Young chronically ill children receive a greater sugar load from liquid medications than do healthy children. They receive variety of oral liquid medications that healthy children do not This study was planned to know the levels of oral hygiene and Dental caries in children on long term liquid oral medicines (LOM) and to know out if any difference existed between these and children not on LOM. 51 children on LOM were compared to 54 not on LOM after equalising for age, oral hygiene and diet intake. Highly significant difference was found for dmft and dmfs in 2-6 year age group and dmft+ DMFT for 6-13 years age group, mostly posterior teeth were affected and for this the difference was statistically significant in 2-6 year old children. Percentage of children with dmft>5 significantly increased in 2-6 years old children on LOM, when compared to that of control. Percentage of various grades of lesions (relating to the severity) also increased with an increase in the duration of LOM.
患有慢性病的幼儿从液体药物中摄入的糖分比健康儿童更多。他们会服用各种健康儿童不会服用的口服液体药物。本研究旨在了解长期服用液体口服药物（LOM）的儿童的口腔卫生水平和龋齿情况，并了解这些儿童与未服用LOM的儿童之间是否存在差异。在对年龄、口腔卫生和饮食摄入量进行均衡处理后，将51名服用LOM的儿童与54名未服用LOM的儿童进行了比较。在2 - 6岁年龄组中，dmft和dmfs以及6 - 13岁年龄组中的dmft + DMFT存在高度显著差异，受影响的大多是后牙，在2 - 6岁儿童中这种差异具有统计学意义。与对照组相比，服用LOM的2 - 6岁儿童中dmft>5的儿童百分比显著增加。随着服用LOM时间的延长，各种等级病变（与严重程度相关）的百分比也有所增加。
