Abstract :
According to the many advances that have been made in the fight against diseases at the global level it souuld be said that dental caries and body mass are the multi-factorial diseases but are still considered as the most common diseases in the world which are studied along with body mass index (BMI) and dental caries index (DMFT) . In this study, which was conducted in a review method, we worked by using the key words such as BMI, DMFT, children. Searching in reliable scientific databases in Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Ovid Medline, WHO site, articles and theses published during the years 1998 to 2022, and finally 20 sources were selected and criticized, interpreted , was analyzed. It seems that due to the fact that both are multi-factorial indicators, as a result, some of the reviewed studies stated that these two indicators had a positive effect and others indicated that these two indicators had no effect. It is suggested that a supplementary study on the effect of these factors in relation to each other be done in the future.
