Abstract

A study was executed to investigate the relation between the use of fluoride tablets by children in the age period 1.5-6 yr on the one hand and the caries experience at the age of 6 and 15 yr and the prevalence of fluorosis at the age of 15 yr on the other hand. The year of birth of the child, the motivation of the mother to engage in preventive dental behavior, the level of her school education and her place of birth were taken into account as possible confounding factors. A significant relation was found between the use of fluoride tablets and the prevalence of fluorosis. The most important predicting factor for the caries experience of the child was the mother's motivation to engage in preventive dental behavior. An effect of fluoride tablets on the caries experience could not be demonstrated.

摘要

一项研究旨在调查1.5至6岁儿童使用氟片一方面与6岁和15岁时的龋齿经历以及15岁时氟斑牙患病率之间的关系。将儿童的出生年份、母亲采取预防性牙齿行为的动机、她的学校教育水平和出生地作为可能的混杂因素进行考量。研究发现使用氟片与氟斑牙患病率之间存在显著关系。儿童龋齿经历的最重要预测因素是母亲采取预防性牙齿行为的动机。未证明氟片对龋齿经历有影响。
