OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the prevalence of dental caries in patients with cleft lip and/or palate and their cleft-free sibling controls.
METHODS
The two subject groups (patient and control) comprised 106 participants. The former group consisted of 53 patients with cleft lip and/or palate,aged 12 to 29 years, who visited the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Hospital at Damascus University of Syria. The control group consisted of the patients' siblings who had no clefts,and they were sex matched to the patient group. Dental caries were examined clinically and were reported using the decayed,missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index. The DMFT scores were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS
The author found an overall association of dental caries with the presence of cleft lip and/or palate (odds ratio = 2.52; 95% confidence interval =1.389-4.574; p , .05). The DMFT index scores were proportionally higher inpatients with cleft lip and/or palate compared with the control group (p , .001).
CONCLUSION
Subjects with cleft lip and palate are susceptible to dental caries independently of socioeconomic status.
目的
评估唇腭裂患者及其非唇腭裂的同胞对照者的龋齿患病率。
方法
两个研究对象组(患者组和对照组)共106名参与者。前一组由53名年龄在12至29岁之间、前往叙利亚大马士革大学口腔颌面外科医院就诊的唇腭裂患者组成。对照组由患者的非唇腭裂同胞组成,且在性别上与患者组匹配。对龋齿进行临床检查,并使用恒牙龋失补(DMFT)指数进行记录。比较两组的DMFT评分。
结果
作者发现龋齿与唇腭裂的存在总体上存在关联(比值比=2.52;95%置信区间=1.389 - 4.574;p <.05)。与对照组相比,唇腭裂患者的DMFT指数评分相对更高(p <.001)。
结论
唇腭裂患者易患龋齿,且与社会经济地位无关。
