Status/ Remark: Oral screening of 77 students had been done by the Year 3 dental students and RAKCODS Community Services Team, led by Dr. Vivek Padmanabhan, marketing management, represented by Mr. Majed, and teaching assistants, to check their oral hygiene status and also to assess their dental needs. It has been found that many students are susceptible to high caries risk.
