A sample of 603 11-year-old children from four low fluoride (less than 0.15 ppm) and one higher fluoride (1.56 ppm) communities in Namibia and KwaZulu were examined in 1988 using the CPITN. In a rural low fluoride community in Namibia only 6 per cent of children had healthy mouths compared with 42-58 per cent in the other communities. The main periodontal lesion seen was gingival bleeding (19-47 per cent) followed by calculus (6-47 per cent). There is a need for both oral hygiene improvement and simple intervention.
1988年,使用社区牙周指数(CPITN)对纳米比亚和夸祖鲁的四个低氟(低于0.15 ppm)社区以及一个高氟(1.56 ppm)社区的603名11岁儿童进行了检查。在纳米比亚的一个农村低氟社区,只有6%的儿童口腔健康,而其他社区这一比例为42%-58%。观察到的主要牙周病变是牙龈出血(19%-47%),其次是牙结石(6%-47%)。改善口腔卫生和进行简单干预都很有必要。
