PURPOSE
To investigate the prevalence of clinical consequences of untreated dental caries and its relation to dental fear among public schoolchildren in India.
METHOD

方法
采用三阶段分层随机抽样法，对班加罗尔市1452名12至15岁的学童进行了横断面研究。龋齿按照世界卫生组织（WHO）标准（1997年）评分，使用PUFA指数评估未经治疗的龋齿的临床后果。通过单项牙科恐惧问卷评估牙科恐惧。
结果
龋齿的总体患病率为57.9%，未经治疗的龋齿患病率为19.4%。与低恐惧儿童相比，高牙科恐惧儿童未经治疗龋齿的风险是其2.05倍。
结论
本研究表明，未经治疗的龋齿的临床后果患病率较低，并且牙科恐惧被证明是未经治疗的龋齿临床后果的一个重要决定因素。
