Supplemental file 1: Sexual health risk indicators and their associations with caries status and gingival health of adolescents resident in sub-urban South-West Nigeria

Adolescents are at high risk of poor sexual and oral
health. We investigated
for sexual risk factors associated with caries experience and gingival health
among adolescents in Nigeria. There were no significant associations between
caries experience and history of sexual intercourse (OR:1.00); condom use at
last sex act (OR:0.68); and having one (OR:2.27) or more sexual partners. Also,
there was no significant association between moderate/severe gingivitis and a
history of anal (OR:2.96), oral (OR:2.69), or vaginal (OR:1.40) sex; and a
report of having one (OR:1.71) or more (OR:2.57) sex partners. Some sexual health risk indicators insignificantly
increase the risk for caries and moderate/severe gingivitis. Screening for
sexual risk behaviors during dental care may be a suitable wellness programs approach
for adolescents.
