AbstractThe effect on caries prevalence of the permanent dentition was evaluated alter 5 years of weekly rinsing (139 scheduled rinses') with a 0.2% neutral NaF solution. The program was conducted in the Three Village Central School District. New York, U.S.A. (F≤0.1 part/106). First to sixth grade children who rinsed From 1 to 5 years respectively had a caries prevalence reduction of 45.3% (DMFT) and 47.4% (DMFS) compared to baseline scores of children who were examined be lore the rinsing program began. The highest caries reduction, 81.3%, was found on proximal surfaces. Two variables influenced the cariostatic benefits associated with fluoride rinsing. The younger that children entered the program and the longer that they rinsed, the greater were the accumulated benefit

摘要:

Abstract751 14‐ and 15‐year old children completed a 3‐year, double‐blind, caries preventive program. The effects of daily, supervised toothbrushing with an 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate dentifrice, rinsing with a 0.05% sodium fluoride mouthrinse, and the combined effects of the two treatments were investigated. Both the dentifrice and mouthrinse reduced the incidence of dental caries, but their combined use at die same lime had no greater effect than either use

摘要:

AbstractDuring the period 1976 to 1980 inclusively a form of staff appraisal amongst dental officers was introduced into the Community Dental Service in Leicestershire. The aim was to observe and review the output performance and potential of individual dental officers. In practical terms it was noticed that during this period there was a distinct change in work output and treatment patterns. Routine fillings and extractions showed a marked downward trend; the number of crowns per operator, the number of orthodontic appliances fitted, the number of root treatments performed, the patients radiographed and, above all, the total visits per full time equivalent dental officer all showed a noticeable and at times a highly pronounced increase. Although the downward trend in fillings and extractions reflects what now appears to be the overall tendency in developed countries, it is felt that the increase in other items was, to a large extent, due to peer appraisal.

摘要:

AbstractThe present study attempts to establish operational criteria which can be used in the evaluation of the Youth Dental Care Scheme (YDCS) established in Denmark in 1965. The utilization of the YDCS is studied in a population of 1655 16–22‐year‐old males and females all of whom had attended the Public Child Dental Care in the municipality of Aarhus. Data on enrolment and use of the YDCS were collected using an official data base established with the purpose of administering the YDCS and by a mailed questionnaire. The study showed that enrolment rate was approximately 80% for those individuals who had just left Public Child Dental Care. For individuals who had left Public Child Dental Care 4–5 years earlier, the enrolment rate was 74%. Enrolment rate al a given lime did, however, prove not to be a valid measure for the utilization. The study thus showed that only 65% of die individuals had been constant users for 4–5 years after they had left Public Child Dental Care. Women were more frequently constant users than men. Individuals from the higher social groups were more frequently constant users than individuals from the lower soci

摘要:

AbstractA representative sample (n= 8000) was drawn from the population aged 30 years and over, registered as living in Finland. Periodontal disease status was recorded according to the modified Periodontal Treatment Need System (PTNS). Plaque retentions were examined separately. Of the subjects with four or more teeth 3.4% had a healthy periodontal status, while 10.2% of the jaw quadrants were healthy Plaque retentions were found in 96.6% of the subjects and 90.9% of the jaw segments. Periodontal treatment need was calculated in three ways and was 195± 111 (S. D.) min when the calculation was based on WHO recommendations (1978). Number of teeth, age, sex, caries and filling scores, and education explained about 30% of the treatment need when tested by multiple linear regression analysis

摘要:

AbstractA model describing the relationship between self‐reported quality of restorative dentistry and demist characteristics for 119 Montana general dentists is presented. The best predictors formed a significant model explaining 22% of the variance of the quality measure. Results are contrasted with a previous estimation of the model for 102 Washington general practitioners. Evidence for the external validity of the model is presente

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of the present study is to introduce and discuss four indices to be used in epidemiologic recording of pulp treatment and extraction of primary molars. The indices are constructed on the basis of the four combinations existing between pulp treatment/no pulp treatment and extraction/no extraction. TheNPE‐index(No Pulp treatment or Extraction) reflects the relative number of teeth which are neither extracted nor pulp treated.EPM‐index(Extracted Primary Molars) reflects the relative number of teeth, which have been extracted.PPM‐index(Pulp treated Primary Molars) reflects the relative number of teeth which have been pulp treated.PNE‐index(Pulp treatment No Extraction) reflects the relative number of pulp treated and not extracte

摘要:

AbstractThe present article describes an attempt to improve the prediction of dental attendance, results by using an additional number of variables and performing discriminant analyses, clone separately for men and women, It appears that regular and irregular dental attenders might be discriminated on the basis of mathematically combined variables and interactions. The (number of) variables selected by the analysis to differentiate regular from irregular male attenders differ(s) from those selected for female attenders. About 80% of all respondents can be classified correctly, but this is largely due to the assignment of actual regulars to classified regulars. The use of differing sets of prior probabilities affects the classification results, namely, either the classification of the regulars or that of the irregulars improves. In the discussion attention is given to the seemingly contradictory results of the Mann‐ Whitney tests per variable on the one hand and the discriminant analyses on the other. In this connection, the finding that ‘education’ plays a different role for men than for women is discussed. The validity of the variable ‘last visit’ is dubious. It is concluded that when differentiating regulars from irregulars, a division of the respondents according to sex makes sense because of the (number of) variables associated with then‐ regular dental attendance. Furthermore, it seems warranted to say that the Classification of the irregulars fails because he reversed scores on the variables with which the regulars are classified don't contain all information needed for the prediction of irregular dental attendance. Lastly, notwithstanding the use of more variables in the present study, the results are not better than those in the previous one, in which just three factor

摘要:

AbstractFrom January 1962 to December 1978, 381 consecutive cases of oral cancer in Fars Province were analyzed and studied. The incidence of oral cancer was found to be 1.13/100000. The male/female ratio was 5:1, the median age of oral cancer was 55 years. 97 % of the oral cancel‐was squamous cell carcinoma. The most commonly affected oral site was the lower lip, next was the tongue. Tobacco smoking and opium addiction were more common among the affected compared with the control group. Dental sepsis and poor oral hygiene were common in both groups. Malnutrition, anemia and liver dysfunction were common in the examined sample and are thought to be possible causative factors especially in those with no smoking habits. The role of general dental practitioners was limited, they suspected and referred only 13 advanced case

摘要:

Abstract617 schoolchildren 10–19 years of age were examined in order to assess the prevalence of malocclusion in a population sample in Lagos. Class I occlusion accounted for 76.8%, followed closely by Class II malocclusion, 14.7 %, and Class III malocclusion, 8.4%. Crowding was recorded in 15.1 % of the cases, most of which occurred anteriorly. The present study shows some interesting differences in the prevalences of malocclusions compared to studies on Caucasian subject
