objectives: There were two objectives. First, to understand the variation of primary dentition caries among 4- to 8-year-old children in Qatar across nationality classified into four groups, and second, to explore whether the association persisted in the presence of socio-demographic and behavioural indicators.

Correlates of childhood caries: A study in Qatar.

Background: The prevalance of dental caries in children in Qatar is high, which necessitates preventive efforts.

Aim: To identify the sociodemographic and behavioural correlates of dental caries in the primary dentition of children 4- to 8-year-olds in Qatar.

Design: Weighted data from the Qatar Child Oral Health Survey 2017 were analysed for caries prevalence (dmft>0) and experience (dmft).

Oral health behavior and factors associated with poor oral status in Qatar: results from a national health survey.

Objectives: Oral health is a crucial determinant of quality of life. We aimed to determine oral health condition and factors associated with poor oral status in the adult national population of Qatar.

Methods: We used data from the World Health Organization supported STEPS (STEPwise approach to Surveillance) Survey conducted by the Supreme Council of Health, Qatar in 2012.
