Abstract
Objectives: Due to the diversity of eating patterns among the population, India is unique in the globe. Many Indians live a completely vegetarian lifestyle for the rest of their lives for religious and cultural reasons. The goal of this study was to look into the role of several factors in the development of dental caries, including dietary habits. Methods: Dental caries patients were evaluated for the type of caries they had and how it was related to other circumstances. Patients were given a dental examination and a questionnaire, and the data was recorded and analysed. Results: Females had a higher rate of dental caries. Vegetarians have a higher rate of dental caries than non-vegetarians. The age group of 21-30 years old was determined to be the most affected with dental caries. Conclusions: This study may be useful in determining the impact of various dietary factors, such as protein-rich diet, age, gender, and others, on the prevalence of dental caries, which may be useful in preventing an increase in dental caries cases and designing and planning preventive strategies for those who are most at risk.
