High prevalence of dental caries was found, with 99.4% of adults having a DMFT score of 1 or higher.
The mean DMFT score among participants was significantly high at 17.3, with variations based on age and education.
Increased daily tooth brushing correlated with lower DMFT scores, but smokers and drug users had higher scores.
Public health interventions are needed to address oral health issues, especially for less educated and at-risk groups.
