Objective: To assess the association of dental caries with self-reported dental caries, dental knowledge and habit; and with obesity in Vietnamese dental patients Methods : A cross sectional study was conducted on 367 adults (148 males, 219 females, mean age: 34.9 years old) who first visited at the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Self-reported dental caries, dental knowledge and habits, and anthropometric index were investigated by the self-administered questionnaire. Dental status including DT, MT, FT were examined. The multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to explore factors that were associated with dental caries. Results : Prevalence of dental caries in the study sample was 53.1%. The factors significantly related to dental caries were subjects having dental scaling during last year (OR=2.1; CI=1.1-4.0), self-checked teeth/gum frequency (OR=1.7; CI=1.0-3.0), self-reported dental caries (OR=2.4; CI=1.1-5.1), having knowledge on dental caries caused by bacteria (OR=2.1; CI=1.1-4.0), having knowledge on regular dental checkups (OR=3.9; CI=1.8-8.7) and overweight/obesity (OR=3.1; CI=1.5-6.2). Conclusion : Dental caries was associated with behavioral factors, dental knowledge and nutritional status in Vietnamese dental patients. Providing the dental knowledge with emphasis on oral self-checked oral disease behaviors and normal weight maintenance are necessary to prevent dental caries.
