dc.description.abstract | Numerous developing countries’ socioeconomic and political issues resulted in a significant
migratory phenomenon, which poses a health burden for the nations that receive migrant populations.
Often, the greatest age group of migrants is children and teens. Oral problems are one of the
most common reasons that immigrants in the receiving nations visit the healthcare system. Cross sectional research was conducted on children and teenagers housed at the Temporary Stay Center for
Immigrants (CETI) of the Autonomous City of Melilla (Spain) with the aim of identifying the state of
the oral cavity of these group of migrants. Information on the condition of the research group’s oral
cavity was gathered using the World Health Organization’s standards. The research comprised all of
the children and teenagers who were enrolled in the CETI for a defined period of time. A total of
198 children were assessed. It was determined that 86.9% of the youngsters were of Syrian descent.
There were 57.6% males and a 7.7 (±4.1) average age. The average caries index for children under the
age of six was dft =6.4 (±6.3), and for children aged six to eleven, it was 7.5 (±4.8), taking into account
both the temporary and permanent dentition, and for children aged twelve to seventeen, it was
4.7 (±4.0). A total of 50.6% of children between the ages of 6 and 11 needed extractions, compared
to 36.8% of children under the age of 6. The population under study had a significant incidence of
sextants where bleeding occurred during periodontal probing (mean 3.9 (±2.5)), according to an
examination of the community periodontal index (CPI). It is crucial to study the oral cavity status of
refugee children when designing intervention programs to improve their oral health and provide
health education activities that favour the prevention of oral diseases. | es |
