The total sample composed of 150 students (75 males and 75 females).
The clinical examination was conducted by using blunt mouth probe, following
the (GI) described by Silness and Loe (1963).
Results of this study have shown that mean of gingivitis decreases with advancing
class level with a high significant difference between all classes due to higher
awareness regarding prevention of dental diseases among finished dental students.
Results also show that gingivitis among males is higher than that among females for
all classes because of having better oral hygiene practices than males.
