A 3-day dietary history was obtained from 363 Riyadh schoolchildren aged 12-13 yr, after which their dentitions were examined for dental caries. About 16-31% of the children were caries-free and the mean DMFT varied between 1.67 and 2.43. However, in those with at least one tooth decayed, missing or filled, the mean DMFT remained constant at about 3, irrespective of age or gender; and most of the carious teeth were unrestored. There was a statistically significant relationship between DFS and the frequency of sugar consumption on the first 2 days of the dietary diary. It is suggested that the management of dental caries in the children must include the control of dietary sugar.
从363名年龄在12至13岁的利雅得学童那里获取了一份为期3天的饮食记录，之后检查他们的牙列以确定是否有龋齿。约16%至31%的儿童没有龋齿，平均龋失补牙数（DMFT）在1.67至2.43之间。然而，在那些至少有一颗牙齿龋坏、缺失或补过的儿童中，无论年龄或性别，平均DMFT都保持在约3不变；并且大多数龋坏牙齿都未进行修复。在饮食记录的前两天，龋面均（DFS）与糖的摄入频率之间存在统计学上的显著关系。建议对这些儿童的龋齿管理必须包括控制饮食中的糖分。
