OBJECTIVE
To describe the lifetime prevalence of dental pain among Maryland's school age children.
METHODS
Data come from the Survey of Oral Health Status of Maryland School Children conducted in 2000-01. History of dental pain, as reported by an adult respondent, was analyzed for 2,411 kindergarten and third grade students. Percentages with their 95% confidence interval were calculated to obtain state representation of the distribution of dental pain by sociodemographic characteristics and caries status.
RESULTS
Overall, 11.8 percent of Maryland school age children in kindergarten and third grade have had some dental pain. Among children who have had caries, the report of dental pain increases to 28.2 percent. Children from families with low educational attainment or eligible for free or reduced meals or covered by Medicaid were more likely to have experienced dental pain.
CONCLUSION
Almost a third of Maryland kindergartens and third graders who have caries have experienced dental pain.
目的
描述马里兰州学龄儿童牙齿疼痛的终生患病率。
方法
数据来自2000 - 2001年进行的马里兰州学童口腔健康状况调查。对2411名幼儿园和三年级学生由成年受访者报告的牙齿疼痛史进行了分析。计算了带有95%置信区间的百分比，以获得按社会人口统计学特征和龋齿状况划分的牙齿疼痛分布的全州代表性数据。
结果
总体而言，马里兰州幼儿园和三年级的学龄儿童中有11.8%曾有过牙齿疼痛。在有龋齿的儿童中，牙齿疼痛报告率增至28.2%。来自教育程度低的家庭、符合免费或减价餐条件或参加医疗补助计划的儿童更有可能经历过牙齿疼痛。
结论
马里兰州几乎三分之一有龋齿的幼儿园和三年级学生经历过牙齿疼痛。
