To provide prevalence data for dental caries in Georgia.
This World Health Organization pathfinder survey was conducted among 1,351 (6, 12 and 15 year-old) Georgian children, representing the main ethnic groups in urban and rural locations. Caries was analysed at univariate and multivariate levels, according to age, gender, urban/rural locality and ethnic group.
Caries experience levels among 6-year-olds were dmft = 4.57, sd 3.42 (14.8% caries-free); DMFT = 2.04 (sd 2.02) among 12-year-olds (31.1% caries-free); and DMFT = 3.51 (sd 3.14) for the 15-year-olds (17.7% caries-free). Urban children at ages 6 and 12 years were more likely to be caries-free and have both lower levels of caries-experience and higher levels of filled or restored teeth. In multivariate regression analyses, most age groups showed a significant contribution from residence location. No differences were found by age and no consistent differences were detected by ethnic group.
These data should provide the baseline for formulating and conducting public oral health efforts in Georgia, with emphases on rural residence locations.
提供格鲁吉亚龋齿患病率数据。
这项世界卫生组织探索性调查在1351名格鲁吉亚儿童（6岁、12岁和15岁）中开展，这些儿童代表了城乡地区的主要民族群体。根据年龄、性别、城乡地区和民族群体，对龋齿进行单变量和多变量分析。
6岁儿童的龋均（dmft）为4.57，标准差为3.42（14.8%无龋）；12岁儿童的恒牙龋均（DMFT）为2.04（标准差为2.02）（31.1%无龋）；对于15岁儿童，恒牙龋均（DMFT）为3.51（标准差为3.14）（17.7%无龋）。6岁和12岁的城市儿童更有可能无龋，且龋齿经验水平较低，补牙或修复牙的水平较高。在多变量回归分析中，大多数年龄组显示居住地点有显著影响。未发现年龄差异，也未检测到民族群体的一致差异。
这些数据应为格鲁吉亚制定和开展公共口腔卫生工作提供基线，重点关注农村居住地区。
