Abstract

Objectives: As part of the 6th German Oral Health Study (DMS • 6), the migration history of the study participants was determined at the population level for the first time.

Method and materials: The evaluation and presentation of migration-related indicators, oral health behavior, and oral diseases were carried out separately for 12-year-olds, 35- to 44-year-olds, and 65- to 74-year-olds.

Results: When considering the prevalence of disease and care, differences were found between people with and without migration history in all three age groups. The first group had higher prevalences of oral diseases as well as a more complaint-oriented utilization of dental services.

Conclusion: The data on the prevalence of oral diseases, oral health behavior, and dental service utilization provide evidence that people with migration history do not seem to benefit in the same way from group and individual prophylaxis services as people without migration history.

期刊介绍： QI has a new contemporary design but continues its time-honored tradition of serving the needs of the general practitioner with clinically relevant articles that are scientifically based. Dr Eli Eliav and his editorial board are dedicated to practitioners worldwide through the presentation of high-level research, useful clinical procedures, and educational short case reports and clinical notes. Rigorous but timely manuscript review is the first order of business in their quest to publish a high-quality selection of articles in the multiple specialties and disciplines that encompass dentistry.
