OBJECTIVE
This study was aimed at determining dental fluorosis prevalence and severity amongst 6-13-year-old students residing in Medellin, Colombia.
METHODS
A descriptive study was carried out on 1,330 students attending 34 public schools in the city of Medellin. Two dentists trained in dental fluorosis diagnosis performed the examinations were after the teeth had been brushed. Teeth were dried with gauze, isolated with cotton pellets and visually examined in natural light. The Thylstrup and Fejerskov index (TFI) was used for rating fluorosis.
RESULTS
Dental fluorosis prevalence was 81 % (TFI>1); 46.4 % was related to mild dental fluorosis (TFI1 and TFI2) and 8.8% to severe dental fluorosis (TFI >5). TFI > or = 1 was found in 21 % of the children being examined in at least 50 % of their teeth.
CONCLUSION
Dental fluorosis prevalence level was found to be high in Medellín, Colombia; health authorities should thus focus their attention on preventing this problem.
目的
本研究旨在确定居住在哥伦比亚麦德林市的6至13岁学生的氟斑牙患病率及严重程度。
方法
对麦德林市34所公立学校的1330名学生进行了一项描述性研究。两名接受过氟斑牙诊断培训的牙医在学生刷牙后进行检查。用纱布擦干牙齿，用棉球隔离，在自然光下进行目视检查。采用蒂尔斯楚普和费耶斯科夫指数（TFI）对氟斑牙进行评级。
结果
氟斑牙患病率为81%（TFI>1）；46.4%与轻度氟斑牙（TFI1和TFI2）有关，8.8%与重度氟斑牙（TFI>5）有关。在至少50%的受检儿童牙齿中发现TFI≥1。
结论
哥伦比亚麦德林市的氟斑牙患病率较高；因此，卫生当局应将注意力集中在预防这一问题上。
