OBJECTIVE
To compare levels of caries in permanent teeth between children and adults and specifically, the extent to which the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) index was greater in adults than in children.
METHODS
The analysis was based on published reports from 26 countries with comparable summary data on dental caries for different World Health Organisation index ages. Reports were obtained from two large electronic databases, the World Health Organisation Oral Health Country/Area Profile Programme and the Global Burden of Disease 2010 Study.
RESULTS
Very much higher levels of caries occurred in adults than in children in all 26 countries. For most countries, irrespective of the DMFT levels in 12-year-olds, the percentage difference in levels of DMFT between 12-year-olds and 35- to 44-year-olds was above 500% and the relative difference was 5 or more.
CONCLUSION
Large differences in experience of dental caries in permanent teeth were found between childhood and adulthood.
目的
比较儿童与成人恒牙的龋病水平，特别是成人的龋失补牙（DMFT）指数高于儿童的程度。
方法
分析基于来自26个国家的已发表报告，这些报告包含了不同世界卫生组织指数年龄的可比龋齿汇总数据。报告来自两个大型电子数据库，即世界卫生组织口腔健康国家/地区概况计划和2010年全球疾病负担研究。
结果
在所有26个国家中，成人的龋病水平远高于儿童。对于大多数国家，无论12岁儿童的DMFT水平如何，12岁儿童与35至44岁成人之间的DMFT水平百分比差异均超过500%，相对差异为5或更大。
结论
发现儿童期和成年期恒牙的龋病经历存在很大差异。
