OBJECTIVES: As part of the 6th German Oral Health Study (DMS * 6), the migration history of the study participants was determined at the population level for the first time. METHOD AND MATERIALS: The evaluation and presentation of migration-related indicators, oral health behavior, and oral diseases were carried out separately for 12-year-olds, 35- to 44-year-olds, and 65- to 74-year-olds. RESULTS: When considering the prevalence of disease and care, differences were found between people with and without migration history in all three age groups. The first group had higher prevalences of oral diseases as well as a more complaint-oriented utilization of dental services. CONCLUSION: The data on the prevalence of oral diseases, oral health behavior, and dental service utilization provide evidence that people with migration history do not seem to benefit in the same way from group and individual prophylaxis services as people without migration history.
