The National Oral Health Survey of Vietnam 1999 was conducted to inform policy development.
This article aims to describe the oral health status, analyze its socioeconomic distribution, and evaluate change over time in the oral health of the adult population of Vietnam.
A multistaged stratified sampling process was used. Adults aged 18+ years completed a social survey and were examined by trained and calibrated dentists.
Oral symptoms were frequent. Dental care utilization was low and mostly problem driven. One third of adults had periodontal pockets. Calculus was highly prevalent. Caries level was moderate with a mean decayed, missing, and filled teeth score of 4.98 (SD 5.7), with most as untreated decay. Factors related to caries were gender, hygiene practices, socioeconomic status, location, and dental visiting.
The oral health status of the Vietnamese adult population was compromised by various factors. There was indication of deteriorating oral health of this population.
1999 年越南全国口腔健康调查旨在为政策制定提供信息。
本文旨在描述越南成年人的口腔健康状况,分析其社会经济分布,并评估其口腔健康随时间的变化。
采用多阶段分层抽样的方法。18 岁及以上的成年人完成社会调查,并由经过培训和校准的牙医进行检查。
口腔症状较为常见。口腔保健的利用率较低,且主要是针对问题的。三分之一的成年人有牙周袋。牙结石的患病率很高。龋齿程度中等,平均患龋齿、缺失和补牙的牙齿数为 4.98(SD5.7),大部分为未经治疗的龋齿。与龋齿相关的因素有性别、卫生习惯、社会经济地位、地点和看牙医的频率。
各种因素影响了越南成年人口腔健康状况,这一人群的口腔健康状况有恶化的迹象。
