Periodontal status among schoolchildren in the Republic of Moldova: a cross ‐sectional study using the Pathfinder study design

ConclusionsModerate ‐to‐deep periodontal pockets were not uncommon in children in the 15‐year‐old cohort. Periodontal status was worse in children from rural areas than in children from urban areas. It is therefore suggested that an educational programme, together with preventive and interceptive protocols, sho uld be adopted in early adolescence and especially in rural regions.
