    Aim: The aimof this study was to assess the dental health of 6-15 year old children and toanalyze with geography-based sociodemographic features in the clinic of anuniversity hospital.Material and Methods: Dental caries scores of 258 children between ages 6-15 by performingfirst oral examination were determined. The geography-based data were analyzedto determine their socioeconomic status by making use of information obtainedfrom parents of patients. Multi-variable Poisson regression model was run tounderstand whether there is a significant relationship between socioeconomicstatus and risk of dental caries.Results: Findingssupport the assertion that lower levels of socioeconomic status are associatedwith higher counts of dental caries incidence. A child patient coming from aneighborhood averaging the lowest level of residential rent levels has anexpected dental caries count of 1.5 higher than a child patient coming from aneighborhood the highest level of average rent levels. The number of cariescount in a child patient coming from a neighborhood with the lowest level ofresidential real estate value level has an expected count 0.89 higher than froma child patient coming from a neighborhood with the highest level of averageresidential real estate value.Conclusion: The geography-based data, which is a data acquisition technique, willmake a great contribution to be able to achieve more reliable results forcommunity oral health researches. This new data acquisition technique increasesthe external validity of the association between socioeconomic status and oralhealth in children in Turkey.
