The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral health status of the parents and their children and the relationships between the parents' oral health status and their children one. Subjects comprised 200 parents (mothers and fathers) and 200 of their children selected at the pediatric dental clinic of the children's hospital Albert Royer and the pediatric dental clinic of the Department of Odontology. In both groups, we have evaluated the dental caries prevalence and dental examination was performed using DMFT or DMF teeth for children. To evaluate the oral hygiene habits we used the Silness and Löe index and a questionnaire. We have finally assessed the relationships between the parents' oral health status and their children' oral health. The dental caries prevalence was 63% for the parents with mean DMF teeth of 5.8 and 5.2 SD and for the children it was 94% and the DMF teeth was 5.85 and 4.00 SD. The parents' DMF teeth, their gingival health and their oral hygiene habits were significantly associated to their professional status (ANOVA: p = 0.00 < 0.05). The DMF teeth of the children was associated with those of their parents and to their parents' professional status. The children's oral hygiene habits and their parents' habits were also associated.
