The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of dental caries and level of unmet dental need among female offenders in a federal prison in Connecticut.
All inmates admitted into the Federal Correctional Institution at Danbury, Connecticut, from May 31, 1997, to May 21, 1998, were given oral screening examinations (n=500; age range=20-65 years). The data were analyzed in terms of race/ethnicity and age groupings. DMF and D/DF scores were determined.
The mean DMFT and DMFS scores were 16.8 and 57.0, respectively; the scores were higher for non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics than non-Hispanic blacks, and increased with age. The mean DT/DFT and DS/DFS scores were 36.8 percent and 36.0 percent, respectively. These scores were higher for non-Hispanic blacks than non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics, and decreased with age.
Female prisoners had high levels of dental caries and racial disparities persisted in the prison.
本研究旨在确定康涅狄格州一所联邦监狱中女性罪犯的龋齿程度和未满足的牙科需求水平。
对1997年5月31日至1998年5月21日期间入住康涅狄格州丹伯里联邦惩教所的所有囚犯进行了口腔筛查检查（n = 500；年龄范围 = 20 - 65岁）。根据种族/族裔和年龄分组对数据进行了分析。确定了DMF和D/DF分数。
平均DMFT和DMFS分数分别为16.8和57.0；非西班牙裔白人和西班牙裔的分数高于非西班牙裔黑人，且随年龄增长而增加。平均DT/DFT和DS/DFS分数分别为36.8%和36.0%。这些分数非西班牙裔黑人高于非西班牙裔白人和西班牙裔，且随年龄下降。
女性囚犯龋齿水平较高，监狱中种族差异持续存在。
