AbstractIn 1986 a nationwide dental survey was carried out in the Netherlands. The aims of the study were to assess the prevalence of oral diseases, need and demand for dental care and oral selfcare in the Dutch population aged 15–74 yr. This paper describes the general sampling and analysis procedures to detect selectivity in the participation. Irregular dental attenders seemed to be underrepresented in the final sample. Poststratification was used to overcome this problem of selectivit

摘要:

AbstractIn order to assess the objective and subjective need for cosmetic dentistry in the Dutch adult population in 1986 a stratified sample of 2784 dentate persons, aged 15–74 yr, participated in the study. The aesthetics of anterior teeth and first premolars in the maxillary mandibular arch were determined by dental examiners as well as by the examinees. According to the dental examiners 16–63% of the people in the age range from 15 to 74 yr were in need of cosmetic dental care. Based on the patient's opinion (subjective need) these percentages varied between 18 and 40% in the different age groups. The discrepancy between the objective and subjective assessment in the percentage of people in need of cosmetic dental care increased with

摘要:

AbstractIn 1986 a nationwide dental survey was performed in the Netherlands. This article describes the prevalence of dentofacial anomalies in the age group 15–74 yr, as well as the subjective and objective need for orthodontic treatment. The main findings were: severe crowding in the mandible was found in approximately 15%; an Angle Class II situation was seen in 28%; a maxillary overjet of greater than 5 mm was found in 23%; orthodontic treatment had or was being performed in approximately 25%; 45% of orthodontic treatment was carried out by a general practitioner; using professionally defined need, 39% of the population required treatment whereas only 14% of the people fell that this treatment was necessar

摘要:

AbstractThe present study describes the amount and distribution of communication on dental health issues in Norwegian adults. The empirical data stem from a representative sample of Norwegians aged 15 and above, and were collected by means of personal interviews by the poll organization Norges Markedsdata in 1983. Edentulous subjects were excluded, and the study group finally comprised 1225 subjects. The dependent variable dental communication was a dichotomy based upon whether or not the respondents had communicated with friends about dental health during the last 6 months. The following independent variables were used: age, sex, marital status, education, use of dental services, number of teeth, knowledge of prevention, information about dental health from dentists and media, use of dental (loss and toothpicks. The empirical analysis was performed using contingency table analysis and Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA). Separate analyses were performed for men and women. Significantly more women (27.6%) than men (14.5%) reported dental communication. In addition, the model provided a hotter 111 to the data on women compared to men in terms of R2(12.5% and 8.9%). These observations can to some extent be accounted for by the existing sex‐role pattern. The only predictor which showed a consistent direct effect across sex was whether I he respondents had received information about dental health from media. This means That reference to the interpersonal context of mass communication perhaps best describes the complex transactional interplay of media and interpersonal sources in dental health matter

摘要:

AbstractAn oral health epidemiological survey using WHO assessment forms was conducted in the Republic of Slovenia (Yugoslavia) in 1987. The study population consisted of 1623 persons aged 6, 12, 15, 18, 35–44 and over 65 yr. The survey included 10 towns in 9 geographical areas of Slovenia. The results showed the prevalence of dental caries in the Slovenian population to be very high (93.6% in 12‐yr‐olds). The mean decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) scores were as follows: 5.1 at age 12 yr, 10.2 at 15 yr, 12.9 at 18 yr, 20.5 at 35 44 yr, and 27.0 in persons aged over 65 yr. Assessment of the periodontal status showed calculus to be the predominant disorder in the age groups 18 and 35–44 yr, while shallow pockets prevailed in persons aged ove

摘要:

AbstractSalivary, clinical, and microbiological factors were compared with subsequent 2‐yr caries increment in a group of 372 Scottish adolescents. The caries increment was significantly correlated with previous caries experience, salivary buffering capacity and counts of lactobacilli, mutans streptococci and Candida. Veillonella levels and salivary flow rate were not correlated with caries increment. Significant improvements in the predictions were obtained when the results of more than one test were included using stepwise regression analysis. On an individual basis, using stepwise discriminant analysis, the caries increment group (low, medium, or high) was identified correctly in 49% of all subjects, but this was reduced to 45% if previous caries experience was excluded from the analysi

摘要:

AbstractDental caries and chronic periodontitis may be synergistically associated, negatively associated, or completely independent. The present report examines this relationship by comparing the susceptibility to chronic periodontitis and caries within the same individual. From an 800‐paticnl sample, a periodontitis risk score was derived by radiographic assessment of bone loss in quarters of optimum bone height and obtaining for each subject a mean score based on all measurable surfaces. Similarly the caries risk was determined radiographically from the total decayed and filled teeth (OFT), as a percentage of the total teeth measured. The Mantel Haenszel technique was used for analysis of the relationship between periodontitis and caries and data was stratified on four categories of age, sex, and numbers of teeth present. This analysis revealed no systematic patterns, indicating that the risks of caries and periodontal diseases are unrelated (χ2=0.00; 1 df;P>0.50). In addition, a regression analysis, which was controlled for sex and age, indicated a marked lack of association between caries and periodontitis (P= 0.94). Thus, although these common diseases share putative etiologic factors such as oral hygiene practices and dental attendance pattern, the major risk factors are probably quite differe

摘要:

AbstractAn adult population of 1275 subjects aged 25, 35, 50, and 65 yr were examined clinically with respect to their periodontal and caries situation. An interview and questionnaire were used to chart the following variables: dietary and oral hygiene habits, social factors, appreciation of natural teeth, and use and availability of dental services. The associations between the risk factors and the probability of periodontal pocketing (≥4 mm) or abundant dental caries (≥7 lesions) among the dentate population were examined using a logistic regression model. The final model correctly classified periodontal pocketing in 65% of the cases and abundant caries in 76%. In addition to social variables, behavioral factors were found to be significantly associated with periodontal pocketing and abundant untreated dental car

摘要:

AbstractThe aim was to assess restorative care, approximal caries, and cost‐effectiveness in children at the ages of 8 and 17 yr in relation to NaF tablet intake between 1/2 and 7 yr of age. Based on interview data, 304 subjects (born 1967 in Lund, Sweden) were divided into five groups with different periods of consumption and one group with no intake. A statistically significant difference was found in fs at 8 yr (P<0.001) and in FS at 17 yr (P<0.01) between children who had taken the tablets regularly from the first year of life to age 5–7 yr (fs = 1.9; FS = 3.8) and the non‐consumers (fs = 5.2; FS = 5.9). In the other four tablet groups, both the fs and the FS values tended to decrease with increasing duration of intake. The prevalence of approximal caries also tended to decrease, as regards both dfs and DFS, with increasing duration of tablet consumption, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.001) in primary teeth between children with the longest intake (dfs = 1.4) and non‐consumers (dfs = 4.9). The cost‐effectiveness ratio was approximately 1:1 for both dentitions. Most of the effect was obtained in the primary

摘要:

AbstractIn a group of 124 persons, 50–60 yr old, the prevalence at baseline of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli and the salivary secretion rate and buffer capacity were examined. The mean secretion rate was 1.58 mL/min with a flow rate below 1 mL/min found in 20% of the persons. A buffer capacity below end pH 5.5 was observed in 64% of the subjects. MS was not detected in 5% of the persons whereas 17% had 106or more MS per ml saliva. Lactobacilli were not found in 10% of the persons while 21% had counts in excess of 105CFU/mL. A new examination 5 yr later in 1986 revealed no significant changes in secretion rate and buffer capacity or in the population of lactobacilli, whereas markedly elevated levels of salivary MS were found.S. sobrinuswas detected in 35–37% of the persons at the two examinations. Persons with bothS. mutansandS. sobrinushad more MS than persons with onlyS. mut
