BACKGROUND
In recent years, disasters that overwhelm the capacity of humans have been frequent. However, international cooperation has been swift as a result of advances in transportation, enabling the more prompt administration of First Aid.
METHODS
We have had two opportunities to observe outcomes in oral hygiene immediately after and 10 months after two different major disasters.
RESULTS
The types of food provided to survivors altered their sense of taste and resulted in the occurrence of dental caries several months after an earthquake. In addition, it is difficult to practise good oral hygiene in the aftermath of a disaster.
CONCLUSIONS
We observed the occurrence of previously undocumented problems related to dental issues, such as changes in children's sense of taste caused by unfamiliar types of food provided in relief shelters. Dentists and dental hygienists who are involved in the relief of survivors in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster should focus on maintaining good oral health in order to prevent the occurrence of dental caries.
背景
近年来，人类应对能力所不及的灾害频发。但由于交通的进步，国际间的合作变得更加迅速，从而使急救工作能够更迅速地展开。
方法
我们曾有两次机会观察到两次不同的大型灾害过后即时及 10 个月后的口腔卫生结果。
结果
为幸存者提供的食物类型改变了他们的味觉，导致地震数月后发生龋齿。此外，在灾害发生后很难进行良好的口腔卫生。
结论
我们观察到了以前未记录过的与牙齿问题有关的问题，例如在避难所中提供的不熟悉类型的食物导致儿童味觉发生变化。参与灾害后幸存者救援的牙医和牙科保健师应专注于保持良好的口腔健康，以预防龋齿的发生。
