| Abstract | ||
| The study was a cross-sectional study of the fifth stage of medical, den-tal, and pharmacy students at the University of Anbar to assess periodontal health status. Objec-tives: To evaluate the periodontal status of medical students and to estimate their oral hygiene awareness. Materials and Methods A convenient sample of 75 students between the ages of 22 and 28 years old was examined to examine their medical history, dental history, smoking habits, oral hygiene measures, and relationship to oral health by measuring plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment loss. Results demonstrate no significant differences in the plaque index, gingival index, or bleeding on probing. While probing pocket depth and clinical attachment loss showed highly significant differences among males and females of pharmacy students, males of dental students, and females of dental students in the study groups. Conclusion this differs from our expectations, especially with a high social health status. | ||
