Survey, Comparison, and Analysis of Caries, Periodontal Pocket Depth, and Urgent Treatment Needs in a Sample of Adult Felon Admissions, 1996

James H. Clare, DDS, MPH

North Carolina Department of Correction, Division of Prisons, PO Box 29540, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0540

This survey describes the prevalence of dental decay, moderate periodontal pocket depth, and urgent treatment needs in a sample of adult felon admissions. When possible, results are compared to reference groups. This is a descriptive survey without statistical tests of significance.

This survey found a higher mean number of decayed surfaces and percentage of unmet needs than those reported in reference groups. The prevalence of moderate and deep periodontal pocket depth was higher also. At least one-fourth of the sample had one or more urgent treatment needs. A possible cause for the difference between the survey results and the results for reference groups may be a higher representation of lower socioeconomic groups in the prison population.
