Abstract

This study aims to describe the current situation and analyze risk factors associated with dental root caries in the elderly. The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the Department of Odonto - Stomatology, E Hospital with 400 participants. The proportion of patients with at least one root caries lesion was 20 and the root caries index (RCI) was 1.8. Most decayed lesions were found on mesial and distal surfaces (44%) and were non-active (56%). The results indicated that individuals  of 75 years old and over (OR = 4.00), always having snacks (OR = 1.83),   taking minimal or no concern about oral health (OR = 3.37; OR = 39.39), having removal denture (OR = 4.01) had higher risk of suffering from root caries. Conversely, patients with higher education (OR = 0.50), income over 5.1 million dong (OR = 0.38), brushing teeth more than 2 times per day (OR = 0.24)  with more than 20 teeth (OR = 0.07) were found to have a lower chance of being affected by root caries
