Further, the subjects were divided into active and caries-free based on caries experience.
Two indexing methods were utilized to record the decay status, i.e., Decay, Missing, filled
(DMFT) and Pulpal, Ulcerative, Fistula (PUFA) scores. Caries active group was further divided
into a High-risk group (DMFT=< 10), Moderate risk (DMFT= 4-9), and Low risk (DMFT=1-3).
Questionnaire: Baseline information was gathered, including specifics on age, sex, height,
weight, dietary preferences (non-veg/veg), and dental hygiene practices.
