To investigate dental erosion among 12-14 year old Sudanese school children and evaluate the associated risk factors.
Cross sectional survey in secondary schools in Khartoum city, Sudan.
A sample of 157 school children was obtained from both private and public schools. Erosion on the labial and palatal surfaces of maxillary incisors was measured by criterion based on the Smith and Knight Tooth Wear Index. Dietary intake and other related factors were assessed using a questionnaire.
The overall erosion prevalence in this group was 66.9%, of which 45.2% was mild and 21.7% was moderate erosion. A strong association was found between erosion and private schooling (higher socioeconomic groups), carbonated drinks, herbal hibiscus drink and traditional acidic food consumption.
There was a high prevalence of dental erosion among Sudanese school children which was mild to moderate in severity and was strongly associated with acidic dietary intake
调查12至14岁苏丹学童的牙齿侵蚀情况,并评估相关风险因素。
在苏丹喀土穆市的中学进行横断面调查。
从私立和公立学校抽取了157名学童作为样本。根据史密斯和奈特牙齿磨损指数标准测量上颌中切牙唇面和腭面的侵蚀情况。使用问卷评估饮食摄入及其他相关因素。
该组总体侵蚀患病率为66.9%,其中45.2%为轻度侵蚀,21.7%为中度侵蚀。发现侵蚀与私立学校教育(较高社会经济群体)、碳酸饮料、木槿花茶和传统酸性食物消费之间存在密切关联。
苏丹学童牙齿侵蚀患病率较高,严重程度为轻度至中度,且与酸性饮食摄入密切相关。
