The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of tooth wear in young adults in Poland.
A total of 1,886 persons aged 18 years, selected on a basis of multistage sampling, were examined within the Nationwide Dental Health Monitoring Programme. Previously calibrated dentists measured tooth wear using the BEWE-scoring system (Basic Erosive Wear Examination).
Out of 1,886 young adults, 42.2% presented the signs of dental erosion. Considered the severity of erosion, it was graded as 1, 2 and 3 in 28.9%, 11.9% and 1.5% of 18-year-olds, respectively.
Results of clinical assessment of dental erosion in 18-year-old young adults revealed that erosive tooth wear is an important problem in this age group. Of them, 13.4% had signs of advanced tooth wear which may lead to serious clinical problems in the future.
本研究旨在评估波兰年轻成年人牙齿磨损的患病率。
在全国口腔健康监测项目中,通过多阶段抽样选取了1886名18岁的人员进行检查。先前经过校准的牙医使用BEWE评分系统(基本侵蚀性磨损检查)测量牙齿磨损情况。
在1886名年轻成年人中,42.2%有牙齿侵蚀迹象。考虑到侵蚀的严重程度,在18岁人群中,分别有28.9%、11.9%和1.5%的人被评为1级、2级和3级。
对18岁年轻成年人牙齿侵蚀的临床评估结果显示,侵蚀性牙齿磨损在该年龄组中是一个重要问题。其中,13.4%有严重牙齿磨损迹象,这可能在未来导致严重的临床问题。
