Despite a high community prevalence, little is known about the occurrence of oral conditions in general practice. In an observational study, 354 new cases of oral complaints were recorded in 35 participating practices during a period of six months (cumulative incidence = 6.7 per 1000 per year). The incidence was highest in children under five years of age (21% of all cases). The conditions diagnosed most frequently were aphthous ulceration, oral candidiasis, and herpes simplex infection. Most oral conditions were minor ailments, and could be dealt with by the general practitioner alone.
尽管社区患病率很高,但对于全科医疗中口腔疾病的发生情况却知之甚少。在一项观察性研究中,在六个月的时间里,35个参与研究的医疗机构记录了354例新发口腔疾病病例(累积发病率为每年每1000人中有6.7例)。发病率在五岁以下儿童中最高(占所有病例的21%)。诊断最频繁的疾病是复发性阿弗他溃疡、口腔念珠菌病和单纯疱疹感染。大多数口腔疾病都是小病,全科医生单独就可以处理。
